Distributed ledger transaction data record set

Glossary

Term Definitions Blockchain A distributed database that uses cryptographic methods to link data blocks together to ensure data security and immutability. Distributed database A database system where data is stored in multiple physical locations and managed by multiple nodes connected by a network. Transaction data record records transaction information that occurs on the blockchain, such as transfers, smart contract executions, etc. Smart contracts are codes stored on the blockchain that are automatically executed when preset conditions are met. Hash value An algorithm that maps data of arbitrary length to a fixed-length string, used to verify data integrity. Merkle tree A tree-like data structure used to efficiently verify the integrity of large amounts of data. Semantic classification Classifies data based on its meaning, such as categorizing transactions related to electricity. Search terms are used to find keywords for specific types of transactions, such as "electricity", "smart grid". Search tree A tree-like data structure used to efficiently organize and retrieve search terms. Node A participant in a blockchain network who is responsible for verifying and disseminating transaction information. Publish-Subscribe model A messaging model in which publishers publish messages to specific topics and subscribers subscribe to topics of interest to receive messages.

Answers to short-answer questions

Blockchain is a distributed database that uses cryptographic methods to link data blocks together to ensure data security and immutability. Unlike traditional databases, blockchain data is distributed and stored on multiple nodes, and there is no centralized management agency.

Merkle tree is a tree-shaped data structure where each node is a combination of the hash values ​​of its child nodes. In blockchain, Merkle tree is used to efficiently verify the integrity of transaction data, and only a small number of hash values ​​need to be checked to verify the data of the entire block.

Smart contracts are codes stored on the blockchain that are automatically executed when preset conditions are met. For example, in supply chain management, smart contracts can be used to automatically execute payments, automatically triggering the payment process when goods arrive at a specified location.

Semantic classification is the classification of data based on its meaning. In blockchain, transactions can be semantically classified according to their content, such as classifying transactions related to electricity, making it easier for users to find and analyze transactions of a specific type.

A search tree is a tree-like data structure used to efficiently organize and retrieve search terms. Each node represents a search term, and child nodes represent more specific search terms. Using a search tree, blockchain transactions containing specific search terms can be quickly located.

The publish-subscribe model is a messaging model in which publishers publish messages to specific topics and subscribers subscribe to topics of interest to receive messages. In a blockchain environment, the publish-subscribe model can be used to notify users of specific types of transactions, such as notifying a power company when a transaction related to electricity occurs.

Blockchain nodes are participants in a blockchain network and are responsible for verifying and disseminating transaction information. Nodes maintain copies of the blockchain and ensure data consistency through a consensus mechanism.

A hash value is an algorithm that maps data of arbitrary length to a fixed-length string. In blockchain, each data block contains the hash value of the previous data block, forming a chain structure. Any change to the data will change its hash value, thereby destroying the chain structure and ensuring that the data cannot be tampered with.

The invention described in this research material solves the problem that blockchain transaction data is huge and difficult to retrieve and analyze, especially for resource-constrained devices such as IoT devices.

One potential application scenario of the invention is smart grid management. Power companies can use the invention to semantically classify power transactions and use the publish-subscribe model to monitor power transactions in real time and optimize power distribution and scheduling.
