Patent number: 11531981Abstract: Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a contract identifier in a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as services, the contract identifier uniquely identifies a particular digital contract offered by a vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the contract identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventor: Paul Snow

Patent number: 11477271Abstract: Hardware and software resources are load balanced when processing multiple blockchains. As more and more entities (whether public or private) are expected to generate their own blockchains for verification, a server or other resource in a blockchain environment may be over utilized. For example, as banks, websites, and retailers issue their own private cryptocoinage, the number of financial transactions may clog or hog networking and/or hardware resources. A blockchain load balancing mechanism thus allocates resources among the multiple blockchains.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2021Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventor: Paul Snow

Patent number: 11468510Abstract: Due diligence of mortgage documents is faster and simpler. An electronic mortgage application often contains or references a collection of many separate electronic mortgage documents. Electronic data representing an original version of an electronic mortgage document and its current version may be hashed to generate digital signatures. Any auditor may then quickly conduct the due diligence by comparing the digital signatures. If the digital signatures match, then the due diligence reveals that the electronic mortgage document has not changed since its creation. However, if the digital signatures do not match, then the electronic mortgage document has changed since its creation. The auditor may thus flag the electronic mortgage document for additional due diligence. Regardless, a result of the due diligence may be incorporated into one or more blockchains.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventors: Paul Snow, Brian Deery, Jason Nadeau, Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya

Patent number: 11444749Abstract: Blockchain environments may mix-and-match different encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes when mining blockchain transactions. Each encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work scheme may be separate, stand-alone programs, files, or third-party services. Blockchain miners may be agnostic to a particular coin's or network's encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes, thus allowing any blockchain miner to process or mine data in multiple blockchains. GPUs, ASICs, and other specialized processing hardware components may be deterred by forcing cache misses, cache latencies, and processor stalls. Hashing, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes require less programming code, consume less storage space/usage in bytes, and execute faster. Blockchain mining schemes may further randomize byte or memory block access, further improve cryptographic security.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventor: Paul Snow

Publication number: 20220284038Abstract: Importation and exportation allows software services in blockchain environments. Blockchains may import data and export data, thus allowing blockchains to offer software services to clients (such as other blockchains). Individual users, businesses, and governments may create their own blockchains and subcontract or outsource operations to other blockchains. Moreover, the software services provided by blockchains may be publically ledgered by still other blockchains, thus providing two-way blockchain interactions and two-way ledgering for improved record keeping.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Applicant: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventor: Paul Snow

Patent number: 11348098Abstract: Digital or “smart” contracts execute in a blockchain environment. Any entity (whether public or private) may specify a digital contract via a table identifier in a blockchain. Because there may be many digital contracts offered as virtual services, the table identifier uniquely identifies a particular decision table and/or the digital contract offered by a virtual machine, vendor or supplier. The blockchain is thus not burdened with the programming code that is required to execute the decision table and/or the digital contract. The blockchain need only include or specify the table identifier (and perhaps one or more contractual parameters), thus greatly simplifying the blockchain and reducing its size (in bytes) and processing requirements.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventor: Paul Snow

Patent number: 11328290Abstract: A two-coin mechanism for maintaining a stable value of cryptographic coinage traded in a decentralized market exchange without requiring a reserve. A pegged cryptographic token and a variable-priced cryptographic token are both traded in the reserveless decentralized market exchange. The pegged cryptographic token and the variable-priced cryptographic token are value related based on a cryptographic exchange rate. Whenever a market transaction is processed (such as a buy or sell order), at least one of a destruction operation and a creation operation are performed. The destruction operation destroys at least one of the pegged cryptographic token and/or the variable-priced cryptographic token, while the creation operation creates new ones of the pegged cryptographic token and/or the variable-priced cryptographic token.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventors: Paul Snow, Brian Deery, Gavin Gillas

Patent number: 11296889Abstract: Confidential, secret data may be shared via one or more blockchains. Mortgage applications, medical records, financial records, and other electronic documents often contain social security numbers, names, addresses, account information, and other personal data. A secret sharing algorithm is applied to any secret data to generate shares. The shares may then be integrated or written to one or more blockchains for distribution.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Inveniam Capital Partners, Inc.Inventors: Paul Snow, Brian Deery, Mahesh Paolini-Subramanya
