Publication number: 20230376938Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for minting, aging, storing, grading, and trading NFT-based trading cards in a way that mimics that of “real” tangible trading cards. Embodiments of the solution may comprise generation of an NFT-based trading card asset by minting a nonfungible token (NFT) representative of an initial digital content operable to be visually displayed on a computing device. The minted NFT-based trading card asset is recorded on a blockchain and comprises a smart contract that includes a degradation algorithm, the degradation algorithm operable when executed to modify the initial digital content into a derivative digital content.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: James Tyler Frix, Matthew Taylor Hoots, Richard Rivera, Justin Williams

Publication number: 20230289668Abstract: A system and method for using fractional ticketing manages access and attendance at an event hosted by the host platform or entity behind an NFT-based community. An NFT-based fractional ticketing system and method according to the solution may leverage the ability of an NFT-based community platform to airdrop NFT-based assets to members of its community. In an exemplary embodiment, every member of an NFT-based community may be airdropped a voucher or coupon associated with a limited attendance event organized by the community platform. The event may be live in nature (like a tailgate party before a college football game) or virtual in nature (such as an online symposium featuring a famous keynote speaker). The coupons may each be in the form of an NFT and, as such, uniquely identifiable with the NFT-based community and the event it organized and the digital wallet to which it was dropped.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: James Tyler Frix, Jonathan Wallace

Patent number: 10869164Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and verifying athlete attendance in a classroom is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment defines a GPS-based fence in association with a classroom as well as defines a class start time and a class end time. GPS coordinates associated with a portable computing device (“PCD”) associated with a given athlete are received and determined to be within a range of coordinates associated with the fence. Also, a time associated with the receiving of the GPS coordinates is determined to be within a window of time comprising the class start time. Subsequently, a picture of a user is captured with a camera of the PCD. Next, from the picture the user is verified to be the given athlete. Finally, the given athlete is marked as “present” within the class.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Inventor: James Tyler Frix

Patent number: 9717464Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for continuous transdermal monitoring (“CTM”) are disclosed. One exemplary method for CTM begins by monitoring an output signal from an accelerometer. The accelerometer output signal may indicate acceleration and deceleration of a body part of a user, such as the user's wrist. Based on the accelerometer output signal, it may be determined that the body part of the user has decelerated to a minimum, e.g., substantially zero. With a determination that the body part has decelerated to the minimum, e.g., substantially zero, or has not accelerated beyond the minimum, e.g., substantially zero, the method may determine a reading from a pulse oximeter associated with the accelerometer. Advantageously, the pulse oximetry reading, or a reading from other sensors associated with the accelerometer, may be optimally accurate as motion artifact may be minimized. The pulse oximetry reading may be recorded for later query and/or rendered for the benefit of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Inventors: James Tyler Frix, Andrew Johnson, James Mitchell Frix, Robert Andrew Taylor

Patent number: 9717448Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for continuous transdermal monitoring (“CTM”) are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment of a continuous transdermal monitoring system comprises a sensor package. The sensor package may include a pulse oximetry sensor having a plurality of light detectors arranged as an array. One exemplary method for continuous transdermal monitoring begins by positioning a pulse oximetry sensor system, similar to the system described immediately above, adjacent to a target tissue segment. Then, the method continues by detecting a light reflected by the target tissue segment. Then, the method continues by transmitting a pulse oximetry reading(s), based at least in part on the light reflected by the target tissue segment, of the target tissue segment. Then, the method continues by analyzing the pulse oximetry reading(s).Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Inventors: James Tyler Frix, Andrew Johnson, James Mitchell Frix, Robert Andrew Taylor
