Abstract: Hybrid-storage blockchain supports trustworthy data sharing in supply-chain with multi-party collaboration through on-chain and off-chain storage model. Aiming at the inefficiency problem caused by the existing spatio-temporal keyword query method which reads all the off-chain data in advance and adopts B+ tree as index, a spatio-temporal keyword query method in hybrid-storage blockchain is proposed. Firstly, an attribute classified blockchain model is designed, and a B2M-BKM two-level index structure is designed within and between blocks to support relational query and efficiently retrieve block data. Secondly, an on-chain and off-chain spatio-temporal keyword query method is designed to improve the queries efficiency. Finally, experiments are carried out on public data sets to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: blockchain; on-off chain hybrid storage; two-level index structure; spatio-temporal keyword query; kD-tree
