Abstract
Systems and methods for confirming the presence of a person or asset for a given purpose, and recording this information in a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger records and confirms presence indicia in connection with a transaction said facilitates remote and/or automated signatures. The systems and methods detect the presence of one or more humans and/or computing devices at a specific location at the time of a transaction, and contemporaneously recording information concerning the transaction in a distributed ledger. Presence can be determined using network presence sensing (NPS), other types of sensors, or the combination of NPS with other sensors.
Claims30
A method for documenting the presence of a human and computing device at a particular place and time comprising:
- providing a first set of one or more sensors disposed at a location and adapted to detect the presence of a human at said location;
- providing a second set of one or more sensors disposed at said location and adapted to detect the presence of a computing device at said location;
- providing a distributed ledger adapted to record timestamped records;
- detecting, using said first set of one or more sensors, a human present at said location;
- detecting, using said second set of one or more sensors, a computing device at said location;
- posting to said distributed ledger a timestamped record indicating said detected presence of said human at said location and said detected presence of said computing device at said location.
