    Abstract: A control method of controlling, using a distributed ledger, locking or unlocking of one or more storage units, in each of which an item is storable, includes: operating a first smart contract and one or more second smart contracts by a code, stored in the distributed ledger, being executed by a computer, the first smart contract managing the one or more second smart contracts that are in one-to-one correspondence with the one or more storage units; controlling, by each of the one or more second smart contracts, locking or unlocking of a corresponding one of the one or more storage units, the controlling being performed under the management by the first smart contract; and controlling, by the first smart contract, whether to place each of the one or more second smart contracts under the management.

    Abstract: A driving management system includes an authentication server, and a vehicle capable of switching between a manual driving mode and an automatic driving mode. The vehicle includes multiple electronic control processors connected to a network inside the vehicle, a first processor that detects switching between the manual driving mode and the automatic driving mode, based on messages issued by one or more electronic control processors of the multiple electronic control processors, and the first processor generates first transaction data including information indicating the detected switching, and a first identifier indicating the vehicle, and transmitting the first transaction data to the authentication server. The authentication server includes a second processor that judges the validity of transaction data including the first transaction data obtained from the vehicle, and the second processor records the transaction data, of which the validity has been verified by the second processor, in a storage device.

    Abstract: An electronic voting system including a terminal, authentication servers, and voting servers is provided. Each authentication server includes an authentication processor that authenticates a voter using authentication data including a first identifier associated with the voter and authentication information regarding the voter, and a first synchronizer that synchronizes a first blockchain including first transaction data indicating that the voter has been authenticated. Each voting server includes a voting processor that receives, from the terminal, voting data including a second identifier associated with a vote cast by the voter, and voting information indicating the vote. Each voting server further includes a second synchronizer that synchronizes a second blockchain including second transaction data and dummy transaction data with at least one other voting server. The terminal transmits the authentication data to each authentication server and transmits the voting data to at least one of the voting servers.

    Abstract: A control method includes: receiving first information pertaining to a first contract from a first terminal used by a first user who is one of two parties who have agreed to the first contract; when consent of a party aside from the two parties is required to validate the first contract, identifying a second user as the party aside from the two parties with reference to a ledger storing information pertaining to a past contract, and transmitting the first information to a second terminal operated by the second user; obtaining second information in which a confirmation result indicating whether the second user consents to the first contract and a digital signature of the second user are added to the first information; and confirming the second information, and when the confirmation result indicates consent, setting the first contract as a valid contract and storing the second information in the ledger.

    Abstract: A control method according to the present disclosure includes: receiving, from a terminal operated by a first user who is one of parties that have concluded a first contract, first transaction data that includes a first smart contract corresponding to the first contract and a first electronic signature associated with the first user; executing a consensus algorithm with a plurality of other servers; and recording a block including the first transaction data in a distributed ledger. The first smart contract includes (i) content of the first contract which is a main contract, (ii) a variable that is provisional and used for identifying a second smart contract corresponding to a second contract which is to be newly concluded as a sub contract of the first contract, and (iii) a condition for creation of the second smart contract.
