Ma Yun applied for blockchain patent

1. Alibaba
IPR daily, an intellectual property media, recently released a report, which listed the number of blockchain invention patents published in the world from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, among which China ranked first, accounting for 67% of patent applications. Alibaba ranked first with 322 patents, followed by Ping An of China, with 274 patents, Third, nchain has 241 patents.

2. Recently, the hottest investment is bitcoin. From financial tycoons to ordinary people, they are talking about the surge of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a kind of blockchain. I believe there are still many people who don't know much about blockchain, so today we will explain in detail what blockchain is? How to search blockchain technology patents? What is blockchain? More than 10000 years ago, human beings began to learn to use shells as an intermediary for exchanging materials, and later developed into currency. With the development of network, the circulation of digital currency has graally replaced the traditional currency, and now people's payment methods have undergone unprecedented changes. The emergence of encrypted electronic currencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum and litecoin has further prompted the whole financial system to face up to and start thinking about transformation. However, there is an important technical support behind the development of encrypted e-money which is not affected by the traditional financial system;; Block chain. Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system. How to search blockchain technology patents Blockchain Revolution & sup1; A book has mentioned that blockchain is a public database, which records all transaction information and can effectively prevent tampering; It is a distributed system, which does not store on a specific server or node, but scattered in countless nodes on the network, each node only retains part of the information; It is a kind of consensus agreement, which follows a mechanism together. As the underlying technology behind cryptocurrency, including identity authentication, medical record preservation, market forecasting, asset trading, etc., blockchain is graally applied. To observe the patent applications related to global blockchain technology, the author suggests that you should refer to the definitions of block chain, distributed ledger and smart contract to expand your search conditions, rather than only limited to the patents using the word block chain. What is blockchain? How to search blockchain technology patents? If you have more questions about patent inquiry, you can continue to pay attention to Bajie intellectual property or contact us by telephone.

the definition of blockchain

in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chained data structure that combines data blocks in a sequential way according to the time sequence, and it is a distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptography

broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access It is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method to program and operate data by using intelligent contract composed of automated script code

there are many channels to learn blockchain

① you can buy some books related to blockchain, learn some knowledge related to blockchain, take notes in your spare time, and consult relevant information

② watch some videos of blockchain on the Internet, the contents of which are easy to understand, with relevant examples, It's also a very good way to learn

③ you can take part in some offline blockchain learning exchange meetings, or take part in some training courses, and some teachers will answer questions for you

to sum up,

all roads lead to Rome. There are many channels to learn blockchain, and the best one is suitable for you

4. Not all companies apply for patents for their own inventions, and not all patents can lead to viable procts or uses. However, according to the data, we can see that the development and application of blockchain technology is recognized in the society, and it also indicates that it may create barriers to entry.

5. Specifically, a large number of distributed points are used to record transactions instead of central records. In this way, the data can not be changed and trust is generated. Further, mediation is used. Logic comes step by step. Now, there are a lot of online blockchain training, which are the most basic contents. No one raised or answered the problems of distributed storage. Through research, I think the most important point for blockchain to be implemented is whether distributed storage can be realized? This problem is actually a problem, at least for now. Is the capacity of the storage point sufficient? Many training institutions often use Taobao to do the case. Buyers and sellers have data on Taobao. Alipay makes intermediary guarantees to ensure that both parties can trade normally. Blockchain technology allows each distribution point to keep accounts, so the storage capacity of each distribution point is estimated to be less than 1 / 100 million of Taobao. How can it be stored? It is impossible to make every point prepare the same storage as Taobao. From the scale, capital are not allowed, even if it can, it can not, because this rendancy is too large, you can imagine, millions of Taobao storage scale, how a waste of resources. The storage space of home computers is not enough for blockchain data storage. So, how to solve this problem? First of all, we should reach a consensus on the scale of bookkeeping. For example, 10000 is the upper limit. In this way, bookkeeping can not be unlimited. Secondly, storage and sharing. Nowadays, computers in many families are hardly used, and the rich space can be shared. Thirdly, the storage technology has made great progress, and the storage capacity is growing exponentially.

6. Alibaba Group Holding Co., Ltd., digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, printing science and Technology Research Institute of the people's Bank of China and many other companies have applied. You can go to some patent inquiry websites to learn more

The patents not applied for by Ma Yun himself are all applied in the name of Alibaba, as follows:

8. It is reported that as of March 31, 2016, Alibaba group had 1529 open patents in China, and filed 2141 patent applications; In other countries and regions, Alibaba has 1387 patents and filed 3096 patent applications. If you add in the number of patents applied in 2016, it is estimated that the number of domestic applications will exceed 3000 and that of foreign applications will exceed 4000. These data are estimated based on the number of patents applied by Ali every year< Can make nothing of it.
as for Ma Yun's supermarket, how many patents have I applied for? I don't know.
: scan code or Alipay enter store
need to use two kinds of patents, scan code or Alipay, pay attention to two categories, not two, but how many patents do you need to use?
first point: membership identification: when you enter, you need a patent identification
second points: Alipay: Alipay is a payment patent layout made by Ali about N years ago,
about payment function, actually not only Alipay, but also a lot of methods and systems to achieve payment. Alipay is just one we can see. We use real procts, but we don't see many methods and systems
2: select goods scan

3. Payment:
when you leave with goods, you have to go through two "settlement Gates & quot;. The first door: sense the information that you are about to leave and open it automatically. The second door: This is the most important door. When you go to the second door, the screen will show "goods are being identified", and then "goods are being paid" will be displayed immediately. The payment will be dected automatically and the door will be opened
in fact, there are many patents for an unmanned supermarket. In addition to scanning, Ali also needs to use patents such as machine vision, indoor positioning, data processing, evidence retention and so on. There are countless patents involved.
