Abstract: Methods and apparatus for safely and securely initiating communications about an item in a physical environment that is linked to a virtual item associated with e non-fungible token (NFT) in a virtual world. A unique identifier is linked to the NFT in the virtual world and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon in a tag in the physical world. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to utilizing a BLE-enabled tag as an indication of availability and, based on a user's proximity to the BLE tag, as a means for a second party to show interest in acquiring the NFT and the physical item without requiring an exchange of personal information.

Abstract: A method and system for automated dispute resolution is disclosed. The method and system are used in testing non-equal values in normal rounds for satisfaction of a condition. If the condition is not satisfied in the normal rounds, power round values are tested for satisfaction of a power round condition. If the power round condition is satisfied, a binding settlement payment is calculated. The awardee of the settlement payment is offered a plurality of disbursement options for the settlement payment which he or she may choose from. Additional options involve an automated facilitator, windfalls to initiators, automatic payment initiation, multiparty aggregation and automatic settlement document generation.

Abstract: A method and system for automated bargaining is disclosed. The method and system are used in testing non-equal values in normal rounds for satisfaction of a condition. If the condition is not satisfied in the normal rounds, power round values are tested for satisfaction of a power round condition. If the power round condition is satisfied, a binding bargained payment is calculated. Additional options involve an automated facilitator, windfalls to initiators, automatic payment initiation, multiparty aggregation and automatic agreement document generation.

Abstract: A method and system for automated bargaining in a round by round manner is disclosed. The method and system are capable of multiple rounds. The method and system are used in testing non-equal values in normal rounds for satisfaction of a predetermined criterion. If the criterion is not satisfied in the normal rounds, power round values are tested for satisfaction of a power round criterion. If the power round criterion is satisfied, a binding bargained payment is calculated. Additional options involve an automated facilitator, windfalls to initiators, automatic payment initiation, multiparty aggregation and automatic agreement document generation.

Abstract: An automated method capable of multiple rounds for settling a dispute among adverse parties which dispute involves monetary values is described together with an automated system for carrying out such method.

Abstract: A computer executable system and method for dispute resolution which includes the ability to resolve claims between or among multiple parties.

Abstract: A method and system for automated bargaining by testing non-equal values in rounds for satisfaction of a condition. If the condition is not satisfied in the normal rounds, power round values may be tested for satisfaction of a power round condition. If, in any round, the condition is satisfied, a binding bargained payment is calculated.

Abstract: An automated dispute resolution administration method involves checking an authorization for a request for access to an automated dispute resolution system made using a sponsor login area. A letter is automatically generated to a party to a dispute in response to a sponsor entering a case into an automated dispute resolution system. A person, adverse to the sponsor with respect to the case, is authorized to access the automated dispute resolution system. Tracking information is written onto a hard drive associated with at least one of the party or the sponsor; and a report is generated identifying open cases for the sponsor.

Abstract: A computerized system for automated dispute resolution through an Intranet website via the Internet or other communications linkage for communicating and processing a series of demands to satisfy a claim made by or on behalf of a claimant or other person involved in a dispute with at least one other person, such as a defendant, his or her insurer, or other sponsor, and a series of offers to settle the claim through at least one central processing unit including operation system software for controlling the central processing unit is disclosed. Preferably the system also allows for the collection, processing and dissemination of settlement data generated from the settlement through the operation of the system for use by sponsors and claimants in establishing the settlement value of future cases. Also disclosed is a method for communicating and processing a series of demands and a series of offers through the system.
