Systems and methods of converting payment protocols, including: sending a transaction request to a computing device, wherein the transaction request is associated with a first protocol, determining based on the received transaction request, a type of the first protocol, determining a second protocol, wherein the type of the second protocol is determined based on the received transaction request, determining a characteristic of the received transaction request, and converting the received transaction request from the first protocol into the second protocol, wherein the conversion is carried out based on a predefined conversion protocols database.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for allocating resources are provided. One of the methods includes receiving a first request from a first client for accessing a server, wherein the first request includes token information corresponding to resource information of a second client; determining, according to the token information included in the first request, the resource information of the second client corresponding to the token information; receiving resource allocation information from the first client; and allocating resource according to the resource allocation information from the first client and the resource information of the second client.

Techniques for integrating a payment processing platform (PPP) and a payment making platform (PMP) for differentiated payment allocations using cryptocurrency is described. The PPP can receive a request to receive funds in cryptocurrency, wherein the funds are associated with transaction(s) conducted via point-of-sale (POS) software provided by the PPP. Based on the request, a cryptocurrency wallet account for the merchant can be accessed via the PMP. The PPP can associate a merchant account of the merchant with the cryptocurrency wallet account. The PPP can receive, via the POS software associated with the merchant, payment authorization request(s) associated with the transaction(s) and cause (i) a first portion of the funds to be deposited as cryptocurrency into the cryptocurrency wallet account and (ii) a second portion of the funds to be deposited as fiat currency into the merchant account.

One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method that utilizes a mapping between a blockchain address and a payment credential. In some embodiments, the mapping may have been previously generated based on blockchain data (e.g., one or more blockchain tokens) associated with a blockchain address and a previously provided set of conditions. An authorization request message is later received that includes the payment credential. The blockchain address may be retrieved from the mapping and it may be determined whether the set of conditions have been met. One or more operations may be executed based on determining the set of conditions have been met.

A system configured to provide a customer with a digital representation of an amount of real funds for the subsequent transfer thereof to third-parties may comprise a fiat ledger system and a distributed ledger system disposed in connection through a bridging system, such bridging system configured to circulate digital tokens therefor, and redeem such digital tokens for the ultimate end-user thereof, while holding such amount of funds within a financial institution's reserve account. Consequently, such a bridging system may comprise a bridging component configured to equivocate between the fiat ledger system and the distributed ledger system by effectuating a series of ledger entries on each such system. Such a system may comprise yet additional components configured to merge disparate financial entities having distinct sets of digital tokens into a unitary version thereof, and effectuate exchanges between other third-party financial entities utilizing, for instance, digital tokens formed under a foreign currency.

A method of effecting a purchase order includes accessing from one or more memory devices computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions are executable by one or more processors of a computing device to detect a purchase trigger event. The method also includes recalling a delivery address specification in response to the detecting of the purchase trigger event, forming a cryptocurrency transaction, the cryptocurrency transaction incorporating the recalled delivery address specification therein, and transmitting the cryptocurrency transaction into a peer to peer cryptocurrency network.

A touchless gaming system includes one or more gaming stations, a registration device at each gaming station, and a game processor, as well as a personal electronic device used by each participant in a game offered by the touchless gaming system. The touchless gaming system enables an individual to participate in a live game (e.g., within a casino, etc.) while socially distancing the participants and eliminating the need for physical contact with objects that could infections agents. Touchless gaming methods are also disclosed.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and device embodiments for time-based trust token (TBTT) depreciation. In an example embodiment, a service provider system (e.g., a service provider and API service) may receive a connection request including a demographic attribute associated with a first client account from a partner device, match the demographic attribute to client information associated with the first client account, send the partner device a connection request identifier and a URL including a depreciating token, and authenticate a second client account via a login page associated with the URL. Further, the service provider system may receive a verification request including the connection request identifier and the depreciating token, determine a security context of the depreciating token based on a depreciation function and the verification request, and determine, based on the security context, whether to create a connection between the second client account and partner device within the service provider system.

This invention describes an operation in which money is deposited in an interest-bearing account where the yield is serving a widely acceptable social goal, while digital claim checks for that money are transacted either digitally as a digital coin or through a physical contraption housing a memory device with the digital coin inside.

An acquisition part acquires a blockchain in which a plurality of blocks are linked, the blocks store (i) creator information for identifying a creator of a work, (ii) rule information for establishing transaction rules of the work, (iii) information relating to a virtual currency used for a transaction of the work, and (iv) a transfer history of the work and information relating to an exploitation right which is a right established for the work and allows others to use the work. A license information specification part specifies a grantor and a license fee of the exploitation right. A received amount transfer part subtracts a creator's receiving amount from a balance of the virtual currency associated with the grantor, and adds the creator's receiving amount to a balance of the virtual currency associated with a person or management organization designated by the creator of the work.
