Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems struggle to accurately identify market characteristics that drive the value of digital assets with varying scarcity characteristics and cannot effectively execute transactions involving various digital assets.

Innovation Solution

A system for secure allocation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) using containerized data structures, which includes a smart contract that can divide and dynamically modify allocations based on various thresholds, such as time-based triggers, to manage NFT portions across multiple accounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional systems are used to manage digital assets, then system simplicity is maintained, but the ability to accurately identify market characteristics and execute transactions involving various digital assets is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to identify market characteristics and execute transactionsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments digital assets into standardized classes (e.g., real estate, commodities, securities) with distinct scarcity characteristics. Each asset class is managed through dedicated smart contract templates that encode specific market rules and valuation methodologies, enabling accurate identification and handling of different asset types without requiring a completely new system for each asset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a universal transaction platform that can handle multiple digital asset classes through a common architecture. The system uses standardized smart contract interfaces and unified valuation mechanisms that work across different asset types (real estate tokens, commodity NFTs, security tokens), allowing the same system to perform diverse transaction functions without sacrificing adaptability.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If NFTs are divided into portions for fractional ownership, then transaction flexibility and value management are improved, but the complexity of managing allocations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction flexibility and value managementVSAvoidallocation management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic allocation management where smart contracts automatically adjust NFT portion allocations based on predefined conditions and triggers. Valuation parameters, allocation ratios, and transfer conditions can be dynamically modified through governed smart contract updates, allowing the system to adapt to changing market conditions without manual intervention for each transaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors market data, asset valuations, and transaction outcomes. This feedback is used to automatically adjust allocation parameters, trigger rebalancing events, and modify smart contract terms based on actual performance metrics, creating a self-regulating allocation system that reduces manual management complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If dynamic modification of NFT allocations is implemented, then responsiveness to market conditions is improved, but the reliability of allocation integrity may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponsiveness to market conditionsVSAvoidallocation integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces trusted intermediary smart contracts that mediate between dynamic market conditions and allocation modifications. These intermediary contracts enforce predefined rules and validation logic, ensuring that any dynamic changes to allocations are performed only according to audited, predetermined criteria. This intermediary layer maintains allocation integrity by preventing arbitrary modifications while still allowing responsive adjustments based on verified market data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by establishing all modification rules, validation criteria, and approval mechanisms in advance through smart contract deployment. Before dynamic modifications can occur, the system pre-configures acceptable parameter ranges, required approval thresholds, and validation logic. This preliminary setup ensures that future dynamic changes will maintain allocation integrity by design, not by chance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Aspects of this technical solution can include registering a first non-fungible token (NFT) account of a customer to a first public and private key pair, registering a second NFT account of a financial institution to a second public and private key pair, receiving a request to transfer to the first NFT account an NFT having a quantitative value, generating a second quantitative value of the NFT based on the quantitative value of the NFT and a quantitative value of fiat currency, transferring the NFT to a smart contract, linking the first public and private key pair to the smart contract and a fractional value of the NFT, and linking the second public and private key pair to the smart contract and the second quantitative value of the NFT.
