Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems for controlling cryptoassets focus on terminal activation but fail to directly manage the quantity circulating in the market, necessitating indirect methods that are inadequate for stabilizing value.

Innovation Solution

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and function restriction device that restricts software functions on user terminals based on cryptoasset holdings, using a function restriction program to manage token quantities and market circulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If issuance limit is set for cryptoassets, then scarcity is ensured and value decline is prevented, but the quantity of cryptoassets circulating in the market cannot be directly controlled

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvescarcity assuranceVSAvoidcirculation quantity control

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses terminal activation functions as an intermediary mechanism to indirectly control cryptoasset circulation. By controlling whether terminals can access trading functions, the system indirectly influences the quantity of cryptoassets in circulation without directly managing each asset unit

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to self-regulate their trading behavior through terminal activation restrictions. Users voluntarily adjust their terminal usage based on market conditions and system guidelines, achieving circulation control through self-service rather than direct system intervention

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If terminal functions are controlled to indirectly control cryptoasset circulation, then circulation quantity can be influenced, but the system does not specifically target users who own cryptoassets

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecirculation quantity controlVSAvoiduser-specific targeting

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different terminal activation conditions to different user groups based on their cryptoasset ownership status. Users who own cryptoassets face different activation requirements compared to general users, enabling targeted control where the restriction quality varies by local user characteristics

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary verification of cryptoasset ownership before applying terminal activation restrictions. By checking ownership status in advance and setting appropriate activation conditions, the system ensures that restrictions are applied specifically to the right user group before trading operations occur

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a function restriction program causing a computer to execute processes of receiving a request including a user ID from a user terminal, acquiring a holding quantity of cryptoassets of a user based on the user ID, generating function restriction information for software executed on the user terminal based on the acquired holding quantity, and transmitting the generated function restriction information to the user terminal.
