Non-fungible token generation method using geographical information {NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN GENERATING METHOD USING GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a method of generating a non-fungible token. More specifically, a method of generating a non-fungible token using geographic information by matching geographic information and non-fungible information to create non-fungible information and matching it with virtual currency. It's about.

A non-fungible token is a virtual token that proves the owner of a digital asset using blockchain technology. It tags digital files or assets such as pictures and videos with a password that cannot be replaced (duplicated). It is used to indicate its unique originality and ownership.

Since files containing digital information can be easily copied, copy prevention technology using DRM through a centralized management server has been used to prevent copying. However, because it is under the control of a distribution system centered on a management server, it is difficult to view it as being owned by a completely independent individual.

In contrast, NFTs are not controlled by anyone using blockchain technology and have a uniqueness that cannot be copied, so their scarcity can be fully recognized and they can be viewed as relatively independently owned assets. Currently, due to these characteristics, various digital assets, including various works of art, are produced and traded as NFTs. Transactions of non-fungible tokens are generally conducted in an auction format using virtual currencies such as Ethereum, a virtual currency, on the NFT platform.

Digital assets tagged as NFTs have their owners and transaction history recorded through blockchain technology, and due to the nature of the technology, no one can tamper with them. Even if you duplicate the same digital file as an NFT, you are labeling it as an NFT that is different from existing NFTs, so it is distinguished from the original product created as an NFT. Currently, there is a strong tendency to convert works of art into NFTs, so it is used for very limited purposes.

The method of generating a non-fungible token using geographic information according to an embodiment of the present invention promotes the use of virtual currency as a means of payment and generates a non-fungible token using specific information that matches specific location information using virtual currency. The purpose is to add additional value to virtual currency.

This is a flowchart of a method for generating a non-fungible token, and Figure 3 shows a non-fungible token system 1000 using geographic information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The method of generating a non-fungible token using geographic information according to an embodiment of the present invention can be provided through a server that relays a first user device and a third user device. The server may be equipped with a wired or wireless data transmitting/receiving unit for exchanging data with the first user device 200 and/or the third user device 300. Additionally, a data processing unit may be provided to receive geographic information and location information from the first user device and the third user device and determine whether they match each other.

Hereinafter, a method for generating a non-fungible token using geographic information according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The method of generating a non-fungible token according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method of generating a non-fungible token using geographic information according to an aspect of the present invention to solve the above technical problem, where the server receives geographic information from the first user device. Includes a receiving step (S110).

The first user device may be a personal mobile device with a map application installed. The application may be equipped to use map data stored in the mobile device or data supplied through an API (Application Program Interface) supplied from a third server 400. However, it is not limited to this, and any device that allows you to check and designate geographic information of a specific area on a mobile device can be used.

For example, in the case where the first user device is a portable phone terminal equipped with a touch screen that can implement a map application, the user of the first user device can check a specific place located on a map of a specific area on the touch screen. Geographic information can be generated by touching a specific, identified location. Geographic information of a specific location designated by the first user is transmitted from the first user device to the server, and the server receives the geographic information transmitted from the first user device. In this way, geographic information refers to a specific area or point on a map displayed on a mobile device, rather than the concept of a real space or a real place in an actual offline space.

Next, the server includes a step of receiving virtual currency information from the first user device (S120).

Cryptocurrency may be cryptocurrency, and cryptocurrency may be defined as digital currency created using encryption technology (cryptography) in a distributed environment based on blockchain. However, it is not limited to this, and virtual currency can also be viewed as a general term for electronic payment methods distributed within a closed system, and all payments that can be used by converting credit card points, gift certificates, and other digital assets into electronic means of exchange. It can mean means. The first user device transmits this virtual currency information, and the server is equipped to receive and store the virtual currency information.

Next, the server includes a step of receiving location information from a third user device (S130).

The third user device is equipped to collect location information, which may mean location information of an actual offline space collected using GPS (Global Positioning System). However, it is not limited to this, and any means that can secure location information of an actual offline space can be used. For example, a data reading unit connected to a wireless communication module or image collection means provided in a third user device can be used, specifically Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, beacon, and RFID (adio- Frequency Identification, ZigBee, SUN (Smart Utility Network), 6LoWPAN (Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network), QR code (Quick Response code), or NFC (Near Field Communication) in the actual offline space. Location information can be collected.

Meanwhile, location information of the third user device may be collected through an augmented reality image generated using geographic information transmitted from the first user device. For example, the augmented reality image transmitted from the first user device is confirmed through an HMD or smartphone at a real location in offline reality that matches the geographic information transmitted from the first user device, and the confirmed augmented reality image is displayed. Through this, it can be confirmed that the third user device is located in an actual location that matches the geographic information specified by the first user device.

In the case of the first user device, the location information of the third user device can be secured by checking an electronic bulletin board posted in a random location transmitted from the third user device to the server through an augmented reality image.

The user of the first user device may be an administrator of a specific organization, and the user of the third user device may be a member of the organization. In order to designate a specific location on an actual map, the first user can generate geographic information by specifying a point on a map displayed on a mobile device or by inputting location information of a specific offline space. A third user can collect his/her location information by inputting the location information of his/her location or using a third user device, and such information becomes information shared between the first user and the third user.

Next, the server includes a step of verifying whether the location information and the geographic information match (S140).

Geographic information may be made using administrative district names on a map, and the server can convert this and store it in the form of coordinate data that quantifies latitude, longitude, and altitude. Location information can also be received in the form of coordinate data in the form of latitude, longitude, and altitude quantified as the location of the actual offline space, or converted into data in this form and designated as the location of a third user device.

The server can define that the geographic information and the location information of the third user device are matched by confirming that there is a difference within a certain error range. For example, latitude and longitude can be expressed by expressing the coordinates of a specific place in map information as 37°33'39.0"N 126°49'46.8"E. Through the information of latitude and longitude, it can be determined by a preset method whether the location information is located within a certain range from the location on the map corresponding to the geographical information, and if there is an error within a certain range, it can be defined as mutual matching. For more precise judgment, the actual location of the third user device can be determined using wireless data in addition to the location information received through GPS. Alternatively, location information corresponding to the actual location of the third user device can be collected by determining the QR code provided in advance at the appointed location.

Next, when the server confirms that the location information and the geographic information match, receiving sensing information or weather information for generating irreplaceable information from the third user device (S150).

Here, the irreplaceable information may be sensing information that can be collected from a sensing module of the third user device. For example, the sensing information may be one or more of temperature, humidity, altitude, atmospheric pressure, and geomagnetic information.

The sensing information may include time information measured in the step of receiving the location information. The solar altitude, humidity, and temperature measured at a specific time in a specific area can be combined and used as a single unique information.

The third user device may be equipped with a gyro sensor module, image sensor module, barometric pressure sensor module, humidity sensor module, temperature sensor module, and geomagnetic sensor module, through which information on time, solar altitude, humidity, and temperature are integrated into one. This can be defined as sensing information and transmitted to the server. The server can use this unique information to create irreplaceable information.

Alternatively, the non-replaceable information may be weather information transmitted by a third server at the request of the third user device. At the time of collection of the location information, the third user device transmits the weather information received from the third server that collects information such as weather in real time to the server, and the server receives it and uses it to generate irreplaceable information.

Irreplaceable information can be generated by the server matching the location information and the sensing information or the location information and the weather information. Irreplaceable information can be defined as unique information that cannot be replaced through the location information, sensing information, weather information, etc. provided as unique information.

Alternatively, by combining the surrounding images of the third user device collected through the image collection unit of the third user device at the same time as the time when the sensing information or weather information was collected from the third user device or at a time within a preset error range. The generated image information can be received and used to create irreplaceable information.

The method of generating a non-fungible token using geographic information according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include the step of the server matching the virtual currency information to the non-fungible information to generate a non-fungible token.

It may be equipped to generate a non-fungible token by matching the unique information received from a third user device with a cryptocurrency. For example, converting digital works into NFTs (non-fungible tokens) through the Ethereum blockchain is called minting. It can be understood as creating a non-fungible token through a method such as minting the above-mentioned unique information, not a digital work, with the Ethereum blockchain.

As described above, if the geographic information pre-specified from the first user device matches the location information of the third user device, the virtual currency information transmitted from the first user device may be transmitted to the third user device, and the server A non-fungible token can be created by matching or minting location information, sensing information, weather information, etc. corresponding to the unique information received from a third user device to the virtual currency information. Alternatively, a non-fungible token can be created by matching or minting location information, sensing information, weather information, etc. with the image information to virtual currency information.

A third-party user device that reaches a location that matches actual geographic information through virtual currency paid only at a specific location acquires virtual currency, and the server matches or mints it with unique information such as sensing information, location information, and image information. By creating a non-fungible token, virtual currency can be used as a means of payment and at the same time function as a means of storing new value. These non-fungible tokens can solve the demand for information about a specific time, surrounding images, or weather at a specific point in time that matches unique information.

In this specification and drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention are disclosed, and although specific terms are used, these are merely used in a general sense to easily explain the technical content of the present invention and aid understanding of the present invention. There is no intention to limit the scope. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein, other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention can be implemented.
