Solution Overview

Problem

Existing virtual keyboard services do not effectively incentivize users to actively use the virtual keyboards, and they lack a mechanism to reward users with cryptocurrency based on the association between keyboard NFTs and word NFTs or the rate of change in NFT attributes.

Innovation Solution

A virtual keyboard service that monitors user interaction with a keyboard NFT through an application, measures the NFT's attributes based on usage, and rewards users with cryptocurrency for the ability of their keyboard NFT, which is determined by efficiency and durability attributes that change with usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a virtual keyboard service provides point-based rewards for usage, then users receive some incentive to use the keyboard, but the incentive is insufficient to actively engage users and lacks cryptocurrency value

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidusage frequency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the reward parameter from conventional points to cryptocurrency tokens, fundamentally changing the value proposition. The keyboard NFT's ability parameter, which dynamically changes based on usage statistics and word NFT associations, creates a variable reward system that adapts to user behavior patterns, thereby increasing engagement and usage frequency simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces word NFTs as intermediary elements that associate with keyboard NFTs. These word NFTs serve as mediators that enhance the keyboard's ability parameter when used together, creating a layered incentive structure where users are motivated to use specific words through the virtual keyboard to maximize cryptocurrency rewards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the service monitors and measures NFT attributes based on usage to determine rewards, then cryptocurrency rewards can be precisely calculated, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereward calculation accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The keyboard NFT automatically tracks its own usage statistics and dynamically adjusts its ability parameter based on predefined rules regarding usage frequency and word NFT associations. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for complex external monitoring systems, as the NFT autonomously manages its own reward qualification status

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where usage data continuously updates the keyboard NFT's ability parameter, which in turn affects future reward calculations. This real-time feedback mechanism ensures precise reward calculation based on actual usage patterns while maintaining system simplicity through automated parameter adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed herein are a method for providing a virtual keyboard service that pays a cryptocurrency reward in consideration of an association between a keyboard NFT and a word NFT and an apparatus therefor. The use of a virtual keyboard by a user having a keyboard NFT may be monitored based on an application, the ability of the keyboard NFT may be measured in consideration of the attribute of the keyboard NFT that changes depending on the amount of usage of the virtual keyboard and the amount of usage of a word of a word NFT mapped to the user, an amount of cryptocurrency corresponding to the ability of the keyboard NFT may be mined while the virtual keyboard is being used, and the mined cryptocurrency may be paid to the user as a reward.
