Systems and methods for controlling an automated electronic networked central clearinghouse for clearing and reversing reversible exchanges of digital assets are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: execute an instance of a game; receive an exchange request that indicates a first user offers a first digital asset for a reversible exchange on a fiat-currency-based online exchange platform; access a decentralized database to obtain asset-specific distribution rights for the first digital asset; generate publication information of the first digital asset for publication on the online exchange platform; receive exchange information regarding the reversible exchange; temporarily transferring the ownership of the first digital asset; determine whether to reverse the reversible exchange, and either (i) transfer the ownership of the first digital asset to the first user, or (ii) clear the reversible exchange by non-temporarily transferring the ownership to the exchanging user, and by distributing benefits in accordance with the asset-specific distribution rights.

The offline activity is cached and uploaded when the console connects to the online service. Players can accumulate achievements offline that are credited towards online activities.

There is a system and method for gamification of real-life events over a computerized network. The system includes an observer module configured to generate real-life data in response to observation of a real-life event. The system includes an interface engine module configured to operate an ongoing computerized game that includes game objects. The system includes an implementation module configured to receive an implementation instruction and automatically effect a real-world occurrence associated with the implementation instruction. The system includes a control module, including a processor, configured to convert real-life data from the observer module into a game object, provide the created game object to the interface engine module for injection into an ongoing computer game, and convert a player interaction into an implementation instruction and provide the same to the implementation module. The system includes a player module configured to permit a player to play the ongoing game.

A method includes receiving, at a media device, a video game from a server via a network. The method includes installing, via the media device, the video game to a storage device associated with the media device. The method includes receiving, at the media device, a request to play the video game. The method includes sending an authorization request to the server from the media device via the network in response to the request. The method includes receiving authorization to execute the video game at the media device. The authorization is based on an identifier of the media device included in the authorization request being associated with rights allowing execution of the video game. The method also includes executing the video game via the media device in response to receiving the authorization.

Systems and methods for updating content of a mobile video game allow for mobile communication devices to receive updated content for video games that operate on the devices. The updates may be promotional in nature, and may be pre-selected based on the device type, service, or service provider. The game may contain instructions that cause the mobile communication device to contact an interface and/or server to receive updated content. After the updated content is received by the mobile communication device, the content may be displayed in-game. The user of the mobile communication device may be provided with one or more options that affect the frequency or ability to receive or display updated content. In addition, the server may track what content has already been received by the mobile communication device.

A plurality of characters with which outer appearance images and game parameters are respectively associated, even several characters having the same outer appearance images are individually managed, and a game is executed using the plurality of characters possessed by a user. For a specific character designated by the user among specific characters for which a change allowing condition for the outer appearance image is satisfied, the outer appearance image is changed to a first image set in advance in association with the specific character or a second image that has become selectable by the change allowing condition being satisfied, on the basis of a user's instruction. Further, the game parameters of all the specific characters for which the change allowing condition is satisfied are changed.

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing digital content for an application to users. For example, systems described herein can provide a license for the digital content during a rental time. Systems disclosed herein may additionally track a duration of use of an application and compare the tracked use against an amount of rental time purchased (e.g., rented) by a user. The systems described herein may further extend a license or terminate the license based on a determination of whether the amount of use exceeds a rental time. Features and functionality described herein provide a flexible and efficient mechanism that enables users having a variety of content-consuming preferences to receive affordable content while ensuring that use of an application is efficiently and accurately tracked.

Systems and methods for using shared user inventory information to initiate peer-to-peer exchanges of digital assets that are usable within an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive a sharing request for information regarding a first user inventory; access a blockchain to obtain asset information; transfer the asset information in response to the sharing request; receive an offer request for the transfer of ownership of a first digital asset from a first user to a second user; if the offer according to the offer request is accepted, receive a transfer request and transfer the ownership of the first digital asset as requested.

An information processor comprises a terminal-side controller programmed to execute: (A1) a process of allowing a creation of a message to the information processor of a transmission destination; and (A2) a process of expanding a representable range of the message on condition of charging when the message is created, and a server comprises a server-side controller that calculates a charge amount charged for the message in the information processor by referring to a charge amount determination data, and a server-side memory that stores the charge amount correspondingly to each of the information processors.
