Abstract

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a camera coupled to a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor. Blockchain smart contracts can be used with the device to facilitate secure operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device, comprising:
a device body;
an accelerometer coupled to the body; a camera to capture an image;
a wireless transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the body and associated with a blockchain with a blockchain address for a secured transaction by accessing data, content, or application stored in a cloud storage; authorizing a first client device; receiving an authorization request from the first client device; generating an authorization key for accessing a cloud server and storing the key in a blockchain; providing the authorization key to the first client device; receiving the authorization key from a remote device as a second client device working as an agent of the first client device; granting access to the second client device based on the authorization key; receiving code and data associated with an application or content identified in a blockchain, and running code with the data.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor accessing a digital key in trusted memory to securely sign a blockchain transaction for a contract stored on a decentralized ledger, and wherein the processor to stores events on the blockchain relating to identity wherein the identity is used for accessing a computer, building or equipment.

3. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody of a user, where one or more images are taken of the user and immutably supplemented with location, and an identity of a person associated with the image is added as a metadata.

4. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for cannabis and a module to manage a chain of custody for a drug with ingredients, where one or more images are taken of drug ingredients and wherein an identity of a person associated with drug production is added as a metadata.

5. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module coupled to the camera for image tagging of one or more objects.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the image is stored off or on the blockchain and the image includes embedded information including a signature of a person taking the image.

7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the image includes embedded information including a positioning system coordinate and a temperature.

8. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to process energy generation or consumption using the blockchain.

9. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for an object, a plant, a drug or a person.

10. The method of claim 1 , comprising a module to identify a custodian location from one or more of: a seed grower facility, a plant harvester facility, a processing facility, a distribution facility, a retail facility.

11. The device of claim 1 , comprising a sensor to perform one of: photonic, magnetic, x-ray, radio frequency, chemical, microcode, florescence, genetic, electronic analysis, spectroscopy analysis, wherein the analysis is placed on the blockchain.

12. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more identification tags mixed or dispersed within a facility or plant.

13. The device of claim 1 , comprising medical dispensing machine to provide blockchain data on location and time of each event associated with a medication.

14. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to trace food or drug from production to distribution to consumption using the blockchain.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain comprises Ethereum or Bitcoin, and the wireless transceiver comprises a cellular transceiver or 802 transceiver.

16. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to link blockchain addresses to a store, sign cryptocurrency transactions and check a store status.

17. The device of claim 1 , comprising a distributed application (dApp).

18. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to process a smart contract.

19. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to transfer currency in a smart contract.

20. The device of claim 1 , comprising a smart phone with a wallet.
