It must also be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0020] Although any systems and methods similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the practice or testing of embodiments of the present disclosure, the preferred, systems and methods are now described. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several figures, and in which example embodiments are shown. Embodiments of the claims may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The examples set forth herein are non-limiting examples and are merely examples among other possible examples.
[0021] The present invention discloses a package tracking system that is capable of providing a transparency during tracking of packages.
[0022] FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a package tracking system (100), according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] In some embodiments, the system (100) comprises a user interface (102) configured to enable a user to input a package tracking number associated with a package, a database (104) comprising one or more blockchains (106), each associated with a tracking stage of the delivery cycle, and a processor (108) communicatively coupled with the user interface (102) and the database (104).
[0024] The user interface (102) allows users to input tracking numbers to monitor their package status in real-time. When a user enters the package tracking number, the system (100) routes the input to the processor (108), which determines the current stage of the delivery cycle associated with the package.
[0025] In one embodiment, the database (104) contains multiple blockchains (106), each corresponding to a specific stage of the delivery cycle. These stages may include, but are not limited to, the manufacturing plant, warehouse storage, transportation, warehouse outlets, and delivery to retailers or consumers. Each blockchain (106) stores real-time tracking details of the package as it progresses through these stages.
[0026] The processor (108) is configured to retrieve and analyze the tracking details from the appropriate blockchain (106) based on the package’s current stage. The processor (108) identifies the relevant blockchain (106) and fetches real-time tracking details associated with the package. These details are then displayed via the user interface (102), providing the user with an accurate and up-to-date status of the package’s location and delivery progress.
[0027] In some embodiments, the database (104) is stored within a memory (110) that securely manages the blockchains (106) and ensures that each blockchain’s data remains tamper-proof. By leveraging blockchain technology, the system (100) ensures transparency and security throughout the delivery cycle.
[0028] Furthermore, the tracking stages of the delivery cycle include key milestones such as the initial manufacturing phase, transportation from the warehouse, and final delivery to a retailer or customer. Each stage is represented as an individual blockchain (106) within the database (104), where relevant tracking data for each package is logged.
[0029] The system (100) is designed to handle a variety of package tracking scenarios. In cases where a package moves through multiple warehouses or distribution centers, the processor (108) automatically transitions between the appropriate blockchains (106), ensuring the user receives comprehensive tracking information from start to finish.
[0030] In one embodiment, the processor (108) is capable of processing multiple tracking requests simultaneously, optimizing the efficiency of package tracking. This ensures that even during periods of high demand, such as holiday seasons, users may retrieve real-time tracking details without delay.
[0031] The system (100) may further enhance user experience by integrating predictive algorithms within the processor (108). These algorithms may estimate delivery times based on historical data from previous package deliveries stored within the blockchains (106), enabling users to anticipate package arrivals more accurately.
[0032] Additionally, the system (100) includes a user interface (102) that allows users to manage multiple package tracking numbers at once. This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses or individuals handling bulk shipments, allowing them to monitor the progress of all packages in a single view.
[0033] In some embodiments, the processor (108) may notify users of significant events during the delivery cycle, such as when a package reaches a new warehouse or enters the final delivery stage. Notifications may be customized according to user preferences and delivered through various channels such as email, SMS, or mobile app alerts.
[0034] The use of blockchain technology in the system (100) ensures data integrity by preventing unauthorized modifications to the tracking details. Each update to the package’s tracking information is recorded in the blockchain (106), providing a secure and verifiable audit trail for every package’s journey through the delivery cycle.
[0035] The described package tracking system (100) provides a secure, transparent, and efficient solution for monitoring packages through every stage of the delivery process. By leveraging blockchain technology and real-time data retrieval, the system (100) enhances user confidence and improves overall delivery performance.
[0036] It should be noted that the package tracking system (100) in any case could undergo numerous modifications and variants, all of which are covered by the same innovative concept; moreover, all of the details may be replaced by technically equivalent elements. In practice, the components used, as well as the numbers, shapes, and sizes of the components may be of any kind according to the technical requirements. The scope of protection of the invention is therefore defined by the attached claims. , C , C , Claims:WE CLAIM:
