Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital entitlement systems are proprietary, inflexible, and siloed, lacking interoperability, commercial value, social context, and mechanisms for recycling brand advertising spend, failing to meet the expectations of modern consumers for portable, shareable, and socially connected digital assets.

Innovation Solution

A unified platform that tokenizes disparate digital entitlements, enabling monetization, geo-targeted distribution, user-side wallet management, gifting, and redemption, with rule-based architecture that respects brand control and privacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If digital entitlements are issued within proprietary brand-specific environments, then brand control and security are maintained, but interoperability and user mobility are restricted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebrand controlVSAvoidinteroperability

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a digital wallet as an intermediary layer between users and brand-specific entitlement systems. The wallet stores and manages digital entitlements from multiple brands, allowing users to access and transfer entitlements without direct integration with each brand's proprietary system. This mediator approach maintains brand control while enabling cross-platform interoperability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the entitlement ecosystem into distinct layers: brand-issuing systems, a standardized digital wallet infrastructure, and user-access interfaces. This segmentation allows each brand to maintain control over their entitlement issuance while the wallet layer provides standardized interoperability, resolving the contradiction between proprietary control and cross-system compatibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If digital entitlements are treated as cost centers for retention, then customer loyalty is driven, but commercial monetization opportunities are lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecustomer retentionVSAvoidcommercial value

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static entitlements into dynamic, transferable assets that can change hands between users. The digital wallet enables entitlements to be gifted, traded, or transferred, creating a dynamic ecosystem where entitlements can be monetized through secondary markets while the original brand retains control over issuance and redemption terms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to self-manage their entitlements through the digital wallet, including transferring, gifting, and tracking entitlements without brand intervention. This self-service capability unlocks commercial value by allowing users to actively engage with and monetize their entitlements while the brand focuses on issuance and redemption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If digital entitlements are non-transferable, then brand security and intended use are protected, but social sharing and user engagement are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsocial sharing

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements configurable transferability parameters for different entitlement types. Brands can set specific rules about whether entitlements are transferable, giftable, or restricted to single-use, allowing security requirements to be adjusted per entitlement while enabling social sharing where appropriate. The digital wallet handles these parameter variations transparently.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

4Device complexity

If entitlement systems are siloed within brands, then system complexity is reduced, but user consolidation and value discovery are prevented

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidvalue consolidation

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The digital wallet serves as a universal platform that can store and manage multiple types of digital entitlements from different brands in a single interface. This multi-functional wallet consolidates value across entitlement types (loyalty points, promo codes, digital credits) while maintaining the simplicity of individual brand systems through standardized integration protocols.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Tokenization, social distribution, and redemption of digital entitlements, including: a digital entitlement ingestion and tokenization engine configured to receive and escrow value-bearing digital entitlements from an entity; a token engine configured to generate transferable tokens from the entitlements with embedded redemption rules; a distribution module enabling third-party entities to purchase and airdrop the tokens to end users based on location or contextual triggers; a user wallet interface enabling the end users to collect, store, gift, and redeem the tokens; a social gifting module configured to allow the end users to transmit the tokens to other users subject to transfer rules; and an optional redemption bridge configured to un-tokenize the tokens that have been redeemed and initiate value transfer to accounts of the end users within the originating system.
