COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240220972 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
The patent application is related to a communication method and apparatus involving the modification of transactions stored in a blockchain.
- A first node sends a message containing request information or information about a transaction.
- The request information is used to modify a second transaction in the blockchain.
- The first transaction is a modified version of the second transaction.
- The blockchain consists of multiple blocks, each containing fields for storing values or hash values.
- Editability of the blockchain is implemented using hash values to ensure data integrity.
- Key Features and Innovation:**
- Communication method for modifying transactions in a blockchain.
- Use of request information to initiate transaction modifications.
- Implementation of editability in the blockchain using hash values.
- Potential Applications:**
- Secure communication and modification of transactions in financial systems.
- Data integrity and audit trails in supply chain management.
- Smart contracts and decentralized applications in blockchain technology.
- Problems Solved:**
- Ensuring data integrity in blockchain transactions.
- Facilitating secure communication for transaction modifications.
- Enhancing transparency and auditability in decentralized systems.
- Benefits:**
- Improved security and trust in blockchain transactions.
- Efficient communication for transaction modifications.
- Enhanced data integrity and transparency in decentralized systems.
- Commercial Applications:**
Potential commercial applications include:
- Financial institutions for secure transaction processing.
- Supply chain companies for transparent and auditable transactions.
- Blockchain developers for implementing smart contracts and decentralized applications.
- Questions about the Technology:**
1. How does the communication method ensure the security of transaction modifications? 2. What are the potential implications of using hash values for implementing editability in the blockchain?
Original Abstract Submitted
this application relates to a communication method and apparatus. a first node sends a first message. the first message includes at least one of request information and information about a first transaction, the request information is used to request to modify a second transaction, the first transaction is a modified second transaction, and the second transaction is stored in a first blockchain. the first blockchain includes n blocks, an iblock in the first blockchain includes a first field and a second field, and the second field is used to store a second preset value or a second hash value of a previous block whose block height is the same as a block height of the iblock. editability of the block is implemented by using the first hash value, to implement editability of the blockchain.
