Publication number: 20240095720Abstract: Automatic token wallet generation includes generating a token wallet generated for a unique identifier that is associated with a person. The unique identifier may be a communication identifier like an email address, a telephone number, a social media handle, and so on. Storage space may be allocated for the token wallet and may be associated with the unique identifier. One or more NFTs (non-fungible tokens) may then be associated with the token wallet. In some examples, the token wallet may be automatically created in response to a request to associate an NFT with it. In other examples, the token wallet may be created in response to a request to perform other actions related to the token wallet.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey Binder, Charles Hasek, Lindsay Gardner

Publication number: 20240070662Abstract: A non-fungible token (“NFT”) document platform includes a host platform that is operable to create and/or perform one or more transactions related to one or more NFTs on behalf of and/or for one or more other entities. Creation of the NFTs may involve creation of one or more smart contracts, storage of the smart contracts and/or the NFTs in one or more blockchains, and so on. The NFT document platform may also be operable to mint one or more documents, such as one or more birth certificates, contracts and other signed documents, titles, prescriptions, licenses and/or identification documents, checks, money, gift cards, and so on. The smart contracts and/or NFTs may correspond to the one or more minted documents. The NFTs may be usable to authenticate the minted documents, evidence ownership of the minted documents, control the ability to perform transactions regarding the minted documents, and so on.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey Binder, Charles Hasek, Lindsay Gardner

Publication number: 20240020355Abstract: A system uses one or more non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for authentication. An NFT and an associated smart contract may be generated and stored on a blockchain for authority that is to be delegated to a delegate on behalf of a delegator. The NFT may then be provided to the delegate, who may use the NFT to authenticate himself in order to act on the delegated authority. Subsequently, the NFT may be transferred, revoked, marked expired, and/or otherwise controlled by the delegator in order to control the authority delegated to the delegate.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey Binder, Charles Hasek, Lindsay Gardner

Patent number: 11489923Abstract: A storage controller of a network controlled content recording system that uses a combination of network and local storage determines to record content for a user. The storage controller performs an evaluation to determine whether to store the content in network or local storage. The evaluation may include evaluating a set of rules and/or characteristics of the user, characteristics of the content, characteristics of a request to record the content, and so on. The storage controller then arranges for the content to be recorded accordingly. Subsequently, the storage controller may reevaluate storage locations and direct transfer accordingly. This reevaluation may include determining that various characteristics related to the user, the content, and so on have changed and that transfer is appropriate due to that change.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.Inventors: Charles A.

Patent number: 11356839Abstract: A system for location verification and enforcement receives an authorization request to access content from a content access device. The authorization request includes and/or is associated with location information obtained from a gateway device via a local area network and determined using multiple communication networks. The location information is compared to a record indicating that the content access device and the gateway device were both present at a location. When the location information matches the record, an authorization is transmitted to the content access device. The content access device may be operative to access the content upon receiving the authorization.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.Inventors: Chris A.

Patent number: 11209958Abstract: A content access device ranks content that is available to be accessed based at least on previous user content selection behavior information compared to a current situation. The content access device generates and presents a content access (or navigation) menu that indicates content selected based on the ranking. The menu may include a primary menu element that corresponds to and presents a highest ranked of the content, a secondary menu element that corresponds to and presents still images of a secondary ranked group of the content that are all smaller than the primary menu element, and a tertiary menu element that corresponds to and presents text descriptions of a tertiary ranked group of the content that are all smaller than the still images.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Binder, David M.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF EVALUATING A SUBJECT PROPERTY WITH OTHER REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES LISTED FOR SALE
Publication number: 20200193536Abstract: A system and method to evaluate a subject property. The system and method include filtering comparison properties in a search pool of properties listed for sale using filtering criteria including at least one search feature. The search features are attributes associated with the subject property. The search features have an attribute value associated with each of the comparison properties. An average attribute value associated with the search features for the comparison property is calculated. A difference between the average attribute value of the comparison properties and an attribute value of the attribute associated with the subject property is calculated to evaluate the subject properties value with other comparison properties on the market.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2018Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventor: Neil Jeffrey Binder -
