Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems struggle to simplify the creation, management, and interaction with Web3 assets like NFTs for both administrators and users, due to the complexity of Web3 technologies and the need for understanding cryptographic keys and blockchain transactions.

Innovation Solution

A system that utilizes Web2 technologies and interfaces to facilitate the creation, management, and distribution of Web3 assets, providing a user-friendly interface for administrators and users to interact with Web3 assets without needing to understand blockchain technology or cryptographic keys.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If Web3 technologies are directly integrated into enterprise applications, then Web3 asset management capability is improved, but system complexity and operational difficulty increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveWeb3 asset management capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a Web2 intermediary layer (server, database, user interface) that mediates between enterprise applications and Web3 technologies. This intermediary handles cryptographic operations, blockchain transactions, and digital wallet management automatically, allowing enterprise systems to interact with Web3 assets without direct integration of complex Web3 protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a simplified copy of Web3 asset management functionality using Web2 technologies. Instead of directly implementing Web3 protocols in enterprise applications, the system creates a virtual representation that replicates Web3 asset management capabilities through familiar Web2 interfaces and processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If enterprise administrators manually create and manage Web3 assets, then control over Web3 assets is improved, but operational difficulty and learning requirement increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol over Web3 assetsVSAvoidoperational difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service functionality where the system automatically handles Web3 asset creation, management, and distribution without requiring manual intervention from administrators. The Web2 interface automatically generates transactions, manages digital wallets, and handles blockchain operations, eliminating the need for administrators to understand or manually execute complex Web3 procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If users interact with Web3 assets directly, then user control over assets is improved, but ease of use decreases due to technical complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control over assetsVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a Web2 intermediary interface that mediates between users and Web3 assets. This interface handles cryptographic keys, digital wallet management, and blockchain transactions automatically, allowing users to interact with Web3 assets through familiar Web2 processes without needing to understand the underlying technical complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If existing Web3 interfaces are used for asset management, then Web3 functionality is improved, but user accessibility decreases due to technical intimidation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveWeb3 functionalityVSAvoiduser accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a simplified copy of Web3 functionality using Web2 interfaces and processes. Instead of requiring users to interact with native Web3 interfaces that are technically complex, the system creates a virtual representation that replicates Web3 functionality through familiar, intuitive Web2 processes and terminology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Systems include reception of a request at a Web server to create a Web3 asset on a Web3 database, the request identifying metadata and data associated with the Web3 asset. In response to the received request, an identifier of the Web3 asset is stored in a database table in association with the metadata and an identifier of a tenant, the data associated with the Web3 asset is stored in a blob store, an encrypted operation is generated to create the Web3 asset on the Web3 database, where the encrypted operation encrypted by a private key associated with the identifier of the tenant, and the encrypted operation is transmitted to the Web3 database.
