Oracle, a MySQL database giant, applied for blockchain patents
Oracle's latest patent application shows that the database giant is considering using blockchain technology to improve its internal workflow.
On April 27, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued an application for "extension of continuous delivery process management". The application was originally submitted in September last year, which described in detail the use of blockchain technology as a distributed information point in the product delivery process.
The patent describes the use of blockchain technology to provide transparency, so that all employees can access data to complete a specific workflow. This includes their work behavior and what their next job is.
It further prevents the central data store from being cracked. Hong Kong vps Application description:
Because of its characteristics, the block chain flow method provides a self-tuning mechanism for recording and processing state adjustment after system failure. For example, if the record is unavailable, the process continues to use block point-to-point adjustment in the fail safe mode, so the transaction state is maintained during the interruption. “
Oracle's "process block chain" concept also has security risks.
For example, specific projects can handle sensitive or proprietary information. According to the application, the system allows employees to return to the central scheduling, without being able to view the next task, so that their computers are not affected by the external world.
"Due to security restrictions, this is very important for the situation where the employee is absent and needs to return to confirm the central dispatching," the patent further wrote.
In addition, Subramanian Iyer, a senior manager of the company, also published an article last year that Oracle considered using block chain to promote information security exchange.
"Obviously, this blockchain can also increase the security of data exchange in other industries, and make the data transmission between both parties more convenient," he wrote.
