Smart Contract Production Instructions for Verified Digital Ownership

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack an efficient and secure method to verify ownership of digital assets in virtual environments for producing corresponding physical items, leading to potential fraudulent production and abuse of ownership rights.

Innovation Solution

Smart contracts are used to authenticate ownership of digital assets using unique keys, such as NFTs or private-public key pairs, to distribute production instructions for physical items, ensuring legitimate users receive instructions for producing items like apparel or 3D objects based on verified ownership.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual verification of digital asset ownership is used, then security and fraud prevention are improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveownership verification securityVSAvoidproduction instruction delivery time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The smart contract performs self-verification of digital asset ownership through automated cryptographic validation. The contract automatically checks the digital asset registry, verifies the user's claim, and executes the production instruction delivery without requiring manual intervention from administrators or third parties.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated electronic smart contract execution. The smart contract uses cryptographic algorithms and blockchain technology to automatically verify ownership and deliver instructions, eliminating the need for human operators to manually check ownership claims.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automated production instruction distribution is implemented, then productivity is improved, but security risks and fraudulent production increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveproduction instruction delivery efficiencyVSAvoidfraudulent production

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs disposable unique keys (such as NFTs or cryptographic tokens) that are generated once and then destroyed or rendered invalid after use. These keys are embedded in the smart contract and automatically consumed during the verification process, ensuring that each key can be used only once and cannot be reused for fraudulent purposes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The smart contract acts as an intermediary between the digital asset owner and the production system. It mediates the interaction by automatically verifying ownership claims, validating the uniqueness of keys, and conditionally delivering production instructions only to verified owners, thereby preventing fraudulent production while maintaining efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If unique key authentication is used, then ownership verification accuracy is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveownership verification accuracyVSAvoidauthentication system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The smart contract serves multiple functions within a single unified system: it stores digital asset information, verifies ownership claims, validates unique keys, and delivers production instructions. By consolidating these functions into one multi-functional contract, the patent reduces overall system complexity compared to having separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for generating smart contracts configured to distribute production instructions of physical items based on authentication of ownership of a corresponding digital assets, comprising receiving requests from one or more client devices used by respective users to produce one or more physical items corresponding to digital assets of the users, transmitting to the client device of each user a key uniquely associated with the digital assets, and generating a smart contract associating production instructions for producing the one or more physical items with respective unique keys. The smart contract is configured to provide the production instructions to the one or more users based on authentication of their unique key such that the users interacting with the smart contract use their unique keys to authenticate their ownership of their digital assets and receive the production instructions for producing the physical items.
