Abstract

The invention relates to adaptation/alteration of a digital file referenced to a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) via NFT metadata-defined adaptation rules and criteria, i.e., predefined conditions or events that trigger the occurrence of digital file adaptation. The adapted digital file may be presented to indicate a change in a state associated with a specific type of NFT. The NFT may be an authentication NFT used to verify the identity of a user/users, and the digital file may be presented within computing networks or applications for conveying user authenticity to other users within the computing network or application. The predefined conditions are security events that have a positive/negative impact on the authenticity of the user or group of users. Occurrence of one or more of the predefined security events triggers adaptation and presentation of the adapted digital file indicating an increase/decrease in the level of authenticity associated with the user/users.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A system for adapting a digital file used to generate a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), the system comprising:

a first computing platform including a first memory and one or more first processing devices in communication with the first memory, wherein the first memory stores an NFT generator defined as an event NFT generator, which includes one or more cryptographic NFT-generating algorithms, is executable by at least one of the one or more first processing devices and configured to cause the at least one first processing device to:
receive (1) a digital file comprising at least one chosen from the group consisting of (i) image content, (ii) audio content, and (iii) video content, (2) NFT adaptation criteria comprising a plurality of predetermined conditions that are points in time of an associated event or an occurrence of a sub-event within the associated event, and (3) NFT adaptation rules based on the plurality of predetermined conditions, wherein the adapted digital file provides for identifying a progress or current state of the associated event;
generate (i) a NFT using the digital file as input to the one or more cryptographic NFT-generating algorithms and (ii) metadata comprising the NFT adaptation criteria and NFT adaptation rules;
and
communicate (i) the NFT to a distributed trust computing network for on-chain storage within a distributed ledger and (ii) the digital file and the metadata to an off-chain datastore;
and
a second computing platform including a second memory and one or more second processing devices in communication with the second memory, wherein the second memory stores a digital file adaptation application that is executable by at least one of the one or more second processing devices and configured to cause the at least one second processing device to:
monitor for occurrence of the plurality of predetermined conditions;
in response to the monitoring detecting an occurrence of at least one of the predetermined conditions, apply the NFT adaptation rules and adapt the digital file;
and
store the adapted digital file within the datastore.

8 more elements

A computer-implemented method for adapting a digital file used to generate a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), the method is executable by one or more computing processor devices and comprising:

receiving (1) a digital file comprising at least one chosen from the group consisting of (i) image content, (ii) audio content, and (iii) video content, (2) NFT adaptation criteria comprising a plurality of predetermined conditions that are points in time of an associated event or an occurrence of a sub-event within the associated event, and (3) NFT adaptation rules based on the plurality of predetermined conditions, wherein the adapted digital file provides for identifying a progress or current state of the associated event;
generating (i) a NFT using the digital file as input to the one or more cryptographic NFT-generating algorithms and (ii) metadata comprising the NFT adaptation criteria and NFT adaptation rules;
communicating (i) the NFT to a distributed trust computing network for on-chain storage within a distributed ledger and (ii) the digital file and the metadata to an off-chain datastore;
monitoring for occurrence of the plurality of predetermined conditions;
in response to the monitoring detecting an occurrence of at least one of the predetermined conditions, applying the NFT adaptation rules and adapting the digital file;
and
storing the adapted digital file within the datastore.

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising sets of codes for causing one or more computing processing devices to:
receive (1) a digital file comprising at least one chosen from the group consisting of (i) image content, (ii) audio content, and (iii) video content, (2) NFT adaptation criteria comprising a plurality of predetermined conditions that are points in time of an associated event or an occurrence of a sub-event within the associated event, and (3) NFT adaptation rules based on the plurality of predetermined conditions, wherein the adapted digital file provides for identifying a progress or current state of the associated event;
generate (i) a NFT using the digital file as input to the one or more cryptographic NFT-generating algorithms and (ii) metadata comprising the NFT adaptation criteria and NFT adaptation rules;
communicate (i) the NFT to a distributed trust computing network for on-chain storage within a distributed ledger and (ii) the digital file and the metadata to an off-chain datastore;
monitor for occurrence of the plurality of predetermined conditions;
in response to the monitoring detecting an occurrence of at least one of the predetermined conditions, apply the NFT adaptation rules and adapt the digital file;
and
store the adapted digital file within the datastore.
