The invention discloses a block chain data comparison and consensus method used for hash value calculation of content of each transaction. By changing the random numbers, the numbers of some bits of the hash values are set not to be repeated in a time period, and can be called as unrepeated serial numbers. Accounting servers are used to compare the numbers of the preset bits of the hash values to determine whether the transactions are identical or not. The unrepeated serial number comparison can be carried out in a way of establishing the Merkle-like tree, and because the numbers of the preset bits of the hash values of the transactions are not repeated, and can be used as the serial numbers, and can be disposed in the Merkle-like tree according to the certain rule, and therefore for different accounting servers, the positions of the hash values of the same transaction on the Merkle trees are totally identical, and the differences can be found out quickly, the data transfer amount can be reduced, and the time required by the consensus can be greatly accelerated.

A technique for eliminating duplicate data is provided. Upon receipt of a new data set, one or more anchor points are identified within the data set. A bit-by-bit data comparison is then performed of the region surrounding the anchor point in the received data set with the region surrounding an anchor point stored within a pattern database to identify forward / backward delta values. The duplicate data identified by the anchor point, forward and backward delta values is then replaced in the received data set with a storage indicator.

The present invention provides systems and methods for obtaining information from a networked system utilizing a distributed web crawler. The distributed nature of clients of a server is leveraged to provide fast and accurate web crawling data. Information gathered by a server's web crawler is compared to data retrieved by clients of the server to update the crawler's data. In one instance of the present invention, data comparison is achieved by utilizing information disseminated via a search engine results page. In another instance of the present invention, data validation is accomplished by client dictionaries, emanating from a server, that summarize web crawler data. The present invention also facilitates data analysis by providing a means to resist spoofing of a web crawler to increase data accuracy.

Web control validation may be defined using one or more declarations that are included in an ASP+ file by the web page author. The declarations specify server-side objects that validate the input data received in the web page and provide error handling in the event of a validation failure error. Validation declaration parameters specify the validation criteria against which the input data is validated. Example validation operations involve regular expressions, required fields, data comparison, range comparison and custom validation. Validation parameters can also specify- either server-side validation or client-side validation, depending on the client browser's capabilities. In a server-side scenario, a server-side validation object processes the input data received in an HTTP request from the client. In a client-side scenario, a server-side validation object renders the appropriate client-side code to validate the input data without a round trip between the client and the server.

Systems and methods perform comparison of data represented as charts, for example, bar graphs, pie charts, line charts or stacked bar charts. The charts present visual representations mapping source values to target values. A user can select charts associated with a data records for comparison from an index of data records. The user selects a chart and a particular source value from the reference chart. The target values corresponding to the source value from other charts are compared against the target value from the reference chart. An aggregate of the target values associated with the source value from each chart may be presented to the user. The user can also use multi-touch input to select object representing data and drag them to perform actions associated with the objects. The actions performed on the objects depend on the locations of the objects as the user drags them.
