Description

Blockchain real-time ecosystem operation method and system {METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING BLOCKCHAIN REAL TIME ECOSYSTEM}

In the data processing performed within the blockchain system, the present invention grants data processing authority to a node with high reliability that can process data, and forms a separate group for the authorized node, It relates to a blockchain real-time ecosystem operation method and system that can increase data processing speed by allowing nodes to process data, and also provide rewards to nodes that have substantially contributed to the maintenance of the blockchain system.

Blockchain refers to a data distribution processing technology that distributes and stores all data that is managed by all users participating in the network of the system. Unlike the conventional storage and management of digital data such as transaction books and documents in a centralized server, the blockchain system stores and manages the accumulated digital data in the devices (nodes) of a plurality of participants connected through the network. Data processing in the block chain system is performed through a node's block generation (or mining) operation. In the conventional block chain system, rewards are paid only to the node performing the block generation operation. Competition was provoked between nodes to do work In addition, there is no node verification operation to prevent the risk of block generation by unauthorized nodes, so security is low, and as the workload is concentrated on a specific node, there is a problem that the data processing speed may be very slow.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows. Here, repeated descriptions, well-known functions that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, and detailed descriptions of configurations are omitted. The embodiments of the present invention are provided in order to more completely explain the present invention to those of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, the shapes and sizes of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clearer description.

Throughout the specification, when a part "includes" a certain component, it means that other components may be further included, rather than excluding other components, unless otherwise stated.

In addition, the term "...unit" described in the specification means a unit for processing one or more functions or operations, which may be implemented as hardware or software or a combination of hardware and software.

First, the blockchain real time ecosystem according to an embodiment of the present invention can be said to be a type of a blockchain system or a blockchain usage environment used in a general sense, and the It may mean a characteristic block chain system or block chain use environment operated based on the components according to an embodiment. Also, accordingly, the blockchain system described in this specification can be interpreted as the blockchain real-time ecosystem.

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 will largely include a node selection unit 101 , a node group formation unit 102 , a node order setting unit 103 , and a block verification unit 104 . can In addition, in an embodiment, it may be configured to further include a compensation payment unit 105 . The blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 shown in FIG. 1 is according to an embodiment, and its components are not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and some components may be added, changed or may be deleted.

The node selector 101 may select a block generating node for generating a block among nodes included in the block chain system and storing a transaction in the generated block.

In this regard, FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a selected block generating node of the blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 , an unspecified plurality of participating in the blockchain system network may exist in the aforementioned blockchain system, and each of the unspecified plurality may be represented as a node (NODE) in the blockchain system.

The node selector 101 may select a node as a block generating node by determining a node that satisfies a predefined reliability criterion and granting a block generating authority.

Here, NODE 1, NODE 2, NODE 3, and NODE 4 of FIG. 2 represent a case of a block generating node selected by the node selector 101 according to an embodiment of the present invention, but the node selector 101 ), the number of block generating nodes selected by ) can be changed more or less.

The node group forming unit 102 may form a group for the selected block generating node.

In this regard, FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a node group formed in the blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3A , the node group forming unit 102 formed groups for NODE 1 , NODE 2 , NODE 3 and NODE 4 which are the block generating nodes selected in FIG. 2 , and the node group represented in FIG. 3A is a node line. It should be noted that it is made based on the block generation node selected by the government 101 and is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3A.

The node order setting unit 103 may set the block generation order of the grouped block generating nodes so that the grouped block generating nodes sequentially generate blocks.

Also, when a block generating node in a group generates blocks for a predetermined time or more or a predetermined number of times or more, the node order setting unit 103 may cause a subsequent block generating node in the group to generate a block.

Also, the block generating node that generates the block may generate the block at a predetermined cycle.

Taking the example of Fig. 3b, the block generation process of the block generating node will be described in detail. First, Fig. 3b shows block generation and verification made within a node group of the blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a drawing for explaining the process. 3B shows an embodiment when NODE 1 is set to generate a block for the first time. When NODE 1 generates a block in FIG. 3B , the block can be generated until a predefined time or a predefined number of times (eg, 60 minutes or 60 times) is satisfied in the blockchain system, at this time NODE 1 can generate a block every predefined period based on the transaction it receives, and NODE 2 and NODE 3 that can be set as subsequent block generation nodes when the above-mentioned predefined time or predefined number is satisfied. and NODE 4 may then generate a block. For example, assuming that the block generation cycle in the blockchain system is 1 second and the predefined number of block generation is 60, NODE 1 creates a block for 60 seconds, and the subsequent node (one of NODE 2 to 4) blocks generation is performed, and this process may be repeated until all block generation nodes (NODEs 1 to 4) belonging to the group complete block generation. Also, the size of one fully generated block may be 8 Mega byte, in this regard, for example, when NODE 1 generates 4 megabytes when creating a block and subsequent nodes (one of NODE 2 to 4) can create a complete block by generating 4 megabytes, and subsequent nodes that have not yet created a block can create a new block.

Also, when all the block generating nodes in the formed group sequentially complete block generation, the node order setting unit 103 may set a new block generation order for the block generating nodes in the formed group.

Here, the new block generation order may be the same as or different from the block generation order set by the node order setting unit 103 immediately before, and the node order setting unit 103 determines the block generation order of the block generation nodes. Each time you set it up again, you can check the status of the nodes in the group again and set the block generation order of the block generation nodes based on this. At this time, if the node state does not meet the predetermined criteria, blocks may be generated through only other nodes in the group except for the corresponding node. Here, the node state may include the node's network continuity ability in the blockchain system or the node's reliability.

In addition, the node order setting unit 103 grants voting rights for nodes located outside the group to determine the block generation order for the nodes in the group, and reflects the voting results to block the block generation nodes in the group You can set the creation order.

The block verification unit 104 may verify the generated block based on the transaction stored in the generated block.

Also, the block verification unit 104 may check whether the generated block is generated according to the set block generation order through the block generation node in the group.

In addition, the block verification unit 104 checks whether the transaction stored in the block is stored redundantly, the hash tree, the version, the time stamp, and the signature information of the block generating node through the block generating node in the group. can

The verification process of the block verification unit 104 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3B and 3C. First, FIG. 3C is a block chain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 in the node group according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a diagram for explaining a propagation process of a verified block. In FIG. 3B , NODE 1 first generates a block according to the order set by the above-described node order setting unit 103, and the block generated by NODE 1 is verified through other nodes (NODEs 2 to 4) in the group. this is expressed At this time, the nodes NODEs 2 to 4 performing verification by the block verification unit 104 may perform verification whenever NODE 1 generates a block according to a cycle, or at the time when NODE 1 finishes block generation. Verification can be performed temporarily, and verification can be performed in both cases. In addition, when all the block generating nodes in the group complete block generation according to the order set by the above-described node order setting unit 103, the block verifying unit 104 passes through all the nodes NODEs 1 to 4 in the group. verification can be performed.

3C shows a state in which the block is propagated to all nodes in the block chain system when verification of the block generated in the group by the block verification unit 104 is completed.

The reward payment unit 105 may provide a reward for each node based on activity data for each node.

Here, the activity data may include the size of block data held by each node included in the block chain system and network connection maintenance time for each node included in the block chain system.

In addition, the compensation payment unit 105 is confirmed from the first compensation time including the time when the last compensation is paid and the time of operation of the management server for the block chain system to the second compensation time when a new compensation can be paid. Rewards can be paid based on activity data.

In addition, the compensation payment unit 105 may determine whether compensation is to be paid based on the above-described activity data, and may equally distribute and pay the entire compensation resource to each node determined to be a compensation payment target.

When the reward payment process for nodes in the blockchain system is described in detail with reference to FIG. 3C, the block verified in the group by the block verification unit 104 is spread to all nodes in the blockchain system, and this process is Each node spread in the blockchain system through the blockchain system holds the block data for the created block as long as it maintains the network for the blockchain system at the time the block is created. Therefore, the block chain system according to an embodiment of the present invention determines whether to contribute to the block chain system based on the block data each node in the block chain system has and the network maintenance time for the system, and A reward can be paid to a node that satisfies the criteria for branch items. The total compensation resources may refer to the compensation resources secured from the first compensation point to the second compensation time point at which a new compensation can be paid. Accordingly, the total compensation resources determined each time the second compensation point arrives are All of them may vary, and the number of nodes receiving an equal distribution of all compensation resources by the compensation payment unit 105 may also vary whenever the second compensation time arrives. Here, the above-mentioned total compensation resources can be determined based on transaction fees generated through the blockchain system.

Next, the blockchain real-time ecosystem operation process through the blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 4 .

4 is a flowchart for explaining the blockchain real-time ecosystem operation process through the blockchain real-time ecosystem operating system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , a node for generating a block is selected based on the reliability of the node in the block chain system through the node selection unit 101 ( S401 ).

Next, a group is formed for a node selected to generate a block through the node group forming unit 102 so that a block generating node included in the formed group performs block generation (S402).

Next, the block generation order of the block generation nodes in the group formed through the node order setting unit 103 is determined ( S403 ).

Next, the block generated by the block generating node is verified through the block verification unit 104, and verification may be performed through a plurality of steps in the block generation process (S404).

Next, as the verification process is completed and block data (transactions) are propagated to all nodes in the block chain system, each node in the block chain system holds activity data and satisfies the reward payment criteria for activity data. The node receives a reward through the reward payment unit 105 (S405).
