Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intangible cultural heritage protection and blockchain technology application, and particularly relates to an intangible cultural heritage data protection and management platform based on blockchain technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] Intangible cultural heritage is an important part of human civilization, including traditional skills, folk activities, oral literature, and performing arts. However, current intangible cultural heritage protection faces many challenges: first, intangible cultural heritage resources are mostly transmitted orally and physically, with low digitalization, and are easily lost due to the death of the inheritor or environmental changes; second, existing digital platforms mostly use centralized storage architecture, data is easily tampered with and lost, and there is a data island problem, making it difficult for intangible cultural heritage data from different regions and departments to interconnect; third, the transmission context and ownership information of intangible cultural heritage are unclear, leading to insufficient transmission records, and the phenomenon of misuse of intangible cultural heritage elements occurs from time to time; fourth, intangible cultural heritage resources are not sufficiently activated and utilized, and there is a lack of effective channels to combine intangible cultural heritage with modern industries, making it difficult to achieve sustainable development.

[0003] Blockchain technology has characteristics such as decentralization, tamper resistance, distributed ledger, and smart contracts, providing a new technical path to solve the above problems. Currently, some research has attempted to apply blockchain to intangible cultural heritage protection, but mostly focuses on a single link (such as intangible cultural heritage product traceability), lacks a comprehensive platform covering the entire life cycle of intangible cultural heritage collection, storage, management, sharing, and utilization, and still has deficiencies in data standardization and multi-party collaborative management, therefore, we propose an intangible cultural heritage data protection and management platform based on blockchain technology. SUMMARY

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide an intangible cultural heritage data protection and management platform based on blockchain technology, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: The intangible cultural heritage data protection and management platform based on blockchain technology includes a multi-dimensional data layer for collecting intangible cultural heritage resources, a consortium chain architecture layer, a core processing unit layer of the platform, an application service layer for different scenarios, and a user layer, and the layers interact and work together through standardized interfaces; The multi-dimensional data layer for collecting intangible cultural heritage resources includes basic information data, digital content data, transmission context data, and ownership information data; The consortium chain architecture layer consists of a distributed node network composed of intangible cultural heritage protection agencies, cultural departments, research institutions, and inheritors, and includes a distributed ledger module, a data encryption module, and a consensus mechanism module. The core processing unit layer of the platform comprises a data management module, a traceability authentication module, an intelligent contract module and a data analysis module; The application service layer comprises a non-heritage display platform, a heritage teaching platform, an industry docking platform and an academic research platform; The user layer covers heritage people, non-heritage protection agencies, enterprises, scientific researchers, ordinary users and the like, and different users have different permissions.

[0006] Preferably, the basic information data is collected through a standardized form and covers non-heritage project names, categories, declared regions, representative heritage people and the like; the digital content data is collected through professional collection equipment (such as high-definition cameras, 3D scanners and recording equipment) and includes non-heritage performance videos, skill operation processes, physical three-dimensional models and oral history audios; the heritage context data is collected through heritage people interviews and historical document analysis and forms a heritage pedigree; the ownership information data is confirmed through a blockchain identity authentication module and clearly defines the ownership subject of non-heritage projects and related content. After being standardized, the collected data generates structured data packets in accordance with non-heritage data specifications.

[0007] Preferably, the distributed ledger module is used to store the hash values and key metadata of non-heritage data, the original data is stored in a distributed file system (IPFS), and only the data hash values are chained, which not only ensures that the data cannot be tampered with, but also reduces the storage pressure on the chain; the data encryption module uses an asymmetric encryption algorithm to encrypt the data, ensuring the security of the data transmission and storage process; the consensus mechanism module uses a practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) consensus algorithm to achieve efficient consensus of multiple nodes and guarantee the consistency of the ledger.

[0008] Preferably, the data management module realizes the classified management, retrieval and query and update and maintenance of non-heritage data, supports multi-dimensional filtering and full-text retrieval; the traceability authentication module realizes traceable sources and traceable destinations of non-heritage data through hash values and time stamps on the blockchain, and users can query the heritage history and data collection process of non-heritage projects through scanning or inputting unique identifiers; the intelligent contract module presets heritage record contracts and copyright protection contracts and the like, and automatically performs corresponding recording or authorization operations when the contract conditions are met (such as heritage people completing heritage tasks and enterprises legally using non-heritage elements); the data analysis module uses big data analysis technology to analyze the access volume, propagation range and user preferences of non-heritage data and provides data support for non-heritage protection strategy formulation and active utilization.

[0009] Preferably, the intangible cultural heritage display platform uses VR / AR technology to achieve an immersive display of intangible cultural heritage resources, enhancing the user experience; the inheritance and teaching platform provides functions such as online courses, on-demand videos of skills, and live teaching by inheritors to help the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage; the industry docking platform builds channels for connecting intangible cultural heritage elements with industries such as design, tourism, and cultural and creative industries, and provides services such as intangible cultural heritage IP authorization and the release of cooperative projects; the academic research platform provides researchers with tools for sharing and analyzing intangible cultural heritage data, supporting academic research and the exchange of results.

[0010] Preferably, the inheritors can upload and manage the intangible cultural heritage data they have inherited, and view the inheritance records; the intangible cultural heritage protection organization is responsible for the overall management of the platform and data review; the enterprises can apply for intangible cultural heritage IP authorization and publish cooperation needs; the researchers can obtain intangible cultural heritage data for research; and the ordinary users can browse and experience intangible cultural heritage resources and participate in intangible cultural heritage interactive activities.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes the decentralized storage and immutability of blockchain, combined with encryption technology, to ensure that intangible cultural heritage (ICH) data is not tampered with or lost, guaranteeing data security and integrity. Through a traceability and authentication module, the entire process of ICH data is made traceable, clearly defining the lineage and ownership. A consortium blockchain architecture integrates resources from multiple nodes, enabling interconnection and interoperability of ICH data from different regions and departments, forming a unified ICH data resource library and improving data utilization efficiency. A smart contract module automates the execution of inheritance records, stimulating the enthusiasm of inheritors. Clear ownership management reduces the misuse of ICH elements and protects the legitimate rights and interests of inheritors. Multi-scenario services at the application layer deeply integrate ICH resources with modern technology and industry, expanding the channels for ICH dissemination and application areas, and achieving the sustainable development of ICH culture.

[0012] Fig. 1 This is a platform architecture diagram of the blockchain-based intangible cultural heritage digitization protection and management platform of the present invention; Fig. 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the data collection process of the blockchain-based intangible cultural heritage data protection and management platform of this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Example

[0014] like Figs. 1-2As shown, this blockchain-based platform for the digital protection and management of intangible cultural heritage uses the protection and management of a traditional embroidery intangible cultural heritage project in a certain region as an example to illustrate the specific application process of this platform: The first step involves an intangible cultural heritage protection organization assembling a professional team to film the entire embroidery process using high-definition cameras, creating 3D models of the finished embroidery using 3D scanners, and collecting basic data such as the name, origin, lineage, and representative inheritors of the embroidery project through standardized forms. Interviews with the inheritors are also conducted, and audio recordings of their oral histories are made. The collected data is then processed in a standardized manner to generate structured data packets. The second step involves the data acquisition layer uploading the hash value of the structured data packets and key metadata (such as project category, acquisition time, and acquisition personnel) to the blockchain storage layer, while the original data is stored in the IPFS distributed file system. Blockchain nodes (including the Provincial Department of Culture, local intangible cultural heritage protection centers, and inheritors) verify the data through the PBFT consensus algorithm. Once verified, the data is written into the distributed ledger, forming an immutable record. Thirdly, the data management module categorizes and manages the embroidery project data, allowing users to search by project name, inheritor, and other keywords. The traceability and authentication module generates a unique QR code for the project, which users can scan to view traceability information such as the embroidery's lineage, technique, and data collection process. A smart contract pre-sets a heritage record agreement; when an inheritor uploads a new embroidery technique video or completes an offline teaching activity each quarter, the platform automatically issues a heritage subsidy. Fourthly, the intangible cultural heritage display platform uses VR technology to create a virtual embroidery experience hall, allowing users to immerse themselves in embroidery technique demonstrations. The heritage teaching platform launches online courses for the embroidery project, with inheritors conducting regular live teaching sessions. The industry matchmaking platform publishes licensing requests for the embroidery IP; a clothing company applies for licensing through the platform, and the smart contract automatically completes the licensing agreement signing and fee settlement. The academic research platform provides university researchers with technique and heritage history data for the embroidery project, supporting relevant academic research.

[0015] Through the application of this platform, the aforementioned traditional embroidery intangible cultural heritage projects have achieved complete digital preservation, with a clear and traceable lineage of inheritance. The enthusiasm of the inheritors has been effectively stimulated, and at the same time, they have been successfully connected with the clothing industry, realizing the revitalization and utilization of intangible cultural heritage.
