Serial Number Blockchain Segmentation for Mobile Payment Throughput
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing payment methods lack an efficient and secure way to process cashless payments using mobile portable terminals, particularly in scenarios where traditional banknotes cannot facilitate distant transactions.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing a blockchain system with multiple blockchains, each managing payments from banknotes with specific serial numbers, allowing for parallel processing of payments across different blockchains based on serial number ranges.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single blockchain is used to process all payments, then the system is simple to manage, but the payment processing speed and system throughput are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single blockchain into multiple blockchains, where each blockchain is assigned to handle payments for specific ranges of serial numbers. This segmentation allows parallel processing of payments across different blockchains, significantly increasing payment processing speed and system throughput while maintaining manageable complexity through clear division of responsibilities
2Productivity
If multiple blockchains are used to process payments in parallel, then the system throughput increases, but the complexity of managing multiple blockchains increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each blockchain is assigned specific local responsibility for handling payments related to particular serial number ranges. This local quality assignment ensures that each blockchain processes only the payments within its designated scope, enabling parallel processing that increases system throughput while keeping management complexity localized and manageable through clear demarcation of responsibilities
3Loss of time
If all payment transactions are logged in one blockchain, then the ledger is easy to maintain, but transaction verification time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the single ledger into multiple ledgers, with each ledger associated with a specific blockchain that handles particular serial number ranges. This segmentation distributes the transaction logging workload across multiple ledgers, reducing the time required for transaction verification while maintaining ledger integrity through the structured division of recording responsibilities

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for executing a payment using a mobile portable device (100), a plurality of mobile portable devices, and a blockchain system (156). The blockchain system (156) comprises a plurality of blockchains (148, 149, 167). Each of the blockchains (148, 149, 167) is assigned one or more blockchain servers (140, 141, 161) which manage the corresponding blockchain (148, 149, 167). Each mobile portable device of the plurality of mobile portable devices is assigned a serial number from a set of serial numbers. The set of serial numbers is subdivided into a plurality of ranges of serial numbers.Each of the serial number ranges is assigned to one of the blockchains (148, 149, 167) of the blockchain system (156), which records payments from blockchain addresses that are assigned to mobile portable devices with serial numbers from the corresponding range of serial numbers.
