  • Publication number: 20240097879
    Abstract: A method of blockchain-based data management of distributed binary objects. The method includes identifying a binary object associated with a blockchain. The method includes storing the binary object in a first data store responsive to identifying the binary object. The method includes storing a reference to the binary object on the blockchain. The method includes generating, responsive to an interaction with the reference to the binary object and based on the binary object and a different binary object from a different data store, an additional binary object having a data size that exceeds a maximum data size associated with each block of the blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11757663
    Abstract: A method includes identifying a binary file to be executed on a client device. The method further includes comparing, by a processing device, the binary file to an authenticated version of the binary file stored on a blockchain, in response to identifying the binary file and before executing the binary file. The method further includes, in response to determining that the binary file and the authenticated version of the binary file match, executing the binary file. The method further includes, in response to determining that the binary file and the authenticated version of the binary file do not match, triggering a predefined remedial action.

  • Patent number: 11650329
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asset travel monitoring are provided. An example method for asset travel monitoring involves monitoring a motion sensor of an asset tracking device located at an asset to determine whether the asset has entered into a travelling state, upon determination that the asset has entered into the travelling state, monitoring the motion sensor to determine whether the asset has left the travelling state, and, upon determination that the asset has left the travelling state, obtaining a present location of the asset tracking device and transmitting the present location to a remote server.

  • Patent number: 11552495
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for temperature-dependent charging of supercapacitor energy storage units of asset tracking devices are provided. An example method for temperature-dependent charging involves obtaining a temperature reading measured at an asset tracking device, the asset tracking device located at an asset to monitor travel of the asset, determining a target voltage for a supercapacitor energy storage unit of the asset tracking device based on the temperature reading to balance utilization of a capacity of the supercapacitor energy storage unit against temperature-dependent deterioration of the supercapacitor energy storage unit, and controlling a charging interface of the asset tracking device to charge the supercapacitor energy storage unit to the target voltage.

  • Publication number: 20210326807
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for monitoring asset tracking devices that travel together are provided. An example method for monitoring asset tracking devices that travel together involves obtaining a first travel history of a first asset tracking device, obtaining a second travel history of a second asset tracking device, determining, based on the first and second travel histories, whether the first asset tracking device and the second asset tracking device travel together, and, upon determination that the first asset tracking device and the second asset tracking device travel together, linking the first asset tracking device and the second asset tracking device together in an asset tracking database to indicate that the first asset tracking device and the second asset tracking device travel together.
