Solution Overview

Problem

Existing copyright event record-storing methods are vulnerable to tampering and destruction due to centralized data storage, lacking the security and credibility provided by decentralized systems.

Innovation Solution

A consortium blockchain network is formed with work service providers as member nodes, allowing them to upload copyright event information for distributed storage, ensuring tamper-resistance and destruction-resistance through a consensus mechanism.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If centralized data storage is used for copyright events, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to vulnerability to tampering and destruction

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidreliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized storage system into a distributed consortium blockchain network where multiple member nodes (work service providers) each hold copies of copyright event records. This segmentation eliminates the single point of failure in centralized storage while maintaining operational simplicity through automated consensus mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the consortium blockchain network) between the copyright event generation and storage. This intermediary consists of multiple member nodes that collectively verify and store records, providing both operational ease through standardized interfaces and enhanced reliability through distributed verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If decentralized blockchain storage is implemented, then reliability is improved through tamper-resistance, but device complexity increases due to consensus mechanisms and multiple nodes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple work service providers into a unified consortium blockchain network, combining their storage capabilities and verification power. This merging achieves reliability through distribution while managing complexity by establishing shared consensus rules and standardized node structures that simplify individual node implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal member nodes that can perform multiple functions: generating copyright events, verifying other nodes' events, storing records locally, and participating in consensus. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by eliminating the need for specialized components while maintaining high reliability through distributed multi-functional nodes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Disclosed are a method and system of storing a record of a copyright event in a blockchain through an agent. Devices of some work service providers operating work-related services can serve as member nodes to form a consortium blockchain network. Each work service provider broadcasts copyright events generated based on its work-related services to the consortium blockchain network, so all the work service providers perform blockchain-based distributed storage. In addition, the plurality of member nodes include at least one agenting member node; each agenting member node has a right to agent copyright event record storage for a non-member node corresponding to the agenting member node.
