  • Patent number: 11348152
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to create apparel and other goods that provide embedded verification of a transferrable non-fungible token (“NFT”). For instance, a system may identify a good with a visualization of an NFT artifact, and a tag that is encoded with a unique network identifier. The system may obtain data for a profile of a user that purchases the good, may link the data from the profile of the user to the unique network identifier, may record the user as an owner of a NFT created for the NFT artifact on a blockchain, and may link the NFT to the unique network identifier. The system may present a website that is dynamically populated with the data from the profile and ownership information recorded with the NFT on the blockchain in response to a request from a device that reads the unique network identifier from the tag.

  • Patent number: 11321751
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a geo-targeted online reservation system that ensures authenticity of customer devices requesting reservations by generating reservations only if threshold authentication conditions are satisfied. For example, a computing device registered with a server system receives inputs for requesting a reservation of a limited release product and for configuring the product. To authenticate the computing device, the server device transmits an electronic message to the computing device requesting the computing device to respond. A response to the message is one threshold authentication condition for generating the reservation. Upon determining that one or more threshold authentication conditions are satisfied, the server device generates a reservation for the product.

  • Patent number: 11205208
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating mitigation of dangerous activities are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method can include detecting, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a trigger event based on a determination that a security risk level satisfies a defined condition associated with the security risk level. The security risk level can be associated with an item of interest and a monitored behavior related to the item of interest. The computer-implemented method can also include implementing, by the system, an action that mitigates an impact of the security risk level. The action can be implemented as the trigger event is detected and the action can be determined based on the item of interest and the monitored behavior.
