SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BLOCKCHAIN LEDGER OVER MULTIFUNCTION PERIPHERAL NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for distributed multifunction peripheral blockchain ledgering includes a group of networked MFPs, each having a document processing engine, a network interface and an intelligent controller with a processor and memory. An electronic blockchain ledger is stored in memory, along with licensing data designating the multifunction peripheral as trusted. Transaction data is received via the network interface and validated. MFPs poll other trusted, networked multifunction peripherals to validate received transaction data, and update the blockchain ledger in accordance with validated transactions.
