摘要: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are related to a distributed blockchain storage system for data backup and authentication. Embodiments of the distributed blockchain storage system can include a computing system and at least one electronic system. The computing system generates sequential tasks and generates a first cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a first sequence of blocks. The at least one electronic system generates a second cryptographically verifiable ledger, and in response to an unexpected termination of communication between the computing system and the at least one electronic system, perform one of execution of the last one of the plurality of sequential tasks or execution of exception handling.

摘要: Described in detail herein is an automated fulfilment system including a computing system programmed to receive requests from disparate sources for physical objects disposed at one or more locations in a facility. The computing system can combine the requests, and group the physical objects in the requests based on object types or expected object locations. Autonomous robot devices can receive instructions from the computing system to retrieve a group of the physical objects and deposit the physical objects in storage containers.

摘要: A method for tracking an item in a distributed environment is provided. At least one node in a network adds a new block to a first cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a first sequence of blocks that is stored in one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The new block added to the first cryptographically verifiable ledger contains a component identifier and a hash of a previous block in the first sequence of blocks. The at least one node in the network adds a new block to a second cryptographically verifiable ledger represented by a second sequence of blocks that is stored in the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media. The new block added to the second cryptographically verifiable ledger contains a destination identifier, the first sequence of blocks, and a hash of a previous block in the second sequence of blocks.

摘要: A method for ensuring that a computer readable information is authentic, including: generating a public key associated with the computer readable information, hashing the computer readable information to obtain a hashed computer readable information, encrypting the hashed computer readable information with a private key to create a digital signature, wherein the hashed computer readable information and the digital signature are stored on a block of a blockchain, authenticating the user computing device in response to a request from the user computing device to download the computer readable information, transmitting the public key and the digital signature to an authenticated user computing device, and instructing the authenticated user computing device to decrypt the digital signature using the public key to obtain the hashed computer readable information, and download the hashed computer readable information to the authenticated user computing system to retrieve the computer readable information.

摘要: Systems and methods for recording codes in a distributed environment are provided. A first node receives data including at least one code from a code generation computing device via a network. The first node adds a first new block to a first cryptographically verifiable encrypted ledger, the first block containing the at least one code. The first node adds a second new block to a second cryptographically verifiable, the second block containing the at least one code. The first node or a second node retrieves the at least one code from the second cryptographically verifiable unencrypted ledger. The first node or the second node analyzes the at least one code pursuant to a set of rules.

摘要: Disclosed is a system and method for tracking people in a retail store. The system uses the retail store's digital map, video cameras, unique identifiers, video analytics, geo location technology and a customer's mobile device. The unique identifiers may be labels on hats using, for example, invisible ink or magnetic ink. The digital map of the retail store is used to track people. The user of the tracking system is able to track their party throughout the store even if they the other people in the party do not have a mobile device.

摘要: Described in detail herein is an automated marking system. The autonomous robot device can locate and identify one or more cases stored in at least one of a plurality of bins in the first location of the facility, wherein each case containing a set of like physical objects. The autonomous robot device can transmit identifying information of the at least one of the one or more cases to the computing system. The computing system can determine a priority for a quantity of the first set of like physical objects to be moved from the at least one of the one or more cases to the second location of the facility. The computing system can instruct the at least one autonomous robot device to mark the at least one of the one or more cases with an identifying mark denoting the determined priority.
