Abstract

Disclosed herein is a social media platform profile identification feature. Social media profiles are identified by digital objects instead of or in addition to more traditional indexing methods such as real names or screen names. Associating a digital object as a Social Media avatar, or as a profile detail enables the social media platform to index the digital object and enable users to search for the subject user with the digital object or descriptions thereof. A digital object generator builds unique digital objects based on the user specific input. The unique digital objects are part of a graphic presentation to users.

Claims (44)

1. A method of management of a social media profile based on a digital object comprising:

providing a first social media profile connected to a first user, the first social media profile is indexed by an application server and searchable using a search function of an association social media platform, wherein search for the social media profile is based on a query match to one or more predetermined fields of the social media profile, the one or more predetermined fields including a digital object field;

linking, in the social media platform, a cryptographic object stored on a distributed public ledger to the first social media profile in the digital object field, wherein the digital object field includes a human decipherable representation of the cryptographic object; and

in response to a search query including the human decipherable representation or a subset of the human decipherable representation of the cryptographic object, returning by the application server the first social media profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the human decipherable representation includes any combination of:

an image description;

a generation number; or

an associated dApp.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

authenticating a connection between the first user and the cryptographic object based on performance of a zero-knowledge proof based on a digital wallet linked to the cryptographic object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein an avatar image of the first social media profile is based on the cryptographic object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cryptographic object is an emoji sequence and the human decipherable representation includes the emojis of the emoji sequence.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the search query includes one or more of the emojis of the emoji sequence.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cryptographic object is an amalgamation of multiple cryptographic objects and the human decipherable representation is subdivided by each of the multiple cryptographic objects.

8. A system of management of a social media profile based on a digital object comprising:

a processor; and

a memory including instructions that when executed caused the processor to:

provide a first social media profile connected to a first user, the first social media profile is indexed by an application server and searchable using a search function of an association social media platform, wherein search for the social media profile is based on a query match to one or more predetermined fields of the social media profile, the one or more predetermined fields including a digital object field;

link, in the social media platform, a cryptographic object stored on a distributed public ledger to the first social media profile in the digital object field, wherein the digital object field includes a human decipherable representation of the cryptographic object; and

in response to a search query including the human decipherable representation or a subset of the human decipherable representation of the cryptographic object, return by the application server the first social media profile.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the human decipherable representation includes any combination of:

an image description;

a generation number; or

an associated dApp.

10. The system of claim 8 , the instructions further comprising:

authenticating a connection between the first user and the cryptographic object based on performance of a zero-knowledge proof based on a digital wallet linked to the cryptographic object.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein an avatar image of the first social media profile is based on the cryptographic object.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cryptographic object is an emoji sequence and the human decipherable representation includes the emojis of the emoji sequence.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the search query includes one or more of the emojis of the emoji sequence.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the cryptographic object is an amalgamation of multiple cryptographic objects and the human decipherable representation is subdivided by each of the multiple cryptographic objects.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored thereon that for management of a social media profile based on a digital object, that when executed by one or more processors, perform the operations of:

providing a first social media profile connected to a first user, the first social media profile is indexed by an application server and searchable using a search function of an association social media platform, wherein search for the social media profile is based on a query match to one or more predetermined fields of the social media profile, the one or more predetermined fields including a digital object field;

linking, in the social media platform, a cryptographic object stored on a distributed public ledger to the first social media profile in the digital object field, wherein the digital object field includes a human decipherable representation of the cryptographic object; and

in response to a search query including the human decipherable representation or a subset of the human decipherable representation of the cryptographic object, returning by the application server the first social media profile.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the human decipherable representation includes any combination of:

an image description;

a generation number; or

an associated dApp.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , the instructions further comprising:

authenticating a connection between the first user and the cryptographic object based on performance of a zero-knowledge proof based on a digital wallet linked to the cryptographic object.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein an avatar image of the first social media profile is based on the cryptographic object.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the cryptographic object is an emoji sequence and the human decipherable representation includes the emojis of the emoji sequence.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the search query includes one or more of the emojis of the emoji sequence.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the cryptographic object is an amalgamation of multiple cryptographic objects and the human decipherable representation is subdivided by each of the multiple cryptographic objects.
