NVIDIA had one patents in blockchain during Q4 2023. NVIDIA Corp filed a patent for a semi-public blockchain on a map cloud platform to maintain a global map of a geographic area. The blockchain includes data records associated with map updates, with nodes determining consensus through proofs like location, iterations, physical delivery, and safety. Validated map updates are added to the blockchain with timestamps and links to prior records. GlobalData’s report on NVIDIA gives a 360-degreee view of the company including its patenting strategy.

Application: Method and apparatus for enabling map updates using a blockchain platform (Patent ID: US20230314168A1)
The patent filed by NVIDIA Corp. describes a semi-public blockchain maintained on a map cloud platform for updating a global map of a geographic area. The blockchain involves nodes that reach consensus on map updates by evaluating proofs such as location, iterations, physical delivery, and safety. Once consensus is reached, validated map updates are added to the blockchain with timestamps and links to prior data records. The patent also includes claims related to processors, systems, and computer-implemented methods for updating distributed databases with map updates based on location information from mobile units, confirming routes, and utilizing confirmations generated by multiple mobile units associated with the distributed databases.
The patent outlines a system that utilizes mobile units to update maps on distributed databases based on location information and confirmations generated by comparing routes of different mobile units. The technology is applicable to autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles and can be implemented in various systems such as control systems, perception systems, simulation operations, deep learning operations, data centers, and cloud computing resources. The method involves receiving location information, comparing it to other location data, generating confirmations, and updating distributed databases with map updates. The patent emphasizes the use of distributed ledgers and nodes within the mobile units to facilitate the updating process efficiently and accurately.
