Solution Overview

Problem

Existing safety deposit boxes require physical presence for access and lack the ability to create generalized metaverse items from real-world goods, limiting their utility in decentralized commerce and financial services.

Innovation Solution

A system that secures physical objects in an electronically locked volume, scans them, and generates metaverse assets using generative models, enabling minting and ownership tracking on a distributed ledger, allowing users to interact with these assets in a metaverse environment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If safety deposit boxes require physical presence for access, then security is maintained, but customer convenience and accessibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidcustomer accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital copy (metaverse asset) of the physical object stored in the safety deposit box. This digital replica can be accessed, viewed, and interacted with remotely in the metaverse environment, while the original physical object remains securely stored. The digital twin provides convenience and accessibility without compromising the security of the physical item.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If metaverse items are linked to highly-specific real-world items, then authenticity is maintained, but versatility and generalizability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveauthenticityVSAvoidgeneralizability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal system where any physical object stored in a safety deposit box can be converted into a metaverse asset through standardized scanning and digitalization processes. The system uses generic metadata structures and universal access protocols that work across different types of objects, enabling the same infrastructure to serve diverse items while maintaining their unique identities and authenticity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If physical objects are scanned and digitized for metaverse assets, then accessibility and engagement improve, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables customers to initiate the scanning and digitalization process themselves through user-friendly interfaces at the safety deposit box locations. The automated scanning equipment and AI-driven asset generation require minimal operator intervention, with the system handling object recognition, metadata extraction, and metaverse asset creation automatically, thereby reducing the burden on staff while improving customer engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for generating a metaverse asset based on securing a physical object. An example method includes authenticating a user to a metaverse instance using metaverse credentials and authenticating the user to a transaction server using transaction server credentials. The example method further includes securing and scanning a physical object, generating scanned object raw data. The example method further includes generating a metaverse representation of the physical object based on the scanned object raw data, broadcasting the minting and ownership of a metaverse asset to the metaverse instance, where the metaverse asset comprises a link to the metaverse representation of the physical object, where the ownership is associated with the metaverse credentials and providing an indication of securing the physical object and an indication of broadcasting ownership of the metaverse asset to the transaction server.
