  • Patent number: 12647408
    Abstract: A digital content contribution verification system in a decentralized network is described. In an implementation, digital content is obtained and a plurality of portions are located from the digital content. A decentralized identifier and verifiable credential are identified as associated with a respective portion of the plurality of portions. The decentralized identifier is resolvable to a respective node from a decentralized network of nodes individually configured to store, receive, and transmit data. Representations are displayed of the decentralized identifiers indicative of a respective entity and corresponding verifiable credentials validating a relationship of the respective entity with the respective portion.

  • Publication number: 20250126311
    Abstract: A recommendation system is described, which is configured to generate and output a recommendation for an artist, an artist's authorized agent, or combinations thereof, regarding an action to perform for increasing consumption of media content items associated with the artist. In implementations, consumption of one or more media content items associated with an artist is monitored. Based on the monitored consumption, the artist is assigned to an artist segment. Recommendations are then generated for the artist based on artist data for the artist as well as historical data associated with different artists that are included in the same artist segment or that were previously associated with the same artist segment. A user interface is generated to display information describing data associated with the artist and present controls that are selectable to initiate performance of a recommended action.
