  • Publication number: 20210150054
    Abstract: A system and method for recording independently verifiable user consent for data processing. When processing an opt-in command from a user which signifies the user's consent to have their data processed, or an opt-out command from a user which signifies the user's withdrawal of consent (or otherwise refusal to provide their consent) to have their data processed, the system and method operates to verify the identity of the user, log the desired command in a private distributed ledger, and the synchronize the private distributed ledger with an open distributed ledger so as to be verifiable and auditable. In this regard, the system and method utilizes a parallel private ledger as an intermediary to the open distributed ledger to allow for more efficient and secure updating through synchronization.

  • Patent number: 9922337
    Abstract: A system and method for assigning a value to an electronic communications action by a user based on the social media profile of the user in the initiation of transactions based on some electronic communications action by a user, such as updating their social status with their mobile device. The value of the reward or distribution is variable as it is determined in real time from a calculation using the user's social media influence. The components of Applicant's invention include a system monitor, a validation module, and a redemption module, which work in concert to provide a user with a tangible and immediately usable reward of some value, or credit towards the same, in response to the user publishing or sending certain social status updates, messages, or posts with their mobile device, with the value awarded determined in real time.

  • Patent number: 9773255
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically distributing physical rewards based on a user updating their social status with their mobile device utilizing a system monitor, a validation module, and a redemption module. The system monitor continually monitors social media networks for social updates containing certain preset specified content. When such content is identified, the location and other preset criteria pertaining to the device transmitting the update is validated by the validation module. Once the device has been validated, the redemption module is commanded to issue a tangible reward, such as a movie ticket from a ticket machine or a soda from a soda machine to the user of the device which transmitted the update. This way, the system and method provides a user with a tangible and immediately usable reward in response to the user publishing or sending certain social status updates, messages, or posts with their mobile device.
