Abstract

A system and method are described. An illustrative system enables operations such as: receiving new associated content from a user device and quantifying the new associated content via generating at least one new attribute-value pair object according to a multi-dimensional namespace and including at least some quantified attribute-value pairs determined from implementations of recognition algorithms executed on at least some of the new associated content. The operations may further include linking the at least one new attribute-value pair object into the linked list data structure and recording publication of the new associated content and the at least one new attribute-value pair object on a notarized ledger.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-based content distribution system, comprising:
at least one memory storing software instructions and a linked list data structure linking an original digital work comprising a game with associated game content via linked attribute-value pair objects; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and upon execution of the software instructions performs the following operations:
receiving new associated game content from a user device;
quantifying the new associated game content via generating at least one new attribute-value pair object according to a multi-dimensional namespace and including at least some quantified attribute-value pairs determined from implementations of recognition algorithms executed on at least some of the new associated game content, wherein the at least one new attribute-value pair object comprises a pointer to the new associated game content, wherein the at least one new attribute-value pair object comprises at least one similarity measure relative to the original digital work and determined, at least in part, from the at least some quantified attribute-value pairs, and wherein one or more rules associated with the new associated game content are triggered depending on a scope of the at least one new attribute-value pair, which are arranged in a hierarchical fashion to cause more relevant rules in the one or more rules to be executed before less relevant rules in the one or more rules;
linking the at least one new attribute-value pair object into the linked list data structure; and
recording publication of the new associated game content and the at least one new attribute-value pair object on a notarized ledger already having an entry for the original digital work, wherein the operation of recording the publication is performed according to a smart contract stored in the at least one memory and wherein the at least one new attribute-value pair object interacts with the smart contract.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a user subscription for the original digital work.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the user subscription permits a user account to view the new associated game content.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise generating a digital notification representing the new associated game content to a user subscribing to the original digital work.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the digital notification is generated upon satisfaction of notification rules triggering requirements and wherein a digital authentication token is also recorded along with the publication of the new associated game content and the at least one new attribute-value pair object on the notarized ledger.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the notification rules triggering requirements depend on values or attributes in the at least one new attribute-value pair object.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the digital notification representing the new associated game content is distributed via one or more communication channels.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more communication channels include at least one of the following channels: a text-based communication channel, a video communication channel, an audio communication channel, a multimedia communication channel, an alerting channel, and a web-based communication channel.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an original digital works database storing the original digital work.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an associated game content digital works database storing the associated game content.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting an arrangement of the of at least the new associated content according to SNMP.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the original digital work comprises a game and wherein the game is subject to one or more rules defined in the new associated game content.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the new attribute-value pair object quantifies the game and the one or more rules.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the game comprises a geo-location-based game.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the smart contract stored in the at least one memory is associated with the original digital work and the notarized ledger.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one new attribute-value pair object interacts with the smart contract via an Application Programming Interface (API).

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the notarized ledger comprise at least one of the following: a private ledger, a centralized ledger, a semi-private ledger, a blockchain, a hashgraph ledger, and a distributed ledger.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operation of linking the at least one new attribute-value pair object into the linked list data structure depends on the similarity measure satisfying similarity criteria related to the original digital work.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the similarity criteria depends on quantified attributes associated with the original digital work.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the new attribute-value pair object comprises a reason for linking the associated game content based on one or more similarity scores from the similarity measure.
