Transaction-enabled systems and methods for royalty apportionment and stacking are disclosed. An example system may include a plurality of royalty generating elements (a royalty stack) each related to a corresponding one or more of a plurality of intellectual property (IP) assets (an aggregate stack of IP). The system may further include a royalty apportionment wrapper to interpret IP licensing terms and apportion royalties to a plurality of owning entities corresponding to the aggregate stack of IP in response to the IP licensing terms and a smart contract wrapper. The smart contract wrapper is configured to access a distributed ledger, interpret an IP description value and IP addition request, to add an IP asset to the aggregate stack of IP, and to adjust the royalty stack.

The present invention provides a processing device (1) including a storage unit (112) that stores device-specific information in association with device identification information for identifying each of a plurality of devices, an authentication key request reception unit (101) that receives an authentication key request including device identification information, an authentication key issuing unit (102) that issues an authentication key, a license key request reception unit (103) that receives a license key request including the device identification information and the authentication key, a license key issuing unit (104) that issues a license key, and a revelation control unit (108) that controls revelation of the device-specific information of each device based on issuance states of the authentication key and the license key.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system can include a facility including a core task including a customer relevant output and a controller. The controller may include a facility description circuit to interpret a plurality of historical facility parameter values and corresponding facility outcome values and a facility prediction circuit to operate an adaptive learning system, wherein the adaptive learning system is configured to train a facility production predictor in response to the historical facility parameter values and the corresponding outcome values. The facility description circuit also interprets a plurality of present state facility parameter values, wherein the trained facility production predictor determines a customer contact indicator in response to the plurality of present state facility parameter values and a customer notification circuit provides a notification to a customer in response.

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for storing electronic digital certificates associated with unique resources on a digital platform. The present invention is configured to electronically receive, from a computing device of a user, unique resource data, wherein the unique resource is either digital or physical, retrieve one or more electronic digital certificates associated with the unique resource, receive a request for rights to the electronic digital certificate associated with the unique resource from a second user, initiate a resource transfer, and update the electronic digital certificate on a distributed ledger to record the rights of the second user to the unique resource.

Techniques for managing licensing of a software application that includes a plurality of executables are presented. The techniques can include detecting an initiation of the software application on a client computer; obtaining a license for a usage of a first executable of the plurality of executables; detecting an initiation of at least a second executable; obtaining execution type data for the second executable specifying one of: a license for a usage of the second executable is not required if an instance of the second executable is executing on the client computer, or a license for a usage of the second executable is not required if at least one executable of the plurality of executables is executing on the client computer; determining, based on the execution type data, that a license for a usage of the second executable is not required; and executing the second executable.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system can include a controller and a fleet of machines, each having at least one of a compute task requirement, a networking task requirement, and an energy consumption task requirement. The controller may include a resource requirement circuit to determine an amount of a resource for each of the machines to service the task requirement for each machine, a forward resource market circuit to access a forward resource market, and a resource distribution circuit to execute an aggregated transaction of the resource on the forward resource market.

Digital rights management systems and methods for audience measurement are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include enabling a media handler implemented by a media device to begin presenting first media based on a first digital license associated with the first media. Such example methods also include retrieving a second digital license different from the first digital license from a license server separate from the media device. Such example methods further include causing the media handler to perform a first media monitoring operation based on the second digital license, the first media monitoring operation being deactivated by default.

A computer-implemented system for associating digital media files with external commodities wherein a digital media file such as digital art is provided. An external commodity that is unique and has a unique identifier is provided, such as a carbon credit. Ownership of the external commodity is transferred to a buyer when the digital media file is acquired by the buyer. The digital media file is associated with the external commodity by generating a digital signature using a private key from data that includes a hash of the digital media file and the unique commodity identifier. A new, unique digital file is created containing the digital signature as metadata.

Systems and techniques to apply NFT content to immersive environment generation within an NFT platform are illustrated. One embodiment includes a method for rendering content. The method receives, from one or more sensory instruments, sensory input. The method processes the sensory input into a background source. The method receives a non-fungible token (NFT), wherein the NFT includes one or more character modeling elements. The method processes the one or more character modeling elements from the NFT into a character source. The method produces an immersive environment including features from the background source and features from the character source.

A system for selection and configuration of an automated robotic process includes a media input module structured to receive at least one functional media, a media analysis module structured to analyze the at least one functional media and identify an action parameter; and a solution selection module structured to select at least one component of an AI solution for use in an automated robotic process, wherein the selection is based, at least in part, on the action parameter.
