Patent number: 12626424Abstract: Systems and methods for receipt-gated, fail-closed rendering and egress of synthetic overlays in AR/VR/camera pipelines. An OS-resident reality compositor admits an overlay only when a per-overlay Reality Receipt (R2) verifies, within the frame budget, to a current signed head of an append-only public log under a freshness policy, using an inclusion proof and, on head advance, append-only evolution (consistency); an anti-replay tuple prevents reuse. A view-permit latch binds time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) verify-to-pixels and returns a Structured Precondition-Failure (code) while dropping non-conformant draws; PASS draws are labeled in machine-readable (optionally machine-audible) form. The same predicates govern rendering and at least one of share, upload, record/capture, or clipboard. An attested boundary (TEE/secure element) may aggregate a device run-permit across apps.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2025Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: SILENT AUTHORITY LLCInventor: Yong Bok Lee
