  • Publication number: 20230325896
    Abstract: A digital item interoperability system can be implemented across publisher, marketplace, inventory and environment entities, allowing digital items to be created by different creators, acquired from different listings, tracked outside a central system, and used in a variety of environments making up a metaverse. When a user acquires a digital item, it can be added to one of various inventory services and when the user enters an environment, the environment can define which of the user's digital items in the inventory that environment supports and bring the supported digital items into the environment. This allows a digital items life-cycle and usage to be independent of not just where it was made or acquired, but also from specific environments. A creator can create digital items, the digital items can be used with any number of environments, and the digital items can be listed with any number of marketplaces.

  • Patent number: 11294668
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for selection of an electronic system to perform a transaction requested from within software. Using technologies described herein, software can utilize different electronic systems to perform a transaction. For example, software may allow a user to acquire processing by a remote system, such as obtaining additional content or services from more than one electronic system. Instead of software being tied to a particular electronic system (e.g., the electronic system from which the software was acquired), the software can identify and provide options of different electronic systems for performing a transaction. A software provider can use a software developer kit and/or application programming interfaces provided by a service provider to incorporate functionality to identify and access the different electronic systems that are available for selection.

  • Publication number: 20210280185
    Abstract: Methods and systems for receiving shouted-out user responses to broadcast entertainment content, and for determining the responsiveness of those responses in relation to the broadcast content. In particular, entertainment broadcasts can be accompanied by mark-up data that represents various events within a given broadcast, which can be compared to the shouted-out responses to determine their accuracy. For example, if a game show was broadcast and an individual started shouting out answers during the broadcast, embodiments disclosed herein could utilize a voice-controlled electronic device that captures the shouted-out answers and passes them on to a language processing system that determines whether they are correct by comparing the answers to the mark-up data.
