US 2021/0264444 A1 · BLOCKCHAIN-BASED PRODUCT AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Methods and systems are presented for providing instant authentication of a product and enhanced user experience with the product via blockchain technologies. A product verification system uses blockchain technologies to track the supply chain process of each instance (e.g., each copy) of a product. Upon receiving a request for authenticating an item, a code provided with the item is scanned. A token corresponding to an instance of a product is determined based on the code. The product verification system traverses a blockchain to access data associated with the token. The item is authenticated based on the data. Additional content provided by the supply chain and/or the manufacturer of the instance of the product may be presented on a user device in response to authenticating the item.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory;
and
one or more hardware processors coupled with the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a user device, a request for authenticating a product, wherein the request comprises a code;
traversing a product blockchain comprising a plurality of blocks, wherein each block in the plurality of blocks is associated with a token;
identifying, from the plurality of blocks in the product blockchain, a particular block associated with the code based on the traversing;
determining whether to authenticate the product based on a particular token included in the particular block;
and
transmitting, to the user device, a notification indicating whether the product is authenticated.
