Watch skins selection application with blockchain token
Electronic watch faces can be created in customized and associated with a block chain system. More particularly, the block chain's system uses non-fungible tokens which are in general unique, to represent the ownership of a specific watch face. Users own the token and can display the watch face only while they own the token. After selling the watch face, the token is changed to represent the new owner of the token and the original owner can no longer display the watch face at that point.
1. An electronic watch system, comprising:
a watch display carried by a wearable watch device, the watch display being configured to display visual content; and
one or more processors configured by the machine readable code to:
receive a user request from a user to present a watch face on the watch display;
verify that a blockchain wallet associated with the user holds a cryptographic token associated with the watch face, wherein the cryptographic token indicates exclusive ownership of the watch face;
responsive to verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token associated with the watch face, effectuate presentation of the watch face on the watch display, wherein the verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token indicates the user has exclusive ownership of the watch face; and
responsive to failure of verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token associated with the watch face, prevent presentation of the watch face on the watch display, wherein failure of verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token indicates the user does not have exclusive ownership of the watch face.
2. The electronic watch system as in claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured by machine readable code to effectuate purchase of the watch face by the user by facilitating a transfer of consideration on the blockchain from the wallet associated with the user in exchange for the cryptographic token associated with the watch face.
3. The electronic watch system as in claim 1 , wherein the watch face is a customized watch face with customizations including one or more of a look of numbers on the watch face, a font of the numbers, a style of the numbers, a look of clock hands, and/or a thickness of the clock hands.
4. The electronic watch system as in claim 1 , wherein the watch face includes information transmitted and displayed in real time.
5. The electronic watch system as in claim 1 , wherein the cryptographic token is a non-fungible token.
6. The electronic watch system as in claim 1 , wherein the blockchain is the Ethereum blockchain system.
7. The electronic watch system as in claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured by machine readable code to facilitate a transfer of the cryptographic token from the blockchain wallet associated with the user to another blockchain wallet associated with another user, and wherein responsive to transfer of the cryptographic token from the blockchain wallet to another blockchain wallet, exclusive ownership of the watch face is transferred from the user to the other user and the watch face is prevented from being presented on the watch display.
8. The electronic watch system as in claim 7 , wherein a change owner function of the blockchain system is used for said transfer of the cryptographic token.
9. A method of displaying a watch face on a watch display carried by a wearable watch device, the watch display being configured to display visual content, comprising:
receiving a user request from a user to present a watch face on the watch display;
verifying that a blockchain wallet associated with the user holds a cryptographic token associated with the watch face, wherein the cryptographic token indicates exclusive ownership of the watch face;
responsive to verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token associated with the watch face, effectuating presentation of the watch face on the watch display, wherein the verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token indicates the user has exclusive ownership of the watch face; and
responsive to failure of verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token associated with the watch face, preventing presentation of the watch face on the watch display, wherein failure of verification that the blockchain wallet holds the cryptographic token indicates the user does not have exclusive ownership of the watch face.
10. The method as in claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
effectuating purchase of the watch face by the user by facilitating a transfer of consideration on the blockchain from the wallet associated with the user in exchange for the cryptographic token associated with the watch face.
11. The method as in claim 9 , wherein the watch face is a customized watch face with customizations including one or more of a look of numbers on the watch face, a font of the numbers, a style of the numbers, a look of clock hands, and/or a thickness of the clock hands.
12. The method as in claim 9 , wherein the watch face includes information transmitted and displayed in real time.
13. The method as in claim 9 , wherein the cryptographic token is a non-fungible token.
14. The method as in claim 9 , wherein the blockchain is the Ethereum blockchain system.
15. The method as in claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises:
facilitating a transfer of the cryptographic token from the blockchain wallet associated with the user to another blockchain wallet associated with another user, and wherein responsive to transfer of the cryptographic token from the blockchain wallet to another blockchain wallet, exclusive ownership of the watch face is transferred from the user to the other user and the watch face is prevented from being presented on the watch display.
16. The method as in claim 15 , wherein a change owner function of the blockchain system is used for said transfer of the cryptographic token.
