Latest Patents

Cronin’s latest patents address using distributed ledgers to record information about objects and inventory.

“Tracking and Authentication of Asset via Distributed Ledger” describes a system in which computing devices maintain copies of a ledger. When a device comes near a particular object, it can trigger the creation of a new block that identifies a characteristic of the object and includes a hash of a previous block. The new block may be verified before being added to the ledger and shared with the other devices.

“Tracking and Authentication of Inventory via Distributed Ledger” applies a similar approach to inventory. A nearby computing device can trigger a new block recording changes to inventory of a particular object type. The block includes a hash of a previous ledger block and may be verified before being appended and distributed to the other devices.

Career Highlights

Cronin’s disclosed inventions focus on connecting physical objects and inventory records with distributed-ledger data. The systems use proximity-triggered updates and linked blocks to support the recording and sharing of asset or inventory information. He is associated with Digiprint IP LLC.

Collaborations

Cronin’s coworker is Avery Levy. The available information identifies their professional association but does not specify particular joint patent work.

Conclusion

John Cronin’s patent portfolio centers on distributed-ledger methods for tracking and authenticating assets and inventory, with an emphasis on recording object-related updates across multiple computing devices.
