Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining that a first end-user entity has performed a task within a computer simulation for which a non-fungible token (NFT) is to be provided, where the NFT is associated with a digital asset. Responsive to the determination, the NFT is provided to the first end-user entity so that the digital asset may be used, via the NFT, across plural different computer simulations and/or across plural different computer simulation platforms. Ownership of the NFT may also be subsequently transferred to other end-user entities for their own use across different simulations and/or platforms.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for fractionalizing non-fungible token (NFT) shares for digital game assets. The method includes generating a digital asset depicting a gaming event associated with a game. The method includes obtaining a non-fungible token (NFT) for the digital asset. The NFT is stored in a block chain with a reference to a storage location of said digital asset. The obtaining of the NFT includes instructions or parameters for fractionalizing said NFT. The fractionalizing of the NFT creates a set of shares of the NFT. The method includes assigning a share the NFT to a user of the online gaming system. The share is exchangeable among a community of users. The method includes tracking use of each of the set of shares of the NFT and applying a value indicator to each share by the online gaming system. The value indicator is indicative of a level of use of the share within the online gaming system.

Abstract: A user’s environment is scanned and an augmented reality game such as a treasure is set up based on the scan. The user needs to use a phone to uncover clues in a game environment that is customized to user’s own personal real-world environment, which is discovered using SLAM or GPS so that a map of furniture can be built. The game hides a virtual object behind a virtualized image of the real-world furniture. Machine learning may be used to train a model with common objects and where interesting hidden spaces could exist. Given the user’s inputted data, real world physical room data and objects are used to determine a likely location to hide a virtual object.

Abstract: Data processing/GUIs for NFT block chain data to “tell the story” of ownership or highlight “cool” aspects of a computer game-related NFT in simplified way. Machine learning (ML) may be used to boil down the complexity of data to what people need or want to understand. The displayed timeline of ownership as presented in a GUI can be interactive. Types of metadata to encapsulate in the NFT are discussed.

Abstract: Techniques for providing information and functionalities based on a video game lifecycle are described. In an example, a computer system presents a page as a single user interface to information and functionalities associated with a video game. The page is generated based on a layout that is specific to a phase of the lifecycle of the video game. The page is accessible to the user across the different phases of the video game's lifecycle. The computer system updates the phase through the different phases, such that the page presents the most relevant and needed information and functionalities at any point in time.

Abstract: Techniques for providing information and functionalities based on a video game lifecycle and user context are described. In an example, a computer system presents a page as a single user interface to information and functionalities associated with a video game. The page is generated based on a layout that is specific to a phase of the lifecycle of the video game. The page is also customized based on a context of the user of the video game. The page is accessible to the user across the different phases of the video game's lifecycle. The computer system updates the phase through the different phases and based on changes to the user context, such that the page presents the most relevant and needed information and functionalities at any point in time.
