Abstract

Systems and methods to create a customized watch face and retrieve the watch face to be displayed are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may effectuate presentation of a selection interface; receive a mint request to mint the watch face in accordance with a watch face design; effectuate a transfer of consideration from a user wallet to an administrative wallet; mint the watch face; transfer a non-fungible token to the user wallet; receive a display request to display the watch face on a watch screen; determine whether the user wallet holds a non-fungible token associated with the watch face; responsive to the user wallet holding the non-fungible token, facilitate display of the watch face on the watch screen; responsive to the user wallet not holding the non-fungible token, take no action to facilitate display of the watch face on the watch screen; and/or perform other operations.

Claims (27)

1. A system configured to retrieve a watch face to be displayed, the system comprising:

one or more processors configured by machine readable instructions to:

receive a display request to display the watch face on a watch screen, wherein the display request indicates the specific watch face;

responsive to receiving the display request, determine whether a user wallet for a decentralized ledger holds a non-fungible token associated with the specific watch face, the user wallet being associated with the user that provided the display request; and

responsive to the user wallet holding the non-fungible token associated with the watch face, facilitate display of the watch face on the watch screen, wherein facilitating display of the watch face includes initiating transmission of information to the watch screen that causes the watch screen to display the watch face.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein, responsive to the user wallet holding the non-fungible token, the user is capable of selling, trading, and transferring ownership of the watch face to another user.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized ledger is configured to record information pertaining to watch faces, wherein the recorded information includes ownership of the watch faces through holding of non-fungible tokens associated with the watch faces, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured such that at least some actions taken by the user to sell, trade, buy, or transfer watch faces effectuate modifications to the recorded information pertaining to the watch faces.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the watch face is a customized watch face that is generated in accordance with a watch face design defined by values of watch face features, wherein the values of watch face features determine the appearance of the customized watch face.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein watch face features include one or more of hour hands, minute hands, backsplash, dials, subdials, hour markers, weather displays, or date displays.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the values of watch face features defining the watch face design are selected by a user through a selection interface or randomly determined.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the watch face is associated with a watch face record, wherein the watch face record includes a watch face identifier that is unique to the watch face.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the decentralized ledger includes recorded information associated with watch faces, wherein the recorded information includes ownership rights and distribution rights.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user wallet is linked to an external wallet, wherein the user wallet retrieves funds from and deposits funds to the external wallet, and wherein the external wallet allows the user to manage funds on a public decentralized ledger.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the public decentralized ledger is part of either EOSIO mainnet, Ethereum mainnet, Ethereum 1.5, Ethereum 2.0, a derivative of Ethereum 2.0 that is configured to perform transactions of Ether (ETH) between accounts, or a derivative of EOSIO that is configured to perform transactions of EOS between different accounts.

11. A method for retrieving a watch face to be displayed, the method comprising:

receiving a display request to display the watch face on a watch screen, wherein the display request indicates the specific watch face;

responsive to receiving the display request, determining whether a user wallet for a decentralized ledger holds a non-fungible token associated with the specific watch face, the user wallet being associated with the user that provided the display request; and

responsive to the user wallet holding the non-fungible token associated with the watch face, facilitating display of the watch face on the watch screen, wherein facilitating display of the watch face includes initiating transmission of information to the watch screen that causes the watch screen to display the watch face.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein, responsive to the user wallet holding the non-fungible token, the user is capable of selling, trading, and transferring ownership of the watch face to another user.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the decentralized ledger is configured to record information pertaining to watch faces, wherein the recorded information includes ownership of the watch faces through holding of non-fungible tokens associated with the watch faces, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured such that at least some actions taken by the user to sell, trade, buy, or transfer watch faces effectuate modifications to the recorded information pertaining to the watch faces.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the watch face is a customized watch face that is generated in accordance with a watch face design defined by values of watch face features, wherein the values of watch face features determine the appearance of the customized watch face.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein watch face features include one or more of hour hands, minute hands, backsplash, dials, subdials, hour markers, weather displays, or date displays.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the values of watch face features defining the watch face design are selected by a user through a selection interface or randomly determined.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the watch face is associated with a watch face record, wherein the watch face record includes a watch face identifier that is unique to the watch face.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the decentralized ledger includes recorded information associated with watch faces, wherein the recorded information includes ownership rights and distribution rights.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user wallet is linked to an external wallet, wherein the user wallet retrieves funds from and deposits funds to the external wallet, and wherein the external wallet allows the user to manage funds on a public decentralized ledger.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the public decentralized ledger is part of either EOSIO mainnet, Ethereum mainnet, Ethereum 1.5, Ethereum 2.0, a derivative of Ethereum 2.0 that is configured to perform transactions of Ether (ETH) between accounts, or a derivative of EOSIO that is configured to perform transactions of EOS between different accounts.
