Abstract: A method for implementing an arbiter module includes cryptographically binding a true identity for a particular real-world individual to an arbiter module and cryptographically binding one or more real-world entities to the arbiter module. The one or more real-world entities store third party information associated with the particular real-world individual. The method also includes cryptographically communicating one or more data packages, which include the third-party information, from the one or more real-world entities to the arbiter module. The method also includes cryptographically binding one or more metaidentities to the arbiter module such that the third-party information associated with the particular real-world individual is at least partially attributable to the one or more metaidentities via the arbiter module for facilitating one or more metaverse actions within the one or more metaverses without revealing the true identity that is bound to the arbiter module.

Abstract: A system for implementing and managing network-based, variable authentication protocols receives information relating to a digital monetary transaction. Additionally, the system accesses an initial authentication protocol dataset. The system also generates a variable authentication protocol dataset. The system then communicates the variable authentication protocol dataset to the point-of-sale computer system. The system also receives, from the point-of-sale computer system, authentication tokens. Further, the system validates the authentication tokens in view of the variable authentication protocol dataset. Further still, in response to the validation of the authentication tokens, the system processes the digital monetary transaction.

Abstract: A computer system for accessing a decentralized user controlled social media platform receives, from an user computing device, a user authentication token for the decentralized user controlled social media platform. The computer system determines that the user authentication token is valid for access to a user account at the decentralized user controlled social media platform. Additionally, the computer system requests, through a network connection, content from a plurality of remote servers. Each of the plurality of remote servers requires a unique remote server authentication token to access a portion of the content stored at the respective remote server. Further, the computer system communicates, to the user computing device, the content received from the plurality of remote servers.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to providing remote healthcare services including remote diagnostics, and facilitating third-party healthcare payments. In one embodiment, a computer system receives an input including authentication credentials from a healthcare entity, and also requests assistance from another healthcare entity. The computer system authenticates the first healthcare entity using the authentication credentials, receives an input including authentication credentials from the other healthcare entity, and authenticates the other healthcare entity using these authentication credentials. The computer system further receives real-time information related to a health condition of a patient, where the real-time health condition information is provided to the second healthcare entity.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to performing a transaction using a third party mobile wallet, performing a transaction using a third party point of sale (POS) system and to making a purchase from a third party mobile wallet provided by a third party mobile wallet provider. In one scenario, a cloud-based transaction platform is provided, which receives communication from an agent terminal over a communication channel connected to the cloud-based transaction platform. The agent communication indicates that a customer desires to perform a mobile wallet transaction using their third party mobile wallet.

Abstract: Improved techniques for adapting the look, feel, and/or behavior of a mobile application based on user attributes, location, and/or environment in which it is used are described herein. A triggering condition is determined to be satisfied between a hand-held device and a beacon. Based on the triggering condition being satisfied, one or more application settings are applied to an adaptive application, where these settings are associated with the beacon. Additionally, in response to fetching or acquiring an application skin that is associated with the beacon, the application skin is also applied to the adaptive application.

Abstract: A system and method for adapting the look, feel, and behavior of a mobile application based on the user, location or environment in which it is used.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for securely messaging healthcare entities. In one scenario, a computer system receives an input from a user indicating that a message including text or other characters is to be securely transmitted to a specified healthcare entity. The message is part of a conversation between a user and the specified healthcare entity. The computer system encrypts the characters of the message using at least one encryption algorithm, so that the message is encrypted during the transfer from the user to the specified healthcare entity. The computer system then initiates transmission of the encrypted message such that the encrypted message is sent to the specified healthcare entity. Throughout the process, the encrypted message is transferred in accordance with legal regulations governing healthcare communications.

Abstract: Method for tracking a user's gaze within a virtual-reality environment comprises generating a user coordinate system within a virtual space. The user coordinate system is associated with a virtual sphere surrounding a location of a camera within the virtual space. The method also includes generating a hotspot within the virtual space. The hotspot comprises a hotspot coordinate associated with a virtual object and a pre-defined threshold of space surrounding the virtual object. Additionally, the method includes accessing view information, received from one or more sensors integrated within an end user virtual-reality hardware device. The view information relates to the direction of the user's gaze within the real-world. Further, the method includes mapping the view information to the user coordinate system. Further still, the method includes determining, based upon the mapping, whether the user's gaze intersected with the hotspot.

Abstract: A computer system is provided which determines that a mobile device associated with an identified customer is within a seller's store. The computer system further receives transaction information from a mobile wallet application associated with the customer which includes an indication of items that are to be purchased, an indication of the amount that is to be paid, and an indication that payment is to be made from a stored value account (SVA) associated with the customer. The computer system determines, based on the customer's identity, current location, and the received transaction information, that the customer has approved the transaction, processes the transaction using the customer's SVA, provides a credit to the seller in the amount debited from the customer's SVA and generates an electronic receipt for the customer, notifying the customer that the seller has received the specified amount of money from the customer's SVA.
