Abstract

Systems and methods for trigger event determination can include processing blockchain data to determine a trigger event. Data associated with the trigger event can be processed to determine a query. The query can then be utilized to recursively search a database for data descriptive of the trigger event occurring. A notification can then be provided to instruct a resulting action to be performed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computing system for trigger event determination, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining blockchain data from a blockchain, wherein the blockchain data is descriptive of a smart contract, wherein the smart contract is associated with a trigger event and a resulting action;
processing the blockchain data to determine the trigger event, wherein the trigger event is associated with a particular topic;
generating a query based on the trigger event, wherein the query is associated with the particular topic;
determining the trigger event has occurred based on processing the query to search a database; and
in response to determining the trigger event has occurred, causing, with a blockchain computing system, the resulting action to occur, wherein the blockchain computing system is associated with the blockchain.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the query based on the trigger event comprises:
processing data descriptive of the trigger event with a machine-learned model to generate the query.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the machine-learned model comprises a pre-trained language model.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein processing data descriptive of the trigger event with the machine-learned model to generate the query comprises:
determining one or more labels associated with the trigger event; and
generating the query based on the one or more labels.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the machine-learned model comprises a natural language processing model.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the machine-learned model comprises an image processing model.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the trigger event has occurred based on the query comprises:
searching the database of an authoritative source based on the query.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger event is associated with one or more particular knowledge graphs.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein determining the trigger event has occurred based on processing the query to search the database comprises searching one or more knowledge graphs.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain is stored via a decentralized computing system, and wherein the blockchain comprises a plurality of security protocols.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain data comprises data associated with a plurality of non-fungible tokens.

12. A computer-implemented method for trigger event determination, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, blockchain data from a blockchain, wherein the blockchain data is descriptive of a smart contract, wherein the smart contract is associated with a trigger event and a resulting action;
processing, by the computing system, the blockchain data with a machine-learned model to determine a semantic intent associated with the trigger event;
generating, by the computing system, a query based on the semantic intent;
recursively searching, by the computing system, a knowledge database with the query;
determining, by the computing system, the trigger event has occurred based on the query and the knowledge database; and
in response to determining the trigger event has occurred, instructing, by the computing system, a blockchain computing system to cause the resulting action to occur, wherein the blockchain computing system is associated with the blockchain.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the trigger event comprises a query threshold being met.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the threshold comprises at least one of a total volume of queries, a total volume of queries in a given time period, a location-based time volume, or a particular user query volume.

15. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
transmitting a notification to one or more computing devices, wherein the notification is descriptive of the trigger event occurring.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein recursively searching, by the computing system, the knowledge database with the query generates a plurality of search result datasets, wherein each search result dataset is associated with a different respective instance of a search; and
wherein determining, by the computing system, the trigger event has occurred based on one or more search result datasets of the plurality of search result datasets.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein determining the trigger event has occurred based on the query comprises:
determining, by the computing system, a trending topic is associated with the query; and
determining, by the computing system, the trending topic is descriptive of the trigger event occurring.

18. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining blockchain data from a blockchain, wherein the blockchain data is descriptive of a smart contract, wherein the smart contract is associated with a trigger event and a resulting action;
processing the blockchain data to determine the trigger event, wherein the trigger event is associated with a particular topic;
generating a query based on the trigger event, wherein the query is associated with the particular topic;
determining the trigger event has occurred based on processing the query to search a database; and
in response to determining the trigger event has occurred, causing, with a blockchain computing system, the resulting action to occur, wherein the blockchain computing system is associated with the blockchain.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein determining the trigger event has occurred based on the query comprises:
providing the query to a search engine;
obtaining search result data from the search engine; and
determining the trigger event has occurred based on the search result data.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein the trigger event comprises a particular outcome of a sports event, wherein the one or more particular knowledge graphs comprise a sports knowledge graph associated with a particular sport, and wherein the sports event is associated with the particular sport.
