Embodiment Construction

[0039] In some embodiments, the blockchain can be used to store the purchase-delivery state of online shopping and facilitate the sharing of state information among various participants. For example, an online purchase may involve a series of stages such as: placing an order, retrieving the item from the warehouse, delivering the item from the warehouse to the recipient, and confirmation by the recipient. Sales, warehousing, and delivery can be managed by different actors, each of which starts its own phase depending on the "done" status of the previous phase. For example, a warehouse needs to know that an order has been accepted by the seller in order to begin the warehouse item retrieval phase, while a delivery company needs to know that the item has been retrieved from the warehouse in order to begin the delivery company's loading, shipping and delivery phase. Some phases may each include granular sub-phases. For example, the delivery of goods from the warehouse to receive...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for blockchain-based notification are provided. One of the methods includes: obtaining information in ablock of a blockchain to determine a current state of a workflow, wherein a blockchain contract deployed in the blockchain is executable to update the current state among one or more states of the workflow; updating a locally-maintained state machine based on the determined current state; and in response to determining that the updated state machine corresponds to one of the one or more states, transmitting a notification message to one or more subscribers subscribing to the one state.

Description

technical field [0001] This article relates generally to systems and methods for blockchain-based notifications. Background technique [0002] Workflow management is often tedious and inefficient. For example, when a workflow involves several different parties managing different stages of the workflow, one party may need to be notified that a previous stage has completed so that it can start its own stage. However, typically delegating the task of notification among parties is unreliable and inefficient. As the number of parties involved or the complexity of the workflow increases, the opportunities for error multiply. Furthermore, substantial resources are required to ensure accurate and timely notifications for such workflows. Therefore, it is desirable to develop efficient and reliable systems and methods to improve workflow management. [0003] Blockchain provides data storage in a decentralized manner by keeping data in a series of data blocks that have a sequential...
