Blockchain Blind Box Verification for Probability Consistency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current blind box management systems lack a perfect mechanism for ensuring the consistency between announced and actual item drawing probabilities, leading to market unfairness and potential fraud.
Innovation Solution
A blockchain-based management system that verifies and stores blind box generation and obtaining information, ensuring accuracy and traceability through a tamper-resistant blockchain, thereby preventing fraud and ensuring fairness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional blind box management systems are used, then the system complexity is low and ease of operation is maintained, but reliability is poor due to lack of verification mechanisms for item probability consistency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain system as an intermediary between the blind box management system and users. The blockchain verifies and records item configuration information, generation information, and obtaining information, providing a trusted third-party mechanism that ensures probability consistency without requiring complex internal verification systems within the blind box platform itself
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary verification by storing item configuration information (including drawing probabilities) in the blockchain before blind box generation. This pre-established record allows subsequent verification of whether actual item distribution matches announced probabilities, preventing fraud before it occurs rather than detecting it after
2Reliability
If blockchain verification is implemented for all blind box transactions, then reliability and traceability improve, but processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary storage of critical verification data (item configuration information, generation information) in the blockchain before transactions occur. This pre-recording enables rapid verification during transactions, as the blockchain already contains the authoritative data needed for comparison, reducing real-time processing time while maintaining full traceability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides verification into separate informational layers: item configuration information (probabilities), generation information (actual distribution), and obtaining information (transaction records). Each layer is verified independently against its corresponding blockchain record, allowing parallel processing and reducing overall verification time compared to monolithic verification

AI summary
A blockchain-based blind box management method includes: receiving blind box generation information and corresponding item configuration information; verifying the blind box generation information and the item configuration information, and generating a block based on the blind box generation information and the item configuration information and storing the generated block in a blockchain in response to that the blind box generation information is determined to match the item configuration information; receiving blind box obtaining information; performing a verification of the blind box obtaining information based on the blind box generation information and blind box delivery information; and generating a block based on the blind box obtaining information and storing the generated block in the blockchain in response to that the verification of the blind box obtaining information succeeds.
