[0044] Initialization module, used to initialize the logistics express workflow system;

[0045] The express delivery module is used to generate express delivery numbers, submit express delivery applications, and upload express delivery applications to the blockchain;

[0046] The express delivery module is used to approve the chain request of express delivery application, save the express delivery application, submit the chain request of express delivery application, and broadcast the chain request of express delivery application;

[0047] The express receiving module is used to approve the chain request of the express delivery application, save the chain request of the express delivery application, and broadcast the chain request of the express delivery application.

[0048] Application scenarios of blockchain-based logistics and express workflow system implementation:

[0049] The express sender needs to send the express to the express recipient. The express carrier will deliver the express according to the process after receiving it from the express sender. The express recipient will confirm that the express has been received after receiving it from the express carrier.

[0050] The initialization module initializes the blockchain-based logistics and express workflow system in the following steps:

[0051] 1) Confirm the usage rights of each user;

[0052] 2) Make sure the network remains unobstructed;

[0053] 3) Ensure that the data is accurate before approval or review.

[0054] The steps for applying for express delivery in the express delivery module are as follows:

[0055] 1) The express sender selects an express carrier to submit an express delivery application, which includes the registered account information and Chinese name of the government unit, enterprise and individual user, the shipping address and the receiving address. The registered account uses the organization code, business registration number or personal ID card as the associated identifier, and the registered account is unique;

[0056] 2) The express delivery application also includes an express delivery number. The rule for generating the express delivery number is that the express delivery number is eight digits, the initial value of the express delivery number is 00000000, and each time the express delivery application is submitted in the express delivery module, the express delivery number increases by 1;

[0057] 3) Submit a request for express delivery application;

[0058] 4) After the operation is successful, the courier will be notified to review and approve the courier's request to upload the application to the chain.

[0059] The process approval steps for the express delivery module are:

[0060] 1) The courier logs in to the system and selects the chain request for the courier application. After entering the approval interface, the courier will review the content of the courier application and the received courier. If the content of the courier application is consistent with the received courier, and the user registration account information and Chinese name, shipping address and delivery address of the courier application are correct, the chain request for the courier application is approved and then goes to 3);

[0061] 2) If the approval is not passed, the express delivery party sends a notification of the approval failure of the on-chain request of the instant express delivery application to the express sender through the express delivery module. The express sender updates the express delivery application through the express delivery module and submits the on-chain request of the updated express delivery application, and then goes to 1);

[0062] 3) After approval, the courier will save the courier delivery application in the courier delivery module and broadcast it to the courier sending module and the courier receiving module;

[0063] 4) If the on-chain request of the express delivery application is not approved after 10 days, the express delivery module will save the on-chain request of the express delivery application in the express delivery module and broadcast it to the express delivery module and the express receiving module;

[0064] 5) After the courier delivers the package, the courier submits a chain request for the courier delivery application through the courier delivery module.

[0065] The process approval steps of the express receiving module are:

[0066] 1) The express delivery recipient logs in to the system and selects the chain request for the express delivery application. After entering the approval interface, the approval begins. The express delivery recipient will approve the express delivery application according to the content of the express delivery application and the express delivery that has been received. If the content of the express delivery application is consistent with the express delivery received, and the user registration account information and Chinese name of the express delivery application, the shipping address and the receiving address and other information are correct, then the chain request for the express delivery application is approved and then go to 3);

[0067] 2) If the approval is not passed, the express recipient sends a notification of the approval failure of the on-chain request for the instant express delivery application to the express carrier through the express receiving module. The express carrier updates the express delivery application through the express delivery module and submits a request for the updated express delivery application to be on-chain, and then goes to 1);

[0068] 3) After approval, the express recipient saves the express delivery application in the express receiving module and broadcasts it to the express sending module and the express delivery module;

[0069] 4) If the on-chain request for the express delivery application is not approved after 10 days, the express receiving module will save the on-chain request for the express delivery application in the express receiving module and broadcast it to the express sending module and the express delivery module.
