Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a novel system for using a distributed register to conduct, manage, and store resource tracking data. In particular, computing systems may be used to perform assessments on and track various diagnostic parameters for a fleet of resources within an enterprise environment and store the data records within the distributed register. Data may be received in a periodic manner, event-based manner, or a continuous manner from on-board diagnostic components of the resources. The system may further comprise one or more distributed register interjectors which may trigger the addition of updated data records for one or more resources in the distributed register. In this way, the system provides for a highly efficient way to track and analyze resource data and forecast value and condition of resources belonging to the entity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system for managing resource tracking data in a distributed register, comprising:
a processor; a communication interface; and a memory having a copy of the distributed register and executable code stored thereon, wherein the executable code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
receive resource tracking data from one or more entities or user devices;
receive, from resource tracking system, a request to add a proposed data record to the distributed register, wherein the proposed data record comprises resource tracking data;
validate, using a consensus algorithm, the proposed data record based on the resource tracking data;
append the proposed data record to an entry in the distributed register;
receive additional resource tracking data for the multiple resources;
detect, via a distributed register interjector, that the resource tracking data requires an update;
based on detecting that the resource tracking data requires the update,
trigger the resource tracking system to submit resource tracking data;
receive, from the resource tracking system, a second proposed data record, the second proposed data record comprising the additional resource tracking data;
validate, using the consensus algorithm, the second proposed data record based on the additional resource tracking data; and
append the second proposed data record to a new entry in the distributed register.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional resource tracking data is received in a continuous stream.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the resource tracking data and additional resource tracking data comprises diagnostic data produced by an on board diagnostic device.

4 . The system of claim 1 , further configured to receive policies, guidelines, and procedures; and
analyze validated resource tracking data in order to determine if the resource tracking data indicates compliance with the policies guidelines, or procedures affecting one or more of the multiple resources.

5 . The system of claim 1 , further configured to analyze validated resource tracking information to determine a resource operation pattern for one or more of the multiple resources;
extrapolate a resource value impact vector based on the determined resource operation pattern; determine a forecasted resource value for one or more timeframes based on the value impact vector; and generate and display via the user device an alert comprising the forecasted resource value.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the distributed register interjector is a periodic interjector, wherein the periodic interjector causes the processor to:
detect that a threshold amount of time has passed since resource tracking data has been received or detect that an triggering event has occurred based on validated data records; and trigger the resource tracking system to compile a report for validated data for one or more of the multiple resources.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the distributed register interjector is a policy interjector, wherein the policy interjector causes the processor to:
detect a change in a policy affecting one or more of the multiples resources; and trigger the resource tracking system to submit a third proposed data record, the third proposed data record comprising additional resource tracking data associated with the change in the policy.

8 . A computer program product for managing resource tracking data in a distributed register, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
an executable portion for receiving resource tracking data for multiple resources from one or more entities or user devices; an executable portion for receiving, from resource tracking system, a request to add a proposed data record to the distributed register, wherein the proposed data record comprises resource tracking data; an executable portion for validating, using a consensus algorithm, the proposed data record based on the resource tracking data; an executable portion for appending the proposed data record to an entry in the distributed register; an executable portion for receiving additional resource tracking data for the multiple resources; an executable portion for detecting, via a distributed register interjector, that the resource tracking data requires an update; an executable portion for based on detecting that the resource tracking data requires the update, triggering the resource tracking system to submit resource tracking data; an executable portion for receiving, from the resource tracking system, a second proposed data record, the second proposed data record comprising the additional resource tracking data; an executable portion for validating, using the consensus algorithm, the second proposed data record based on the additional resource tracking data; and an executable portion for appending the second proposed data record to a new entry in the distributed register.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the additional resource tracking data is received in a continuous stream.

10 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the resource tracking data and additional resource tracking data comprises diagnostic data produced by an on board diagnostic device.

11 . The computer program product of claim 8 , further configured to receive policies, guidelines, and procedures; and
analyze validated resource tracking data in order to determine if the resource tracking data indicates compliance with the policies guidelines, or procedures affecting one or more of the multiple resources.

12 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the distributed register interjector is a periodic interjector, wherein the periodic interjector causes the processor to:
detect that a threshold amount of time has passed since resource tracking data has been received or detect that an triggering event has occurred based on validated data records; and trigger the resource tracking system to compile a report for validated data for one or more of the multiple resources.

13 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the distributed register interjector is a policy interjector, wherein the policy interjector causes the processor to:
detect a change in a policy affecting one or more of the multiples resources; and trigger the resource tracking system to submit a third proposed data record, the third proposed data record comprising additional resource tracking data associated with the change in the policy.

14 . A computer-implemented method for managing resource tracking data in a distributed register, the method comprising:
an executable portion for receiving resource tracking data for multiple resources from one or more entities or user devices; receiving, from resource tracking system, a request to add a proposed data record to the distributed register, wherein the proposed data record comprises resource tracking data; validating, using a consensus algorithm, the proposed data record based on the resource tracking data; appending the proposed data record to an entry in the distributed register; receive additional resource tracking data for the multiple resources; detecting, via a distributed register interjector, that the resource tracking data requires an update; based on detecting that the resource tracking data requires the update, triggering the resource tracking system to submit resource tracking data; r
