  • Publication number: 20240022409
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for virtual accessories during virtual meetings are provided herein. The system may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium; a communications interface; and a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and the communications interface. The processor may be configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to: receive, from a first client device, a request to use a virtual accessory during a virtual meeting; determine a NFT associated with the virtual accessory; determine, based on the NFT, whether the first client device is authorized to use the virtual accessory; and transmit, to the first client device, a response based on whether the first client device is authorized to use the virtual accessory.

  • Publication number: 20240022408
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for virtual accessories during virtual meetings are provided. For example, a system may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium; a communications interface; and a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium and the communications interface. The processor may be configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to: receive, from a first client device, a request to register a virtual accessory; determine a NFT associated with the virtual accessory; register the NFT and the virtual accessory within a NFT registry; and transmit the NFT associated with the virtual accessory to the first client device.

  • Publication number: 20230419966
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing voice transcription feedback for virtual meetings are provided herein. In an example, a system may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a communications interface, and a processor. The processor may execute instructions to establish a virtual meeting having a plurality of participants, each participant of the plurality of participants exchanging one or more audio streams via the virtual meeting and to generate a transcript of at least a subset of the one or more audio streams exchanged during the virtual meeting using a speech recognition system. The processor may also execute instructions to transmit, to a first client device, one or more segments of the transcript, and receive, from the first client device, a correction to one or more transcribed words within the one or more segments of the transcript.

  • Publication number: 20130275330
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for assigning a risk profile to a guarantee product and charging associated fees. Risk profiles are established, each based on a risk level. A first risk profile is assigned to the guarantee product based on an initial allocation of assets in a linked investment account. A periodic determination is made as to whether the guarantee product is in compliance with the first risk profile due to initial asset allocation changes, including determining whether the asset allocation satisfies the risk level of the first risk profile. A second risk profile is assigned whenever the guarantee product is no longer in compliance with the first risk profile based on the current allocation of assets.

  • Publication number: 20130275332
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for charging of fees associated with a guarantee product. A computing device calculates a fee associated with the guarantee product, wherein the guarantee product is linked to a first investment account. The computing device deducts the calculated fee from a second account if deduction of the fee from the second account can be completed. The computing device deducts the calculated fee from the first investment account if deduction from the second account cannot be completed, and a guarantee associated with the guarantee product is adjusted based on deduction of the calculated fee from the first investment account.
