  • Patent number: 12597002
    Abstract: A method of creating a SMARTPASS with computed estimated value including, a SmartHub computer processor system and data network, method including: receiving electronic requests to validate/authorize members and a purchase reporting request from a buyer and a financing request from a supplier engaged in a trade transaction over the network; determining if the electronic requests from the buyer and supplier are authorized, if so, creating the SMARTPASS with computed estimated value on the purchase reporting request; saving/minting the SMARTPASS as a non-fungible token, assigning an initial NFT value; computing the estimated value, tariff, taxes, or other fees; updating a database of the SMARTPASS, NFT, and initial NFT value with updated value; determining if financing requested, and if so: posting an NFT proxy to a second blockchain public NFT repository, notifying parties of financing options, and notifying FinTech, DeFi or decentralized Lenders; or if not notifying FinTech, DeFi or decentralized Lenders.

  • Patent number: 12585445
    Abstract: A method codifies data, programs, rule-based, state-based application software for automatic deployment, in distributed computing environment, including programming/assignment Production Rules as code for processing data/events for cargo port shipments, through Customs and Finance Processing referred to as supply chain financing; programming and deploying FiniteStateMachine (FSM) implementing state-based application components; deployment is collection of distributed software AppNodeServices (ANS) that collectively comprise an FSM. Each AppNode is at least a single state of FSM. AppNode contains programmable Rules loadable dynamically through the processes. Shipment data is received and collected from one or more data sources including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), other Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) messaging, web service Application Programming Interface (API) calls, Internet Of Things (IoT) messaging, remote file copies, and tracking sensors.

  • Patent number: 12574250
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of automatic event and user-driven event triggers digital notarization on the data and documents on one or more blockchains, according to example embodiments. A method may combine a novel method of additional digital notary functions with existing hash algorithms, digital or electronic signature technologies, secured data or document storage and may add the novelty of assigning notary requirements to a digital asset in a digital dossier. Embodiments may include a digital asset with an aggregation of a digital dossier, notary specification, a notary party group, event-driven automated notary process, a multi-party automated notary process, and a multi-notary notary process. The notary specification may identify the items in the dossier that must, according an example embodiment, apply a notary, signature requirements, and other settings. The method may be applied for the lifecycle of activities for an asset independent of the time duration of the life of the asset.

  • Publication number: 20250021350
    Abstract: A method, system, computer program product of providing a FiniteStateMachine (FSM) with embedded business rules, processing data & events, where each state is individually saved to blockchain ledger, a data record including a unique identifier/name, a set of input field(s) or input data slots, state rules in a rule language, and set of output field names or output data slots, method including: executing of a Smart Contract by identifying state by id or name, loading corresponding Component State from blockchain, adding/executing code for processing the State's behavior, where the code includes rules for the state in the rule language (e.g., but not limited to. Open Policy Agent, Rego, Prolog, DataLog, RuleML, Drools Rule Language, NRules, and JavaScriptObjectNotation(JSON), etc.). System includes processor(s), application program interface (API(s)) for communicating, blockchain, rule processor, and memory.

  • Publication number: 20250021924
    Abstract: A method of using a FiniteStateMachine(FSM) for processing data/events for CustomsCargoShipments, using distributed SWAppNodeServices(ANS) where each AppNode is an FSM state, and each ANS is deployed as independent operating service BusinessRules for assigned state. RulesEngine(RE) executes rules, combines incoming event data with existing shipment data(SmartPass), obtained from ShipmentRecordDatabase. When transaction event arrives, SmartPassState(SPS) determined, event routed to ANS process specifically for SPS. At ANS, event data combined with SmartPassData and RuleSet processed through RE. After completed, RE results, data values(DV) and action identifiers(AI), become TransactionRequest(TR) for action, routed to MatchedActionService (MAS), authenticated, executed based on data details.
