Abstract: A method for registering and authenticating a user based on a visual access code. The method includes presenting, to the user, images; receiving a selection of a first image; receiving a selection of at least a first set of hotspots from a plurality of hotspots included in the first image; and generating a visual access code based at least in part on the selection of the first image and the first set of hotspots.

Abstract: A system for enforcing restrictive access control with respect to a set of digital objects includes a first device. The first device is configured to: determine, based at least in part on a first access control rule, to block access to at least a first digital object included in the set of digital objects; determine, based at least in part on a second access control rule, to block access to at least a second digital object included in the set of digital objects; and provide, to a user of the first device, at least a third digital object included in the set of digital objects but not the first digital object and the second digital object.

Abstract: A system for performing a hybrid in-memory faceted search for one or more digital objects, comprising: a media platform comprising one or more processors configured to: store an index for a data set generated using one or more indexing processes, wherein the index includes a mapping of values to identifiers for each digital object in the data set; receive an update for the index; store the index update with a timestamp independent from the stored index; and in response to a request for the stored index, apply the index updates to the index.

Abstract: A garment having an outer surface not designed for writing has at least one rewritable area comprising a layer of rewritable material deposited directly onto a selected region of the outer surface. One or more permanent artworks may be deposited onto the garment prior to deposit of the rewritable layer, which may be contiguous or non-contiguous. A stencil is provided for allowing a user to write on rewritable areas while protecting adjacent areas of the garment. In one method for forming the rewritable area, a first portion of a permanent artwork and a second portion of the permanent artwork are successively deposited on the garment, followed by curing the permanent artwork and depositing a rewritable area on the garment.

Abstract: A system for performing a hierarchical visual faceted search includes a media platform comprising processors configured to: provide a selector user interface (UI) adapted to receive selection criteria; provide a first level menu comprising first level selection criteria including a first selection criterion; receive an indication to add the first selection criterion to the selector UI; provide a second level menu comprising second level selection criteria corresponding to the first selection criterion, wherein the second level selection criteria includes a second selection criterion; receive an indication to add the second selection criterion to the selector UI; add the first selection criterion and the second selection criterion to the selector UI; and execute a search to identify digital objects satisfying the first and the second selection criterion based on a content of the selector UI.

Abstract: A system for enforcing restrictive access control with respect to a set of digital objects accessible by a first device and second device of a user. The system includes the first device of the user configured to: detect an update associated with a first system access control rule, wherein the first system access control rule is to block access to at least a first digital object included in the set of digital objects on the first device; determine, based at least in part on the update to the first system access control rule, to block access to at least a second digital object included in the set of digital objects on a second device; and provide, to the second device, the update associated with a first system access control rule to maintain restrictive access control over the set of digital objects on a second device.

Abstract: A system for curating digital objects of a digital platform. In various embodiments, the digital platform may include one or more processors configured to index digital objects of the digital platform to identify semantic information of each digital object, and associate a plurality of digital objects based on matching semantic information.
