Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-counterfeiting methods for commodities, such as QR code scanning, are vulnerable to counterfeiting as they have low costs to replicate, making it difficult for consumers to verify the authenticity of products.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for commodity anti-counterfeiting and tracing using blockchain technology integrated with an elastic compute service, where an anti-counterfeiting code is used to search for commodity information in a blockchain module, providing reliable authentication and traceability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If QR code scanning is used for anti-counterfeiting, then the anti-counterfeiting method is simple and easy to operate, but the counterfeiting cost is low and the reliability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-counterfeiting verificationVSAvoidcommodity authentication
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a blockchain module as an intermediary between the terminal and commodity information. The blockchain module stores and verifies commodity information immutably, acting as a trusted mediator that prevents counterfeiting while maintaining simple QR code scanning operation for users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a digital copy of commodity information stored in the blockchain module. Instead of relying on physical markings that can be forged, the system uses cryptographic copies of commodity data that are tamper-proof and can be verified through the blockchain network

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If blockchain technology is integrated into elastic compute service, then the anti-counterfeiting reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommodity authenticationVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the blockchain module directly into the elastic compute service, combining the advantages of both technologies. This integration allows the system to leverage blockchain's reliability for anti-counterfeiting while using the elastic compute service's infrastructure to manage complexity, providing a unified platform for authentication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

An embodiment of the present application discloses a method and device for commodity anti-counterfeiting and tracing based on a blockchain and an elastic compute service, the method is applied to the elastic compute service with a blockchain module. The method includes: receiving an anti-counterfeiting code of a commodity sent by a terminal; searching commodity information corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting code in the blockchain module; when the commodity information is unavailable in the block module, feeding commodity query failure information back to the terminal and when the commodity information is available, feeding the commodity information back to the terminal , wherein the commodity information includes factory information and a serial number of the commodity. Through the above method, the present application can provide a reliable method for anti-counterfeiting and tracing.
