Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for autonomous vehicles hierarchy management. In some embodiments, a system for autonomous product delivery vehicle fleet management comprises a locomotion system, a communication device, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to receive a request from a second autonomous vehicle to join the autonomous vehicle fleet, wherein the autonomous vehicle fleet comprises a master autonomous vehicle configured to coordinate tasks assigned to vehicles in the autonomous vehicle fleet, authenticate the second autonomous vehicle based on fleet rules stored in a hash chain database and update the hash chain database to add the second autonomous vehicle to the autonomous vehicle fleet, detect a master reassignment condition, and select an autonomous vehicle in the autonomous vehicle fleet as a new master autonomous vehicle based on master assignment rules stored in the hash chain database.

Abstract: Item mortality, such as failure rates and expected remaining lifespan, may be determined based on tracked environmental conditions during transit, such as vibration, temperature, and other conditions. For complex items, multiple different internal components may have varying degrees of susceptibility to damage from unfavorable conditions, with each of the components able to individually cause a failure of the entire item. Thus, the specific set of internal components may drive item mortality prediction. Sensors may be located in shipping containers that share data collected throughout the supply chain, using a blockchain, to increase confidence in the integrity of the data. The use of mortality models generated with anonymized component or process data may enable manufacturers to protect trade secrets, such as the specific components or manufacturing processes used, even while leveraging the manufacturer's detailed knowledge of an item.

Abstract: A system and a method for the verification and visualization of subcomponents in a completed assembly is disclosed. The system receives upstream product component sourcing manifest from upstream source addresses. The system receives one or more downstream product component sourcing manifest from one or more downstream source addresses. The system generates a cryptographic verifiable ledger of transaction records based on the upstream and downstream manifests and upstream and downstream source addresses. The system propagates transaction records across a network. The system retrieves the records and instantiates a display tree graph structure based on the transactions in the master cryptographic ledger.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for autonomous vehicles task management and organization. A system for organizing autonomous product delivery vehicles comprises a locomotion system of a first autonomous vehicle, a communication device, a memory device, and a control circuit. The control circuit being configured to retrieve one or more vehicle tasks assigned to the first autonomous vehicle from a hash chain database, decrypt the task parameters with a private key of the first autonomous vehicle stored on the memory device, identify a second autonomous vehicle as a transferee of the one or more vehicle tasks based on transfer rules in the task parameters, and update the hash chain database with a new block comprising a hash of preceding data in the hash chain database and the task parameters of the one or more vehicle tasks encrypted with a public key of the second autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing a smart appliance. A computing system receives, from a smart appliance associated with an appliance type, a transaction request associated with a transfer between a user and a profile manager, and determines whether a transaction ledger includes transaction data associated with a reference transaction. The reference transaction is associated with a reference configuration of an appliance associated with the appliance type. On condition that the transaction ledger includes the transaction data, the computing system transmits a configuration instruction to the smart appliance to automatically configure the smart appliance to operate in accordance with the reference configuration, and communicates with one or more nodes in a network to validate a transaction associated with the transfer.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing distributed content. A computing system constructs a permission list including a first layer defining first privileges and a second layer defining second privileges. The permission list is associated with a first transaction regarding the distributed content between a first user and a second user such that the first layer is associated with the first user and the second layer is associated with the second user. A request associated with the first transaction is transmitted to a network including one or more nodes, and a notification associated with a validation of the first transaction is received from the network. If a parameter is satisfied, a trigger is executed to modify the second layer. A notification associated with a validation of a second transaction regarding the distributed content between the first user and the second user is received.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing participation in a monitored system. A system identifies an asset associated with trigger data and authorization data. The trigger data is associated with triggers configured to execute on condition that parameters are satisfied, and the authorization data is associated with an authorization of members to perform tasks. A transaction request associated with a transfer of the asset is transmitted to a network, and a validation notification is received from the network. On condition that the first parameter is satisfied, a validation notification associated with a transfer of another asset between the participant and the member is received from the network. On condition that the second parameter is satisfied, a validation notification associated with another transfer of the asset between the participant and the first member is received from the network.
