Blockchains (smart contracts, distributed ledgers) and rights management broadly construed are the themes of today's Spotlight Patents. Assigned to Dream Channel (AU), the first of today's patents addresses techniques for virtual reality interaction monitoring using distributed ledgers. Assigned to Symbiont.io, the second patent addresses techniques for for implementing a smart contract on a distributed ledger technology platform.
11,054,901, "Virtual reality interaction monitoring," assigned to Dream Channel Pty. Ltd. (AU).
Abstract
A computer system that monitors interactions with a virtual reality environment includes a graphics processor that generates images representing the virtual reality environment, a headset that displays the generated images to a user interacting with the virtual reality environment, a sensor that detects motion of the user as the user interacts with the virtual reality environment, a gaze controller that calculates a gaze of the user based on the detected motion of the user and identifies objects in the virtual reality environment with which the user interacts based on the calculated gaze of the user, and an interaction monitor that quantifies interactions of the user with an identified object in the virtual reality environment based on transactions on a distributed ledger. The transactions comprise logic expressions that define an automatic execution triggered by the interaction of the user with the object in the virtual reality environment.
11,057,353, "Systems, methods, and devices for implementing a smart contract on a distributed ledger technology platform," assigned to Symbiont.io, Inc.
Abstract
In some embodiments, systems, methods, and devices disclosed herein are directed to implementations of one or more smart contracts deployed on a distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform. In some embodiments, implementation of one or more specific smart contracts and/or private data sharing technologies on a DLT platform can provide frameworks and/or solutions to generate a smart UCC platform that facilitates submission and tracking of Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings on a distributed ledger or blockchain platform. In some embodiments, implementation of one or more specific smart contracts and/or private data sharing technologies on a DLT platform can provide frameworks and/or solutions to generate a smart company platform for controlling, managing, and/or communicating company documents and/or communications on a distributed ledger or blockchain platform.
