  • Patent number: 11194981
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a network computing device of a multi-part code system, interaction information from one or more of a first and a second computing device regarding an interaction between the first and second computing devices. The method further includes generating a first and second portion of a code that are unusable individually. Alignment of the first and second portions of the code optically produces the code representative of the interaction information. A network application of the one or more of the first and second computing devices is operable to capture the optically produced code. The method further includes sending the first and second portions of the code to one or more of the first and second computing devices. When the optically produced code has been captured, the method further includes finalizing, by an interaction finalization module of the network computing device, the interaction.

  • Publication number: 20210358041
    Abstract: A method includes determining, by a stake account manager, to distribute rewards to one or more stake accounts of a stake pool, obtaining privately stored stake account information of the one or more stake accounts and a rewards balance of the stake pool, calculating a reward amount of the rewards balance owed to each stake account of the one or more stake accounts based on the privately stored stake account information, and performing a batched and secure calculation technique on the calculated reward amounts to produce a batched and secure rewards distribution summary. The batched and secure rewards distribution summary ensures that each reward amount is calculated correctly and that the privately stored stake account information remains private. The method further includes publishing the batched and secure rewards distribution summary to the blockchain. The publishing the batched and secure rewards distribution summary deposits reward amounts to the each stake account.

  • Publication number: 20210350097
    Abstract: A first computing device of a multi-part code system includes one or more optical scanners and a network application associated with a network computing device of the multi-part code system. The network application is operable to obtain a second portion of a code associated with a second computing device. The network computing device generated the code for an interaction between the first and second computing device. The network application is further operable to display the second portion of the code on a display area of an interactive display, receive a first portion of the code, and instruct a user to drag the first portion of the code to the display area to align with the second portion of the code. When the first and second portions of the code are aligned, the network application produces the code and sends a finalized interaction notification to the network computing device.
