BLOCKCHAIN FOR AUTHENTICATION OF BATTERIES, ACCESSORIES, AND POWER TOOLS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036538 titled 'BLOCKCHAIN FOR AUTHENTICATION OF BATTERIES, ACCESSORIES, AND POWER TOOLS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication system that involves a battery pack and a power tool. The power tool is capable of obtaining battery pack information and sending a validation request to a node of a blockchain network. This request includes both the battery pack information and power tool information. The power tool can receive a blockchain authentication message from at least one node of the blockchain network, which indicates whether the battery pack information and power tool information have been validated by the blockchain network. An electronic processor in the power tool controls its operation based on the blockchain authentication message.

  • The communication system includes a battery pack and a power tool.
  • The power tool can obtain battery pack information and send a validation request to a blockchain network node.
  • The validation request includes battery pack information and power tool information.
  • The power tool can receive a blockchain authentication message from at least one node of the blockchain network.
  • The blockchain authentication message indicates whether the battery pack information and power tool information have been validated.
  • An electronic processor in the power tool controls its operation based on the blockchain authentication message.

Potential Applications:

  • Authentication and validation of battery packs and power tools in various industries such as construction, manufacturing, and automotive.
  • Ensuring the use of genuine and authorized battery packs with power tools.
  • Preventing the use of counterfeit or unauthorized power tools.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures the authenticity and integrity of battery pack and power tool information.
  • Reduces the risk of using counterfeit or unauthorized battery packs or power tools.
  • Enhances trust and transparency in the supply chain of battery packs and power tools.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety and reliability in using power tools.
  • Protection against counterfeit or unauthorized products.
  • Enhanced traceability and accountability in the supply chain.
  • Potential cost savings by preventing the use of counterfeit or low-quality battery packs and power tools.
