[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and are not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts are all included in the scope of protection of the present application.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person skilled in the art of the present invention. Terms used in the present specification are used only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] In addition, the technical features according to different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they are not inconsistent with each other.

[0019] The present application provides a method and system for anti-counterfeiting traceability of goods based on block chain. In order to facilitate understanding, the relevant terms in the present application are first explained.

[0020] 1. Cloud server (Elastic Compute Service, ECS), also known as cloud computing server or cloud host, uses cloud computing technology and integrates the three core elements of a data center: computing, network, and storage. Cloud servers are based on cluster server technology, which is a virtualization technology similar to VPS servers, and virtualize multiple parts similar to independent servers.

[0021] 2. Blockchain is essentially a distributed distributed database. It is an innovative application mode in the Internet era of various technologies such as distributed data storage, multi-center point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm. Compared with traditional networks, blockchain has two main characteristics. One is that data is difficult to tamper with, and the other is that it is distributed. Based on these two characteristics, the information recorded in the blockchain is more reliable.

[0022] 3. A two-dimensional bar code is a graphic that records data symbol information in a black and white pattern distributed on a plane (two-dimensional direction) according to a certain rule using a specific geometric figure. Depending on the difference in the construction principle and structural shape, there are two main types: stack type two-dimensional code and matrix two-dimensional code. Either can be automatically read via an image input device or photoelectric scanning device to realize automatic information processing.

[0023] 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the implementation environment includes a cloud server 10, a terminal 20, and a product 30. Here, the cloud server 10 is communicably connected to the terminal 20, and the cloud server 10 is provided with a blockchain module 11. The terminal 20 can scan a two-dimensional code 31 on the product 30 and query the blockchain module 11 for product information based on the two-dimensional code information obtained by scanning. If the product information corresponding to the two-dimensional code information does not exist in the blockchain module 11, the cloud server 10 will feed back product query failure information to the terminal 20, and conversely, the cloud server 10 will feed back product information corresponding to the two-dimensional code information to the terminal 20 to inform consumers of the authenticity of the product.

[0024] In some embodiments, the product information includes shipping information and serial numbers of the products 30 .

[0025] In another embodiment, the product information includes shipping information, serial numbers, and distribution information for the product 30 .

[0026] In another embodiment, the product information includes product 30 shipping information, serial numbers, distribution information, and purchaser information.

[0027] Based on the above environment, some embodiments provided by the present application are introduced below.

[0028] 2 is a flow chart of a commodity anti-counterfeiting traceability method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the above-mentioned cloud server, and as shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

[0029] Step 110: The cloud server receives the product anti-counterfeiting code uploaded by the product manufacturer and the first product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code, and stores them in the blockchain module.

[0030] Specifically, before the goods are shipped, the goods manufacturer can determine the goods' anti-counterfeiting code based on the production information such as the goods' production location, production factory, production date, and production batch on the day, and this anti-counterfeiting code is unique. The cloud server has the goods manufacturer's corresponding account and password, and a public key and private key pair, and the goods manufacturer uploads the goods' anti-counterfeiting code and the first goods information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code to the cloud server using signature and encryption technology, and the cloud server verifies the data uploaded by the goods manufacturer and then stores it in the corresponding blockchain module.

[0031] For example, the first product information may be the shipping information and serial number of the product, which may be consistent with the anti-counterfeiting code of the product, or may be additionally set according to other rules.

[0032] Step 120: The product manufacturer generates a two-dimensional code based on the product's anti-counterfeiting code and the anti-counterfeiting traceability link, and sets the generated two-dimensional code on the product.

[0033] In practical applications, product manufacturers can print or attach two-dimensional codes on products, and the two-dimensional codes contain anti-counterfeiting traceability links and anti-counterfeiting codes, so that users can scan the two-dimensional codes to automatically access the inquiry page corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting traceability link and inquire about product information.

[0034] Common two-dimensional codes include QR Code, PDF417, and Data Matrix, each of which has its own advantages and special characteristics, and merchants can choose the appropriate category of two-dimensional code according to the specific application scenario. For example, QR Code has the advantages of large information capacity, high reliability, the ability to express various character information such as Chinese characters and images, and strong confidentiality and anti-counterfeiting properties. Data Matrix has the smallest size of current barcodes, and is especially suitable for marking small parts and direct printing on entities.

[0035] Step 130: The cloud server receives the product anti-counterfeiting code uploaded by the product seller and the second product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code, and stores them in the block chain module.

[0036] Similarly, the cloud server has the corresponding account and password of the product seller, and a pair of public and private keys. After the product manufacturer obtains the product, it uses signature and encryption technology to upload the product's anti-counterfeiting code and the second product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code to the cloud server. The cloud server verifies the data uploaded by the product seller and then stores it in the corresponding blockchain module.

[0037] For example, the second product information is distribution information of the product, which may be the company name, city, and stocking date of the product seller.

[0038] It should be noted that this step is not essential, and it is understood that in practical applications, the product manufacturer can directly negotiate with the consumer without going through the product distributor. If there are multiple levels of product distributors, this step can be performed multiple times, but for example, in an embodiment where the product distributors are divided into provincial-level distributors and city-level distributors, step 130 needs to be performed twice.

[0039] Step 140: After the user purchases the product, the user scans the two-dimensional code on the product with the terminal to verify the product.

[0040] After a user purchases a product, the user can scan the two-dimensional code on the product with a terminal such as a smartphone or tablet to verify the product. The two-dimensional code includes an anti-counterfeiting traceability link and an anti-counterfeiting code, and after the terminal opens the inquiry interface corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting traceability link, the inquiry page is automatically filled with the anti-counterfeiting code, and when the user clicks the "inquiry" button, the terminal sends the anti-counterfeiting code to the above-mentioned cloud server, and the cloud server receives the anti-counterfeiting code of the product sent by the terminal, and queries the product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code from the blockchain module according to the anti-counterfeiting code.

[0041] If the product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code does not exist in the block chain module, the cloud server feeds back product inquiry failure information to the terminal; if the product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code exists in the block chain module, the cloud server feeds back the product information to the terminal.

[0042] In one embodiment, if the user purchases the product directly from the product manufacturer, the product information queried includes the product serial number and shipping information.

[0043] In another embodiment, if the user purchases the product directly from a product distributor, the product information queried includes the product serial number, shipping information, and distribution information.

[0044] Step 150: The user registers with the terminal and submits user information.

[0045] After verifying that the product they purchased is genuine, the user can register on the page on their device and submit user information such as personal information (age, gender, etc.), location information, and contact information. The cloud server receives the user information submitted by the user, stores it in the blockchain module as purchaser information, and establishes a corresponding relationship between the user and the product.

[0046] Step 160: The cloud server sends promotion information to the contact information based on the personal information and location information in the purchaser information.

[0047] The subsequent cloud server can send promotion information about the product to the contact information based on the personal information and location information in the purchaser information. For example, if the product is a laptop, the cloud server sends promotion information about a voice input device, software, mouse, etc. to the contact information based on the personal information and location information in the purchaser information. Also, if the product is a smartphone, the cloud server sends promotion information about movies, gourmet food, tourist attractions, etc. to the contact information based on the personal information and location information in the purchaser information.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the cloud server receives the product anti-counterfeiting code uploaded by the product manufacturer and the first product information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code, and then stores them in the block chain module. The product manufacturer generates a two-dimensional code according to the product anti-counterfeiting code and the anti-counterfeiting traceability link, and sets the generated two-dimensional code on the product. After that, after a user purchases a product, the user scans the two-dimensional code on the product with a terminal to verify the product. Since the data in the block chain module cannot be tampered with, the block chain-based product anti-counterfeiting traceability method can provide users with reliable anti-counterfeiting traceability information.
