Abstract

Appearance data associated with a target commodity is collected by a blockchain node device, where original appearance data associated with the target commodity is registered with a distributed database associated with a blockchain in advance. Whether a damage event occurs on the target commodity is determined by the blockchain node device based on the appearance data and the original appearance data. In response to a determination that the damage event occurs on the target commodity, a smart contract corresponding to the target commodity is invoked by the blockchain node device. Commodity damage claim logic stated in the smart contract is executed by the blockchain node device to complete a commodity damage claim for the target commodity.

determining whether a key position of the target commodity is damaged based on the current appearance data and the original appearance data; and

in response to determining that the key position is damaged, determining that the damage event has occurred on the target commodity.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein invoking the smart contract comprises:

submitting a transaction to the smart contract, wherein the smart contract is recorded in the blockchain, and wherein the smart contract is recorded in the blockchain after a plurality of specified blockchain node devices reached a consensus.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the target commodity is coated with an optical medium that is used to cure the original appearance data and the current appearance data associated with the target commodity, and wherein collecting the current appearance data associated with the target commodity comprises collecting, by the optical sensor, the current appearance data associated with the target commodity that is cured by the optical medium.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a processor of a blockchain node device that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform one or more operations comprising:

collecting, from an optical sensor of the blockchain node device, current appearance data associated with a target commodity;

querying original appearance data associated with the target commodity, wherein the original appearance data is stored in a distributed database of a blockchain;

obtaining, the original appearance data associated with the target commodity from the distributed database of the blockchain;

comparing, the current appearance data and the original appearance data;

determining that a damage event has occurred on the target commodity based on a comparison of the current appearance data and the original appearance data;

in response to the determination that the damage event has occurred on the target commodity, invoking a smart contract corresponding to the target commodity;

executing commodity damage claim logic stated in the smart contract; and

completing a commodity damage claim for the target commodity.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the one or more operations further comprising:

prior to collecting the current appearance data associated with the target commodity:

registering the original appearance data as an identity of the target commodity, wherein the target commodity is registered with the blockchain, and

storing the original appearance data in the distributed database.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the one or more operations further comprising:

prior to determining that the damage event has occurred on the target commodity based on the comparison of the current appearance data and the original appearance data:

obtaining an identifier of the target commodity; and

querying the original appearance data by the identifier in the distributed database of the blockchain to obtain the original appearance data.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein determining that the damage event has occurred on the target commodity based on the comparison of the current appearance data and the original appearance data comprises:
