According to GlobalData’s company profile on China UnionPay, Social commerce was a key innovation area identified from patents. China UnionPay's grant share as of July 2024 was 41%. Grant share is based on the ratio of number of grants to total number of patents.
The patent US12045492B2 outlines a data storage method and apparatus designed for efficient management of user identification and associated data across multiple distributed hosts. The method begins with acquiring a first user identification and corresponding user data, followed by determining a first identification distributed host and a first data distributed host from at least two preset hosts located in different areas. The first identification distributed host stores the user identification and generates a corresponding identity identification, which is then sent to the first data distributed host for storage alongside the user data. The claims further detail processes for updating and deleting user identifications and data, ensuring that the system can adapt to changes in user information while maintaining data integrity across distributed locations.
Additionally, the patent specifies mechanisms for determining home areas for user identifications and data types, which guide the selection of appropriate distributed hosts. This includes provisions for handling multiple user identifications for the same user, allowing for updates and deletions as necessary. The apparatus comprises a processor and memory, with the processor executing the outlined methods to manage user data effectively. The claims also encompass querying processes for retrieving user data based on target user identifications, ensuring that the system can efficiently access and manage data across distributed hosts. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive framework for data storage that emphasizes flexibility, security, and efficient data management in a distributed environment.
