Determining whether object is genuine or fake in Metaverse

A system for determining whether an object is genuine or fake in a Metaverse, the system comprising:

• one or more physical processors programmed with one or more computer program instructions which, when executed, cause the one or more physical processors to:
• store a first entry in a data record, wherein the first entry comprises a first object ID and a first authenticity information, wherein the first object ID specifies a first object in the Metaverse accessible by avatars of users that access the Metaverse via client devices, wherein the first object is owned by a first user, and wherein the first authenticity information indicates that the first object is genuine;
• in response to the first object being copied to form a second object in the Metaverse, cause the first entry to be copied to form a second entry in the data record, wherein the second entry co-exists with the first entry and includes a second object ID and a second authenticity information, wherein the second object ID specifies the second object in the Metaverse, and wherein the second authenticity information indicates that the second object is fake;
• receive, from a client device, an enquiry request concerning the second object, the enquiry request including the second object ID;
• transmit the second authenticity information corresponding to the second object ID to the client device in response to the enquiry request;
• and
• transmit an alert notification to a first user client device associated with the first user in response to the enquiry request, the alert notification notifying the first user that the second object is a copy of the first object owned by the first user.

A computer program product for determining whether an object is genuine or fake in a Metaverse, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage devices;
• program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable tangible storage devices that, when executed, cause a computer to:
• store a first entry in a data record, wherein the first entry comprises a first object ID and a first authenticity information, wherein the first object ID specifies a first object in the Metaverse accessible by avatars of users that access the Metaverse via client devices, wherein the first object is owned by a first user, and wherein the first authenticity information indicates that the first object is genuine;
• in response to the first object being copied to form a second object in the Metaverse, cause the first entry to be copied to form a second entry in the data record, wherein the second entry co-exists with the first entry and includes a second object ID and a second authenticity information, wherein the second object ID specifies the second object in the Metaverse, and wherein the second authenticity information indicates that the second object is fake;
• receive, from a client device, an enquiry request concerning the second object, the enquiry request including the second object ID;
• transmit the second authenticity information corresponding to the second object ID to the client device in response to the enquiry request;
• and
• transmit an alert notification to a first user client device associated with the first user in response to the enquiry request, the alert notification notifying the first user that the second object is a copy of the first object owned by the first user.
