Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for restricting application use do not leverage cryptocurrency to manage access based on token ownership, leading to inefficiencies and potential increased processing loads.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that restricts application use based on the amount of cryptocurrency tokens held by a user, using a server to determine token ownership and impose restrictions when the amount falls below a predetermined threshold, thereby increasing demand and reducing server load.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional usage condition-based restriction methods are used, then application use can be restricted based on time, location, and user attributes, but cryptocurrency integration and token demand stimulation are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecryptocurrency integrationVSAvoidexisting restriction method effectiveness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the restriction criterion from traditional parameters (time, location, user attributes) to a new parameter (cryptocurrency token amount). The server determines whether to restrict application use based on the amount of tokens held by the user, comparing it against a predetermined threshold. This parameter change enables cryptocurrency integration while maintaining the core function of usage restriction.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If application use is freely allowed without cryptocurrency restrictions, then user accessibility is maintained, but token demand decreases and server processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetoken demandVSAvoidapplication accessibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The server performs preliminary verification of the user's token amount before allowing application use. By checking the cryptocurrency balance in advance and comparing it with the predetermined threshold, the system prevents unauthorized access and reduces unnecessary processing loads on the server while stimulating token demand through the requirement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If cryptocurrency verification is implemented for all users, then token ownership control is achieved, but server processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetoken ownership verificationVSAvoidserver processing load

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the cryptocurrency verification function as a separate, dedicated process performed by the server. The server specifically determines the amount of tokens held by the user and compares it against the threshold, isolating this verification logic from the main application execution flow. This extraction enables reliable token ownership verification while managing server processing load through efficient, targeted checks.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

There is provided an information processing method in which a computer executes processing of: determining whether or not the amount of cryptocurrency held by a user is less than a predetermined number; and restricting the user's use of an application or service when it is determined that the amount held is less than the predetermined number. Preferably, the amount of cryptocurrency held by the user is acquired based on the user's wallet address.
