SYSTEM AND PROTOCOL FOR PROGRAMMATIC INHERITANCE OF DIGITAL ASSETS

摘要

An asset management system implements machine-based management and transfer of digital assets. The system enables creation and storage of digital assets, which can be accessed and/or modified by one or more authenticated users. The asset management system enables designation of one or more inheriting users to have access to the digital asset(s) in the event that a programmatic trigger condition is satisfied. In response to input from a user, the asset management system creates one or more programmatic trigger conditions with various inputs which must be satisfied in order for a digital asset transfer to take place. The asset management system defines one or more actions to take place upon a determination that the programmatic trigger condition(s) is satisfied. Permissions associated with the digital asset(s) can be modified to authorize one or more inheriting users to access the digital assets in a manner authorized by a primary user. A variety of other automated actions can be defined by the system to occur in association with execution of the digital asset transfer.

主权项

1. A system for programmatic inheritance of digital assets, comprising:
a computer processor; an account management module configured to create, for a primary user, a primary user account referencing a first digital asset; and an inheritance module executing on a computer processor and configured to cause the computer processor to:
configure permissions designating a first inheriting user as an inheritor of the first digital asset, wherein the primary user is authorized to access the first digital asset and the first inheriting user is not authorized to access the first digital asset;define at least one programmatic trigger condition for determining that a digital asset transfer should occur;receive a request to execute the programmatic trigger condition, wherein the request comprises credentials corresponding to a trusted source;determine that the programmatic trigger condition is satisfied based on the credentials; andin response to determining that the programmatic trigger condition is satisfied, authorize the first inheriting user to access the first digital asset.
