## Abstract

A system for facilitating asynchronous digital transactions among a plurality of computer-controlled devices associated with a plurality of respective nodes. The system includes a first digital information database to store computerized identity information pertaining to the plurality of respective nodes and the associated plurality of computer-controlled devices. The system further includes a cognitive interactive human-machine interface configured to allow the plurality of computer-controlled devices and the associated nodes to interact digitally among them and with the system and with an external authorized node. The cognitive interactive human-machine interface is configured to receive at least one sensed stimulus from at least one of the computer-controlled devices and transmit digital information contained in the at least one sensed stimulus at least in part to the external authorized node to annotate the digital information by generating a digital input.

## Independent claims

1. A distributed-architecture based-system for facilitating collaborative asynchronous digital transactions enabled through a blockchain configured digital integrity network among a plurality of computer-controlled devices associated with a plurality of respective nodes, said system comprising: a first digital information database to store computerized identity files pertaining to said plurality of respective nodes and said associated plurality of computer-controlled devices; a cognitive interactive human-machine interface configured to allow said plurality of computer-controlled devices and said associated nodes to interact digitally among them and with said system and with an external authorized node, wherein said cognitive interactive human-machine interface is configured to receive at least one sensed stimulus from at least one of said computer-controlled devices and transmit digital information contained in said at least one sensed stimulus at least in part to said external authorized node to annotate said digital information by generating a digital input, wherein said digital input is indicative of a change or no change in a digital planned scheme of delivery for a node associated with said at least one of said computer-controlled devices that generates said at least one sensed stimulus; a controller communicatively connected with said authorized external node and with said cognitive interactive human-machine interface to process said at least one sensed stimulus for comprehension and conversion into said digital information for transmission to said external authorized node and to process said digital input received from said external authorized node, wherein said controller comprises: a blockchain configured identity validation device to verify identity of said at least one of said plurality of computer-controlled devices generating said sensed stimulus based on said pre-stored identity information in said first digital information database and an electronic signature received from said at least one of said computer-controlled devices along with said at least one sensed stimulus; a computerized trust system including a memory circuit and a special purpose processor that evaluates trustworthiness and device integrity of said at least one of said computer-controlled devices that generates said at least one sensed stimulus associated with said respective node participating in said asynchronous digital transactions and generate a digital signal indicative of a trust score associated with said at least one of said computer-controlled devices and said associated node; wherein said controller is configured to: attest veracity and trustworthiness of said at least one sensed stimulus based on inputs received from said blockchain configured identity validation device and said computerized trust system such that an attestation is indicative of a change in said digital planned scheme of delivery based on said sensed stimulus; and attest identity of said external authorized node based on a node token received by said controller from said external authorized node, wherein said node token represents a unique digital identity of said authorized external node; cause said blockchain configured network to update said digital planned scheme of delivery in view of said determined change in said digital planned scheme of delivery as identified from said digital input received from said external authorized node; and notify said at least one of said computer-controlled devices of said determined change; the notifying comprising: generating an electric signal comprising data signifying said determined change and instructions for compliance toward an updated digital planned scheme of delivery; transmitting said electric signal in said network comprising said plurality of communicatively linked computer-controlled devices; converting said electric signal into a plurality of pixels; and displaying said plurality of pixels on a display unit of said at least one of said computer-controlled devices to launch an activation message that includes an instruction in accordance with said determined change and said updated planned scheme of delivery.
