CATL Applies for Data Sharing Patent to Enhance Blockchain Data Accuracy

On December 9, 2024, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) revealed that Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) and its subsidiary, Ningde Times Future Energy (Shanghai) Research Institute Co., Ltd., jointly filed a patent application titled "Data Sharing Method, Device, Electronic Equipment and Computer-Readable Storage Medium," with publication number CN119088774A. The application, filed in June 2023, aims to address critical issues in data sharing and improve the application effectiveness of blockchain technology in data security and accuracy.

The patent abstract details a novel data sharing method that enhances the accuracy of data retrieval from the blockchain by incorporating feature description information. Specifically, the method involves these steps: First, the system acquires the data to be shared and its corresponding feature description information. This information serves as a data "identity" or "metadata," including details such as data source, type, and timestamp. These additions are crucial for ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

Second, the system determines which data needs to be uploaded to the blockchain based on the data and its feature description information. This selective uploading strategy reduces blockchain storage burden and improves data processing efficiency. The patent demonstrates a thoughtful approach, acknowledging and addressing blockchain's limitations to achieve a more efficient and economical solution.

Finally, the filtered data is sent to a second device connected to the blockchain. This implies a two-device network architecture: one for data processing and filtering, and another connected to the blockchain. This design ensures data sharing security and blockchain integrity. The feature description information safeguards data authenticity and integrity during transmission, minimizing the risk of data tampering or loss.

Through these steps, CATL's patented technology significantly improves the accuracy of data retrieval from the blockchain. Traditional methods are susceptible to data contamination and tampering, compromising accuracy. This patent innovatively introduces feature description information as a data verification mechanism, combined with a selective uploading strategy, effectively addressing these issues. This is highly valuable for industries demanding high data security and accuracy, such as the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector.

The patent's application prospects are vast. In the NEV sector, data sharing is crucial for battery management systems, charging networks, and vehicle driving data. Accurate and reliable data sharing improves battery life prediction accuracy, optimizes charging network efficiency, and enhances vehicle driving safety. This technology provides CATL and its partners with a more reliable and secure data sharing solution, accelerating NEV industry development.

Beyond NEVs, the technology has broad applications in other data-sharing industries, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and supply chain management. Its accuracy-enhancing capabilities offer improved efficiency and reduced risks. CATL's innovation in data sharing technology showcases its R&D strength and foresight in future technology.

The successful patent application marks a breakthrough in CATL's blockchain technology application, solidifying its industry leadership and providing a stronger foundation for future development. We anticipate broader application, contributing significantly to secure and efficient data sharing. CATL's continued investment in technological innovation as a leading NEV company will positively impact the entire industry.

The patent's publication provides a valuable reference for other companies. With growing emphasis on data security and transparency, efficient and reliable data sharing technologies are increasingly vital. CATL's patent may drive the industry toward safer and more efficient data sharing, ultimately benefiting society and promoting the healthy development of the information age. We will continue to monitor the patent's progress and its applications in various fields.
