Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods for determining the value of display space in a retail store are provided. These values of display space are determined based on measured traffic densities in the retail store. Traffic density is used as a metric for real-world customer activity and customer patterns in the retail store. To determine traffic density, measurements are obtained from one or more sensors in the retail store, where the measurements include spatial information pertaining to a region of the retail store. Traffic density can provide a quantitative, accurate and unbiased metric with which to determine a value associated with displaying products in a region of the retail store.

Abstract: Methods and systems for blockchain token-based access control in which an access control rule sets an access condition that is satisfied if a wallet address holds one or more specified non-fungible tokens or tokens having specified attributes. To conduct in-person or on-location token-based gating, the system may employ pre-authentication of a wallet address. An identifier may be stored securely on both the system and a user device following pre-authentication. When seeking access, a user device provides identification data generated based on the identifier and the system verifies that the identification data was generated based on the identifier and, on that basis, retrieves a pre-authenticated wallet address. It then verifies using blockchain data that the wallet address holds the requisite token or tokens to satisfy the access condition.

Abstract: Methods and systems for access control to online resources based on non-fungible token gating. A request from a user device may trigger an access control rule having a token-based condition. The system verifies satisfaction of the token-based condition based on a wallet address provided by the user device and blockchain data obtained from a first blockchain network confirming that a non-fungible token meeting the token-based condition is associated with the wallet address. It then obtains data associated with a second blockchain network based on the non-fungible token and, in response, determines, based on the data associated with the second blockchain network, that the non-fungible token is not exhausted due to previous use of the non-fungible token. The system then processes the request from the user device and causes minting of a token on the second blockchain recording usage of the non-fungible token in an access control operation.
