Abstract: A system for recording events on a distributed ledger includes: a server; a terminal including a terminal processor executing an OS; and a data capture device including a housing, a data capture assembly configured to capture product data, a communication interface, a memory including a first driver and/or a firmware, and a processor executing instructions in the memory. The instructions include instructions to transmit the product data to the terminal through the communication interface. The terminal includes a second driver enabling the OS to communicate with the data capture device to accept the product data. At least one of the first and second drivers and the firmware includes a transmission flag changeable between activated and deactivated states. The activated state causes the product data to be transmitted to the server. Upon the product data satisfying a recordation condition, the product data is recorded, from the server, to the distributed ledger.

Abstract: Techniques for adjusting the strengths of signals received from a transmitter based on the transmitter's likely location are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving, by one or more processors, location information corresponding to one or more respective areas expected to be visited by an individual; receiving, by the one or more processors, measurements indicative of signal strengths of one or more signals transmitted by a transmitter associated with the individual and received by one or more receivers configured to receive one or more signals transmitted by the transmitter, the one or more receivers being positioned at respective receiver locations corresponding to one or more respective areas; and adjusting, by the one or more processors, the received measurements indicative of the signal strengths of the one or more signals transmitted by the transmitter based on the one or more respective areas expected to be visited by the individual.
