System and method for issuing circulation trading financial instruments with smart features
First Claim
1. A first digital wallet device comprising a token device for conducting a peer-to-peer transaction with a second digital wallet device, the token device comprising:
- a memory storing programmed instructions, a virtual financial instrument, ownership information of the virtual financial instrument, and a network address of the token device, the network address having a fixed portion and a variable portion;
a communication interface configured to communicate with a communication interface of the second wallet device via a peer-to-peer communication network; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to;
broadcast an offer signal for a virtual financial instrument stored in the token device, the offer signal including at least a portion of the stored network address;
authenticate the second digital wallet device, in response to receiving an acceptance communication from the second digital wallet device;
filter the network address of the token device to determine an intent of trading status and transferability of the virtual financial instrument; and
based on the determined intent of trading status and transferability of the virtual financial instrument;
transfer the virtual financial instrument over the peer-to-peer communication network to a receiving network address associated with the second digital wallet device without involving a remote entity device;
create a data record of transferring the virtual financial instrument from the network address of the token device to the receiving network address associated with the second digital wallet device;
update the memory of the token device to modify the ownership information of the virtual financial instrument; and

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for transferring virtual financial instruments over peer-to-peer communication networks comprising executable code which when executed by at least one processor of a token device included in a first wallet device, causes the processor to:
-
store, in a memory, a virtual financial instrument, ownership information of the virtual financial instrument, and a network address of the token device, the network address having a fixed portion and a variable portion; broadcast an offer signal for a virtual financial instrument stored in the token device of the first digital wallet device, the offer signal including at least a portion of the stored network address; authenticate second digital wallet device, in response to receiving an acceptance communication from the second digital wallet device; filter the network address of the token device to determine an intent of trading status and transferability of the virtual financial instrument; and based on the determined intent of trading status and transferability of the virtual financial instrument; transfer the virtual financial instrument over the peer-to-peer communication network to a receiving network address associated with the second digital wallet device without involving a remote entity device; create a data record of transferring the virtual financial instrument from the network address of the token device to the receiving network address associated with the second digital wallet device; update the memory of the token device to modify the ownership information of the virtual financial instrument; and communicate, after the transfer of the virtual financial instrument, the created data record to the remote entity device over the peer to peer communications network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
