  • Patent number: 11868321
    Abstract: A method for a server to manage data in a peer-to-peer blockchain network is described herein. The method includes generating, by a multi-tenant web server, an exchange object for the peer-to-peer blockchain network, wherein the exchange object includes a set of exchange fields and a mapping between each exchange field in the set of exchange fields and a field of a physical object associated with each peer in the peer-to-peer blockchain network; generating, by the multi-tenant web server, a transaction object based on the exchange object, wherein the transaction object includes the set of exchange fields and proposes an alternation to a physical object; and making, by the multi-tenant web server, the transaction object available to the peers in the peer-to-peer blockchain network to attempt to obtain consensus for the alteration.

  • Patent number: 11782904
    Abstract: A method for a multi-tenant server to manage data in a peer-to-peer blockchain network is described. The method includes monitoring one or more fields of a first physical object of a first tenant in the peer-to-peer blockchain network to determine when one or more conditions of a smart contract have been fulfilled; determining that one or more conditions of the smart contract have been met by the first physical object of the first tenant; and performing one or more operations of the smart contract, which are associated with the one or more conditions, in response to determining that the one or more conditions of the smart contract have been met by the first physical object of the first tenant, wherein the one or more operations are performed in relation to a second physical object of a second tenant in the peer-to-peer blockchain network.

  • Patent number: 11100091
    Abstract: A method for managing data by a multi-tenant server in a distributed network is described. The multi-tenant server manages a multi-tenant environment for a set of tenant systems and peers in the distributed network, which include the set of tenant systems and a set of non-tenant systems. The method includes receiving a tenant transaction request to modify an object in the distributed network, wherein the tenant transaction request is received from a tenant system in the set of tenant systems based on a non-tenant transaction request from a non-tenant system from the set of non-tenant systems; generating, on behalf of the tenant system and the non-tenant system, a transaction object based on an exchange object and the tenant transaction request; and making, on behalf of the tenant system, the transaction object available to the sets of tenant non-tenant systems to attempt to obtain consensus for modifying the object.

  • Patent number: 10911516
    Abstract: Techniques for metadata-driven dynamic content serving. Metadata content is stored as a source instance. The metadata content is utilized to provide dynamically-constructed pages. The metadata content is published to runtime pods communicatively coupled to receive the metadata content. The source instance includes a metadata definition repository and is a primary source of dynamic data for serving pages in the runtime pods. The runtime pods are groups of multiple servers that act as a single entity to dynamically generate metadata-driven content in response to requests received from client devices. A request for content is received with a selected one of the runtime pods for a specific site. The specific site is mapped to a user identified by a user identifier. The user identifier is utilized to retrieve site metadata from a site metadata server. Content is provided in response to the request with the selected runtime pod utilizing the metadata content.
