Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of true random number generation, and in particular to an apparatus and method for generating true random numbers that utilize generated true random numbers for lotteries and raffles. [Background technology]

[0002] The openness, fairness, and impartiality of a lottery or raffle are mainly determined by three aspects: the participant list, the random number seed, and the algorithm that calculates the lottery result based on the random number seed and the participant list (hereinafter referred to as the lottery algorithm). Currently, the openness, fairness, impartiality, and tamper-proofness of the participant list and lottery algorithm can be achieved by past evidence preservation using blockchain. However, it is a difficult problem how to intuitively, reliably, quickly, mass-produce, and neutrally generate true random number seeds with high reliability, low cost, ease of use, and auditability. For example, the random.org website provides a function to quickly and mass-produce true random numbers based on thunder noise, but the general public cannot intuitively supervise and audit the random number generation process (they are concerned that the platform is selectively generating random numbers), which affects the openness and reliability of the lottery or raffle. In the Wutong Chain blockchain notary lottery used in the Suzhou notary public office, encrypted cards are used to generate random number seeds, and the public cannot intuitively supervise and audit the random number generation process (concerned that the Wutong Chain platform selectively generates random numbers), which affects the openness and reliability of the lottery or draw. Although the China Sports Lottery and China Welfare Lottery provide an intuitive random number generation process, the slow generation speed, small number of generated numbers, and high cost prevent the public from taking the initiative to visit offline at any time (concerned that the live streaming video of the lottery will be recorded and forged), and no stable random number generation API interface (not easy to use as random number seeds in daily lottery or draw activities) is provided, which cannot meet the needs of openness, reliability, ease of use, and rapid generation of large amounts of random number seeds for lotteries or draws. Depending on the lottery or draw activity, the block generation information of the blockchain system can be directly used to generate random number seeds for lotteries or draws, but in this case, there are problems such as manipulation by miners, unintuitiveness, and low reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The disclosed embodiments provide a true random number generating device and method for solving the technical problem of being unable to intuitively, reliably, quickly, mass-produce and neutrally generate highly reliable, low-cost, easy-to-use and auditable true random number seeds during lotteries or raffles.

[0008] In order to allow those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described together with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a part, not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, not to describe a specific order or priority. It should be understood that the data used may be exchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments described herein may be performed in an order other than the order illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprise", "have" and other variations are meant to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those explicitly recited, and may include other steps or units that are not explicitly recited or inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0009] This embodiment provides a true random number generating device and method. Figure 1 is a structural diagram of the device provided by this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the structural diagram includes a random number generating edge node 101 and a random number generating edge node 102 that transmit and receive information with a random number generating center node 103 through a network.

[0010] 2 is a schematic diagram of the random number generation edge node device of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the schematic diagram includes a random number generation edge node housing made of transparent glass material, and the size of the housing is set so that it can be easily installed and displayed in public places, and people in the public places can easily see the internal operation status of the random number edge node. The inside of the random number generation edge node includes a container customized with transparent glass, ping-pong balls printed with 12 different numbers in the transparent container, an electric fan, a stepping motor, an antistatic member, a switch sensor, a random number generation device (shown in FIG. 4) consisting of a programmable industrial control motherboard, a video surveillance camera 202 configured to capture the internal operation status and external environmental status of the random number generation edge node, a video surveillance camera 201 configured to capture the random movement details of the ping-pong ball, a display device configured to display the internal operation status and external environmental status of the random number generation edge node, and an edge server connected to the video surveillance camera and the display device.

[0011] The edge server in FIG. 2 is a general-purpose computer device, which periodically and automatically generates random numbers based on images periodically captured by a video surveillance camera 201, and periodically and automatically identifies the operating conditions inside and outside the random number generating edge node based on images periodically captured by a video surveillance camera 202. The software function of automatically identifying random numbers and the operating conditions inside and outside the random number generating edge node according to images is realized using an artificial intelligence model trained by a commercially available mainstream neural network-based machine learning system and related control software code. The method for training the artificial intelligence model is to input an appropriate amount of labels and a large amount of object mark label images into the machine learning system to train an artificial intelligence model with the function of detecting objects based on images.

[0012] The edge server in FIG. 2 is configured to transmit data to the random number generation center node in FIG. 1 every minute, store the data of the video surveillance 24 hours a day, and control the display device to broadcast the live video stream to the public. Here, the data transmitted to the random number generation center node includes the time when the random number is identified, the number of the random number generation edge node, the transparent glass container number, the random number generated by the transparent glass container with the identified corresponding number, and the BASE64 code corresponding to the identification image. Here, the display contents of the display device include the random number generated every minute, the internal operating status and external environment status of the random number generation edge node (including live video information of nearby visitors in video surveillance), and time-sensitive data obtained in real time from the network (such as real-time stock trading data and news live streaming information of authoritative TV stations). The method of broadcasting live video to the public is realized by using the open source OBS studio software to push the video stream to the WeChat live video platform.

[0013] The edge server in FIG. 2 is configured to support information security audits. Specifically, it is configured to have a log storage function for inputting and outputting information, a log storage function for executing commands, and a function for protecting system information security. The functions related to information security audits are realized by the cooperation of hardware and software on a computer device. Mainstream information security audit software and hardware on the market can be purchased and installed on the edge server.

[0014] As shown in Figure 4, a transparent glass customized container can be assembled by a ping-pong ball printed with 12 different numbers, an electric fan, a stepping motor, an antistatic member, a switch sensor, and a programmable industrial control motherboard. Here, the width of the bottom groove of the transparent glass customized container is 5 cm, the length of the groove is 50 cm, and the depth of the groove is 10 cm. Among them, the middle part of the transparent glass customized container forms an included angle of 5 degrees with the horizontal plane, so that the ping-pong ball can easily slide into the groove, and a grounded red copper plate with a width of 1 cm, a length of 50 cm, and a height of 0.2 mm is arranged on the top surface, so that the static electricity generated by the random movement of the ping-pong ball for a long time is eliminated. The numbers on different ping-pong balls are different, each including the numbers 1 to 12, and 18 numbers of the same size are uniformly printed on the same ping-pong ball, so that the numbers on it can be captured by the camera no matter how it moves. The electric fan adopts the C9003 type small brushless centrifugal blower of Ningbo Anchor Drive Technology Co., Ltd. The stepping motor adopts a commercially available standard closed loop 57 type. The fan is fixed to the stepping motor via an optical axis fixing seat. An infrared photoelectric switch sensor is adopted as the switch sensor. The programmable industrial control motherboard drives the electric fan at the 0th second of every minute to send air into the air inlet at the bottom of the transparent container for 10 seconds, randomly moving the ping-pong ball to the top of the transparent glass container with a leaky groove, drives the stepping motor to rotate at the 10th second of every minute, rotates the electric fan mounted on it counterclockwise 30 degrees, and rapidly cuts off the air supply to the air inlet of the transparent container, drives the stepping motor to rotate at the 20th second of every minute, rotates the electric fan mounted on it clockwise 30 degrees, thereby positioning the air outlet of the electric fan at the air inlet of the transparent container again, and prepares for the next 1-minute period random number generation. Meanwhile, the switch sensor below the fan is used to automatically reset the fan air outlet after accidental power outage: the programmable industrial control motherboard will drive the electric fan air outlet on the stepping motor to position it at the bottom of the transparent container by identifying the switch signal of the switch sensor.

[0015] In order to simplify FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 and facilitate the understanding of the related art by those skilled in the art, FIG. 2 does not show multiple transparent glass containers and multiple corresponding sets of electromechanical devices. Those skilled in the art in the field of electromechanical devices can realize the connection of multiple sets of electromechanical devices by referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4. In practical applications, it is necessary to install two or more transparent glass containers and two or more corresponding sets of electromechanical devices to ensure the operation reliability of the single random number generation edge node. The edge server in FIG. 2 is configured to control the electromechanical devices, and when the edge server identifies that the ping-pong balls in a transparent glass container with a certain number cannot move randomly normally according to the collected images, the edge server controls the programmable industrial control motherboard to stop the operation of the electromechanical device with the corresponding number, and after the device with a certain number stops, starts another set of electromechanical devices to continue operation.

[0016] The random number generation center node 103 in Fig. 1 is configured to receive data from two random number generation edge nodes, generate random number information every minute according to a preset rule, and publish the data in JSON format to the public according to the HTTPS communication protocol. Here, the preset rule includes generating random number information according to the number sequence of the random number generation edge node and the number sequence of the transparent container. The random number information includes the time in the data received by the random number generation center node, the number of the random number generation edge node, the number of the transparent container and the random number generated by the transparent container, the ping-pong ball number sequence combination list after arrangement, the decimal-coded number list corresponding to the ping-pong ball number sequence combination after arrangement, and the random value range.

[0017] The manner in which the random number generation center node 103 in FIG. 1 is configured to have the functionality of supporting information security audits is similar to the manner in which the edge server in FIG. 2 is configured to have the functionality of supporting information security audits.

[0018] In order to simplify Figures 2 and 4 and to facilitate understanding of the related art by those skilled in the art, Figure 2 does not show some necessary but easily inferred devices and connections, such as lighting devices with appropriate brightness, power supply devices with appropriate power, cables with appropriate connections, network devices with appropriate connections, and network connections.

[0019] A method for generating true random numbers will now be described using the schematic flow chart in FIG. 3 and the above-mentioned device.

[0020] First, as shown in S301 of FIG. 3, the random number generation edge node device shown in FIG. 2 is placed in a busy commercial square in Beijing, numbered 1001, in which two sets of transparent glass containers and electromechanical devices are numbered 10011 and 10012, respectively, and the random number generation edge node device shown in FIG. 2 is placed in a busy park square in Shanghai, numbered 2001, in which two sets of funnel-shaped transparent glass containers and electromechanical devices are numbered 20011 and 20012, respectively. At 19:02:00 on April 17, 2022, the electric fans of the four sets of random number generation devices simultaneously blow air into the air inlets at the bottom of each transparent container, causing the ping-pong balls in the transparent glass to move randomly for 10 seconds. At 19:02:10 on April 17, 2022, the four sets of random number generators simultaneously move the electric fans counterclockwise by 30 degrees, stop blowing air to the bottom of the transparent container, and rearrange the ping-pong balls in the four sets of transparent glass to the bottom of the transparent glass container. At 19:02:20 on April 17, 2022, the four sets of random number generators simultaneously move the electric fans clockwise by 30 degrees, and transmit the image captured at this time from the video surveillance camera 201 in FIG. 2 to the edge server.

[0021] Then, as shown in S302 of FIG. 3, the edge server in the random number generation edge node numbered 1001 sends the random number information in JSON data format that is automatically identified and generated by artificial intelligence to the random number generation center node located in Alibaba Cloud via the HTTPS communication protocol at 19:02:22 on April 17, 2022. The content of the random number information is {"nodeNo":"1001","time":"2022-04-17-19-02","data":[{"genNo":"10011","pingpongNo":"100107020809110504031206","img":"base64formatImg-01-moreDataNotShow"},{"genNo":"10012","pingpongNo":"04030 5100711020809010612","img":"base64formatImg-02-moreDataNotShow"}]}, and the random number generation edge node numbered 1002 will send the random number information in JSON data format that was automatically identified and generated by artificial intelligence to the random number generation center node located on Alibaba Cloud via the HTTPS communication protocol at 19:02:23 on April 17, 2022. The random number information content is {"nodeNo":"1002","time":"2022-04-17-19-02","datas":[{"genNo":"20011","pingpongNo":"070812020510030911040601","img":"base64formatImg-03-moreDataNotShow"},{"genNo":"20012","pingpongNo":"090501070612020310041108","img":"base64formatImg-04-moreDataNotShow"}]}.

[0022] Then, as shown in S302 of FIG. 3, the random number generation center node generates random number information from the received data in the order of edge node number and container number. The random number information content is {"time":"2022-04-17-19-02","pingpongNos":["100107020809110504031206","040305100711020809010612","070812020510030911040601","090501070612020310041108"],"randomNos":["361089176","1279945 81","264598774","334030334"],"maxValue":479001599,"nodes":[{"nodeNo":"1001","time":"2022-04-17-1 9-02","datas":[{"genNo":"10011","pingpongNo":"100107020809110504031206","img":"base64formatImg-0 1-moreDataNotShow"},{"genNo":"10012","pingpongNo":"040305100711020809010612","img":"base64format Img-02-moreDataNotShow"}]},{"nodeNo":"1002","time":"2022-04-17-19-02","datas":[{"genNo":"20011", "pingpongNo":"070812020510030911040601","img":"base64formatImg-03-moreDataNotShow"},{"genNo":"20012","pingpongNo":"090501070612020310041108","img":"base64formatImg-04-moreDataNotShow"}]}]}. The pingpongNos field is the list of ping pong ball number sequence combinations after the sequence, the randomNos field is the decimal coded list of numbers corresponding to the ping pong ball number sequence combinations after the sequence, and the maxValue field is the maximum possible range of random values ​​from 0. The method to convert the ping pong ball number sequence to its corresponding decimal code is:The method includes defining the ping pong ball sequence from 1 to 12 as decimal code 0, and defining the ping pong ball sequence from 12 to 1 as decimal code 479001599, and calculating various combinations as corresponding decimal codes through sequence combination methods and computer algorithms. For example, the above one ping pong ball sequence 100107020809110504031206 can be divided into 12 segments, and the number of sequence combinations between each segment can be calculated respectively and added up at the end: All sequences between 010203040506070809101112 (inclusive) 100102030405060708091112 (exclusive) are possible 359251200=(10-1)*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2 and all sequences between 100102030405060708091112 (inclusive) and 100102030405060708091112 (exclusive) are likely to be 0 = (1-0-1) * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2, and all sequences between 100102030405060708091112 (inclusive) and 100107020304050608091112 (exclusive) are likely to be 1814400 = (7-1-1) * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 *2, and all sequences between 100107020304050608091112(inclusive) and 100107020304050608091112(exclusive) are 0=(2-1-1)*8*7*6*5*4*3*2, and all sequences between 100107020304050608091112(inclusive) and 100107020803040506091112(exclusive) are 20160=(8-3-1)*7*6*5*4*3*2 There are possibilities for all sequences between 100107020803040506091112 (inclusive) and 100107020809030405061112 (exclusive), with 2880=(9-4-1)*6*5*4*3*2 possibilities, and there are possibilities for all sequences between 100107020809030405061112 (inclusive) and 100107020809110304050612 (exclusive), with 480=(11-6-1)*5*4*3*2 possibilities.All sequences between 100107020809110304050612 (inclusive) and 100107020809110503040612 (exclusive) are likely to be 48=(5-2-1)*4*3*2, all sequences between 100107020809110503040612 (inclusive) and 100107020809110504030612 (exclusive) are likely to be 6=(4-2-1)*3*2, and all sequences between 100107020809110504030612 (inclusive) and 100107020809110504030612 (exclusive) are likely to be 0=(3- 100107020809110504030612(inclusive) 100107020809110504031206(exclusive) could be 1=(12-10-1), 100107020809110504031206(inclusive) could be 1=6-5, and finally all the sequences are 361089176=359251200+0+1814400+0+20160+2880+480+48+6+0+1+1.

[0026] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that it is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or replace some or all of the technical features with equivalents, and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.
