  • Patent number: 12283290
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable storage-medium embodiments for implementing template-based excerpting and rendering of multimedia performances technologies. An embodiment includes at least one computer processor configured to retrieve a first content instance and applying a template that results in transforming the first content instance. The first content instance may include a plurality of structural elements. The first content instance may be transformed by a rendering engine running on the at least one computer processor and/or transmitted to a content-playback device. An embodiment of transforming the first content instance includes trimming the content instance based on requirements provided by social media platforms.

  • Publication number: 20240214194
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to facilitate content access within an NFT platform are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for verifying user identity. The method associates a biometric identifier of a user with: a token; and a cryptographic key, wherein the cryptographic key is associated with a set of access rights to the token. The method obtains, from a sensor, biometric data, wherein the biometric data corresponds to the user. The method verifies whether the biometric data matches the biometric identifier. When the biometric data matches the biometric identifier beyond a pre-determined threshold: the method obtains access to at least part of the cryptographic key; and accesses the token. Access is performed: using the cryptographic key, and according to the set of access rights.

  • Publication number: 20230230066
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a device can be configured to securely implement a wallet capable of displaying data based on a configuration file retrieved from a cloud storage using a seed. In an embodiment, the device can include a display; a network interface; memory; and a processor. The processor can be configured to: obtain a seed value; generate a path value based on the seed value; access a cloud storage location based on the path value; and receive a configuration file from the cloud storage location. The configuration file includes a configuration value. The processor further configured to display a user interface configuration based on the configuration value.

  • Patent number: 11651353
    Abstract: A plurality of computer-based transactions facilitated by each of a plurality of custodians are monitored. A first transaction of the plurality of transactions includes a transfer of an amount of cryptocurrency of a first type by a first counterparty to a second counterparty in exchange for an amount of cryptocurrency of a second, different type. Transaction packages are generated by each counterparty which include requisite information to effect the transfer. A settlement coordinator asynchronously receives (via a computing network) the transaction packages which specify information required to (i) transfer the cryptocurrency of the first type from the first counterparty to the second counterparty on a first blockchain and (ii) transfer the cryptocurrency of the second type from the second counterparty to the first counterparty on a second blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20230117399
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for license management within an NFT platform are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for assessing content similarity including: receiving a record associated with a first content element, wherein the first content element has an exclusion distance; generating a second content description from the second content element, deriving a comparison distance between the first quantifier and the second quantifier; and when the comparison distance exceeds the exclusion distance, taking a remedial action for infringement.

  • Patent number: 10586366
    Abstract: A system and method for recursively rendering, caching, and/or retrieving a display object bitmap is provided. In some implementations, an image may be rendered on a client computing platform using an image list of one or more bitmap objects. The one or more object bitmaps may be generated in response to obtaining information defining a vector image in an image frame in an animation. An image list may be maintained for an image to be rendered based on the vector image of a frame of animation and/or some or all of the frames in the animation. The image list may store one or more references to one or more respective bitmap objects that are associated with the image to be rendered.
