Abstract

A method for managing a genuine fabric with blockchain data comprises the following steps: receiving at least one image of a genuine fabric photographed by a computing device, wherein the image contains at least one anti-counterfeiting texture generated during a manufacturing process thereof, and the computing device performs image analysis on the anti-counterfeiting texture to obtain at least one hash value; forming an smart contract with a text serial number corresponding to the genuine fabric and the hash value by one of a plurality of nodes in a blockchain through the computing device, and launching the smart contract to the nodes; and providing a key to at least one of a fabric production end and a brand sales end, wherein after the smart contract is signed, a non-fungible token which is associated with the genuine fabric is minted at one of the nodes in the blockchain.

Claims (9)

1 . A method for managing a genuine fabric with blockchain data, comprising the following steps:

first step, receiving at least one image of the genuine fabric photographed by a computing device, wherein the at least one image contains at least one anti-counterfeiting texture generated during a manufacturing process of the genuine fabric; and performing image analysis on the at least one anti-counterfeiting texture to obtain at least one hash value by the computing device, wherein the computing device analyzes a form, a color distribution state, or special wavelength light absorption characteristics of the at least one anti-counterfeiting texture, and generates the at least one hash value based on the form, the color distribution state, or the special wavelength light absorption characteristics;

second step, forming a smart contract with a text serial number corresponding to the genuine fabric and the at least one hash value obtained by analyzing on the at least one anti-counterfeiting texture of the genuine fabric as a subject of contract by one of a plurality of nodes in a blockchain through the computing device, and launching the smart contract to the plurality of nodes, wherein the smart contract comprises a genuine fabric basic information and a genuine fabric traceability information; and

third step, providing a key to at least one of a fabric production end and a brand sales end, wherein a non-fungible token is minted from one of the plurality of nodes in the blockchain, and the non-fungible token is sent to each of the plurality of nodes in the blockchain, after the smart contract is signed; and the non-fungible token is associated with the genuine fabric, wherein the brand sales end conducts a first transfer of the non-fungible token.

2 . The method for managing the genuine fabric with the blockchain data according to claim 1 , wherein the blockchain comprises at least one Private Chain and a Public Chain that is able to be connected with the at least one Private Chain; formation and signing of the smart contract are implemented in the Private Chain; and the non-fungible token is minted and issued in the Public Chain.

3 . The method for managing the genuine fabric with the blockchain data according to claim 1 , wherein the genuine fabric traceability information comprises a raw material batch number, a product raw material composition list and a raw material inspection result.

4 . The method for managing the genuine fabric with the blockchain data according to claim 1 , wherein the smart contract comprises a recycling and reproduction information of genuine fabric.

5 . The method for managing the genuine fabric with the blockchain data according to claim 4 , wherein the smart contract comprises a carbon footprint information.

6 . The method for managing the genuine fabric with the blockchain data according to claim 4 , wherein one of visual images comprised in the genuine fabric basic information of the non-fungible token is generated by calculating the recycling and reproduction information of genuine fabric with an algorithm.
