The processes disclosed herein include, cryptographic asset template creation, template distribution, lemplate-to-cryptographie asset creation, and smart contract execution.
[0013] Summary of the Invention
[0014] The idea behind the present invention is to propose a clothing accessory that can be at the same time an element to be combined wills a dress, an object similar to a tie with an associated new jewelery element, which can be applied for example to the knot of the lie itself.
[0015] In this way, a further object would be introduced into common jewelery and accessories to be worn which could represent an element of distinction, class and fashion style for the person who wears it.
[0016] The fundamental characteristic of the present invention is to integrate NFC (Near Field Communication) technology into the above said accessory, thus allowing communication and data transmission with electronic devices present nearby, and NFT (Non Fungible Token) technology, giving the product a unique certificate of authenticity, as generally happens for pieces of art and exclusive products. In fact, a non-fungible token, similar to a digital code obtained and managed through Blockchain technology, represents the deed of ownership and the certificate of authenticity of a unique asset (digital or physical).
[0017] The combination of the above three parks: a lie including an accessory' element.; a Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and a Non Fungible Token (NFT) technology, represents a solution to a technical problem, that is: how to achieve a multipurpose device being simultaneously a valuable fashion and design product, an electronic passport enabling access to exclusive social network and related events, a certification of original and unique piece of jewelery, and an emergency communication system.
[0018] The device of the present invention, for clothing with integrated electronic means and N FC / NFT technologies proposes an important innovation on the market of wearable devices. It is a unique device enabling users to participate io exclusive events, because the owners' identity is certified. It is not just a label of products to be sold in a department store. Our device, allows the online communication addressed to an exclusive social network. NFT technology alone would implement a trivial system preventing product, to by stolen by activating an alarm. NFC technology alone would implement a trivial system preventing product to be copied by a cryptographic asset template creation. The tie including an accessory element alone would be just, a hand made jewel, or a piece of art, that could be original but nothing particularly special. Instead, the union of the three above parts achieves a unique device, integrating three simultaneous functions with a synergetic, effect of enabling a solution to a complex technical problem, and introducing a more confortable and intuitive use of technology in the field of wearable devices.
[0019] Therefore the main objective of the present invention is to propose a device composed of an accessory element and a related tie for clothing, such as to represent a stable overall structure, possibly adjustable in length, and therefore constitute a product aesthetically similar to a common tie with respective knot, which can be worn simply and easily.
[0020] Furthermore, the main objective is also to integrate NFC (Near Field Communication) technology into the above said accessory, thus allowing communication and data transmission with electronic devices present nearby, and NFT (Non Fungible Token) technology, giving the produced a unique certificate of authenticity, as generally happens for pieces of art and exclusive products.
[0021] Another objective is to include means which can open the respective housing spaces and provide for the insertion of the tie, and which can close the same housing •spaces and therefore keep the same tie stably locked inside; this possibility of inserting different lies and of different types, colours, fabrics and geometric shapes at different times therefore allows the device to be coordinated with the type and style of clothing of the clothes and other accessories worn.
[0022] Yet another objective is to include an additional tie clip element in such a way as to block and keep the tie itself under pressure stably inside.
[0023] A further objective is to include other means such as to make the product as a whole become a jewel, or an object of high fashion, or luxury clothing, or design, and therefore represents an element of distinction, class and fashion style for the person who wears it.
[0024] Yet a further objective is that the accessory element, and the lie are made using a rigid plastic-type material, or a fabric, or a metallic material or metal alloys, and the metal can be a common metal or a precious metal, such as for example gold, silver or platinum, possibly subjected to a plating and / or engraving process.
[0025] Yet another objective is that the accessory element and the tie can be subjected to a craft manufacturing process in the jewelery sector, with possible engravings of figures and ornaments in relief, possibly enriched with precious stones set in respective support elements.
[0026] Another objective of the present invention is that the above said means that integrate NFC technology and NFT technology contain an accurate copy of the product in digital format in such a way as to eliminate any possibility of replication or copying.
[0027] Yet another objective is that the same means allow communication with external devices with reference lo: owner's personal data; data relating to production, certification and technical characteristics of the product.
[0028] A further objective is that communication with external devices allows owners lo access to a social network that represents a private, certified and exclusive virtual communi ty.
[0029] Yet another objective is that this proprietary social network constitutes a system for managing access to exclusive and social events organized in real life by third parties, companies and / or institutions in charge, in which the above said device represents the equivalent of a digital passport.
[0030] Yet another objective is that communication with external devices allows owners to access lo an automatic emergency call providing the user's respective geographical location, and puts them in contact with emergency, rescue and police authorities. Therefore, it is specific subject of the present invention a device composed of an accessory element and a related tie for clothing, comprising:
