Abstract

Aspects relate to apparatuses and methods for determining and processing dormant data records on an immutable sequential listing. An exemplary apparatus includes a processor configured to monitor a plurality of timestamps associated with a plurality of data records stored on the immutable sequential listing, wherein the data record includes a job resume, detect inactivity in a first data record of the plurality of data records over a predetermined time period as a function of a first timestamp of the first data record, wherein the predetermined time period may be set by the user, tag, as a function of the inactivity, the first data record as an inactive first data record, and process, as a function inactivity, the first data record, wherein processing may include adding additional data or archiving inactive data records from the immutable sequential listing.

Claims (27)

1. An apparatus for determining dormant data stored on an immutable sequential listing, the apparatus comprising a computing device comprising:

at least a processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to:

detect inactivity in a first data record of the plurality of data records over a predetermined time period as a function of a first timestamp of the first data record;

tag, as a function of the inactivity, the first data record as an inactive first data record; and

process, as a function of the inactivity, the first data record.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to monitor a plurality of timestamps associated with a plurality of data records stored on an immutable sequential listing.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first data record is cryptographically inserted in a hash chain.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein detecting inactivity further comprises that no activity associated with the data record has occurred over the predetermined time.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein tagging an inactive data record comprises labeling the record as at least “inactive” for the purpose of flagging for further action.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to transmit a notification of inactivity to a remote device.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to validate the timestamp at a timestamp authority.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to generate a record indicating that the first data record is archived from the immutable sequential listing.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the computing device is configured to receive a first indication of continued activity to post a new data record with an updated timestamp on the immutable sequential listing.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to receive and post a new data record to the immutable sequential listing.

11. A method for determining dormant data stored on an immutable sequential listing, the method comprising:

detecting, using a computing device, inactivity in a first data record of the plurality of data records over a predetermined time period as a function of a first timestamp of the first data record;

tagging, using a computing device, as a function of the inactivity, the first data record as an inactive first data record; and

processing, using a computing device, as a function of the inactivity, the first data record.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is configured to monitor a plurality of timestamps associated with a plurality of data records stored on an immutable sequential listing.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first data record is cryptographically inserted in a hash chain.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein detecting inactivity further comprises that no activity associated with the data record has occurred over the predetermined time.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein tagging an inactive data record comprises labeling the record as at least “inactive” for the purpose of flagging for further action.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is configured to transmit a notification of inactivity to a remoted device.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is further configured to validate the timestamp at a timestamp authority.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is configured to generate a record indicating that the first data record is archived from the immutable sequential listing.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the computing device is configured to receive a first indication of continued activity to post a new data record with an updated timestamp on the immutable sequential listing.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the computing device is configured to receive and post a new data record to the immutable sequential listing.
