  • Publication number: 20240121477
    Abstract: A multi-variant content streaming system includes processing hardware and a system memory storing software code. The processing hardware is configured to execute the software code to stream primary content to a plurality of media players, and receive, from a first media player of the plurality of media players, first user interaction data of a first user interacting with the first media player with the primary content. The processing hardware is further configured to execute the software code to generate, using the first user interaction data, first variant content based on the primary content, and stream the first variant content to the first media player while continuing to stream the primary content to media players of the plurality of media players other than the first media player.

  • Publication number: 20230195855
    Abstract: According to one exemplary implementation, a system includes a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive, from a user device, a request for a non-fungible token (NFT) based on the presence of a user of the user device in a venue, receive sensor data identifying a location of the user device, and obtain camera data from the venue, the camera data depicting at least one of the user of the user device or a field of view of the user relative to the venue. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to mint the NFT, using the sensor data and the camera data, wherein the NFT depicts at least one of a portion of an object situated within the venue or an event occurring at the venue.

  • Publication number: 20230114235
    Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code, the software code is executed to receive an assembly message for a plurality of users including first and second users to assemble at a same physical or virtual location, confirm that the first and second users are present at the same physical or virtual location, verify that each of those users is an owner of a respective NFT related to the assembly message, and generate a smart contract governing minting of variant NFTs. The software is further executed to mint, based on the smart contract, a first variant NFT based on the NFT of the first user and a second variant NFT based on the NFT of the second user, and distribute the first or second variant NFTs to the first user and the other of the first or second variant NFTs to the second user.

  • Publication number: 20230107705
    Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to receive a request to track exercises of one or more right(s) associated with a digital asset p using a private key of an endorser of the digital asset, obtain the digital asset including an endorsement in the form of a cryptographically unique identifier referencing a public key corresponding to the private key and associated with a public persona of the endorser, and verify, using the public key, a present ownership of the digital asset. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to track each of the exercises of the right(s), and identify, based on a smart contract governing the exercise(s) of the right(s), a respective fee for each of the exercises of the right(s).
