20210326853 | TOKENIZATION PLATFORM - In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for maintaining a plurality of public addresses, and a plurality of virtual representations of a plurality of respective items. For each virtual representation, a set of digital tokens may respectively correspond to an item represented by the virtual representation, and each digital token may be cryptographically linked with the corresponding virtual representation. Owners of a token may request redemption of the digital token and have ownership information and fulfillment details verified. Fulfillment details may be provided to a fulfillment system that satisfies transactions for items. | 2021-10-21 |
20210326854 | TOKENIZATION PLATFORM - In embodiments of the disclosure a method is disclosed for exchanging digital tokens from a message-based application is disclosed. The method includes displaying, by a digital wallet GUI, an inventory of tokens that are owned by a user. Each token is linked to a virtual representation of an item and redeemable for an instance of the item. The method also includes receiving an instruction to transfer a digital token from the inventory of tokens to a recipient and displaying a keyboard that includes a selectable media content that represents the item linked to the token. The method also includes receiving a selection of the media content and embedding a token identifier of the token in a text-based message that is sent to the recipient, such that the recipient can select the selectable media content to accept to the digital token into a respective digital wallet of the recipient. | 2021-10-21 |
20210326855 | TOKENIZATION PLATFORM - In embodiments of the present invention, systems are provided for an interface configured to handle a unique identifier for a first digital token, a cryptographic token generation system that generates a second digital token that is unique and cryptographically secure, and a linking system configured to generate a one-to-at-least-one link between the second digital token generated by the cryptographic token generation system and the first digital token, such that the second digital token provides a unique digital tokenization of the first digital token. In embodiments, a rule system is configured to manage and apply a set of rules to the second digital token, wherein the set of rules includes a lock rule that restricts one or more transaction actions involving the second digital token and an unlock rule that removes the restriction of the one or more transaction actions involving the second digital token. | 2021-10-21 |
20210326856 | TOKENIZATION PLATFORM - In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for maintaining a plurality of public addresses and a plurality of virtual representations and digital tokens of a plurality of items where each digital token is cryptographically linked to a respective instance of the item represented by the virtual representation. A request may be received to participate in a transaction for an item represented by a specific virtual representation and a transfer request received to transfer the specific digital token to a different user, where the transfer request includes a digital-token identifier that identifies the specific digital token and a public address of the different user, and a token validation and redemption process is completed. | 2021-10-21 |
20210326857 | TOKENIZATION PLATFORM - In embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for executing a smart contract that facilitates electronic transfer of non-fungible tokens to a user according to a recipe. Each respective non-fungible token may be cryptographically linked with a digital representation of a respective asset that can be won by the user. A recipe may define a respective probability that the respective non-fungible token is awarded to the user and a manner by which the respective non-fungible token is awarded to the user. A smart contract may be generated using a random number and one of the non-fungible tokens selected based on the random number and the recipe and transferred to a digital wallet of the user. | 2021-10-21 |
20210326858 | POST-PROVISIONING AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS - More effective authentication protocols for provisioning electronic devices are provided. An approval signal responsive to a provisioning request may be transmitted in real-time, such as under four seconds in certain embodiments. An authentication score for the provisioning request may be calculated even after transmitting the approval signal. In certain embodiments, information gathered from the successful provisioning of a device can be used in the authentication scoring process. Authentication scores deemed to fall below a requisite threshold may be used to suspend the provisioned device, therefore, limit the ability for the device to utilize the account, however, without withdrawing the approval or granted digital token. Certain implementations may negate the need to transmit further approvals or confirmations following determining an authentication score met a threshold. | 2021-10-21 |
20210326859 | DATA RECORDING METHODS AND APPARATUSES, ELECTRONIC DEVICES, AND STORAGE MEDIA - Examples in this application disclose data recording methods, media, and systems. One example method includes receiving an access request for target data from a data user, obtaining the target data from a data owner, generating a blockchain transaction based on the target data, transmitting the blockchain transaction to a blockchain node, where the blockchain node performs a transaction consensus with remaining blockchain nodes, stores the blockchain transaction in the blockchain upon the transaction consensus is reached, and generates index information for the blockchain transaction when the data user is determined to have an access permission to the target data, receiving the index information from the blockchain node, where the index information is used to generate a request transaction to obtain the blockchain transaction or the target data from the blockchain, and sending the target data or the index information to the data user. | 2021-10-21 |
