Detailed Description

In order to make those skilled in the art understand the technical solutions disclosed in the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the various embodiments will be described below with reference to the embodiments and the related drawings, and the described embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. The terms "first," "second," and the like as used in this disclosure are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover and not to exclude inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, or article or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements but may alternatively include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, system, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the disclosure. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 1, in one embodiment, the present disclosure discloses a manufacturing blockchain based information interaction system, comprising:

a base layer, an enterprise layer, an application layer, a data layer, wherein,

For the above embodiments, those skilled in the art are aware of the accepted definitions of the intelligent contracts, and are also aware of the signing and even transaction of the intelligent contracts that are often performed on the block chain, and details of the prior art related to the intelligent contracts in the art are not described herein.

For the above embodiment, it is assumed that information needs to be shared between two roles in the enterprise layer, for example: the manufacturer needs the supplier to provide the first information. When the above embodiments are combined with fig. 1, it can be understood that the application layer, the data layer, and the base layer can be regarded as a medium for information sharing between manufacturers and suppliers, where: the manufacturer can invoke the appropriate application to initiate a request for sharing the first information, via the data layer since the relevant input and output data are stored by the data layer, whereas the framework of sharing of the above embodiment is based on the block chain based base layer, which can be regarded as a layer to ensure information sharing security, trustworthiness, decentralization.

That is to say, the above-mentioned embodiment can solve the problem of information dependence in the modern manufacturing field, and particularly, how to obtain relevant information safely and reliably through the blockchain technology under the condition that the manufacturer does not have the first information. The intelligent contract signed by the system between at least two roles ensures the approval of each party to trust relationship, sharing record and even information copyright attribution by using a block chain-based technical means, thereby safely and reliably sharing the first information.

Therefore, through the above embodiment, at least two roles of the enterprise layer exchange information through the block chain based information sharing system, so that the information of the other party can be integrated while supporting the production and the operation of the business of one party.

It is understood that the first information may be some kind of knowledge, experience or other data required in the production, or some kind of knowledge, experience or other data required in the operation of the business. The first information may be for improving an industrial design of the product, may be for improving a performance of the product, and may be for improving a user experience of the product. Through the information sharing system based on the block chain, all the parties can complement each other in advantages, the respective core competitiveness is fully exerted, the respective required information is fully circulated, the development of modern manufacturing is promoted, and the worries of all the parties about the safety, credibility, sharing record and even intangible asset attribution represented by copyright attribution are solved to a certain degree.

It is emphasized that the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure are intended to take full advantage of the security and trustworthiness of blockchain technology, which is derived from its decentralized nature as well as the nature of P2P (also referred to as peer-to-peer, or end-to-end), as known to those skilled in the art. The above embodiment fully utilizes the characteristics that the computer status of each node in the P2P network is equal, each node has the same network power, and no centralized server exists, and the information sharing system utilizes the blockchain technology, which means that the information sharing system implements the signing of the intelligent contract and the information sharing by the nodes of the relevant parties through related protocols of the blockchain, thereby realizing the standard and interoperability of the framework, effectively solving the problem of how to balance the rights and interests between the ownership of the first information and the sharing of the first information in the case that the system comprises a plurality of parties, and further realizing the complementary advantages so as to greatly improve the production and business capability of the manufacturing industry.

It can be understood that in the above embodiments, in the modern manufacturing field, taking a manufacturer as an example, there is a situation where the manufacturer may be a manufacturer of one of the links, and it is likely that other enterprises which need to go up and down the mating link provide assistance to it in production or business, and provide some kind of information, so other parties may be suppliers, logistics suppliers, or distributors, or original design manufacturers ODMs, or data suppliers, or importers, and so on. It should be apparent that the various roles in the enterprise level are not limited by the above list.

In addition, when all the parties in the enterprise layer need to access the information sharing system, all the parties can access the enterprise layer through the respective client. At this time, these clients can be regarded as a hardware layer of the information sharing system. The client can be a computer, a smart phone, a tablet computer and the like.

In another embodiment, in addition to storing knowledge owned by various roles in the enterprise level in the knowledge base, the data stored in the data level includes data owned by various roles: data relating to the product, data relating to the customer, data relating to various processes, such as manufacturing processes, supply and marketing processes, etc.

Referring to fig. 2, in another embodiment,

the system further comprises a user layer;

the user layer provides external data, including: data from social networks, big data from the internet of things, big data from various internet applications, and data from other off-line.

It can be appreciated that there is limited information or data that each role in the enterprise level has in its own right. To address the possible shortage of data sources and to improve the data utilization capacity of the manufacturing industry, the system further includes a user layer that provides external data. The product serves the user, and the data fed back by the user is very important. The above embodiment additionally utilizes big data technology, and the external data includes: data from social networks, big data from the internet of things (e.g., sensory data collected from different products or services), big data from various internet applications (e.g., search engines, home pages, web portals, customer databases, online surveys, websites, etc.), and data from other offline sources (e.g., customer data obtained by market research, customer interviews, focus groups, etc.).

Referring to fig. 3, in another embodiment,

the system further comprises a smart inlay;

the intelligent layer utilizes artificial intelligence to process the data in the data layer.

For the purposes of this embodiment, it means that the system has artificial intelligence processing capabilities. In fact, from fig. 3, the smart inlay does not only focus on AI, i.e. artificial intelligence engine, but may also include, by way of example and not limitation: machine Learning (ML) engine, Data Mining (DM) engine, Pattern Recognition (PR) engine.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is,

the base layer also includes a Software Development Kit (SDK) that accommodates blockchains so that various roles of the enterprise layer create new applications at the application layer. Just like the software development kit comprised by the base layer shown in fig. 2, 3.

It can be understood that the embodiment expands the functions of the base layer, particularly the functions of secondary development, so that new applications can be created in the application layer, the deep-level requirements of various roles in the enterprise layer are met, and the expandability of the information sharing system is ensured.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is,

the application of the application layer comprises the following steps: customer Relationship Management System (CRMS), Supply Chain Management System (SCMS), Logistics Management System (LMS), document or Data Management System (DMS), Decision Support System (DSS), Manufacturing Execution System (MES), software Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) and Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP).

In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is,

the application layer also comprises a matching application used for matching potential information providers and information demanders in the enterprise layer.

For this embodiment, the purpose of the matching application is to facilitate potential information providers and information demanders as efficiently as possible, rather than having the information demanders passively wait for whether an information provider responds to its needs and initiates and ultimately enables information sharing through the signing of smart contracts. Obviously, this helps to improve the efficiency and success rate of information sharing. It can be understood that the matching application can be implemented by a third party other than the information provider and the information demander, and the third party can be a system operator or a qualified user on the system; in addition, the matching application can further comprise an instant communication unit based on a block chain, so that the information demand side can fully communicate and exchange with the information provider side.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is,

the sharing of the first information is by transferring information over a block chain based secure connection or a block chain independent secure connection.

It can be understood that when the secure connection is based on the block chain, the sharing of information is also based on the block chain, and the security and the non-tamper property can be greatly improved by using the block chain technology; however, there is a case: the information provider's internal regime may not want the first information itself to be transmitted on the blockchain, but its internal regime allows the information to be transmitted in a secure connection that it has full control of, which may then be independent of the blockchain.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is,

the first intelligent contract is established through a template.

With this embodiment, the corresponding intelligent contracts are established through the templates, which facilitates faster and standardized generation of the intelligent contracts. For example, the system may establish an association relationship between the requirement type of the information demander and the template in advance, and when a requirement of a specific type is received, quickly establish a corresponding intelligent contract through the corresponding template. The intelligent contract is established through the template, so that the implementation of the technical scheme of the disclosure is facilitated, and the user experience is further improved. As will be readily appreciated, the present disclosure does not exclude the following: if no appropriate template is available in the system, an appropriate template may be created by the user or administrator and added to the system, it being understood that such addition may need to be made available to an approver.

Further, examples of the sharing requirements of the first information and the intelligent contract template are given below:

first information sharing requirement:

id: first manufacturer

Requesting: requesting a full screen list of providers for a mobile phone

Intelligent contract template:

type (2): the field of mobile phones

User name: id

Contract parameters: {

File name: pdf of digital certificate

File path: c: certificate

}

Contract content: request for

Contract code: sol. info _ extract

Obviously, in the template example, the content of the "request" field of the first information sharing requirement is corresponding to the "contract content" in the template, the content of the "id" field of the first information sharing requirement is corresponding to the "user name" in the template, and the template calls the corresponding digital certificate by default to issue the intelligent contract. It is to be understood that the above is merely an example, and not a limitation, that the purpose is to apply templates and quickly generate smart contracts.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is,

the first information is original data directly provided for another role by other roles in the enterprise layer, or secondary data provided for the another role after secondary processing by the other roles.

With respect to this embodiment, directly providing the raw data means that the raw data can satisfy the demand of the information demander for the first information; however, there is another case: the original data is too numerous and needs to be provided to the first manufacturer in the form of secondary data after being processed secondarily by artificial intelligence processing, statistical processing or other data processing methods. It is to be understood that the purpose of this disclosure is not to suggest a specific secondary treatment approach.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the layers described as separate components may or may not be physically separate, may be located in one place, or may be distributed on multiple network elements; some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of the present embodiment. In addition, the connection relationship between the modules or units of the system provided by the present disclosure means that there is a communication connection therebetween, and may be implemented as one or more communication buses or signal lines. One of ordinary skill in the art can understand and implement it without inventive effort.

Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art will clearly understand that the present disclosure may be implemented by software plus necessary general hardware, and certainly may also be implemented by special hardware including special integrated circuits, special CPUs, special memories, special components and the like. Generally, functions performed by computer programs can be easily implemented by corresponding hardware, and specific hardware structures for implementing the same functions may be various, such as analog circuits, digital circuits, or dedicated circuits. However, software program implementation is a more preferred implementation for the present disclosure. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions of the present disclosure may be embodied in the form of a software product, where the computer software product is stored in a readable storage medium, such as a floppy disk, a usb disk, a removable hard disk, a Read-Only Memory (ROM), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a magnetic disk or an optical disk of a computer, and includes several instructions to enable a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, or a network device) to execute the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner, emphasis is placed on differences from other embodiments, and the same and similar parts among various embodiments can be referred to each other.
