Abstract
According to one exemplary implementation, a collector container includes processing hardware, an output device controlled by the processing hardware; and a memory storing a digital wallet. The collector container is configured to uniquely store a non-fungible token (NFT) in the digital wallet, the NFT certifying ownership of an NFT asset. The collector container is further configured to store the NFT asset in the memory, and to display the NFT asset using the output device.
Background
BACKGROUND (1) The technology known as a non-fungible token (NFT) enables individual artists and companies to sell ownership rights to a digital asset, such as a file containing a photo or other image, video, audio, or any other desirable digital representation. The owner of an NFT and its associated asset can access the asset via the cloud, to display to others as part of a personal gallery, or both. However, despite the pride of ownership of a digital asset that owning an NFT may provide. NFT owners at present lack any way of physically engaging with or physically possessing that digital asset.
Claims
1. A collector container comprising: a power source; a processing hardware; and an output device comprising at least one of a speaker or a display screen; and a memory storing a digital wallet; wherein the collector container is configured to: uniquely store a non-fungible token (NFT) in the digital wallet, the NFT certifying ownership of a first NFT asset stored in the memory; uniquely store, in the memory, NFT credentials including all of one or more keys certifying ownership of the first NFT asset, such that only the collector container stores all of the one or more keys including any and all private and public keys; store the first NFT asset in the memory, wherein the first NFT asset includes a first digital file containing at least one of a first image, a first audio, or a first video; communicatively couple the collector container with another collector container including a second NFT asset having a second digital file containing at least one of a second image, a second audio, or a second video; and sequentially or concurrently perform at least one of displaying the first image, playing the first audio, or playing the first video, using the output device in synchronization with the another collector container that is communicatively coupled to the collector container and performing the at least one of displaying the second image, playing the second audio, or playing the second video; wherein the collector container is a physical device, and wherein uniquely storing all of the one or more keys certifying ownership of the first NFT asset in the memory of the collector container results in physical possession of the collector container uniquely determining ownership of the NFT. ||
10. A collector container comprising: a power source; a processing hardware; an output device comprising at least one of a speaker or a display screen; a wireless communication unit; and a memory storing a software code and a digital wallet; the processing hardware configured to execute the software code to: obtain, using the wireless communication unit, a non-fungible token (NFT) certifying ownership of a first NFT asset; receive, based on the NFT, the first NFT asset, wherein the first NFT asset includes a digital file containing at least one of a first image, a first audio, or a first video; uniquely store the NFT in the digital wallet; store the first NFT asset in the memory; uniquely store, in the memory, NFT credentials including all of one or more keys certifying ownership of the first NFT asset, such that only the collector container stores all of the one or more keys including any and all private and public keys; communicatively couple the collector container with another collector container including a second NFT asset having a second digital file containing at least one of a second image, a second audio, or a second video; and sequentially or concurrently perform at least one of displaying the first image, playing the first audio, or playing the first video, using the output device in synchronization with the another collector container that is communicatively coupled to the collector container and performing the at least one of displaying the second image, playing the second audio, or playing the second video; wherein the collector container is a physical device, and wherein uniquely storing all of the one or more keys securing the NFT in the memory of the collector container results in physical possession of the collector container uniquely determining ownership of the NFT.
