Tencent Applies for "Identification Information Generation" Patent, Enhancing Data Security and Uniqueness

On October 29, 2024, information from the State Intellectual Property Office of China revealed that Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has filed a patent for a "method and device for generating identification information, electronic equipment, and storage medium," with publication number CN118822723A and application date of April 2023. This patent aims to enhance the security and uniqueness of identification information through blockchain technology.

According to the patent abstract, the method involves storing transaction data corresponding to a transaction request from a client in the blockchain, and then retrieving the block identifier information of the block to which the transaction data belongs and the location information of the transaction data within the block from the blockchain. Subsequently, based on the block identifier information and location information, identification information is generated and sent to the client. The client can use this identification information to uniquely identify the object requiring identification.

The core of this technology lies in utilizing the tamper-proof and transparent properties of blockchain to ensure the security of identification information. By storing transaction data in the blockchain and generating identification information based on block identifier information and location information, it effectively prevents data from being tampered with or forged. Moreover, as the identification information generation process is open and transparent, it effectively enhances data traceability and subsequently strengthens data credibility.

The application scenarios of this patent technology are extensive. For instance, it can be used for the management and trading of digital assets, ensuring the authenticity and uniqueness of digital assets. It can also be utilized for copyright protection, preventing works from being stolen or copied. Additionally, it can be employed in supply chain management, ensuring the traceability of product sources and preventing counterfeit or substandard products from entering the market.

Tencent's application for this patent highlights its continuous investment and exploration in blockchain technology. In the future, as blockchain technology continues to evolve and be adopted, this patented technology is expected to play a significant role in more fields, providing new technological support for the development of the digital economy.
