Abstract

A system includes hardware processors and a token exchange module configured to create a uniquely identified first digital token including an owner ID field identifying the current possessor of the digital token, associate the first digital token with digital content presented to the first user in a mixed reality environment, present the digital within the MR environment, make the first digital token available for acquisition, receive a request to acquire the first digital token, assign possession of the first digital token, via the owner ID field, to the first unique user ID of the first user based on the request to acquire the first digital token, receive a request to transfer the first digital token from the first user to the second user, the second user having a second unique user ID, and changing the owner ID field to the second unique user ID based on the request to transfer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors, and one or more databases, in networked communication with a mobile computing device of a first user, the first user having a first unique user identifier (ID), the mobile computing device providing a mixed reality (MR) environment to the first user, the MR environment being additionally experienced by a group of users including a second user; and
a token exchange module, executable by the one or more hardware processors, configured to perform operations comprising:
creating a uniquely identified first digital token using a blockchain ledger transaction, the first digital token being configured to be solely possessed by a single user. the first digital token including an owner ID field identifying a current possessor of the digital token;
associating the first digital token with digital content using a blockchain ledger transaction, the digital content includes content presented to the first user in the mixed reality environment;
presenting the digital content associated with the first digital token to the group of users within the MR environment;
making the first digital token available for acquisition by users of the group of users via the MR environment;
receiving, from the mobile computing device of the first user, a request to acquire the first digital token;
assigning possession of the first digital token, via the owner ID field and a blockchain ledger transaction, to the first unique user ID of the first user based on the request to acquire the first digital token;
receiving a request to transfer the first digital token from the first user to the second user, the second user having a second unique user ID; and
changing the owner ID field, using a blockchain ledger transaction, to the second unique user ID based on the request to transfer.

2. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
receiving, from a third user, a request to broadcast availability of a second digital token for acquisition by users of the group of users; and
presenting, via the MR environment, availability of the second digital token for acquisition.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first digital token includes one or more of an inbound connection and an outbound connection to one or more other digital tokens.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first digital token includes a transform function configured to modify, using a blockchain ledger transaction, the first digital token upon occurrence of an event.

5. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising creating, using a blockchain ledger transaction, a second digital token associated with the first digital token, the digital content of the second digital token including a link to the digital content of the first digital token.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first digital token includes a transform fiinction configured to modify, using a blockchain ledger transaction, an attribute of the first digital token and, based on the attribute of the first digital token having a connection to an attribute of the second digital token, additionally modify the attribute of the second digital token.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first digital token is grouped with other digital tokens based at least in part on one or more of geospatial area, token attributes, and links between tokens.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
creating, using a blockchain ledger transaction, a uniquely identified first digital token, the first digital token being configured to be solely possessed by a single user, the first digital token including an owner ID field identifying a current possessor of the digital token;
associating, using a blockchain ledger transaction, the first digital token with digital content, the digital content includes content presented to the first user in a mixed reality (MR) environment, the MR environment being additionally experienced by a group of users including a second user;
presenting the digital content associated with the first digital token to the group of users within the MR environment;
making the first digital token available for acquisition by users of the group of users via the MR environment
receiving, from the mobile computing device of a first user, a request to acquire the first digital token, the first user having a first unique user identifier (ID);
assigning, using a blockchain ledger transaction, possession of the first digital token, via the owner ID field, to the first unique user ID of the first user based on the request to acquire the first digital token;
receiving a request to transfer the first digital token from the first user to the second user, the second user having a second unique user ID; and
changing, using a blockchain ledger transaction, the owner ID field to the second unique user ID based on the request to transfer.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving, from a third user, a request to broadcast availability of a second digital token for acquisition by users of the group of users; and
presenting, via the MR environment, availability of the second digital token for acquisition.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first digital token includes one or more of an inbound connection and an outbound connection to one or more other digital tokens.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first digital token includes a transform function configured to modify, using a blockchain ledger transaction, the first digital token upon occurrence of an event.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising creating, using a blockchain ledger transaction, a second digital token associated with the first digital token, the digital content of the second digital token including a link to the digital content of the first digital token.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first digital token includes a transform firnction configured to modify, using a blockchain ledger transaction, an attribute of the first digital token and, based on the attribute of the first digital token having a connection to an. attribute of the second digital token, additionally modify the attribute of the second digital token.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first digital token is grouped with other digital tokens based at least in part on one or more of geospatial area, token attributes, and links between tokens.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
creating, using a blockchain ledger transaction, a uniquely identified first digital token, the first digital token being configured to be solely possessed by a single user, the first digital token including an owner ID field identifying a current possessor of the digital token;
associating, using a blockchain ledger transaction, the first digital token with digital content, the digital content includes content presented to the first user in a mixed reality (MR) environment, the MR environment being additionally experienced by a group of users including a second user;
presenting the digital content associated with the first digital token to the group of users within the MR environment;
making the first digital token available for acquisition by users of the group of users via the MR environment,
receiving, from the mobile computing device of a first user, a request to acquire the first digital token, the first user having a first unique user identifier (ID);
assigning, using a blockchain ledger transaction, possession of the first d
