Abstract
A system includes a computer having a time retrieval unit to connect to an official time provider via a network and to retrieve an official current time, a data acceptance unit to receive information regarding a target object entered via a data input interface, an encoding unit to create and encode a machine readable identifier representing the official current time and the information regarding the target object, a marking unit to mark the target object by marking the machine readable identifier to the target object and a storage unit to store data associated with the machine readable identifier in a storage in a server.
Claims29
A system, comprising:
- a processor, comprising:
- a time retrieval unit to connect to an official time provider via a network and to retrieve an official current time;
- a data acceptance unit to receive information regarding a target object entered via a data input interface;
- an encoding unit to create and encode a machine readable identifier representing the official current time and the information regarding the target object;
- a marking unit to mark the target object by marking the machine readable identifier to the target object;
- and
- a storage unit to store data associated with the machine readable identifier in a storage in a server.
A method, comprising:
- retrieving, by a computer, an official current time from an official time provider;
- accepting, by the computer, information regarding a target object;
- creating and encoding a machine readable identifier representing the official current time and the information regarding the target object;
- marking, by the computer, by marking the machine readable identifier to the target object;
- and
- storing, by the computer, data associated with the machine readable identifier in a storage in a server.
A method, comprising:
- scanning, by a scanner having a processor, a machine readable identifier from a target object;
- decoding, by the scanner, the scanned machine readable identifier into decoded data;
- determining, by the scanner, an official time of creation of the machine readable identifier and information associated with target object, by interpreting the decoded data;
- and
- storing in a computer readable storage, by the scanner, the official time of creation of the machine readable identifier and the information associated with the target object.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a request sent from a first computer to a second computer, a request to electronically notarize a target object;
- electronically notarizing, by a second computer, the target object;
- transmitting, by the second computer to the first computer, the electronically notarized target object;
- and
- deducting, by the second computer, a cost of the electronic notarization from monetary funds of the user.
