Smart device and tracking system

A smart device comprising:

• at least one of a memory chip or a memory of the microcontroller chip;
• at least one of a microcontroller chip or a separate microprocessor chip configured to:
• automatically determine location and security of goods,
• receive data from at least one sensor,
• receive a physical locked/unlocked state or a tamper status of the smart device from a physical lock, wherein the physical lock releasably secures the smart device to the goods, and wherein the physical lock is in electronic communication with the smart device and configured to detect and record at least one of the physical locked/unlocked state or the tamper status of the smart device;
• store the location and security of the goods, the data from the at least one sensor, and the physical locked/unlocked state or the tamper status of the smart device in at least one of the memory chip or the memory of the microcontroller chip;
• and
• a blockchain application module provided in the microcontroller chip, the memory chip, or the separate microprocessor chip in the smart device that, when executed by the microcontroller chip or the separate microprocessor chip, automatically blockchains the data from the at least one sensor, the location and security of the goods, and the physical locked/unlocked state or the tamper status into a blockchain without human intervention;
• wherein the smart device is configured to transmit via a network the blockchain comprising the blockchained data to a blockchain data system,
• wherein the blockchain data system comprises a number of blockchain nodes each configured to receive via the network the blockchained data transmitted from the smart device, verify each piece of data in the blockchained data received from the smart device, and store a copy of the blockchained data received from the smart device,
• wherein transmission of the blockchained data from the smart device to the blockchain data system provides security and detection of whether any data purporting to come from the smart device has been falsified or tampered,
• wherein at least one party having proper permissions or authorizations uses a client machine to access and view data in the blockchain data system including one or more of a status of the goods, a last known location of the goods, or a movement history of the goods as previously registered by the blockchain data system, and
• wherein secured arrival of the goods at predetermined waypoints is confirmed by the smart device by automatically blockchaining and transmitting to the blockchain system.
