Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to provide a unified user interface for displaying and synchronizing information associated with both custodial and self-custody wallet addresses, leading to fragmented user experiences and inefficient management of digital assets.

Innovation Solution

A custodial token platform enables synchronization and display of self-custody address tokens and profile tokens on a single user interface by allowing users to connect their self-custody addresses to their profiles, with the platform obtaining necessary permissions and information to integrate balances and activities from both types of wallets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If separate interfaces are used for custodial and self-custody wallets, then security and control are maintained, but user experience is fragmented and management efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidsystem integration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines custodial and self-custody wallet interfaces into a single unified interface. The system allows users to connect both wallet types through one platform, displaying balances and transactions from both sources in one view, thereby improving ease of operation while managing complexity through integrated architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The platform is designed to universally support multiple wallet types (custodial and self-custody) within a single system. It provides multi-functional capabilities including balance viewing, transaction monitoring, and asset management for different wallet types through one unified application, eliminating the need for separate interfaces

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

2Productivity

If unified interface integrates both wallet types, then user experience improves and management efficiency increases, but system complexity and integration difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanagement efficiencyVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary layer that handles the complexity of integrating different wallet types. This intermediary component manages the connections between the unified interface and both custodial and self-custody wallets, allowing efficient data aggregation and presentation while isolating integration complexity from the user-facing interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The integration system is segmented into distinct modular components that handle different aspects of wallet integration separately. This segmentation allows each component to manage specific wallet types or functions independently, improving maintainability and reducing overall integration complexity while achieving unified user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If platform accesses self-custody wallet information, then unified display is enabled, but user security control and permission management become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidpermission management
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The permission system is made dynamic, allowing users to selectively grant or revoke access to their self-custody wallet information at any time. The system can adapt permission levels based on user preferences, enabling flexible information sharing while maintaining security control and simplifying permission management through user-initiated configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A client application on a user device may display, via a user interface, information about first tokens associated with a profile of a custodial token platform. The client application may receive a first input to connect a self-custody address to the profile of the custodial token platform associated with the client application. After receiving the first input, the client application may receive a second input to authorize the custodial token platform to access and display information associated with the self-custody address at the client application. The client application may obtain an indication of the second tokens associated with the self-custody address via services associated with the custodial token platform and update the user interface to include information about the second tokens associated with the self-custody address concurrently with information about the first tokens associated with the profile.
