Abstract

Systems and techniques are described for situational token-associated media output. A system receives sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a media device. The system identifies, based on the sensor data, a relationship between the media device and an anchor element that is associated with a token. The system identifies the token in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger. The token corresponds to media content according to the distributed ledger. The system generates a representation of the media content corresponding to the token. In response to identifying the relationship between the media device and the anchor element, the system outputs the representation of the media content.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus for situational token-associated media output, the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
receive sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a media device while the media device is in a geographic area;
analyze the sensor data to detect a representation of an anchor element in the sensor data, wherein the anchor element is associated with a token;
receive an indication of a transfer of at least one wireless signal between the media device and a local device, wherein the local device is in the geographic area, wherein the local device is distinct from the anchor element, and wherein the geographic area is associated with a signal range associated with the at least one wireless signal;
identify the token in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger, wherein the token corresponds to media content according to the distributed ledger;
generate a representation of the media content corresponding to the token; and
automatically in response to detecting the representation of the anchor element in the sensor data and receiving the indication, output the representation of the media content.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data includes image data captured by at least one image sensor of the at least one sensor of the media device, wherein the anchor element includes an object, and wherein, to detect the representation of the anchor element in the sensor data, the at least one processor is configured to detect a depiction of the object in the image data.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the object includes an optical glyph, wherein information indicative of the token is optically encoded based on the optical glyph.

4. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein reference image data depicting the object is stored in a data store, and wherein, to identify that the image data depicts the object, the at least one processor is configured to compare the image data to the reference image data.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to identify that a position of the media device is within the geographic area based on at least one of the sensor data or the indication.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to identify that a position of the media device is within a threshold range of a geographic location based on at least one of the sensor data or the indication, wherein the geographic location is within the geographic area.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor data includes audio data captured by at least one microphone of the at least one sensor of the media device, wherein the anchor element includes a sound, and wherein, to detect the representation of the anchor element in the sensor data, the at least one processor is configured to identify that the audio data includes the sound.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, to output the representation of the media content, the at least one processor is configured to cause a display to display at least a portion of the media content.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
identify a media device pose of the media device based on the sensor data; and
determine a media content pose for the media content based on the media device pose of the media device, wherein, to cause the display to display at least the portion of the media content, the at least one processor is configured to output the representation of the media content posed according to the media content pose.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
identify, based on the distributed ledger, that a parameter of the token indicates that the token is associated with a first user;
determine a visual effect for the media content based on the parameter of the token indicating that the token is associated with the first user; and
apply the visual effect to the media content, wherein, to output the representation of the media content, the at least one processor is configured to output the representation of the media content with the visual effect applied.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine, based on a data store, that the first user and a second user are associated according to a relationship type, wherein the media device is associated with the second user, and wherein the visual effect for the media content corresponds to the relationship type.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine that the media device is associated with the first user, and wherein the visual effect for the media content corresponds the first user.

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine, based on a data store, that the first user is a predetermined person, and wherein the visual effect for the media content corresponds to the first user being the predetermined person.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine, based on a data store, a rating associated with the media content, and wherein the visual effect for the media content corresponds the rating.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
determine that the token is identified in a data store, and wherein the visual effect for the media content corresponds to the data store.

16. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
retrieve information about the token from the distributed ledger; and
output the information about the token.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein, to output the information about the token, the at least one processor is configured to cause a display to display at least a portion of the information.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
identify, based on the distributed ledger, that a parameter of the token indicates that the token is associated with a first user, wherein the information identifies the first user.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the information identifies the distributed ledger.

20. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
identify, based on the distributed ledger, that a parameter of the token indicates that the token is associated with a smart contract, wherein the information identifies the smart contract.

21. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
identify, based on the distributed ledger, that a parameter of the token indicates an amount of instances of the token, wherein the information identifies the amount of instances of the token.

22. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
identify a transfer platform that is configured for token transfer; and
output an interface element corresponding to the media content, wherein the interface element is configured to initiate a transfer of the token using the transfer platform upon interaction with the interface element.

23. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus includes at least one of a head-mounted display (HMD), a mobile handset, or a wireless communication device.
