Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a universal storage chip structure based on blockchain technology. Background Art

[0002] Blockchain is a novel application model for computer technologies such as distributed data storage, peer-to-peer transmission, consensus mechanisms, and encryption algorithms. Blockchain is a chained data structure composed of sequentially linked data blocks in chronological order, and a distributed ledger that is cryptographically guaranteed to be tamper-proof and unforgeable. Due to its decentralized, tamper-proof, and autonomous nature, blockchain is gaining increasing attention and application.

[0003] Essentially, blockchain is a shared database. The data or information stored within it is characterized by being unforgeable, traceable, traceable, open and transparent, and collectively maintained. These characteristics establish a solid foundation of trust and create a reliable mechanism for collaboration.

[0004] However, there are currently no applications and technical solutions that combine blockchain technology and semiconductor storage technology, as follows:

[0005] 1) If Figure 4 As shown, from the perspective of the semiconductor memory chip architecture principle, there is no blockchain component: "The semiconductor memory chip consists of a decoding drive circuit, a memory matrix, a read / write circuit, an address line, a data line, a control line, and a chip select line. Among them, the decoding drive circuit, the memory matrix, and the read / write circuit belong to the core structure. The memory matrix is ​​used to store 0 / 1 codes, and the address lines and data lines are mainly used to connect the CPU and external devices. Now suppose that the CPU or external device gives an address, indicating which storage unit of the memory matrix the data to be stored / accessed is in. Then, the decoding drive circuit selects the corresponding storage unit to complete the data storage / access."

[0006] 2) If Figure 5 As shown, from the perspective of blockchain technology's architectural principles, there is no connection with semiconductor memory chips: a standard blockchain platform or system should include at least three layers: the data layer, the network layer, and the consensus layer. The application layer, the contract layer, and the incentive layer may not be included. This shows that current blockchain technology operates above the data layer and has no connection with the memory chips below it.

[0007] Therefore, the prior art has the following defects:

[0008] 1. High deployment difficulty: To obtain the relevant features of blockchain, it is necessary to deploy blockchain terminals on application devices (servers, PCs, mobile terminals, etc.).

[0009] 2. Low degree of standardization limits the scope of application: Although the technical principles are relatively clear, the diversity of implementation solutions has led to the diversification of blockchain platforms, making cross-platform access and docking difficult.

[0010] 3. Serious generalization: There is a trend of generalization in blockchain platforms. At present, there are blockchain platforms such as Ant Chain, Jinmeng Chain, Changan Chain, and QuChain in China. Each platform has certain technical characteristics, which is not conducive to building a value Internet of Things where "everything is connected".

[0011] 4. Large-scale: The distributed nodes of the current blockchain platform can only be deployed on large hardware platforms such as servers, which means that the "unforgeable" feature can only be achieved on a small scale and cannot meet the blockchain application of small devices in the "Internet of Everything" scenario.

[0012] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0013] In response to the problems in the related technology, the present invention proposes a universal storage chip structure based on blockchain technology to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technology.

[0014] To this end, the specific technical solutions adopted in the present invention are as follows:

[0015] A universal storage chip structure based on blockchain technology, including a mainboard for integrating various chips required for blockchain storage, and a blockchain storage and sequential storage operating system provided on the mainboard;

[0016] Among them, the blockchain storage body is used for effective storage space using the blockchain sequential ledger data structure;

[0017] The sequential storage operating system is used to maintain the data structure algorithm relationship between the sequential storage slice chain and hash tree structure in the blockchain storage, ensuring that the data in the sequential storage slice cannot be tampered with;

[0018] It is also used to provide data access interfaces and data access interfaces for data writing, reading and hash verification to upper-layer applications based on preset protocol standards;

[0019] It is also used to provide upper-layer applications with the necessary interfaces and networking interfaces for blockchain storage to participate in blockchain networking based on preset protocol standards.

[0020] Furthermore, the chip includes a clock chip, a bridge chip, a sequential storage chip and a BIOS chip.

[0021] Furthermore, the blockchain storage body includes a plurality of sequential storage slices, and the plurality of sequential storage slices are connected by a data bus.

[0022] Furthermore, the sequential storage slice is used to implement the principle of sequential ledger of blockchain nodes;

[0023] The data bus is used to provide a data transmission channel for various chips in the blockchain storage body; it is also used for each sequential storage chip to connect to the mainboard through the data bus to obtain data storage, reading and writing capabilities.

[0024] Furthermore, the principle of blockchain node chronological ledger includes data structure and its corresponding algorithm.

[0025] Furthermore, the data stored in the sequential storage slice is linked back and forth in the order of the blockchain timeline.

[0026] Furthermore, the mainboard is also provided with several interfaces, which are used to implement the conventional communication protocol of the blockchain storage body.

[0027] Furthermore, conventional communication protocols include UFSv2.0 and USB3.0. Interfaces include data access interfaces and networking interfaces.

[0028] Furthermore, the data access interface is used for data access connection of the blockchain storage body; the networking interface is used for networking connection of the blockchain storage body.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by constructing an atomic, chip-based blockchain storage architecture, it can be widely used to replace and transform various existing storage media such as hard drives, mobile phone storage chips, and USB flash drives. On the one hand, it can enable individual storage media to have the single-dimensional sequential tamper-proof performance of blockchain nodes. On the other hand, in the case of networking, it can further have the two-dimensional tamper-proof performance of distributed databases, and enable the various applications on its upper layer to obtain blockchain capabilities. In addition, in the scenario of "Internet of Everything", the data of each IoT node can be given fully trustworthy performance, thereby building a blockchain-based Internet of Things.

They are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. By referring to these contents, ordinary technicians in this field should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a universal storage chip structure based on blockchain technology is provided. Its goal is to encapsulate the data storage characteristics of blockchain into a storage medium, enabling various application systems to conveniently and transparently access blockchain-related features. To achieve this, the following issues need to be addressed:

[0040] 1) Blockchain architecture and algorithm chip: Blockchain technology components that are traditionally implemented by software, such as the chronological ledger data structure and hash encryption algorithm, are implemented through dedicated chips.

[0041] 2) Lightweight universal blockchain operating system: This package provides a dedicated blockchain management operating system for the underlying storage chip and blockchain chip layer. This can be based on the Hongmeng operating system.

[0042] 3) Storage encapsulation: Based on the existing storage, the above-mentioned blockchain chip, and the operating system, they are further encapsulated into a dedicated blockchain storage.

[0043] Therefore, in view of the fact that there is currently no storage body with built-in blockchain characteristics, the present invention constructs a plug-and-play storage body that has blockchain-related technical characteristics such as tamper-proofing of stored data and can be widely used in various data storage scenarios, such as USB flash drives, mobile hard drives, server hard drives, mobile phone storage chips, digital camera storage chips, etc.

[0044] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-2 As shown, a universal storage chip structure based on blockchain technology according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mainboard, which is used to integrate various chips required for blockchain storage, including a clock chip, a bridge chip, a sequential storage chip, and a BIOS chip.

[0045] The mainboard is provided with a blockchain storage body 1 and a sequential storage body operating system 2;

[0046] Among them, the blockchain storage body 1 is used for the effective storage space of the blockchain chronological ledger data structure;

[0047] Specifically, the blockchain storage body 1 includes a plurality of sequential storage slices 11, and the plurality of sequential storage slices 11 are connected by a data bus.

[0048] Sequential storage slice 11, the logic module is used to implement Figure 2 The blockchain node chronological ledger principle shown, including data structure and related algorithms;

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, each block N in the data structure of the blockchain node superimposes a record on the previous block N-1 and maintains a link with the previous block, thereby achieving tamper-proof performance.

[0050] The data stored in the sequential storage slice 11 is linked back and forth in the order of the "blockchain timeline" and supports "infinite" expansion.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sequential storage chip can be any chip with storage function, regardless of the technical route; the "blockchain node sequential ledger" is realized through the written data structure and data, and the non-sequential storage chip itself needs to be considered.

[0052] The data bus is used to provide a data transmission channel for various chips in the blockchain storage body 1; it is also used for each sequential storage chip 11 to connect to the mainboard through the data bus to obtain data storage, reading and writing capabilities.

[0053] The sequential storage body operating system 2 is used to maintain the data structure algorithm relationship of the sequential storage slice chain and hash tree structure in the blockchain storage body 1 to ensure that the data of the sequential storage slice cannot be tampered with; it is also used to provide the upper-level application with a data access interface - data access interface for data writing, reading and hash verification based on certain protocol standards; it is also used to provide the upper-level application with the necessary interface - networking interface for the blockchain storage body 1 to participate in blockchain networking based on certain protocol standards.

[0054] In addition, based on the concept of "infinite expansion" of storage space, several interfaces are also set on the motherboard, which are used to implement conventional communication protocols such as UFSv2.0 and USB3.0 of blockchain storage body 1.

[0055] The interfaces include a data access interface 3 and a networking interface 4. The data access interface 3 is used for data access connection of the blockchain storage body 1; the networking interface 4 is used for networking connection of the blockchain storage body 1.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the universal storage chip structure based on blockchain technology of the present invention can also include a mainboard, a blockchain extension module and a storage body. First, a "blockchain extension module" is connected to the outside of the storage body (such as a hard disk, a USB flash drive, a mobile phone storage, etc.), and the extension module provides blockchain-related extension functions (chained sequential storage, data access, hash verification, blockchain networking interface, etc.); secondly, the terminal device (server, PC, mobile phone, etc.) is connected to the "blockchain extension module" through the mainboard and bus, thereby obtaining blockchain node performance.

[0057] In summary, with the help of the above technical solutions of the present invention, by constructing an atomic and chip-based blockchain storage system architecture, it can be widely used to replace and transform various existing storage media such as hard drives, mobile phone storage chips, USB flash drives, etc. On the one hand, it can enable a separate storage media to have the single-dimensional sequential anti-tampering performance of a blockchain node. On the other hand, in the case of networking, it can further have the two-dimensional anti-tampering performance of a distributed database, and enable the various applications of its upper carrier (such as a mobile phone) to obtain blockchain capabilities. In addition, in the scenario of "Internet of Everything", each IoT node data can be given fully trustworthy performance, thereby building a blockchain-based Internet of Things.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
