Virtual Chain Digital Content Sharing Without Duplication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital security and password protection systems lack efficient methods for securely transferring and sharing digital content across multiple devices and locations without creating extra copies or compromising ownership rights.
Innovation Solution
The Temporary External Secured Storage (TESS) system allows for the creation of virtual chains of digital content across registered devices, enabling secure sharing and transfer without moving or duplicating content, along with advanced access control and backup features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If digital content is transferred across multiple devices using traditional methods, then content sharing is enabled, but extra copies are created and ownership control is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a digital content management system as an intermediary between content owners and receiving devices. This mediator enables content access and transfer without creating physical copies, using virtual reference mechanisms and cryptographic authentication to maintain single-source ownership while allowing widespread access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs virtual copying mechanisms where digital content references are created rather than actual content duplicates. The system generates access tokens and cryptographic keys that allow content to be accessed across multiple devices without duplicating the underlying data, thus enabling content proliferation without substance multiplication.
2Reliability
If digital content is secured with passwords and access controls, then ownership protection is improved, but access management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms access control from traditional password-based systems to a cryptographic parameter system. By changing the fundamental parameters of authentication (using public-private key pairs, digital signatures, and cryptographic tokens), the system achieves stronger ownership protection while reducing the operational complexity of access management through automated cryptographic verification.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple devices are registered to access content, then content accessibility is improved, but system security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the authentication and access control functions across multiple cryptographic layers. Each registered device receives unique cryptographic credentials segmented from the master content ownership keys. This segmentation allows multiple devices to access content independently while maintaining security, as each device's access is cryptographically isolated and can be individually revoked without affecting other devices.

AI summary
A temporary external secured storage (or “TESS”) system utilizes a group of system tools to aid in the management of digital content. An artificial or virtual chain tool, manager tool and enhanced backup and restoration function tool help the TESS system to efficiently control digital content being managed through the system.
