Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a dividing unit, an adding unit, and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives content which is a target of a blockchain. The dividing unit divides the content into content sections. The adding unit adds, to the content sections obtained through the division performed by the dividing unit, information for generating the content from the content sections. The transmitting unit transmits the content sections through the blockchain. The content sections have the information added by the adding unit.

Claims (24)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit;

a determining unit;

a pending unit;

a dividing unit;

an adding unit; and

a transmitting unit, wherein

the receiving unit is configured to receive content which is a target of a blockchain;

the determining unit is configured to determine whether an amount of the received content is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount that the blockchain is capable of processing, the predetermined amount being a maximum amount that the blockchain is capable of processing;

the pending unit is configured to transmit the received content to the dividing unit;

the dividing unit is configured to divide, in response to the determining unit determining that the amount of the received content is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount that the blockchain is capable of processing, the received content into content sections;

the adding unit is configured to add, to the divided content sections from the dividing unit, a first information for generating the received content from the divided content sections; and

the transmitting unit is configured to transmit the added content sections through the blockchain such that the added content sections are stored in the blockchain, the added content sections comprising the first information and the divided content sections.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiving unit is further configured to receive the content from a transmission source,

the determining unit is further configured to, in response to determining that the amount of the received content is greater than or equal to the maximum amount that the blockchain is capable of processing, transmit second information indicating pending, and

the transmitting unit is further configured to transmit, to the transmission source, a message, the message comprising the second information indicating pending.

3. An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for receiving content which is a target of a blockchain;

means for determining whether an amount of the received content is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount that the blockchain is capable of processing, wherein the predetermined amount is a maximum amount that the blockchain is capable of processing;

means for transmitting the received content to means for dividing the received content;

the means for dividing, in response to the means for determining that the amount of the received content is greater than or equal to the predetermined amount that the blockchain is capable of processing, the received content into content sections;

means for adding, to the divided content sections, first information for generating the received content from the divided content sections; and

means for transmitting the added content sections through the blockchain such that the added content sections are stored in the blockchain, the added content sections comprising the first information and the divided content sections.
