A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11853978B2) outlines a virtual currency remittance method executed within a system comprising multiple first computers and a second computer connected to a blockchain network. Each first computer includes a database (DB) and blockchain associated with specific channels for virtual currency use. The method involves steps such as communicating with a user's terminal to acquire account discrimination information, displaying remittable accounts based on user context information, determining the recipient account, and executing the transaction within the blockchain network. The system ensures compliance with geographical and temporal conditions for remittance, enhancing security and efficiency in virtual currency transactions.

Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as acquiring user discrimination information, associating user and account discrimination information within a financial institution's account management system, and accessing balance information before executing transactions. By integrating user context, account management, and balance monitoring, the virtual currency remittance method offers a comprehensive solution for secure and streamlined transactions within the blockchain network. These innovative features aim to address the challenges associated with traditional remittance methods, providing a robust framework for efficient virtual currency transfers while ensuring compliance with relevant conditions and user preferences.
