    Abstract: A control method according to the present disclosure is executed by a first server of servers in a system including one or more IoT devices and the servers. The method includes: obtaining first transaction data including malfunction information indicating that one of the IoT devices is malfunctioning, and time information indicating a time when the IoT device has obtained the malfunction information; transferring the obtained first transaction data to second servers different from the first server; executing, together with the second servers, a first consensus algorithm for an agreement on an authenticity of the first transaction data; and recording a block containing the first transaction data in a distributed ledger of the first server, when the authenticity of the first transaction data is verified by the first consensus algorithm.

    Abstract: A management system includes: a right holder information storage unit which stores right holder information about a right holder entitled to use a delivery locker device; an agreement formation unit which creates a block of a blockchain that includes a processing instruction, and stores the block into a block storage unit; a terminal device which transmits an assignment processing instruction; a process execution unit which, when obtaining the assignment processing instruction included in the block, updates the current right holder included in the right holder information; and a condition checking unit which, when determining that the condition for assignment fails to be met, creates a return processing instruction and transmits the return processing instruction to the agreement formation unit. When obtaining the return processing instruction included in the block, the process execution unit updates the right holder information.

    Abstract: Provided is a management system including vehicles and authentication servers. A vehicle includes a communication circuit, multiple electronic control units connected to an in-vehicle network, a detection circuit, and a transaction data generating circuit. The detection circuit detects a replacement of one or more electronic control units. The transaction data generating circuit generates transaction data including an identifier that uniquely identifies each of the replaced electronic control units. An authentication server includes a communication circuit, and a verifying circuit that verifies validity of the transaction data obtained by the vehicle. The authentication server also includes a recording circuit that, upon verifying that the first transaction data is valid by the verifying unit, records the transaction data in a recording device.

    Abstract: An authentication server authenticates a voter using authentication data including a first identifier (ID) associated with the voter and authentication information regarding the voter. The authentication server further synchronizes a first blockchain. The first blockchain includes first transaction data indicating that the voter has been authenticated with one or more of other authentication servers. A voting server receives, from a terminal, voting data including a second ID associated with a vote cast by the voter and voting information indicating the vote. The voting server synchronizes a second blockchain including, as second transaction data, the voting information included in the voting data with one or more of other voting servers. The terminal transmits the authentication data to the authentication server and, after the authentication is successfully completed, transmits the voting data to the voting server.

    Abstract: An information provision method includes accumulating, in a first database, a first identifier identifying each of one or more service providers, and first device information indicating an electrical device to be designated by each of the one or more service providers in association with each other; accumulating, in a second database, a second identifier identifying each of one or more users, and second device information indicating an electrical device to be used by the one or more users in association with each other; extracting a service provider associated with the first device information when the second device information is updated by addition of a new electrical device to be used by one of the one or more users, and when the new electrical device is included in the electrical devices indicated by the first device information.
