Patent number: 12148045Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts. An enforcement server may receive indications of transactions and/or events generated by one or more autonomous vehicles. The transactions and/or events may include information relating to a trigger condition and/or a decision condition associated with one or more smart contracts. The enforcement server may route the transaction to the appropriate smart contract to determine whether a trigger condition has been satisfied. When a trigger condition is satisfied, the enforcement server may automatically perform an action to enforce the smart contract and/or update the distributed ledger.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2023Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Matthew L. Floyd, Alvin Hon-Wai Yu, Antwuan Murphy, Brittney Benzio, Lindsi Brantley, Matthew S. Delaney, Matthew Vulich, Matthew S. Rodriguez, Neha Goel, Sabrina Collins, Annie Pudlo Murillo

Publication number: 20240331055Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts are provided. One or more processors may monitor one or more sensors associated with an autonomous vehicle. Based upon the outputs of the sensors, a change in condition of the autonomous vehicle may be detected. The condition may relate to operation, or an operational state of the vehicle and/or a condition associated with a smart contract. The processors may generate a transaction describing the detected change in the condition of the vehicle. The transaction may be transmitted to an enforcement server. As a result, an up-to-date ledger of autonomous vehicle and/or smart contract transactions and/or events may be maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Matthew L. Floyd, Alvin Hon-wai Yu, Antwuan Murphy, Brittney Benzio, Lindsi Brantley, Matthew S. Delaney, Matthew Vulich, Matthew S. Rodriguez, Neha Goel, Sabrina Collins, Annie Pudlo Murillo

Publication number: 20240320753Abstract: Methods and systems for building, utilizing, and/or maintaining an autonomous vehicle-related event distributed ledger or blockchain are provided. One or more processors may receive indications of autonomous vehicle events. The autonomous vehicle events may include information relating to technology usage and/or operational events. The autonomous vehicle events may be compiled into a log of recorded autonomous vehicle events. Based upon the autonomous vehicle events, an action to implement bay be determined. Additionally, the log may be distributed to a public or private network of distributed nodes. As a result, the distributed nodes may maintain an up-to-date record of the shared ledger of autonomous vehicle events.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Matthew L. Floyd, Alvin Hon-wai Yu, Antwuan Murphy, Brittney Benzio, Lindsi Brantley, Matthew S. Delaney, Matthew Vulich, Matthew S. Rodriguez, Neha Goel, Sabrina Collins, Annie Pudlo Murillo
