Fujian Fulian Technology Applies for Patent on "Data Storage Method and System for IoT Based on Blockchain," Enhancing Data Security and Retrieval Efficiency

On November 27, 2024, the State Intellectual Property Office of China announced that Fujian Fulian Technology Co., Ltd. had applied for a patent titled "A Data Storage Method and System for IoT Based on Blockchain," with publication number CN119025594A and an application date of August 2024. This patent technology leverages blockchain technology to enhance the security and efficiency of Internet of Things (IoT) data storage. Its innovation lies in the ingenious combination of a dual-verification mechanism and hash algorithms to effectively address numerous challenges in IoT data storage.

The patent abstract details the method and system's workflow. First, the on-chain end receives raw data from IoT devices and calculates a first checksum (e.g., SHA-256 hash value). This first checksum is then sent to an independent verification end. The verification end also receives the same raw data and independently calculates a second checksum. Crucially, the verification end compares the two checksums for exact matches. If they match, verification is successful, and the on-chain end writes the raw data to the blockchain; if they don't match, it indicates potential data errors or tampering during transmission, and the system automatically discards the data, preventing erroneous information from polluting the blockchain.

This dual-verification mechanism is a significant highlight of the patent technology. It effectively ensures the integrity and consistency of on-chain and off-chain data. Traditional IoT data storage solutions are often vulnerable to data tampering, loss, or corruption. This patent technology, through on-chain and off-chain verification, effectively detects and prevents these issues, significantly improving data security. Any malicious tampering of the raw data will result in a mismatch between the two checksums, automatically identified and intercepted by the system, ensuring only complete and accurate data is finally stored on the blockchain.

Furthermore, the patent technology cleverly utilizes hash algorithms to optimize data retrieval efficiency and reduce collision rates. Hash algorithms can convert data of any length into a fixed-length hash value, which serves as the data's index on the blockchain. Retrieval based on hash values allows for quick data location without the need for individual data comparisons, significantly speeding up data retrieval. The characteristics of hash algorithms also reduce the probability of data collisions, minimizing resource waste and improving overall system efficiency. This is particularly important when handling massive data in IoT environments, as efficient data retrieval and low collision rates significantly reduce system latency and improve data processing capabilities, better supporting the real-time and reliability requirements of IoT applications.

Compared to existing IoT data storage technologies, this patent technology offers significant advantages. Traditional centralized storage solutions face single points of failure and data security risks; while some distributed storage solutions improve fault tolerance and security, they are often inefficient and struggle to meet the real-time and high-throughput demands of IoT applications. The blockchain-based solution proposed in this patent effectively combines the security, transparency, and distributed nature of blockchain technology, while optimized algorithm design ensures efficient data storage and retrieval.

This patent technology is not limited to simple IoT data storage; it can be applied to various scenarios requiring data security and integrity, such as supply chain management, healthcare, and industrial automation. In supply chain management, it can track a product's entire lifecycle, preventing counterfeit products from entering the market; in healthcare, it can ensure the security and integrity of patient medical data, preventing data leaks and tampering; and in industrial automation, it can ensure the reliability and real-time nature of industrial equipment operational data, improving production efficiency and safety.

In conclusion, Fujian Fulian Technology Co., Ltd.'s patent application for "Data Storage Method and System for IoT Based on Blockchain" effectively addresses security and efficiency issues in IoT data storage through the ingenious combination of blockchain technology, a dual-verification mechanism, and hash algorithms. This technology has broad application prospects and is expected to promote further development of IoT technology, contributing to the construction of a more secure and reliable IoT ecosystem. Its innovative dual-verification mechanism and the use of hash algorithms not only enhance data security and integrity but also significantly improve data retrieval efficiency and reduce system resource consumption, demonstrating the advanced and practical nature of this patent technology in the field of IoT data storage. The successful application of this technology will bring a significant technological upgrade to the IoT field and provide reference for other related areas. In the future, as the technology matures and improves, it is expected to be widely applied in more fields, providing strong technical support for digital transformation and intelligent development. The innovative efforts of Fujian Fulian Technology Co., Ltd. also contribute to the development of China's IoT industry.
