The disclosed embodiments relate generally to complex data stream control and entitlement. Specifically, the disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for ensuring that only authenticated/verified participants receive data streams. A third party, e.g., a party other than the data provider or the data recipient, who is nevertheless associated with both the data provider and the data recipient, may be involved in controlling whether data streams from the data provider can reach the data recipient. Thus, a third party may logically sit between the data provider and the data recipient, and may decide whether the data recipient should receive data streams. The disclosed embodiments implement data generation, flow, control and permissioning between multiple entities via digital assets accessed and manipulated on a shared data structure.

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing program, capable of managing the copyright-related information of content appropriately.

An information processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire, in a case where there is a plurality of copyright holders relating to one piece of content, consensus information indicating an agreement on a share of respective copyrights of the plurality of copyright holders, and a generation unit configured to create a transaction for recording the consensus information acquired by the acquisition unit on a blockchain.

A system for data collection and loan activities is disclosed. The system may include a data collection circuit to receive data relating to a status of a loan and a set of items of collateral acting as security for the loan. The system may further include a blockchain service circuit to maintain a secure historical ledger of events related to the loan, and to interpret a plurality of access control features corresponding to parties associated with the loan. The system may further include a loan evaluation circuit to determine a loan status based on the received data, a smart contract circuit to create a smart lending contract for the loan, and an automated agent circuit to perform a loan action based on the loan status, wherein the blockchain service circuit is further structured to update the secure historical ledger of events with the loan action.

A method and system for producing a global multilayer cartographic database enabling the production of maps and, more particularly, to the production of maps containing topographic, altimetric, vegetation cover, soil nature and subsidence information. through a collaborative process of using remote sensing systems carried by drones (DBSS), where information collected during individual surveys is incorporated into a global multilayer cartographic database, whose information is made available to amateur and professional parties. The system includes, in addition to the global multilayer cartographic database (BCGMC), an applications databank, a production infrastructure, an intermediation system service and a database of accredited operators

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for offering experience-based subscriptions to services. In use, a service package is created for a network service provider, the service package relating to a service experience specific at least to a subset of content accessible over a communication network via the network service provider. Additionally, a user subscription to the service package is received. Further, access to the subset of the content is provided based on the user subscription.

Methods, systems, and storage media for generating a virtual world in a virtual universe are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: generate virtual objects comprising object representations in a virtual world of a virtual universe; generate avatars comprising user representations of themselves in the virtual world; generate spatial containers within the virtual world; and process transactions regarding the virtual objects between the avatars based on evaluations of rights sets associated with the virtual objects.

Systems and methods are disclosed for interacting with a blockchain and users of the blockchain to perform banking identity authentication services. For example, a method may include receiving a bank transaction from a participant; verifying the bank transaction; generating and communicating a confirmation that the bank transaction is valid to the participant; adding the bank transaction to a block of bank transactions; generating a cryptographic hash for the block of bank transactions; solving a cryptographic puzzle involving the hash of the block of bank transactions; adding the block to the blockchain; and/or transmitting the solution to the cryptographic puzzle, and the block of bank transactions to another participant. Otherwise, if the identity data is not valid, generating and communicating the confirmation that the bank transaction is not valid to the participant.

Transaction-enabled methods for providing provable access to a distributed ledger with a tokenized instruction set for polymer production processes are described. A method may include accessing a distributed ledger comprising an instruction set for a polymer production process and tokenizing the instruction set. The method may further include interpreting an instruction set access request and providing a provable access to the instruction set. The method may further include providing commands to a production tool of the polymer production process and recording the transaction on the distributed ledger.

A computer-implemented method of providing limited distribution of a digital media file, the method being executable at a server connected to a network, the server comprising memory. The method includes receiving the digital media file to be distributed; encrypting the digital media file to create an encrypted digital media file; creating a plurality of copies of the encrypted digital media file; creating a plurality of rights tokens, a quantity of the rights tokens being equal to a quantity of copies of the encrypted digital media file, each rights token containing: a key for decrypting a corresponding one of the plurality of copies of the encrypted digital media file, and identifying information related to access rights for the digital media file; and recording the rights tokens to a rights blockchain representative of actions related to distribution of the plurality of copies of the encrypted the digital media file.

Introduced here is a digital distribution platform that unifies the benefits of the application store model and software-as-a-service model to support applications that reside on a cloud computing infrastructure. While these “cloud-native applications” may be implemented on the cloud computing infrastructure, the digital distribution platform can provide a convenient source through which to access these cloud-native applications. The digital distribution platform can offer various technical and practical benefits. One such benefit is the avoidance of long-term commitments and obligations. Rather than require users purchase an application outright or agree to a subscription plan that extends a predetermined length of time (e.g., a month or year), the digital distribution platform may allow users to run individual applications for as long a duration as needed.
