Patent Images
1. A system for generating an electronic seal for a container, the system comprising:
- a sensor configured to;
detect first and second conditions associated with the container, the first and second conditions being different; and
generate first and second sensor readings corresponding to the first and second conditions associated with the container; and
a processing device configured to apply the first and second readings to a formula that generates a unique value, the unique value being indicative of an integrity of the container;
wherein the electronic seal corresponds to the unique value. generate the electronic seal based on the sensor reading.

Abstract
A system for generating an e-seal for a container includes a sensor to detect a condition associated with the container and to generate a sensor reading based on the condition, and a processing device to generate the e-seal based on the sensor reading. The sensor reading may include first and second readings from the sensor, where the first reading is recorded at a first time and the second reading is recorded at a second time.

6. A system for generating an electronic seal for a container, the system comprising:
-
a sensor to detect a condition associated with the container and to generate a sensor reading based on the condition; and
a processing device to generate the electronic seal based on the sensor reading;
wherein the sensor reading comprises first and second readings from the sensor, the first reading being recorded at a first time and the second reading recorded at a second time, the second time being after the first time;
wherein the processing device generates the electronic seal by applying the first and second readings to a formula that generates the electronic seal; and
wherein the formula comprises a sum of an absolute value of a difference between the first and second readings.
