Abstract:

The present invention relates to systems and methods for deploying a robotic security escort to enhance enterprise security. Enhancing enterprise security by deploying a robotic security escort to guide a guest along a route that is tailored to the guest to ensure that the guest does not pass through restricted areas which the guest is not authorized to access. The guest may be assigned a security authorization level that defines whether the guest is permitted to access one or more predefined areas of the enterprise facility. A destination location to which the guest is to be escorted may be identified. Based on the security authorization level assigned to the guest, the system determines an appropriate route for escorting the guest throughout the enterprise facility to the destination location. The system may then deploy the robotic security escort to physically escort the guest along the appropriate route obtain adequate security with respect to sensitive enterprise resources while the guest is visiting the enterprise facility.

Abstract:

The disclosed technologies include receiving a request from a second computing device to verify ownership of a blockchain address. A challenge content is generated and sent to the requestor. A signature is received comprising a hash of the challenge content generated using a private key. A public key corresponding to the private key is obtained, and the signature is validated using the public key. In response to validating the signature, a characteristic is associated with a user associated with the blockchain address.

Abstract:

Various methods and systems for providing customized-item-specific interfaces of items on extended interface devices in a search system. A plurality of items ? each having an extended interface configuration that indicates customized-item-specific interface instructions for extended presentation of items on extended interface devices ? are accessed at a primary interface device associated with a set of extended interface devices including a second-user extended interface device that supports a social mode. Based on the first extended interface configuration of a first item, a determination is made that the first item is extendable to a first extended interface device in the set of extended interface devices. Based on determining that the first item is extendable, automatically causing generation of a customized-item-specific interface of the first item on the first extended interface device. Causing generation of the customized-item-specific interface can be based on communicating item extended interface data to the first extended interface device.

Abstract:

Technologies are shown for controlling a transaction on a digitally stored blockchain by creating a contract data block for a transaction involving entities and by event code executed after receipt of digital signatures from the entities. A refund transaction may be digitally signed by entities and linked to the contract block within the blockchain. A payment transaction block may also be digitally signed by entities and linked to the contract block. Code authorized to execute by the blocks executes based on receipt of digital signature events.

Abstract:

Techniques for automatically modulating a physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure. A reconfigurable building structure may be constructed of physical elements that are movable with respect to one another to facilitate actuating the reconfigurable building structure between a plurality of different physical configurations. The physical configuration of a reconfigurable building structure may be adjusted to accommodate for physical dimensions of an item that is going to be moved into the reconfigurable building structure. For example, a spacing between two shelves may be expanded in response to an order being placed for a large item. In this way, when the item is delivered to a physical address associated with the reconfigurable building structure, various physical characteristics of the reconfigurable building structure may have already been modulated to accept the item.

Abstract:

Technologies are shown for tracking transfer of an item on an item tracking data blockchain, where transfers of the item and the holder of the item are recorded in item tracking data blocks of the blockchain. In some examples, a verification of the item is performed for a transfer and recorded in the data block for the transfer. In other examples, the blockchain stores a unique code for the ticket. Transfers of the ticket are recorded in the blockchain. When the ticket is presented for use, a holder identifier and a presented ticket code are validated against a holder identifier in the most recent block in the blockchain and the unique code for the ticket stored in the blockchain. In some examples, a portion of a resale price of the ticket is sent to an issuer of the ticket.

Abstract:

Technologies are shown for managing stored value on a blockchain involving creating a stored value contract block on a blockchain having an identifier of a first entity and code for transferring a portion of a stored value to a designated party. Funds data is stored to the blockchain indicating the stored value committed to the stored value contract block by the first entity. Code is invoked with an identifier of a second entity to transfer a portion of the stored value to the second entity. Some examples involve an intermediary entity verifying conditions defined in the stored value contract block in order to complete transfer. Other examples involve an intermediary entity monitoring conditions in order to initiate transfer when the conditions are satisfied.
