  • Patent number: 12047507
    Abstract: A node in a blockchain network may send an operation for geometrically fractionalizing an non-fungible token (NFT) into geometric shards to a blockchain network. The geometric fractionalization associates each geometric shard with a specific part of the NFT. The node may also record, on distributed ledger of the blockchain network, the fractionalization of the NFT and the association between each geometric shard with the specific part of the NFT.

  • Publication number: 20240171393
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for validating ownership of a digital asset is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes transmitting a public key for encrypting a digital asset to an owner of the digital asset responsive to receiving a request for the public key. The computer-implemented method further includes receiving from the owner of the digital asset, an encrypted digital asset and a first liveness hash, wherein the digital asset is encrypted using the public key, and the first liveness hash is generated based, at least in part, on the digital asset in an unencrypted form and a first nonce. The computer-implemented method further includes determining whether the first liveness hash is valid. The computer-implemented method further includes generating in response to determining that the first liveness hash is valid, a digital asset record, wherein the digital asset record includes the encrypted digital asset and the first liveness hash.

  • Patent number: 11811246
    Abstract: A processor may identify that a computing device is below a power threshold. The processor may generate a charge request. The charge request may include metrics associated with a requested power exchange. The processor may send the charge request to a decentralized exchange. The decentralized exchange may include the computing device and at least two other devices. The processor may receive respective charging proposals from the at least two other devices. The processor may select one of the respective charging proposals.

  • Patent number: 11811336
    Abstract: A piezoelectric generator structure disposed between an upper platform and a lower platform that includes a lower piezoelectric pad, an upper piezoelectric pad, and a connecting shaft. The lower piezoelectric pad coupled to the upper piezoelectric pad via the connecting shaft, where the lower piezoelectric pad is configured to compress under a downward motion of the upper platform during a compression movement due to an additional load being applied to an existing load on a top surface of the upper platform, where the lower piezoelectric pad produces a first voltage due to the compression movement. The upper piezoelectric pad configured to compress under an upward motion of the upper platform during a rebound movement of the upper platform, where the upper piezoelectric pad produces a second voltage due to the rebound movement. The generator structure configured to provide the first and the second voltage to a coupled power storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20220318779
    Abstract: Techniques for securing peer-to-peer off-line transactions such as mobile device energy sharing through the use of broadcast encryption are provided. In one aspect, a method for securing transactions includes: encrypting the transactions in a digital wallet of a user in a digital network (e.g., a blockchain network) in a manner whereby the user can encrypt but cannot decrypt the transactions, and other users in the digital network can decrypt but cannot encrypt the transactions, thereby requiring the user to reveal all or none of the transactions in the digital wallet of the user since the user does not know which of the transactions is which, wherein one or more of the transactions are conducted off-line without users having a connection to the digital network.

  • Publication number: 20220265222
    Abstract: A computer system provides biometric-based distress detection and assistance. Biometric information that is associated with an entity and audio data associated with an environment of the entity are received. A distress score is calculated based on the biometric information. The audio data is analyzed to identify one or more distress factors. In response to determining that the distress score exceeds a distress threshold and in response to identifying the one or more distress factors, a notification that the entity requires aid is transmitted to a third party. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for providing biometric-based distress detection and assistance in substantially the same manner described above.
