Smart device
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.
1. A device, comprising:
a device body;
an accelerometer coupled to the body;
a camera to capture an image;
a module to manage a chain of custody of a user, where one or more images are taken of a person and immutably supplemented with location, and an identity of the person associated with the image is added as a metadata;
a wireless transceiver; and
a processor coupled to the body and associated with a blockchain with a blockchain address for a secured transaction or for identity management.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the processor accesses a digital key in trusted memory to securely sign a blockchain transaction for a contract stored on a decentralized ledger, and wherein the processor 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 coupled to the camera for image tagging of one or more objects.
4. The device of claim 3 , 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.
5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the image includes embedded information including a positioning system coordinate and a temperature.
6. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to process energy generation or consumption using the blockchain.
7. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for an object, a plant, a drug or a person.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more identification tags mixed or dispersed within a facility or plant.
11. The device of claim 1 , comprising medical dispensing machine to provide blockchain data on location and time of each event associated with a medication.
12. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to trace food or drug from production to distribution to consumption using the blockchain.
13. The device of claim 1 , wherein the blockchain comprises Ethereum or Bitcoin, and the wireless transceiver comprises a cellular transceiver or 802 transceiver.
14. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to link blockchain addresses to a store, sign cryptocurrency transactions and check a store status.
15. The device of claim 1 , comprising a distributed application (DApp).
16. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to process a smart contract.
17. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to transfer currency in a smart contract.
18. The device of claim 1 , comprising a smart phone with a wallet.
19. A device, comprising:
a device body;
an accelerometer coupled to the body;
a camera to capture an image;
a wireless transceiver;
a processor coupled to the body and associated with a blockchain with a blockchain address for a secured transaction or for identity management; and
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.
20. A method, comprising:
providing in a device body an accelerometer coupled to the body, a camera to capture an image and a module to manage a chain of custody of a user,
capturing one or more images of an object or a person and immutably supplementing the one or more images with location, and an identity of the object or person as metadata; and
associating with a blockchain with a blockchain address for a secured transaction or for identity management.
