THE CONVERGENCE OF PHYSICAL LOCATION, DIGITAL ASSETS AND AUGMENTED REALITY
U.S. Patent Application No. 18/856,095
Computer-Implemented System and Method for Providing a Digital Asset Marketplace
US 2025/0245933 A1
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.
Orchestration thesis
The value of the position lies in the connected sequence, not in any single function within it.
Central architectural sequence
OWNER
Party holding a digital asset.
DIGITAL ASSET
Image, video, audio, 3D object, NFT or collectible.
SELECT PHYSICAL / GEO-LOCATED POSITION
A selectable location, space or physical object reference.
VIRTUAL PLACEMENT
Asset is anchored to the selected position.
MAP-BASED DISCOVERY
A map identifies where assets may be viewed.
USER PHYSICALLY APPROACHES LOCATION
Physical presence within the relevant area.
AR ACCESS / VIEWING
Asset rendered in combination with the real world.
ASSET INTERACTION
Inspection, engagement, conditioned access.
PURCHASE / TRADE
Marketplace listing, offer, bidding or trade.
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.
Converging on: PATENT POSITION EVALUATION
WHAT THE PATENT DESCRIBES, END TO END
The commercial significance lies in the orchestration of location, digital assets, AR interaction and digital commerce into one connected system architecture.
