Solution Overview

Problem

Existing non-fungible token standards in blockchain technology are limited in functionality and lack the ability to effectively manage shareability and trustability, especially when interacting with both digital and physical worlds, and do not utilize mathematical operators to define relationships between tokens and smart contracts.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a programmable grammar-based syntax standard for non-fungible tokens that allows for the use of mathematical operators to define relationships and enable smart contracts to be embedded, forming non-fungible token attribute associations for interoperability, without relying on APIs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing non-fungible token standards are used, then implementation is simple, but functionality and programmable management capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidcomplexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic smart contracts that can be embedded within non-fungible tokens, allowing the tokens to execute programmable logic and adapt their behavior based on conditions. This transforms static token standards into dynamic, programmable systems that can manage complex relationships and interactions between tokens and external systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces programmable parameters and attributes that can be dynamically configured and modified through smart contracts. These parameters enable flexible control over token behavior, relationships, and interactions, allowing the system to adapt to various functional requirements without changing the underlying token structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If existing token standards are used, then compatibility is maintained, but ability to manage shareability and trustability is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovetrustabilityVSAvoidcomplexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms through smart contracts that can verify and enforce trust relationships between tokens and external systems. The system continuously monitors and validates interactions, providing feedback loops that ensure shareability and trustability are maintained throughout the token lifecycle and cross-chain operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces smart contracts as intermediary layers between non-fungible tokens and external systems or other blockchains. These intermediaries manage trust relationships, verify authenticity, and control shareability, enabling reliable cross-chain and cross-system interactions without requiring direct trust between disparate systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing token standards are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but programmable management and extensibility are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveextensibilityVSAvoidease of operation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the token system into modular components, with smart contracts providing programmable functionality that can be independently configured and extended. This segmentation allows complex programmable management capabilities to be built from simpler, reusable modules, maintaining ease of operation through standardized interfaces while enabling extensive customization and extensibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Adaptability or versatility

If mathematical operators are not used, then simplicity is maintained, but ability to define relationships between tokens and smart contracts is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or manual methods of defining token relationships with mathematical operators implemented through smart contracts. These operators provide precise, programmable ways to define and enforce relationships between tokens and smart contracts, enabling complex logical conditions and transformations while maintaining systematic consistency through mathematical rigor.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Methods and systems described herein may implement non-fungible tokens that implement a programmable grammar-based syntax in a variety of environments. In an embodiment, a first non-fungible token that implements a programmable grammar-based syntax standard and includes a first updatable programmable section is generated. The first non-fungible token includes at least one of first executable instructions or first data, and a first portion of the at least one of the first executable instructions or the first data is stored, according to the grammar-based syntax standard, in the first updatable programmable section. The first non-fungible token may then be stored at a first blockchain address on a blockchain, and the first portion of the at least one of the first executable instructions or the first data in the first updatable programmable section of the first non-fungible token is subsequently changed to at least one of second executable instructions or second data.
