Such separate third-party systems can be used for authentication and authorization and may facilitate the ability to tailor, define, implement, and enforce rights and rules. Examples of third-party rights databases include physical property ownership databases (property title, records, MLS, etc.), social media networks, lease/rental databases, and identity databases (i.e., for birth certificates, social security, credit records, passport information, state identification and license information, facial recognition and other biometrics, and law enforcement information). Other examples include likeness databases (for individuals, brands and places), patent databases, trademark databases, copyright databases, privacy databases, domain registries, family registries, privacy rule databases, zoning law databases, and databases related to affinity groups.
Accessing these third-party databases may assist in determining which actors should be allowed (or restricted) from gaining certain rights in the xR registry. For example, if an individual owns the physical property of a home, it may not be appropriate for another individual to try to take ownership of (and ‘squat’ on) the virtual rights associated with that physical location. Thus, it may be useful to be able to properly identify an individual attempting to access the property.
Similarly, when it comes to enforcement and automated compliance, such third party databases can be used to improve the intelligence of such enforcement and compliance processes, and the data from these third party databases can be used to train automated processes and models on how to identify situations where someone is attempting to create or apply a right (or create an xR experience) that might be inconsistent with other types of ownership rights or compliance as identified in these third party databases.
