Abstract: The following relates generally to implementing a medical data non-fungible token (NFT). In some embodiments, one or more processors receive medical data of a plurality of users, and store the medical data of the plurality of users in a first storage location in a medical data database. The one or more processors may then detect a request to purchase a data feed for one or more types of medical data, and identify medical data corresponding to the request in the medical data database. The one or more processors may then store the identified medical data in a second storage location, and mint a medical data NFT that indicates the second storage location.

Abstract: The following relates generally to creating a backup of data and/or settings of a smart device. In some embodiments, one or more processors receive the data and/or settings of the smart device. The one or more processors may then mint a non-fungible token (NFT) that references a link to a data storage area. The data storage area may store: (i) an identification of the smart device, and/or (ii) the received data and/or settings of the smart device. The following also relates generally to providing a warranty of an item. In some embodiments, one or more processors detect an indication of a sale. The one or more processors may then mint a warranty non-fungible token (NFT) that: (a) is owned by the owner of the item, (b) identifies the item, and (c) identifies warranty information of the item.

Abstract: The following relates generally to assisting with replacement of a physical item. In some embodiments, one or more processors: receive an indication of an insurance claim including an indication of a physical item to be replaced; determine a set of potential replacement items for the physical item to be replaced; retrieve virtual data of the set of potential replacement items; and present, in a virtual environment, the set of potential replacement items to a user.

Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for a non-fungible token (NFT). For example, an NFT may represent ownership of a digital asset, such as an image and/or video. However, NFTs are sometimes lost (e.g., due to hacking, data corruption, etc.), and it thus may be wise to purchase insurance for the NFT. As such, in some embodiments, one or more processors: receive a request to purchase insurance for an NFT; determine an insurance premium for the NFT; and send an insurance quote including the determined insurance premium.

Abstract: The following relates generally to updating an inventory of insured items. In some embodiments, one or more processors: identify a digital wallet of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) configured to store NFTs that correspond to insured items associated with an individual; detect a request to add a NFT corresponding to an insured item to the digital wallet; update the digital wallet to include the NFT; and display a virtual representation of the insured items of the NFTs of the digital wallet.

Abstract: The following relates generally to assisting with repair of a physical item. In some embodiments, one or more processors: receive an indication of an insurance claim including an indication of a physical item to be repaired; determine a set of potential repair options for the physical item to be repaired; build a virtual model of the physical item to be repaired; and present, in the virtual environment: (i) the set of potential repair options, (ii) the physical item to be repaired, and/or (iii) a repaired version of the physical item to be repaired.

Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for one or more virtual items in a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an insurance server receives a request for insurance for one or more virtual items from a customer. The insurance server then obtains information associated with the one or more virtual items from a virtual environment server, and determines an insurance premium based upon the received information. The following also relates generally to providing backups of virtual items. In some embodiments, a backup server creates backups of virtual items by writing data associated with the virtual item to a data store. The virtual items may be fungible or non-fungible. In some embodiments, the virtual items are periodically backed up.

Abstract: The following relates generally to providing a virtual insurance kiosk within a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an insurance server receives authentication credentials of a user device attempting to interact with the virtual insurance kiosk. The insurance server may authenticate the user device and establish a secure connection to the user device. The insurance server may then provide an insurance service to the user device. The following also relates generally to providing a secure virtual mall within a virtual environment. In some embodiments, a mall server receives authentication credentials from a user device and/or a vender server. The mall server may then authenticate the user to establish secure connection(s) to the user device and/or vender server. The mall server may process transactions between the user device and vender server, such as by underwriting insurance products related to the transactions.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for determining the three dimensional location of an acoustic event using a system of five or more sound sensing elements. The sensing elements are positioned at substantially the same elevation and in spatially distributed locations with respect to the acoustic event. The sensing elements generate notification signals indicating occurrence of the acoustic event. A central processor receives the notification signals, associates the locations of each of the sensing elements with the time at which each sensing element sensed the sound, determines the speed of sound for the medium, and calculates a three dimensional location for the acoustic event using a linear error minimization algorithm. A system of six or more sensing elements enables the processor further to discriminate between near simultaneous acoustic events.
