US10581592

1. A method, comprising: (3) (6)

initiating a session between one or more users;

identifying an active game status associated with the one or more users during the session;

creating a link to the active games status, wherein the link identifies an active game session to be accessed by the one or more users;

storing the link in a blockchain;

creating a message comprising the link to the active game status; and

broadcasting the message to a plurality of potential users.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the session comprises one or more of a chat session, an application sharing session and a multi-player gaming session. (0)

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (1) (3)

determining whether a local blockchain exists for the active game status of user activities;

if not, creating the local blockchain; and

storing the active game status of the user activities and an environment associated with a current user status in the local blockchain.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising: (0) (3)

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (1) (2)

determining the active game status of user activities requires updates to the blockchain based on an event type associated with the user activities; and

storing the active game status of the user activities in the blockchain.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising: (1) (1)

8. An apparatus, comprising: (4) (3)

memory comprising a set of instructions; and

a processor, wherein

the set of instructions are configured to cause the processor to: initiate a session between one or more users;

identify an active game status associated with the one or more users during the session;

create a link to the active games status, wherein the link identifies an active game session to be accessed by the one or more users;

store the link in a blockchain;

create a message comprising the link to the active game status; and

broadcast the message to a plurality of potential users.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the session comprises one or more of a chat session, an application sharing session and a multi-player gaming session. (0)

10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the set of instructions are further configured to cause the processor to: (1) (3)

determine whether a local blockchain exists for the active game status of user activities;

if not, create the local blockchain; and

store the active game status of the user activities and an environment associated with a current user status in the local blockchain.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the set of instructions are further configured to cause the processor to: (0) (3)

12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the set of instructions are further configured to cause the processor to: (0) (2)

13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the set of instructions are further configured to cause the processor to: (1) (1)

identify the active game status of user activities comprises an instance of private messaging.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the set of instructions are further configured to cause the processor to: (0) (2)

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform: (4) (6)

initiating a session between one or more users;

identifying an active game status associated with the one or more users during the session;

creating a link to the active games status, wherein the link identifies an active game session to be accessed by the one or more users;

storing the link in a blockchain;

creating a message comprising the link to the active game status; and

broadcasting the message to a plurality of potential users.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the session comprises one or more of a chat session, an application sharing session and a multi-player gaming session. (0)

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: (1) (3)

determining whether a local blockchain exists for the active game status of user activities;

if not, creating the local blockchain; and

storing the active game status of the user activities and an environment associated with a current user status in the local blockchain.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: (0) (3)

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: (0) (2)

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform: (0) (3)
