  • Patent number: 11961129
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a geo-targeted online reservation system that ensures authenticity of customer devices requesting reservations by generating reservations only if threshold authentication conditions are satisfied. For example, a computing device registered with a server system receives inputs for requesting a reservation of a limited release product and for configuring the product. To authenticate the computing device, the server device transmits an electronic message to the computing device requesting the computing device to respond. A response to the message is one threshold authentication condition for generating the reservation. Upon determining that one or more threshold authentication conditions are satisfied, the server device generates a reservation for the product.

  • Patent number: 11847675
    Abstract: An innovative system and method is implemented to facilitate a blockchain based labor arbitrage. The system uses a processor to manage labor arbitrage between business operator devices and laborer devices. The method starts with a description for a job request received from a business operator device. After distributing the job description, the method receives proposals from the laborer devices. Then method matches a primary laborer device to the job description and generates a smart contract in the blockchain between the business operator device and the primary laborer device. Upon job completion, the method verifies that all job requirements plus quality standards are satisfactorily met and signatures of both the business operator device and the primary laborer device are validated, the method transmits a compensation of a predetermined type and amount of cryptographic token to the primary laborer device. With any disputes, the method further provides an arbitration process.
