Inventors:

James S. Chester - St. Petersburg FL, US

International Classification:

705 9, 705 29, 7071041, 705 26, 707E17032, 707E17044

Abstract:

An integrated process management system particularly suited for an environment in which multiple vendors must interact to cooperatively deliver products. The invention uses a preferably centralized process controller running on a computer. Discrete items or steps in the product manufacturing and delivery processes are given unique identifiers. The unique identifiers may assume many forms. For physical components, such as containers of raw materials, the identifier can be a tamper-resistant label containing a unique alphanumeric sequence. The identifiers are used to track the performance of each defined step in the process.

Filed:

Sep 6, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/899467

Inventors:

James Chester - St. Petersburg FL, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

713156000, 713155000

Abstract:

A secure method allowing the authentication of collectibles or other valuable items. The method affixes a unique and randomly generated identifying number to each item. A unique password is then associated with each identifying numbers. The set of identifying numbers and associated passwords are stored in random order in a registration database server. Public access to the system (for the beneficial use of transferees and authorized distributors) is provided through a public access server. The public access server communicates with a registration database server via random paths over the Internet. Thus, potential hackers do not have access to the true computing address of the registration database.
