Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of configuring a license for a component configurable with a computer system, comprising storing the component on the computer system. The implementations further include encoding computer system information corresponding to the computer system into a barcode, such as a Quick Response (QR) code. Additionally, the implementations further include displaying the barcode and a license identifier field. Additionally, the implementations further include receiving a license identifier in the license identifier field, wherein the license identifier is based on the barcode. Additionally, the implementations further include decoding the license for the component based on the license identifier.

The present technology relates to an information processing device and method, and an information processing system capable of enabling appropriate protection of rights. An information processing device includes: a communication unit that receives from a license provider a license including a first key and a second key, the first key being for decrypting an encrypted inference model, the second key being for encrypting an inference result obtained by inference in response to input data to the inference model or for encrypting the input data; a decryption unit that decrypts the encrypted inference model based on the first key included in the license; and an inference engine that performs the inference based on the inference model. The present technology can be applied to an information processing system.

A license management apparatus includes: a determination part configured to, before an execution unit for an application, as a unit to which a license for execution of the application is issued, newly executes the application, determine whether a license of a first type is issuable to the execution unit that newly executes the application; a license issue part configured to, when the license of the first type is not issuable, issue a license of a second type to the execution unit that newly executes the application; and a control part configured to control the execution unit in such a way that the execution unit executes the application using the license of the second type. The license management apparatus thus rapidly adds an execution environment for a new application even when the execution environment is difficult to rapidly add because of a problem on license management.

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.

Disclosed is an athlete name, image, and likeness marketing and direct payment system and method comprising determining that an athlete is associated with an intercollegiate sports team of a university. The method includes identifying a set of parameters associated with a contractual relationship between the athlete and the university using a processor and a memory. The method further includes associating a set of restrictions to monetization of at least one of a name, an image and a likeness of the athlete based on the set of parameters associated with the contractual relationship between the athlete and the university. The method further includes determining a set of rules associated with a league in which the university participates with respect to compensation of the athlete. The method further automatically identifies a set of permissible revenue mechanisms available to the athlete.
