Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an efficient method for tokenizing and managing modifiable game assets on a distributed blockchain, particularly in online gaming platforms, where secure transfer and verification of ownership and usage rights are challenging.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing smart contracts to generate and manage license keys for modifiable game assets, allowing for secure transfers and verification on a distributed blockchain, enabling the tokenization and sale of modified assets while ensuring compliance with platform rules and guidelines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional centralized systems are used to manage game asset ownership and transfers, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but security and transparency of ownership records deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity and transparency of ownership recordsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a smart contract as an intermediary layer between users and the blockchain ledger. The smart contract automatically manages license key transfers and ownership verification, eliminating the need for complex centralized verification systems while maintaining security and transparency through automated, tamper-proof execution of ownership transfers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If manual verification methods are used for license key transfers, then system complexity is reduced, but productivity and transfer efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer efficiencyVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The smart contract system enables self-service automated verification of license key transfers. The contract automatically verifies ownership, validates transfer conditions, and updates ownership records without requiring manual intervention from administrators or verification personnel, thereby dramatically improving transfer efficiency while keeping the verification logic encapsulated within the contract itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If license keys are transferred without automated verification, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability of ownership rights deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveownership rights verificationVSAvoidtransfer operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The smart contract performs preliminary verification of ownership rights and transfer conditions before executing the license key transfer. All verification logic, ownership validation, and permission checks are built into the contract and executed automatically prior to the transfer, ensuring reliability of ownership rights while maintaining ease of operation as users simply initiate transfers without complex manual verification steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods for facilitating tokenization of modifiable game assets on a distributed blockchain may: generate a smart contract configured to contain license keys associated with the modifiable game assets and to effectuate transfers of the license keys to purchasers; post the smart contract to a distributed blockchain; receive sales information describing a first game asset that is usable within the online gaming platform and intended to be offered for sale to gaming users of the online gaming platform; obtain verification information that indicates the first game asset has passed or failed a verification; tokenize the first game asset into a tokenized game asset on the distributed blockchain, responsive to the verification passing successfully; and offer the tokenized game asset for sale.
