Xiamen Annie Enterprise Applies for Patent on Blockchain-Based Anti-Counterfeiting and Traceability System, Enhancing Product Traceability Security

On December 5, 2024, the State Intellectual Property Office of China revealed that Xiamen Annie Enterprise Co., Ltd. applied for a patent titled "A Blockchain-Based Anti-Counterfeiting and Traceability System and Method," with publication number CN119067680A and an application date of August 2024. This patented technology is expected to significantly improve the security and efficiency of product anti-counterfeiting and traceability, providing consumers with more reliable product information assurance.

This patented technology aims to address the security and reliability issues of existing product anti-counterfeiting and traceability systems. Traditional technologies, such as QR codes and RFID, are susceptible to copying, tampering, and information leakage, hindering the effective guarantee of product traceability authenticity and integrity. This blockchain-based patent overcomes these shortcomings, providing a new approach to building a secure and reliable product traceability system.

The patent abstract details the system's structure and operation mechanism. The system consists of four core modules: a business module, a blockchain traceability and security module, a query and supervision module, and an encryption and decryption module. These modules work together to achieve tracking and management of the entire product lifecycle.

First, the business module collects and records business data throughout the product's journey from production to sales. This data includes crucial information such as production date, batch number, sales channels, and personnel involved, providing basic data support for subsequent traceability work. The completeness and accuracy of this information are crucial for ensuring the reliability of traceability results.

Second, the blockchain traceability and security module is the core of the system. This module utilizes distributed storage units to store participant records, ensuring data security and reliability. The application of distributed storage technology avoids the single point of failure risk associated with centralized data storage, effectively improving the system's fault tolerance and data security. More importantly, this module utilizes a beacon chain within a blockchain beacon chain system, employing a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism to verify participant records through consensus, ensuring data authenticity and immutability. Compared to Proof-of-Work, PoS offers higher energy efficiency and lower operating costs, crucial for large-scale blockchain applications.

Furthermore, this module uses smart contracts stored on the main chain within the blockchain beacon chain system to generate Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for each product. The unique properties of NFTs allow for the unique identification of each product, effectively preventing counterfeit goods. These NFTs are randomly stored on any shard chain within the blockchain beacon chain system, further enhancing data security and decentralization, and reducing the risk of single-point attacks.

Third, the query and supervision module provides a convenient query interface for consumers and regulatory authorities to access product information. Users only need to input the product's Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the system to quickly retrieve and return the complete traceability information, including production information, circulation links, and sales records. This design enhances the transparency and traceability of traceability information, providing consumers with more reliable product information assurance and regulatory authorities with more effective regulatory tools.

Finally, the encryption and decryption module ensures the security of participant records. By encrypting sensitive data, it effectively prevents data leakage and tampering, maintaining data confidentiality and integrity. This module design safeguards the overall security and reliability of the system and protects the commercial interests of participants.

In summary, Xiamen Annie Enterprise's patented blockchain-based anti-counterfeiting and traceability system cleverly combines blockchain technology, distributed storage technology, smart contract technology, and encryption technology to effectively solve many problems encountered in traditional anti-counterfeiting and traceability systems. The system is secure, reliable, efficient, convenient, and highly traceable. It is expected to be widely used in food safety, pharmaceutical safety, luxury goods anti-counterfeiting, and other fields, contributing to a safer and more transparent business environment. The successful application of this patented technology will not only enhance the competitiveness of enterprises' products but also increase consumer trust and promote the healthy development of the entire industry. In the future, with the continuous development and improvement of blockchain technology, this patented technology is expected to be further upgraded and improved, providing stronger technological support for building a more complete product traceability system. Its innovation lies in the combination of a blockchain beacon chain system and NFTs, leveraging Proof-of-Stake to improve efficiency and using distributed storage to enhance security, demonstrating its significant advantages in addressing practical problems. The promotion and application of this patented technology will undoubtedly have a profound impact on enhancing product traceability security and building a trustworthy business environment.
