Autonomous Resource Request Transaction Framework Based on Blockchain in Social Network

Abstract

Currently, blockchain technology has been widely researched and is being applied to many other fields, such as financial transactions, E-government, logistics, and supply-chain system. It can be used to store and maintain transaction data through the de-centralized model. In this paper, we propose an autonomous resource request transaction framework based on blockchain in a social network, in which all kinds of resources in the social community can be traded through blockchain technology. When a user needs to acquire some resources from a community, the user may make a transaction with the members from the community through blockchain technology while the members autonomously negotiate each other to reach an agreement. The proposed framework provides an incentive mechanism to encourage community members to disseminate the resources through a smart contract.INDEX TERMS Resource request, transaction, blockchain, social network, community. I. INTRODUCTION A. BACKGROUNDWith the rapid development of network technology, online social network is developing rapidly. It has become a part of people's social life instead of the real social way. For example, many users are using some social software or online social networking sites (such as Facebook, MySpace and QQ) to make friends or communications, and the number of users has grown into a very large number. Based on these social software or sites, a lot of social networking groups have been established. In these social communities, the members of these communities come together because of various hobbies, interests or needs, where the members may share various resources, such as movies, songs and pictures. Therefore, this non-supervised and free resource sharing method also brings some problems, such as copyright and personal privacy protection. Then it also produces the direct contradiction of copyright control and free sharing service for network digital resources in social network. Some digital resources without copyright restriction are rapidly disseminated beyond controlThe associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Chien-Ming Chen.

Fair rewarding mechanism in music industry using smart contracts on public-permissionless blockchain

“…The present study was designed to develop smart contracts on public-permissionless blockchain to protect the music industry from the consequences of illegal downloading of copyright-protected music files. Similar to our work, the previous study [9] developed a framework for resource request transactions autonomously in social networks.…”

“…Yet, they have numerous potential uses. Implementation of smart contracts has been discussed in a few applications, including supply chain management [27], Internet of Things (IoT) [29], healthcare [15], energy trading [11], social networks [9], Internet communications [22], and music industry [26]. In this study, we focus on adopting smart contracts on a public-permissionless blockchain to develop decentralized music file-sharing platforms to protect the music industry.…”

“…As in [9], the proposed model considers a community of people networked together, where music file owners can upload their music files to a community network server on approval of the majority of the community and the file requesters can request a paid download from the community network. The proposed framework provides an incentive mechanism to support community members to share the resources using a smart contract.…”

An Efficient Blockchain-Based Bidirectional Friends Matching Scheme in Social Networks

“…Considering the unreliability of the centralized server, the researchers applied the blockchain technology to social networks architecture. Jiang et al [33] and Gu et al [34] proposed social network architectures that use the blockchain and smart contracts instead of centralized servers to provide social networking services. They mainly take advantage of the immutability of traditional blockchain and the fairness of smart contracts.…”
