Shandong University of Technology Software Acquires Patent for "Blockchain Node Upgrade System and Method for Avoiding Blockchain Forking"

On July 19, 2024, financial news reported that Tianyancha Intellectual Property Information showed that Shandong University of Technology Software Co., Ltd. had obtained a patent titled "Blockchain Node Upgrade System and Method for Avoiding Blockchain Forking," with an authorization announcement number of CN112114852B and an application date of September 2020.

This patent aims to address the common "forking" issue in blockchain technology. Blockchain forking occurs when nodes in the network fail to reach consensus on the latest block, resulting in the blockchain splitting into multiple branches. Forking can lead to data inconsistencies, transaction conflicts, and other issues, severely impacting the stability and security of the blockchain.

Shandong University of Technology Software's patented technology provides an innovative solution to avoid forking issues by introducing a "Blockchain Node Upgrade System." This system includes the following key components:

1. Data Model and/or Computational Model Manager: This manager stores data model metadata and/or computational model metadata, which define the operating logic and data structure of the blockchain node.

2. Data Model and/or Computational Model Developer: To adapt to different business needs, the system allows for the development of different versions of data model metadata and/or computational model metadata to meet various application scenarios.

3. Package Legality Detector: This detector examines each new version of the package to ensure that it can implement all operations defined in the corresponding model metadata. Only packages that pass the legality check can proceed to the next step.

4. Package Version Number Registrar: For packages that pass the legality check, the registrar assigns a new version number to the package and mounts it on the package manager.

5. Package Manager: This manager is responsible for scheduling work between different versions of the package. When users need to upgrade a node, they can specify a new package version number. The package manager will then find the corresponding package based on the version number and execute the upgrade operation.

Through these steps, Shandong University of Technology Software's patented technology ensures that each node uses the same code and data model, effectively preventing forking issues.

The application of this patented technology will significantly enhance the stability, security, and scalability of blockchain systems, providing a reliable guarantee for the widespread adoption of blockchain technology.

Shandong University of Technology Software has been actively engaged in software technology research and development, accumulating extensive experience and technical expertise in blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, and other fields. The acquisition of this patent showcases Shandong University of Technology Software's innovative capabilities in blockchain technology, laying a solid foundation for its future breakthroughs.
