Abstract: A method for verifying an identity of a new user of an equipment online marketplace platform is disclosed. The method may include: receiving a request from a new user to join an equipment online marketplace network to trade equipment through the equipment online marketplace platform; broadcasting a message to existing users to verify and endorse an identity of the new user to allow the new user to join the equipment online marketplace network to trade equipment through the equipment online marketplace platform; receiving endorsements of the identity of the new user from the existing users; if the identity of the new user is endorsed by a threshold number of existing users, permitting the new user to join the equipment online marketplace network and trade equipment through the equipment online marketplace platform; and storing the identity of the new user as a blockchain entry in a shared ledger.

Abstract: A method for securely enabling a user to create a listing for equipment on an equipment online marketplace platform is disclosed. The method may include: receiving a request from a user to create a listing for the equipment on the equipment online marketplace platform; prompting the user to upload one or more images or documents of the equipment; receiving the one or more images or documents of the equipment from the user, the one or more images or documents containing information of the equipment; determining whether an identity of the equipment is verified based on the information of the equipment in the one or more images or documents; and if the identity of the equipment is verified, enabling the user to create a listing for the equipment on the equipment online marketplace platform.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a digital identity of equipment on an equipment online marketplace platform is disclosed. The method may include: receiving, by a server executing the equipment online marketplace platform through a network, one or more images or documents containing information of the equipment from a user accessing the equipment online marketplace platform on a user device through the network; extracting, by the server, from the images or documents of the equipment information identifying the equipment; and generating, by the server, a blockchain entry for the equipment in a shared ledger, the blockchain entry containing the information identifying the equipment.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for monitoring an aircraft. An exemplary method involves capturing, by a computing system at a ground location, a flight tracking image associated with the aircraft that is displayed on a first display device at the ground location, and communicating the captured flight tracking image to the aircraft for display on a second display device onboard the aircraft.
