Patent US10530584

providing a tracking server comprising one or more processors communicatively coupled to memory having a first memory partition and a second memory partition, wherein the first memory partition is segregated from the second memory partition;

transforming with a cryptographic hash function, automatically with the one or more processors, a code comprising a genetic code of a strain of a controlled item into a core code;

storing the code on the first memory partition and the core code on the second memory partition;

associating the core code with a label code and a weight on the first memory partition, wherein the weight is indicative of a produced amount of the strain of the controlled item;

receiving an image of a label having an identification portion indicative of the label code and dispensed weight data;

extracting, automatically with the one or more processors, the label code from the identification portion of the image of the label;

reducing, automatically with the one or more processors, the weight associated with the core code based upon the dispensed weight data;

receiving a prior image of the label and location data indicative of a location of a client device; and

associating the core code with an entity, when the location data matches location information associated with the entity.

a tracking server comprising one or more processors communicatively coupled to memory; and one or more client device communicatively coupled to the tracking server, wherein the one or more processors of the tracking server executes machine readable instructions to: transform with a cryptographic hash function a code comprising a genetic code of a strain of a controlled item into a core code; receive from the one or more client device an image of a label having an identification portion indicative of a label code; receive from the one or more client device phase data indicative of a life cycle phase of the strain of the controlled item and quantity data indicative of an amount of the strain of the controlled item; extract the label code from the identification portion of the image of the label; associate the core code with the label code, the first phase data, and the first quantity data on the memory; receive from the one or more client device subsequent phase data indicative of a subsequent life cycle phase of the strain of the controlled item and subsequent quantity data indicative of a subsequent amount of the strain of the controlled item; receive biometric input indicative of a user; and validate the client device, when the biometric input matches biometric data associated with a grower, wherein the core code is associated with the label code, the first phase data, and the first quantity data only while the client device is validated.
