Abstract: A trace history generation method includes receiving from an originating participant in a custody chain of transactions of an asset, by an intermediate participant, a trace history request for the asset. The request has an identification of an owner, data identifying the asset and a parent transaction identification in association with another of the participants, and a hash of the data. Thereafter, an identifier is assigned for the request and the request verified by interrogating a blockchain with the hash. Upon verification, a trace history document is generated including the data identifying the asset, an identifier of the intermediate participant, and a disposition of the asset including an identifier of a next nearest participant. A hash is computed for the trace history and a blockchain transaction performed recording and storing the hash in connection with the assigned identifier. Finally, the document is transmitted to the originating participant.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for inhibiting entry of unauthorized products in a supply chain. The methods and systems feature unique identifiers placed on products in the supply chain and Digitally Secured Electronic Titles (DSETs) for products. The DSETs are exchanged upon transfer of the products in the supply chain and tracked in an electronic registry.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating business-to-business transactions on a collaborative business network among a plurality of entities.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are provided for collaborative execution of business processes shared by entities and outsourced business partners providing products or services to the entities. A single software service is provided with common business process rules, a common business information schema, and a single directory of shared workspaces for registered users of all entities and outsourced partners on a publicly available server computer. The software service is managed by a third party. The users operate client devices communicating with the server computer over a global communications network to access the service. The service enables users to create collaboration workspaces. Each of the collaboration workspaces is identified in the single directory and accessible by a team of users associated with an entity and one or more outsourced business partners for one or more business processes shared by the entity and the one or more outsourced business partners.

Abstract: A Web-based buyer-driven system of commerce efficiently and inexpensively connects buyers and sellers. In general, the system includes a Web site globally accessible by potential buyers and sellers. Potential buyers post descriptions of products and services they desire on the Web site. Interested sellers of those products and services can access the descriptions posted by the buyers and selectively post responses to buyers. The responses preferably include information identifying the seller and describing the product or service offered by the seller. The system determines if the potential buyer retrieves a response directed to him from a potential seller and, if so, it charges that potential seller a small fee.

Abstract: The Check Multimedia Linking functionality provides a mechanism for users to verify that all media links to media elements in the current multimedia presentation are still valid. A media link is valid if the media element (media file or external data as in CD data) can be located. If a media element cannot be located, the check media links feature of the present invention allows users to remedy invalid media links by either locating one or more specific media elements, or by changing (adding) a path to the current search path that the media manager uses to locate media elements. Additionally, the user has the option of disabling a media element if the link cannot be found. A disabled media element will not show up in the check links list in the next verification search.
