Patent number: 11977530Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods of managing the lifecycle of a digital token are described. In an example, while the digital token is being generated, the digital token or the underlying digital asset can be compared to other digital tokens and/or digital assets to determine similarity thereto. Based on the similarity, a program code interface (e.g., smart contract, an application programming interface—API, RPC, etc.) can be determined and an API call can be made to execute a program code. The execution can indicate whether the digital token creation process can be completed. If so, the digital token is recorded. Thereafter, its use or the use of the underlying digital asset can be monitored, whereby this monitoring can apply similarity processing. If a use thereof is determined or if a use of a similar digital token or similar digital asset is determined, notifications can be generated and sent.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Nant Holdings IPInventors: Patrick Soon-Shiong, John Wiacek, Nicholas J.

Patent number: 11951391Abstract: One exemplary aspect relates to normalizing latency in a networking environment to reduce the chances of creating an unfair advantage. While an exemplary aspect will be discussed in relation to a gaming environment, it is to be appreciated that the techniques disclosed herein can be applied to other environments where latency normalization or the ability to maintain latency between various endpoints is desired. For example, other environments include eSporting, on-line betting, fantasy esports, streaming services, etc. Some more specific examples include World of Warcraft®, Overwatch®, H1Z1®, PUBG®, Fortnite®, Realm Royale®, Planet Side 2®, real-time strategy games, slot machines, electronic poker tournaments, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Patrick Soon-Shiong, John Wiacek, Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20240087753Abstract: A sensor-based leading indicator management ecosystem is described. Sensor data associated with the individual, possibly within a Personal Area Network (PAN) and related to the healthcare of the individual, is compiled and converted to a one or more sets of leading indicators with respect to one or more possible future healthcare actions. Leading indicators may then be compiled into one or more condition state vectors that represent encoded inputs into one or more trained action prediction agents. The trained action prediction agents then generate, possibly in real-time or based on time-series data, predicted actions that may be required at a predicted point-of-care or a moment-of-care. Further, action prediction agents may be context or domain specific.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Patrick Soon-Shiong, Nicholas J.

Patent number: 11928785Abstract: Techniques (e.g., systems, apparatus, methods) for context-based management of tokens are described. In an example, a geographical location of a device is used as one possible context. This location can correspond to a physical location associated with an AR virtual object container. This container can be associated with a set of virtual object container information applicable to the context, such as to the device's location. Based on separately maintained virtual object information, virtual objects to be shown as being available from the container are determined. Each of such virtual objects can be associated with a set of tokens. In an AR session, the container and the virtual objects are presented. An interaction with the container or a virtual object can result in associating a relevant set of tokens with a user account by recording information about the container, the virtual object, the user account, and/or the context(s).Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Nant Holdings IP, LLCInventors: Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20240062587Abstract: An activity recognition system is disclosed. A plurality of temporal features is generated from a digital representation of an observed activity using a feature detection algorithm. An observed activity graph comprising one or more clusters of temporal features generated from the digital representation is established, wherein each one of the one or more clusters of temporal features defines a node of the observed activity graph. At least one contextually relevant scoring technique is selected from similarity scoring techniques for known activity graphs, the at least one contextually relevant scoring technique being associated with activity ingestion metadata that satisfies device context criteria defined based on device contextual attributes of the digital representation, and a similarity activity score is calculated for the observed activity graph as a function of the at least one contextually relevant scoring technique, the similarity activity score being relative to at least one known activity graph.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Nant Holding IP, LLCInventors: Kamil Wnuk, Nicholas J.
