Tencent Applies for Blockchain Data Processing Patent to Reduce Storage Costs

Financial News, October 24, 2024 - According to the information from the State Intellectual Property Office, Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has applied for a patent titled "Blockchain-based Data Processing Method, Device, Equipment and Readable Storage Medium", with publication number CN118797696A, filed in April 2023.

This patent aims to address the issue of excessive resource consumption in storing object attribute data in existing blockchain technologies. Its core lies in proposing a blockchain-based data processing method that stores object attribute data in the block log instead of directly in the state database, effectively reducing data storage resource consumption.

Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

1. Execute Business Data: Execute business data related to the first object in the first block, obtaining the business execution result for the first object.

2. Obtain Object Attribute Data: The business execution result contains one or more object attributes for the first object and the corresponding object attribute data for each attribute.

3. Call the Object Data Storage Contract: Confirm whether the state database stores the block number associated with the first object.

4. Get the Maximum Block Number: If the state database stores the block number associated with the first object, obtain the maximum block number and historical adjacent block numbers from the state database. The maximum block number is the block number corresponding to the first block.

5. Store Data: Store the first object identifier corresponding to the first object and the maximum block number in the state database, and simultaneously store the first object identifier, the business execution result and the historical adjacent block numbers in the block log corresponding to the first block.

By storing object attribute data in the block log, this method avoids storing all object attribute data in the state database, effectively reducing data storage resource consumption. At the same time, this method takes advantage of the characteristics of blockchain to ensure data storage security and integrity.

The application of this patent indicates Tencent's active exploration and innovation in the field of blockchain technology, dedicated to promoting the application of blockchain technology in data storage, security and efficiency. It is believed that the application of this patent technology will help to reduce the application cost of blockchain technology and promote its application in more fields.
