Patent number: 12242421Abstract: The present specification discloses a blockchain computer application. This blockchain computer application includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that supports the organization and blockchaining of files to a blockchain. This GUI includes a virtual blockchain organizational tool onto which users can drag and drop files and organize them into various virtual blockchain blocks without permanently attaching those files to an actual blockchain until the virtual blockchain is converted to an actual blockchain. The conversion process preserves the organizational structure of the files set within the virtual blockchain. Files may also be automatically blockchained to a specific blockchain by dragging them and dropping them onto a blockchain application desktop icon. Files may also be automatically blockchained to specific blockchains by dragging them and dropping them onto a blockchain icon within the GUI where each blockchain icon is directly associated with a separate blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Inventor: Tyson York Winarski

Patent number: 12235634Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a system and method for managing the security of an edge enclosure. The edge enclosure is deployed in a mobile environment and travels between a base location and a task location to perform a task. The task is defined and configured at a chassis manager by a management device. A server in the edge enclosure processes data associated with the task. The chassis manager detects a loss of communication between the chassis manager and the management device. The chassis manager performs a security action based on task status. The task status is either ongoing or completed. The security action performed at the edge enclosure protects the data present in the server from tampering. The management device transmits alerts to the customers of the edge enclosure after the task is completed.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Bharath Ramesh, Justin York
