Abstract: A novel system and method are disclosed for associating computer-implemented features, functionalities, and/or digital asset rights with the consumption of consumable items using blockchain-based crypto-tokens. A new model of access authorization and licensing is achieved by linking the expenditure of crypto token transactions to the calculated expenditure of consumable items using the special features and functions of technology-enabled computer-implemented processes and methods performing these expenditures and controlling the access authorization and licensing as a function of blockchain immutable Smart Contract transactions. In addition, linking these same expenditures with the expenditure of digital asset rights, such as artwork printing, extends the value participation model to include manufacturers of consumable items, software developers, and digital rights creators such as artists.

Abstract: A method of facilitating printing of a digital image based on image splitting is disclosed. The method may include receiving, using a communication device, the digital image from a user device. Further, the method may include analyzing, using a processing device, the digital image. Further, the method may include determining, using the processing device, at least one image characteristic based on the analyzing of the digital image. Further, the method may include generating, using the processing device, a plurality of image segments based on the at least one image characteristic. Further, the method may include storing, using a storage device, the plurality of image segments. Further, the method may include transmitting, using the communication device, the plurality of image segments to the user device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide an apparatus, program product, and method that enable a group of users to prepare creative documents individually while working in a shared collective environment. Embodiments herein provide direct visual feedback of the work related to the documents, being performed by users in the group. As each user makes edits to their document, the edits made by the user are communicated with a collaboration manager. The collaboration manager incorporates the edits into the document and displays a preview of the edited document to the active members of the collaboration group. The preview may be displayed in a window along with the current design window of each user. There may also be an alternate means of communication between the users of the collaboration group displayed.
