Abstract

Autonomous devices and systems, methods, and program products for authorizing and performing autonomous devices transactions are disclosed. An autonomous device can be configured to generate a first hash value of a chain of hash values by applying a hash algorithm to first data including first new data and a first previous hash value of the chain of hash values, the first previous hash value computed by applying the hash algorithm to first previous data. The device can transmit to a transaction computer system the first hash value and the first new data. The device can generate and transmit to the transaction computer system a first signed electronic transaction request comprising first transaction data comprising a sending account identifier associated with the autonomous device, a destination account identifier, a transaction amount, and a timestamp. The device can digitally sign the transaction request using a private key of an asymmetric key pair.

Claims (53)

1. An autonomous device comprising:

one or more processors; and

non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

sending, from the autonomous device to a destination device, first data representing an offer to provide at least one of a good or a service in exchange for a transaction amount of digital assets, the offer indicating a first account associated with the autonomous device, the digital assets maintained on a distributed ledger by geographically distributed computer systems in a form of a blockchain;

receiving, by the autonomous device, second data representing an acceptance to the offer;

determining, by the autonomous device, that the transaction amount has been received in the first account based at least in part on reference to the blockchain;

determining, by the autonomous device, an exchange account associated with a digital asset exchange to transfer at least a portion of the transaction amount, the exchange account differing from the first account, and the exchange account maintained by the digital asset exchange and representing a seller account of a seller of the at least one of the good or the service; and

publishing, by the autonomous device, transfer instructions to transfer the at least the portion of the transaction amount from the first account to the exchange account associated with the digital asset exchange, wherein:

the transfer instructions indicate a first quantity of the digital assets to be transferred; and

the transfer instructions are published to the geographically distributed computer systems such that a transaction ledger is updated to reflect transfer of the first quantity of the digital assets from the first account to the exchange account.

2. The autonomous device of claim 1 , the operations further comprising storing, in a secure memory of the autonomous device, a device private key, wherein the device private key is associated with a device public key, and wherein the transfer instructions include a digital signature based at least in part on the device private key.

3. The autonomous device of claim 1 , wherein the autonomous device is configured to perform the operations without user input.

4. The autonomous device of claim 1 , wherein the second data indicates destination account information identifying a destination account associated with the destination device, and wherein publishing the transfer instructions is based at least in part on the second data indicating the destination account information.

5. The autonomous device of claim 1 , the operations further comprising generating the transfer instructions, wherein the transfer instructions include exchange account information associated with the exchange account and a digital signature.

6. The autonomous device of claim 1 , the operations further comprising determining that a user that provided the second data is an authorized user based at least in part on the second data including a preauthorized device public key.

7. The autonomous device of claim 1 , wherein:

the second data is received in association with the first account;

the first account is a first sub-account subordinate to a first digital asset account; and

the first digital asset account is associated with an authorized user.

8. A method comprising:

sending, from an autonomous device to a destination device, first data representing an offer to provide at least one of a good or a service in exchange for a transaction amount of digital assets, the offer indicating a first account, the digital assets maintained on a distributed ledger by geographically distributed computer systems in a form of a blockchain;

receiving, by the autonomous device, second data representing an acceptance to the offer;

determining, by the autonomous device, that the transaction amount has been received in the first account based at least in part on reference to the blockchain;

determining, by the autonomous device, an exchange account associated with a digital asset exchange to transfer at least a portion of the transaction amount, the exchange account differing from the first account, and the exchange account maintained by the digital asset exchange and representing a seller account of a seller of the at least one of the good or the service; and

publishing, by the autonomous device, transfer instructions to transfer the at least the portion of the transaction amount from the first account to the exchange account associated with the digital asset exchange, wherein:

the transfer instructions indicate a first quantity of the digital assets to be transferred; and

the transfer instructions are published to the geographically distributed computer systems such that a transaction ledger is updated to reflect transfer of the first quantity of the digital assets from the first account to the exchange account.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying transaction rules to apply based at least in part on the first account being utilized; and

causing the transaction rules to be applied.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transaction rules are associated with a first digital asset account and are configured to apply to sub-accounts subordinate to the first digital asset account, the sub-accounts including the first account.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein at least sending the first data is performed by an autonomous vehicle, and the at least one of the good or the service includes a transportation service provided by the autonomous vehicle.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising storing, in a secure memory of the autonomous device, a device private key, wherein the device private key corresponds to a device public key, and wherein the transfer instructions include a digital signature based on the device private key.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein sending the first data is performed without user input.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second data indicates destination account information identifying a destination account associated with the destination device, and wherein publishing the transfer instructions is based at least in part on the second data indicating the destination account information.

15. An autonomous device, comprising:

one or more processors; and

non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

sending, from the autonomous device and to a destination device, first data representing an offer to provide at least one of a good or a service in exchange for a transaction amount of digital assets, the offer indicating a first account associated with the autonomous device, the digital assets maintained on a distributed ledger by geographically distributed computer systems in a form of a blockchain;

receiving, at the autonomous device, second data representing an acceptance to the offer;

determining, by the autonomous device, that the transaction amount has been received in the first account based at least in part on reference to the blockchain;

determining, by the autonomous device, an exchange account associated with a digital asset exchange to transfer at least a portion of the transaction amount, the exchange account differing from the first account, and the exchange account maintained by the digital asset exchange and representing a seller account of a seller of the at least one of the good or the service; and

publishing, by the autonomous device, transfer instructions to transfer the at least the portion of the transaction amount from the first account to the exchange account associated with the digital asset exchange, wherein the transfer instructions are published to the geographically distributed computer systems such that a transaction ledger is updated to reflect transfer of a first quantity of the digital assets from the first account to the exchange account.

16. The autonomous device of claim 15 , the operations further comprising generating, by the autonomous device, the transfer instructions, wherein the transfer instructions include exchange account information associated with the exchange account and a digital signature.

17. The autonomous device of claim 15 , the operations further comprising determining, by the autonomous device, that a user that provided the second data is an authorized user based at least in part on the second data including a preauthorized device public key.
