US Patent 11513815 Defining data storage within smart contracts

The source code of a smart contract defines a schema for a data map with a map name, a key, and a value, and when executing the smart contract, a virtual machine calls an function that inserts the data map into a data store as defined by the data map schema, the inserted data map comprising the map name defined in the smart contract source code, a key value defined in a transaction for the key, and a value from the transaction for the value.
