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.

Claims (26)

1. A device, comprising:

a device body;

an accelerometer coupled to the body to detect acceleration;

a camera to capture an image;

a wireless transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver and the accelerometer; and

a module to manage a chain of custody for a drug with an ingredient from a plant, where one or more images are taken of plant growth and immutably supplemented with data including plant location, temperature, humidity, and soil condition and wherein an identity of a person associated with the image is added as a metadata.

2. The device of claim 1 , comprising a blockchain accessed by the processor to store data for the device.

3. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to compare a professional activity with a user activity to improve plant growth.

4. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for cannabinoid.

5. The device of claim 1 , comprising a positioning module for position tagging of one or more plants.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image is stored off or on a blockchain.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image is immutable and unmodifiable.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image is coupled to a blockchain.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image includes embedded information including a signature of a person taking the image.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image includes embedded information including a positioning system coordinate and a temperature.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image includes embedded information not visible to an eye.

12. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for an object.

13. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for identity.

14. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more identification tags coupled to a surface of the one or more cannabis plants.

15. The device 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.

16. The device of claim 1 , comprising a reader to perform one of: photonic, magnetic, x-ray, radio frequency, chemical, microcode, florescence, genetic, electronic analysis, spectroscopy analysis.

17. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more identification tags are mixed or dispersed within a plant or an extracted cannabinoid.

18. The device of claim 1 , comprising photographically tagged plants, chemically tagged plants, photographically tagged cannabis plants, chemically tagged cannabis plants, cannabis plants, matured cannabis plants, cannabis plant cuttings.

19. The device of claim 1 , comprising cannabis extraction machine to receive blockchain data on the cannabis.

20. The device of claim 1 , wherein the drug comprises a cannabinoid.
