Application: Methods for blockchain offline operations management (Patent ID: US20240089130A1)
The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. discloses methods and apparatus for offline management of blockchain nodes. The invention involves a method where a first blockchain node transmits a message to a second node indicating its offline status and the time it will go offline. The second node then selects a proxy node for the first node, which transitions to offline status at the specified time. The patent also includes claims related to the method, such as the involvement of a Blockchain Management Function (BMF) in selecting proxy nodes based on capabilities and offline timing.
Furthermore, the patent describes a first blockchain node comprising a receiver, transmitter, and processor, where the transmitter sends messages to the BMF indicating offline status and capabilities, the receiver receives information on the selected proxy node, and the processor manages the transition to offline status. The claims also detail the involvement of a Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) as the first blockchain node, the selection of proxy nodes based on capabilities and offline timing by the BMF, and the inclusion of a Blockchain Offline Operation Management (BOOM) function for managing offline operations of blockchain nodes. Overall, the patent focuses on efficient offline management of blockchain nodes through a systematic process involving communication between nodes and the selection of proxy nodes.
