Abstract

A message is received containing a notification of a change to a longterm value. The one or more longterm accounts are updated. After updating the longterm blockchain, one or more transaction accounts are updated by an update amount, the update amount generated based on the change to the one or more longterm accounts such that a total value of all transaction accounts in the transaction blockchain is based on an aggregate measure of all of the longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain.

Claims

1. A system for the maintenance of a plurality of blockchains, the system comprising:

one or more servers, each servers comprising at least one processor and computer memory, the servers configured to perform operations including;

receive a message containing a notification of a change to a longterm value that is recorded outside of a longterm blockchain comprising one or more longterm accounts;

responsive to receiving the message containing the notification, updating the one or more longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain to record the change to the longterm value that is recorded outside of the longterm blockchain;

after updating the longterm blockchain, updating, in a transaction blockchain, separate from the longterm blockchain, one or more transaction accounts by an update amount, the update amount generated based on the change to the one or more longterm accounts such that a total value of all transaction accounts in the transaction blockchain is based on an aggregate measure of all of the longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a request to transfer a transfer value from a first transaction account in the transaction blockchain;

transmitting, based on receiving the request to transfer value from the first transaction account, a primary-glyph, the primary-glyph comprising elements that encode at least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account;

receiving, after transmitting the primary-glyph, a transfer-completion message that includes at least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise transferring the transfer value from the first transaction account to a second transaction account in the transaction blockchain.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the operations further comprise:

responsive to the receiving of the request to transfer a transfer value from a first transaction account in the transaction blockchain;

generating the primary-glyph by encoding the least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account into a renderable data object; and

selecting one or more associated-glyphs; and

wherein transmitting the primary-glyph comprises transmitting the associated-glyphs.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the transfer-completion message further includes an indication that a client-device scanned the primary-glyph and the one or more associated-glyphs.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the primary-glyph is a GS1 databar barcode and wherein the associated-glyphs are Universal Product Code (UPC) barcode.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein at least some of the servers use one or more virtual-servers to perform at least some of the operations.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein updating, in a transaction blockchain, one or more transaction accounts by an update amount is performed responsive to and based on the updating of the longterm blockchain.

9. A method comprising:

receive a message containing a notification of a change to a longterm value that is recorded outside of a longterm blockchain comprising one or more longterm accounts;

responsive to receiving the message containing the notification, updating the one or more longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain to record the change to the longterm value that is recorded outside of the longterm blockchain;

after updating the longterm blockchain, updating, in a transaction blockchain, separate from the longterm blockchain, one or more transaction accounts by an update amount, the update amount generated based on the change to the one or more longterm accounts such that a total value of all transaction accounts in the transaction blockchain is based on an aggregate measure of all of the longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a request to transfer a transfer value from a first transaction account in the transaction blockchain;

transmitting, based on receiving the request to transfer value from the first transaction account, a primary-glyph, the primary-glyph comprising elements that encode at least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account;

receiving, after transmitting the primary-glyph, a transfer-completion message that includes at least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise transferring the transfer value from the first transaction account to a second transaction account in the transaction blockchain.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the operations further comprise:

responsive to the receiving of the request to transfer a transfer value from a first transaction account in the transaction blockchain;

generating the primary-glyph by encoding the least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account into a renderable data object; and

selecting one or more associated-glyphs; and

wherein transmitting the primary-glyph comprises transmitting the associated-glyphs.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the transfer-completion message further includes an indication that a client-device scanned the primary-glyph and the one or more associated-glyphs.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the primary-glyph is a GS1 databar barcode and wherein the associated-glyphs are Universal Product Code (UPC) barcode.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein at least some of the servers use one or more virtual-servers to perform at least some of the operations.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein updating, in a transaction blockchain, one or more transaction accounts by an update amount is performed responsive to and based on the updating of the longterm blockchain.

17. A tangible computer-readable device product instructions thereon that, when executed by computing devices, cause the computing devices to perform operations including:

receive a message containing a notification of a change to a longterm value that is recorded outside of a longterm blockchain comprising one or more longterm accounts;

responsive to receiving the message containing the notification, updating the one or more longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain to record the change to the longterm value that is recorded outside of the longterm blockchain;

after updating the longterm blockchain, updating, in a transaction blockchain, separate from the longterm blockchain, one or more transaction accounts by an update amount, the update amount generated based on the change to the one or more longterm accounts such that a total value of all transaction accounts in the transaction blockchain is based on an aggregate measure of all of the longterm accounts in the longterm blockchain.

18. The computer-readable product of claim 17, wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving a request to transfer a transfer value from a first transaction account in the transaction blockchain;

transmitting, based on receiving the request to transfer value from the first transaction account, a primary-glyph, the primary-glyph comprising elements that encode at least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account;

receiving, after transmitting the primary-glyph, a transfer-completion message that includes at least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account.

19. The computer-readable product of claim 18, wherein the operations further comprise transferring the transfer value from the first transaction account to a second transaction account in the transaction blockchain.

20. The computer-readable product of claim 18, wherein the operations further comprise:

responsive to the receiving of the request to transfer a transfer value from a first transaction account in the transaction blockchain;

generating the primary-glyph by encoding the least some of the information about the request to transfer value from the first transaction account into a renderable data object; and

selecting one or more associated-glyphs; and

wherein transmitting the primary-glyph comprises transmitting the associated-glyphs.
