Functional Modules Sharing and Blockchain Based Validation in Office Automation Systems

Abstract

Office Automation (OA) plays a very important role in our work. It makes the work easier and simpler. Smart office automation systems are widely used nowadays. However, almost all current OAs are based on the working flow and are centralized with many limitations. This paper presents the design and implementation of a brand-new mechanism. Unlike the traditional OA system, key of the new mechanism is to retrieve the main functionality from each company in the same office building, then many functional modules are shared with each other with cloud platform. In addition, the scheme of blockchain is deployed for the validation of the functional modules. We designed hash records for the blockchain sequences. Under this architecture, we implemented a decentralized blockchain mechanism for delivering transparent, secure, reliable, and timely functional blocks. This kind of consensus-based validation guarantees the security and reliability of the system.
