Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for extended reality (XR) control of smart devices. An example method can include generating, by a first computing device, a cryptographic key; outputting, by the first computing device, a pattern that encodes the cryptographic key, the pattern including a visual pattern, an audio pattern, and/or a light pattern; receiving, by the first computing device from a second computing device, a signed message including a command to modify an operation of the first computing device; determining, by the first computing device, whether the signed message is signed with the cryptographic key encoded in the pattern; and based on a determination that the signed message is signed with the cryptographic key encoded in the pattern, modifying the operation of the first computing device according to the command in the signed message.

Extended reality control of smart devices

Systems, methods, and non-transitory media are provided for localizing and mapping smart devices. An example method can include receiving, by an extended reality (XR) device, an identification output from a connected device that is coupled directly or indirectly to the XR device, the identification output including an audio pattern, a display pattern, and/or a light pattern; detecting the identification output from the connected device; and based on the identification output from the connected device, mapping the connected device in a coordinate system of the XR device.

Mapping networked devices

Systems and techniques are described for token device transfer management. A system identifies, in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger, a token corresponding to media content. A parameter of the token in the distributed ledger indicates that the token is associated with a first user. The system identifies a device that is associated with the token and the media content. The device is also associated with the first user. The system identifies that the device has been relocated to an area associated with a second user. In response to identifying that the device has been relocated to the area, the system causes the parameter of the token in the distributed ledger to be modified from indicating that the token is associated with the first user to indicating that the token is associated with the second user.

Systems and methods for management of non-fungible tokens and corresponding digital assets

Systems and techniques are described for situational token-associated media output. A system receives sensor data captured by at least one sensor of a media device. The system identifies, based on the sensor data, a relationship between the media device and an anchor element that is associated with a token. The system identifies the token in a payload of at least one block of a distributed ledger. The token corresponds to media content according to the distributed ledger. The system generates a representation of the media content corresponding to the token. In response to identifying the relationship between the media device and the anchor element, the system outputs the representation of the media content.

Methods and apparatus for accessing licensable items unique to a geographic area via a wireless device are provided. The method and apparatus may include obtaining access to licensable items available in a first location of the wireless device. The methods and apparatus may further include downloading a licensable item. The licensable item is associated with a license providing the wireless device with a right to distribute the licensable item. The methods and apparatus may also include leaving a virtual copy of the licensable item in a second location of the wireless device different from the first location using the right to distribute.

Methods and systems for accessing licensable items in a geographic area

A device controls a lighting condition of smart objects. A networking framework is executed on the device and the smart objects. An RF signal is broadcast from the device to the smart objects. The signal requests the objects to transmit an ultrasound signal. Ultrasound signals from the objects are received in the device via microphones. A range and direction to each object may be determined based on reception times of the ultrasound signals. A map of the location of the objects is generated. The objects are controlled, via the networking framework, based on the map. A user interface overlay that shows the current lighting condition and location of objects using icons is presented on the device display. The icons are interactive controls for the objects, which may be interacted with for control of the corresponding object. The objects may be manually or automatically controlled to achieve a lighting condition.

Methods, devices, and systems for controlling smart lighting objects to establish a lighting condition

A wireless device receives a list of available themes and premium content from an activation server. The wireless device may select a theme for download and activation. The activation server verifies that the wireless device has access to the theme or premium content and then authorizes the wireless device to activate the theme or premium content. If the theme or premium content is not resident on the wireless device, the activation server may transmit the theme or premium content to the wireless device.
