US 2023/0409679 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A TOKENIZED VIRTUAL PERSONA FOR USE WITH A PLURALITY OF SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Systems and methods for securely managing all aspects of virtual personas, i.e., all aspects of digital representations of any human, animal or character used to represent an object in any software application. The systems and methods securely manage the creation of virtual personas, the encryption and tokenization of the virtual personas, recordation of the tokenized virtual personas on a distributed ledger technology, the authorization of software applications to access and use the virtual personas, the modification of the virtual personas, the ownership rights in the virtual personas, the grant of access and usage rights in the virtual personas to other parties, providing authorized access and use of the virtual personas, and the ability of character intellectual property owners to create and license virtual personas based on proprietary characters.

Claims52

Dependent claims

A method for generating and using a tokenized virtual persona, the method comprising:

creating a virtual persona for a first user, the virtual persona comprising one or more of appearance attributes, physical attributes, sound traits, capability traits and personality traits for the virtual persona;
associating the virtual persona with a unique first user account having an associated unique authorized cryptographic key pair (ACKP);
encrypting the virtual persona;
storing the encrypted virtual persona at a storage location within a virtual persona files database;
generating a master virtual persona token (MVPT) for the virtual persona by associating the virtual persona to the first user account as a non-fungible token (NET);
and
recording the MVPT on a distributed ledger technology (DLT) configured to track ownership rights to the virtual persona;
configuring one or more permissions defining usage rights for the virtual persona, the permissions including one or more application permissions authorizing one or more of a plurality of software applications to access and use the virtual persona;
and
recording the application permissions as a transaction for the MVPT on the DLT.

7 more elements

A method for generating and using a tokenized virtual persona, the method comprising:

creating a virtual persona utilizing character data for a character owned by a character intellectual property owner (CIPO), the virtual persona comprising one or more of appearance attributes, physical attributes, sound traits, capability traits and personality traits for the virtual persona;
associating the virtual person with a unique CIPO account having an associated unique authorized cryptographic key pair (ACKP);
encrypting the virtual persona;
storing the encrypted virtual persona at a storage location within a virtual persona media database;
generating a master virtual persona token (MVPT) of the virtual persona by associating the virtual persona to the CIPO account as a non-fungible token (NFT);
recording the MVPT as a transaction on a distributed ledger technology (DLT) configured to track ownership rights to the virtual persona;
configuring a license to a first user to access and use the virtual persona;
recording the license for the first user as a transaction for the MVPT on the DLT;
receiving a request from a requestor software application to access the virtual persona on behalf of the first user, including an authenticator generated using the ACKP;
verifying the request to access the virtual persona on the DLT by verifying the first user has permission to access the virtual persona in the license, and authenticating the authenticator using the ACKP;
and
upon verifying the request to access the virtual persona, allowing the requestor access to the virtual persona.

9 more elements

A system for generating and using a tokenized virtual persona, the system comprising:

a tokenized virtual persona system comprising:
a virtual persona user control panel configured to:
create a virtual persona for a first user, the virtual persona comprising one or more of appearance attributes, physical attributes, sound traits, capability traits and personality traits for the virtual persona;
associate the virtual persona with a unique first user account having an associated unique authorized cryptographic key pair (ACKP);
and
encrypt the virtual persona;
configure permissions defining usage rights for the virtual persona, the permissions including authorizing one or more of a plurality of software applications to access the virtual persona;
a virtual persona tokenization system configured to:
generate a master virtual persona token (MVPT) of the virtual persona by associating the virtual persona and permissions to the first user account as a non-fungible token (NET);
record the MVPT on a distributed ledger technology (DLT) configured to track ownership rights to the virtual persona;
and
record the permissions as a transaction for the virtual persona MVPT on the DLT;
a virtual persona container system configured to store the encrypted virtual persona at a storage location within a virtual persona files database;
and
a virtual persona access system configured to:
receive a request from a requestor software application to access the virtual persona on behalf of the first user, including an authenticator generated using the ACKP;
verify the request to access the virtual persona on the DLT by (a) verifying the requestor has permission to access the virtual persona in the permissions and (b) authenticating the authenticator using the ACKP;
and
upon verifying the request to access the virtual persona, allow the requestor software application to access the virtual persona.
receive a request from a requestor software application to access the virtual persona on behalf of the first user, including an authenticator generated using the ACKP;
verify the request to access the virtual persona on the DLT by (a) verifying the requestor has permission to access the virtual persona in the permissions and (b) authenticating the authenticator using the ACKP;
and
upon verifying the request to access the virtual persona, allow the requestor software application to access the virtual persona.
