Blockchain-based bill number allocation method, apparatus and electronic device
In an implementation of a computer-implemented method, a target transaction sent by a billing initiator is received, where the target transaction includes bill information of an e-bill to be issued. In response to the target transaction, check logic is invoked in a smart contract deployed in a blockchain network, and a validity check is performed on the bill information. If the validity check succeeds, allocation logic is invoked in the smart contract, and an e-bill number is allocated to the bill information from available e-bill number segments maintained in a blockchain account corresponding to a biller of the e-bill.

wherein the network node in the blockchain network is connected to a server of a billing regulator by using an oracle, wherein the oracle facilitates synchronizing data on the server of the billing regulator outside the blockchain network to the blockchain network to implement data exchange and conversion of assets between the blockchain network and the real world, and further comprises:
invoking billing logic in the smart contract deployed in the blockchain network;
obtaining an e-bill template from the server of the billing regulator by using the oracle;
generating the e-bill from the bill information and the e-bill number based on the e-bill template; and
publishing the e-bill in the blockchain network for storage.
2. The computer-implemented method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the bill information comprises a bill type of the e-bill and the blockchain account corresponding to the biller maintains available number segments corresponding to bill types that are issued by the biller of the e-bill; and

determining an available number segment corresponding to a bill type of the e-bill to be issued from the available e-bill number segments maintained in the blockchain account corresponding to the biller of the e-bill; and
allocating the e-bill number to the bill information from the available number segment.
3. The computer-implemented method according to claim 1 , wherein the validity check comprises one or both of checking permission of the billing initiator or checking billing permission of the biller.

wherein the network node in the blockchain network is connected to a server of a billing regulator by using an oracle, wherein the oracle facilitates synchronizing data on the server of the billing regulator outside the blockchain network to the blockchain network to implement data exchange and conversion of assets between the blockchain network and the real world; and the operations further comprise:
invoking billing logic in the smart contract deployed in the blockchain network;
obtaining an e-bill template from the server of the billing regulator by using the oracle;
generating the e-bill from the bill information and the e-bill number based on the e-bill template obtained; and
publishing the e-bill in the blockchain network for storage.
6. The computer-implemented apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein:
the bill information comprises a bill type of the e-bill and the blockchain account corresponding to the biller maintains available number segments corresponding to bill types that are issued by the biller of the e-bill; and
allocating the e-bill number to the bill information from the available e-bill number segments maintained in the blockchain account corresponding to the biller of the e-bill comprises:
determining an available number segment corresponding to a bill type of the e-bill to be issued from the available e-bill number segments maintained in the blockchain account corresponding to the biller of the e-bill; and
allocating the e-bill number to the bill information from the available number segment.
7. The computer-implemented apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the validity check comprises one or both of checking permission of the billing initiator or checking billing permission of the biller.
8. The computer-implemented apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the blockchain network is a consortium blockchain network, and consortium members in the consortium blockchain network comprise a financial institution serving as the billing regulator and a billing institution serving as the biller.
9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system deployed in a network node in a blockchain network to perform operations for blockchain-based bill number allocation, comprising:
receiving a target transaction sent by a billing initiator, wherein the target transaction comprises bill information of an e-bill to be issued;
in response to the target transaction, invoking check logic in a smart contract deployed in the blockchain network, and performing validity check on the bill information; and
