System architecture

THE POSITION IS THE ORCHESTRATION, NOT THE COMPONENTS

PATENT ARCHITECTURESeven connected functional domains

01

GEOSPATIAL POSITION

A physical location, space or object reference is selected.

02

DIGITAL ASSET ASSOCIATION

A digital asset is bound to that position.

03

MAP-BASED DISCOVERY

A map surfaces where assets may be viewed.

04

PHYSICAL PRESENCE

Device presence within the relevant area is determined.

05

AUGMENTED REALITY INTERACTION

The asset is rendered against the real-world scene.

06

MARKETPLACE TRANSACTION

A user encountering the asset at the relevant location is provided with a transaction opportunity involving purchase or trade, including transactions involving another digital asset.

07

DIGITAL OWNERSHIP / BLOCKCHAIN TRANSFER

Blockchain-based updating of digital-asset ownership, with additional smart-contract and destination-blockchain operations associated with transfer.

Central layer

PATENT-PROTECTED ORCHESTRATION LAYER

The position resides in the combination and orchestration of these domains, not in any single technology within them.

END-TO-END VALUE CHAINSix operative stages
01

CREATE

A digital asset is associated with a physical location.

02

DISCOVER

The asset is presented through a map or geospatial interface.

03

APPROACH

The system determines that the user is physically near the relevant location.

04

EXPERIENCE

The digital asset is accessed or experienced using AR.

05

TRANSACT

The user takes a marketplace action.

06

TRANSFER

Digital ownership or transaction state is updated.

Page 01 — Executive Patent Position

A U.S. PATENT POSITION AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL WORLDS

The patented architecture concerns more than NFTs, augmented reality, maps, blockchain or digital marketplaces considered individually. Each of those technologies is well populated, and none of them alone describes the position under review.

Its commercial significance arises from the orchestration of those functions into a single connected digital asset marketplace architecture: an asset is bound to a real-world position, surfaced through map-based discovery, accessed through physical presence and augmented reality, and then transacted with a corresponding change in digital ownership.

Not simply NFTs

Orchestration thesis

The value of the position lies in the connected sequence, not in any single function within it.

Central architectural sequence

  1. OWNER

    Party holding a digital asset.

  2. DIGITAL ASSET

    Image, video, audio, 3D object, NFT or collectible.

  3. SELECT PHYSICAL / GEO-LOCATED POSITION

    A selectable location, space or physical object reference.

  4. VIRTUAL PLACEMENT

    Asset is anchored to the selected position.

  5. MAP-BASED DISCOVERY

    A map identifies where assets may be viewed.

  6. USER PHYSICALLY APPROACHES LOCATION

    Physical presence within the relevant area.

  7. AR ACCESS / VIEWING

    Asset rendered in combination with the real world.

  8. ASSET INTERACTION

    Inspection, engagement, conditioned access.

  9. PURCHASE / TRADE

    Marketplace listing, offer, bidding or trade.

  10. DIGITAL OWNERSHIP / BLOCKCHAIN PROCESS

    Ownership recorded or transferred.

A STRATEGIC IP OPPORTUNITY

This review has been prepared to identify areas of technical convergence between an emerging U.S. patent position and technologies being commercialised within the spatial digital-asset market.

The objective is not to present a legal conclusion. It is to provide sufficient technical, evidentiary and commercial information for the recipient to independently evaluate whether acquisition, licensing or another strategic transaction involving the patent portfolio warrants further consideration.
