  • Patent number: 12259951
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for token device transfer management. A system identifies, in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger, a token corresponding to media content. A parameter of the token in the distributed ledger indicates that the token is associated with a first user. The system identifies a device that is associated with the token and the media content. The device is also associated with the first user. The system identifies that the device has been relocated to an area associated with a second user. In response to identifying that the device has been relocated to the area, the system causes the parameter of the token in the distributed ledger to be modified from indicating that the token is associated with the first user to indicating that the token is associated with the second user.

  • Publication number: 20250045091
    Abstract: A multi-core processing system, such as a system-on-chip (SOC), is configured to use interrupts when sending processed data from a source processing core to a destination processing core. The source processing core may delay sending interrupts, but still keep processing data, when an acknowledgment for a previous interrupt is not received from an inter-processor communication controller. When the acknowledgment is received, the source processing core may resume sending an interrupt for the next chunk of data processed. As such, not all chunks of data may have associated interrupts.
