Claims20
A computing device to track a lifecycle of a telecommunications device, the computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more sensors for wirelessly detecting communications from the telecommunications device and
- a computer-readable memory, wherein the computer-readable memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying, by the one or more sensors, a unique identifier associated with the telecommunication device;
- receiving lifecycle event data based on input from a user, wherein the lifecycle event data describes a currently occurring event in the lifecycle of a telecommunications device;
- automatically generating a log entry including the unique identifier and the lifecycle event data;
- and
- adding the log entry to a blockchain ledger.
A computer-implemented method of accurately tracking a lifecycle of a telecommunications device, the method comprises:
- identifying, by a computing device with one or more processors, a unique identifier associated with a telecommunication device;
- receiving, by the computing device, lifecycle event data based on input from a user, wherein the lifecycle event data describes a currently occurring event in the lifecycle of a telecommunications device;
- automatically generating, by the computing device, a log entry including the unique identifier and the lifecycle event data;
- and
- adding, by the computing device, the log entry to a blockchain ledger.
One or more non-transitory computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a unique identifier associated with a telecommunication device;
- receiving lifecycle event data based on input from a user, wherein the lifecycle event data describes a currently occurring event in the lifecycle of a telecommunications device;
- automatically generating a log entry including the unique identifier and the lifecycle event data;
- and
- adding the log entry to a blockchain ledger.
