  • Publication number: 20230196342
    Abstract: One or more smart contracts on a ledger (e.g., a public blockchain) may work in tandem, for example, to associate non-fungible tokens on multiple (e.g., two or more) different ledgers to be represented simultaneously and/or sequentially on the multiple ledgers utilizing an intermediary tokenization representation on the one or more smart contracts. A smart contract, of feature of a smart contract, may be utilized to verify the association on each individual ledger using features of those individual ledgers.

  • Publication number: 20220383303
    Abstract: A non-fungible token (NFT) multiple ledger processing environment is provided in which a public processing platform providing a public ledger for processing functions (e.g., ownership transactions) associated with the NFT provides entities identifiable on the public processing platform with an ownership transaction function to a public processing platform identity with a private processing platform providing a private ledger. The NFT includes data structures for such private ledgers to include private ledger data in the pubic NFT so that private transactions in the private ledger may be completed and recorded in the multiple-ledger NFT. The multiple-ledger NFT may then be, for example, transacted back to an entity identifiable on the public processing platform (e.g., ownership change) and the public ledger may continue to be utilized.

  • Patent number: 11418483
    Abstract: A user is provided with a GUI that may allow the user to change functionality associated with a non-battery-powered card, a battery-powered card, a payment sticker, or another device (e.g., a mobile telephonic device). Such functionality may cause a network entity to deliver transaction details to a processing facility. The processing facility may be implemented with processing zones for scrubbing personal information from the transaction details and providing sanitized information to third party applications that may utilize the sanitized information for value. Third-party applications may interact with the processing facility via zone-based APIs to promote third-party software development within the processing facility and to promote third-party communications with the processing facility. Each of the processing zones may enforce security contexts such that processing zones of equal security contexts may communicate with other, while processing zones of unequal security contexts may not.

  • Patent number: 11126997
    Abstract: A user is provided with a GUI that may allow the user to change functionality associated with a non-powered card, a powered card or other device (e.g., a mobile telephonic device). The functionality associated with the device may be displayed by the GUI as a list of third-party applications that may be executed when the user's card or other device is used to complete a purchase transaction. The GUI allows the user to purchase/redeem goods and/or services from a third-party vendor after the purchase transaction is completed or may allow the goods and/or services to be purchased/redeemed without first requiring a purchase transaction. A fulfillment system hosted by a remote facility administers the goods/services delivery by tracking user information, mailing information, and delivery status tracking information.

  • Publication number: 20180165704
    Abstract: A system comprising a rewards database operable to maintain records on a user's accumulated rewards points; and a rewards server operable to receive transaction information from a payment network, calculate an rewards point count associated with the transaction, and reduce the user's accumulated rewards points by the rewards point count; and communicate a credit associated with the transaction information to the payment network.

  • Patent number: 9734669
    Abstract: A user is provided with a GUI that may allow the user to change functionality associated with a non-battery-powered card, a battery-powered card, a payment sticker, or another device (e.g., a mobile telephonic device). The GUI may be provided by a website so that a user views the GUI from a web-browser. At any time, for example, a user may change additional functionality performed at a point-of-sale purchase. A user may change the additional functionality for a card or a button of a card. A user may switch to associate a game of chance or skill to the purchase.
