Tencent Applies for Patent on "Blockchain Virtual Resource Transfer Method" to Enhance Virtual Asset Security

On January 31, 2025, the State Intellectual Property Office of China revealed that Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. filed a patent application titled "Blockchain Virtual Resource Transfer Method, Apparatus, and Blockchain System," with publication number CN119379280A, and application date of July 2023. This patent application aims to improve the security of blockchain virtual resource transfers, prevent sensitive information leakage, and further refine virtual asset management systems.

The patent abstract details the design philosophy and operational mechanism of the method, apparatus, and blockchain system. The core of the method lies in simplifying the virtual resource transfer process and enhancing security. Specifically, the method includes several key steps: First, in response to a blockchain virtual resource transfer request, the system automatically generates a dedicated blockchain account for storing the blockchain virtual resource. This step ensures that each transaction is managed with an independent account, reducing the risk of information leakage.

Second, the system identifies the sender's virtual resources to be transferred and initiates a resource transfer on-chain request to the newly generated blockchain account. This request is processed and verified by on-chain processing nodes, ensuring the legality and validity of the transaction. This process strictly adheres to the decentralized and transparent principles of blockchain technology, improving transaction reliability.

Once the resource transfer on-chain request is successfully processed and confirmed by the on-chain processing nodes, the system generates resource retrieval information. This information instructs the recipient to retrieve at least a portion of the sender's virtual resources from the newly generated blockchain account. This step cleverly avoids the need for the sender to obtain the recipient's account information in advance, and eliminates direct interaction between the sender and recipient, effectively protecting user privacy data.

This mechanism effectively addresses security vulnerabilities present in traditional virtual resource transfer methods. Traditional methods often require the sender to know the recipient's account information beforehand, significantly increasing the risk of sensitive information exposure. Tencent's proposed method cleverly circumvents this risk, eliminating the need for direct interaction or prior account information sharing, maximizing user data security.

The significance of this patent application lies in its significant improvement to the security of blockchain virtual resource transfers. In today's rapidly developing digital economy, the security of virtual assets is paramount. The innovation of Tencent's patent application lies in its optimization and improvement of existing technologies, providing a more secure and reliable solution for virtual resource transfer. It effectively prevents information leakage, reduces fraud risk, and provides users with more secure and convenient virtual asset management services.

This innovative technical solution is not only applicable to the transfer of virtual assets such as digital currency, but can also be extended to other areas, including the transfer and management of digital copyrights, game props, and virtual land. Its broad application prospects give this patent application significant commercial value and social significance.
