CPC G06Q 20/389 (2013.01) [G06F 16/27 (2019.01)] | 15 Claims |
1. An embedded Data Transaction Exchange (EDT-X) Platform for storing marker data that references content about a transaction, comprising a processor:
a block chain distributed ledger manager interface;
a data marker identification database;
a data management gateway;
an administration platform; and
a user interface;
wherein a EDT-X engine is configured to:
access the block chain distributed ledger;
receive transaction data from a user through the user interface;
generate marker data to be associated with the received data, wherein the generated marker data comprises:
a marker definition portion comprising a publicly visible meta tag associated with the transaction data, wherein the meta tag is searchable to allow the marker data to be retrieved within the block chain distributed ledger without revealing the transaction data; and
a marker ID portion comprising a unique alpha numeric file number assigned to the generated marker data, wherein the marker ID portion comprises non-searchable information that routes the marker data to the underlying transactional data, wherein the marker data provides a unique reference to the received data; and
store the marker data along with the received data in the block chain distributed ledger such that the marker data and the received data cannot be altered once stored in the block chain distributed ledger;
wherein the received data is stored secretly such that only authorized users may be able to view the received data in the block chain distributed ledger, while the associated marker definition portion of the marker data may be viewed publicly;
wherein the EDT-X engine is further configured to decode the marker data off of the block chain distributed ledger, and wherein the decoded marker data indicates what information in the anonymously stored in the data marker identification database belongs to a record being audited; and
wherein the publicly visible meta tag of the marker definition portion enables real-time visibility and the marker ID portion collectively enables monitoring of the transaction, without exposing the transaction data.
