Video Game Integration Of Cryptographically Secured Digital Assets

A method of integrating a cryptographically secured digital asset into a digital video game application includes receiving a digital asset identification (ID) code representative of cryptographically secure digital asset. The digital asset ID code exists together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, and includes a code string segmented into a series of code subsets. A first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset. The digital asset ID code is provided to a virtual object generator, which returns a virtual object constructed from the first plurality of the code subsets of the unique owner ID code, and where the virtual object further including a plurality of object attributes. At least one of the character attributes is then modified according to at least one of the object attributes.

2 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method of integrating a cryptographically secured digital asset into a digital video game application, the digital video game application including code that, when executed, displays a character on a display associated with a user device, the character being operably controlled by a user via the user device and including a plurality of character attributes, the method comprising: receiving a digital asset identification (ID) code, the digital asset ID code existing together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, the digital asset ID code including a code string segmented into a series of code subsets, wherein a first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset; providing the digital asset ID code to a virtual object generator; receiving, from the virtual object generator, a virtual object constructed from the first plurality of the code subsets of the unique owner ID code, the virtual object further including a plurality of object attributes; representing the virtual object on the display; and modifying at least one of the character attributes according to at least one of the object attributes.

  • 11. A gaming system comprising: a display; and a processor coupled with the display, the processor configured to execute a digital video game application that receives a user input to control a virtual character within an environment, wherein: the character includes a plurality of character attributes that affect how the character behaves, responds, or performs within the environment or how the character interacts with other characters existing within the environment; the character and environment are both displayed to the user via the display, and wherein the processor is further configured to: receive a digital asset identification (ID) code representative of a cryptographically secured digital asset, the digital asset ID code stored together with a unique owner ID code on a distributed blockchain ledger, the digital asset ID code including a code string segmented into a series of code subsets, wherein a first plurality of the code subsets includes data indicative of a plurality of attributes of the digital asset; provide the digital asset ID code to a virtual object generator; receive, from the virtual object generator, a virtual object constructed from the first plurality of the code subsets of the unique owner ID code, the virtual object further including a plurality of object attributes; display the virtual object on the display; and modify at least one of the character attributes according to at least one of the object attributes.
