DATA AND SOURCE VALIDATION FOR EQUIPMENT OUTPUT DATA OR EQUIPMENT FAILURE PREDICTION USING BLOCKCHAINS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240022574 titled 'DATA AND SOURCE VALIDATION FOR EQUIPMENT OUTPUT DATA OR EQUIPMENT FAILURE PREDICTION USING BLOCKCHAINS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes novel tools and techniques for implementing data and source validation for equipment output data and/or for equipment failure prediction. In summary:

  • A computing system receives a request for first data that is output by first equipment.
  • The system retrieves and analyzes the first data to determine its trustworthiness.
  • If the first data can be trusted, the system sends it to the requesting device.
  • If the first data cannot be trusted, the system sends a second request to identify a blockchain containing a block with a copy of the first data.
  • Upon identifying such a blockchain, the system receives and abstracts the block containing the copy of the first data.
  • The system then abstracts the first data from the block and sends it to the requesting device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Validating and verifying equipment output data in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, energy, etc.
  • Predicting equipment failures and taking proactive measures to prevent downtime and improve maintenance efficiency.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring the trustworthiness and integrity of equipment output data.
  • Reducing the risk of relying on inaccurate or tampered data.
  • Enhancing the reliability and accuracy of equipment failure prediction.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved decision-making based on reliable and validated equipment output data.
  • Increased operational efficiency through proactive maintenance and prevention of equipment failures.
  • Enhanced data security and integrity by leveraging blockchain technology for data validation.


Original Abstract Submitted

novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing data and source validation for equipment output data and/or for equipment failure predict. in various embodiments, in response to receiving a first request for first data that is output by first equipment, a computing system might retrieve and analyze the first data to determine whether the first data can be trusted. if so, the computing system might send the first data to the requesting device. if not, the computing system might send a second request for identifying a blockchain containing a block containing a copy of the first data. in response to the blockchain system identifying such a blockchain, the computing system might receive the identified blockchain; might abstract the block containing the copy of the first data from the identified blockchain; might abstract the first data from the block; and might send the first data to the requesting device.
