  • Patent number: 11880372
    Abstract: A plurality of metadata entries may be sent from a database system to a distributed storage system via a communication interface. The metadata entries may correspond with a respective plurality of metadata identifiers. A first function in a smart contract deployed on a blockchain may be executed to mint a designated non-fungible token initially owned by a first blockchain party corresponding with a database system account. A first transaction transferring the designated non-fungible token to a second blockchain party different from the first blockchain party may be identified. A second function in the smart contract may be executed to record a second transaction updating an attribute value associated with the designated non-fungible token to include a designated one of the plurality of metadata identifiers corresponding with a designated one of the metadata entries.

  • Patent number: 9239707
    Abstract: A model framework is used to implement the model component of application using a model-view-controller design pattern. The model framework provides built-in functionality that defines a default behavior. Application programming interfaces (APIs) allow an application developer to modify the default behavior of the model framework in a manner that suits the data model of the application.

  • Patent number: 9058503
    Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention includes a computer-implemented method for a mobile device. An application security status is detected. When the application security status is active an application passcode is required to access functionality of a mobile application operating on the mobile device. A first encryption of data associated with the mobile application is performed, where the first encryption uses a first encryption key when the application security status is active, and the first encryption uses a second encryption key when the application security status is not active. A mobile device passcode status is detected. When the mobile device passcode status is active a mobile device passcode is required to access functionality of the mobile computing device. A second encryption of the data is performed when the mobile device passcode status is active, where the second encryption uses a third encryption key.
