Blockchain system and method for calculating location of time-crucial shipments according to expectation and smart contracts

A system for determining and reporting a location by computer-implemented system when a package is not preceding according to a shipment expectation(s), comprising:

• a package exception reporting and monitoring device adapted for being adhered to or placed within transported package shipments;
• and
• a remote computer;
• the device comprising:
• a wireless Bluetooth radio module inside the package exception reporting device that electronically pairs and associates a shipment with the attached Bluetooth package monitoring device, and a remote database(s) that store/provide to a remote computer system, an indication by shipper, recipient or designated third party that a package with device is not proceeding according to expectation schedule and/or related shipment issue(s);
• and
• setting a flag in the system indicating that the monitoring device attached to package is not preceding according to shipment exception(s) and/or has related shipment issue(s);
• and
• receiving a location in the proximity of the package monitoring device by the system, as determined from one of a plurality of remote mobile devices associated with nearby wireless connected remote mobile phone(s) or mobile communication device(s) containing a Bluetooth network module;
• and
• communicating to the system by a crowd sourced network of Bluetooth connected remote mobile phone(s) or mobile device(s) when in the proximity of device, and,
• providing the determined location reported from the remote mobile device(s) to the system to help track the location reported based on the location positioning reported to the system by the remote mobile device(s) with Bluetooth module in the proximity of the device(s);
• wherein the system determines and communicates the location of device back to the shipper, recipient or a designated third party, or the shipment parties involved in its chain of custody, by SMS and/or an alert notification message sent to a third party server, and/or mobile phone number, or other device by machine notification interface.

A blockchain method for determining and reporting a location by computer-implemented method when a package is lost, stolen or misplaced according to a shipment expectation(s), comprising:

• providing a system for determining and reporting a location by computer-implemented system when a package is not preceding according to a shipment expectation(s) comprising:
• a package exception reporting and monitoring device adapted for being adhered to or placed within transported package shipments;
• and
• a remote computer,
• the device comprising a wireless Bluetooth radio module inside the package exception reporting device that electronically pairs and associates a shipment with the attached Bluetooth package monitoring device, and a remote database(s);
• and,
• receiving by a remote computer system an indication by shipper, recipient or designated third party that a package with device is not proceeding according to expectation schedule and/or related shipment issue(s);
• and
• setting a flag in the system indicating that the monitoring device attached to package is not preceding according to shipment exception(s) and/or has related shipment issue(s);
• and
• receiving a location in the proximity of the package monitoring device by the system,
• as determined from one of a plurality of remote mobile devices associated with nearby wireless connected remote mobile phone(s) or mobile communication device(s) containing a Bluetooth network module;
• and
• communicating to the system by a crowd sourced network of Bluetooth connected remote mobile phone(s) or mobile device(s) when in the proximity of device, and,
• providing the determined location reported from the remote mobile device(s) to the system to help track the location reported based on the location positioning reported to the system by the remote mobile device(s) with Bluetooth module in the proximity of the device(s);
• wherein the system determines and communicates the location of device back to the shipper, recipient or a designated third party, or the shipment parties involved in its chain of custody, by SMS and/or an alert notification message sent to a third party server, and/or mobile phone number, or other device by machine notification interface;
• and,
• further communicating by a remote computer, the determined location based on a blockchain database system with ownership and location journey of package shipment shared and managed in an immutable and distributed ledger.
