Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has recently secured a blockchain patent, marked as 'Blockchain-based Vehicle Management Method, Device, Terminal, and Storage Medium' (registration number: CN110889520B).

Filed in November 2019, the patent introduces a system that employs blockchain for effective road vehicle management.

Blockchain Vehicle Management

Simply, this involves overseeing and optimising various aspects of how road vehicles are handled.

Tencent's patented method utilises blockchain to enhance the efficiency of this process.

The system works by having a central vehicle management node access parking information, then retrieve specific details about a vehicle using its license plate hash value from the blockchain.

This information includes not just the vehicle's presence within a parking lot but also other forms of data associated with it.

Once this vehicle data is retrieved, the system identifies nearby service points and sends corresponding service orders directly to users through their terminals.

What makes this system stand out is the involvement of consensus nodes in the blockchain network.

These nodes collectively agree on the validity of the service reservation information.

When a consensus is reached, the relevant data is permanently added to the blockchain.

If you are often troubled by finding a suitable servicing location for your vehicle, this application brings significant improvements to the flexibility of selecting service points for vehicle owners.

It also enhances the accuracy of service recommendations, ultimately creating a more streamlined and efficient vehicle management experience.

Tencent's Continued Interest in Blockchain

Tencent's venture into blockchain doesn't stop here.

In September, Tencent Cloud introduced Tencent Cloud Blockchain RPC, a product developed in collaboration with Ankr.

This Web3-native product aims to provide reliable infrastructure for Web3 and streamline the development process for those working on Web3 projects.

Tencent Cloud Blockchain RPC allows developers to easily interact with different blockchains, emphasising on quick and efficient transactions, thereby facilitating the development of decentralised applications.

The Blockchain RPC service is available in two versions: a public version for free blockchain interaction with specific features and rate limits, and a premium version for Pay-as-you-Go blockchain interaction, offering increased request throughput and enhanced rate limits.
