US 2022/0012681 A1 · MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION AT POINT OF SALE FOR MULTI-INGREDIENT PRODUCT TRACKING, TRACING, AND AUTHENTICATION

Abstract

Some aspects of the present application relate to systems and methods for leveraging blockchain technology to enable multi-ingredient product tracking, tracing, and authentication. In some aspects, the systems and methods may be used for supply chain management of a multi-ingredient product, including products that are formed using one or more raw ingredients which have undergone change. In some aspects, the systems and methods provide actors present in the supply chain the ability to provide information and data pertaining to their role (e.g., the processes they follow, the material they buy, etc.) in the supply chain and store that information and data into one or more blocks of a blockchain.

Dependent claims

A method for creating genealogy data structures for tracing a final product back to its source ingredients, the method comprising,

receiving first data associated with a first actor in a supply chain, wherein the first data includes information indicating a first ingredient of the ingredients and one or more processes executed by the first actor with respect to the first ingredient;
recording at least a portion of the first data to a block of a blockchain;
and
in response to a request to access genealogy data corresponding to the final product:
identifying a genealogy data structure corresponding to the final product, the genealogy data structure comprising one or more blocks of the blockchain storing data corresponding to the final product, the data corresponding to the final product including at least the portion of the first data;
and
transmitting second data recorded to the one or more blocks of the blockchain corresponding to the genealogy data structure.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving first data associated with a first actor in a supply chain, wherein the first data includes information indicating a first ingredient of the ingredients and one or more processes executed by the first actor with respect to the first ingredient;
recording at least a portion of the first data to a block of a blockchain;
and
in response to a request to access genealogy data corresponding to a final product:
identifying a genealogy data structure corresponding to the final product, the genealogy data structure comprising one or more blocks of the blockchain storing data corresponding to the final product, the data corresponding to the final product including at least the portion of the first data;
and
transmitting second data recorded to the one or more blocks of the blockchain corresponding to the genealogy data structure.
