Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for verifying the authenticity of physical objects by implementing an immutable chain of physical object provenance. The invention provides for verifying the provenance of a unique physical object such as a collectible by processing an image of the collectible and associating it with identification information of the user and geolocation information associated with the collectible, and storing that information in a datastore. The invention then provides for generating a segment mask by submitting the image and one or more prompts to a segmentation component, which will return a mask that can be used to match a subsequent purported image of the collectible to verify its authenticity. Any subsequent changes will likewise be stored on the blockchain to provide an immutable chain of provenance.

Abstract: An innovative language system and global/mobile network-based platforms for social networking and messaging is built on a vocabulary of symbols holding a universal meaning that transcends barriers of language and regional dialect through a complete system of cross-referencing and evolution. Individuals can contribute to the language and absorb new aspects of the language as it evolves globally. Furthermore, the symbol vocabulary is faster than standard text-based communications and is intended to communicate broader concepts with fewer keystrokes. The new language and communication system also presents opportunities for commercial benefit. As system use proliferates, commercial entities can sponsor their own symbols, collect real time symbol use data (whether geographically-based or not), and provide promotional benefits to consumers based on the use data.
