Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If medical information is stored on a blockchain to ensure security and confidentiality, then data security is improved, but accessibility and ease of viewing the information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidaccessibility of medical information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between the blockchain storage and the user interface. This intermediary retrieves data from the blockchain, processes it through machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful information, and presents it in an accessible format. The intermediary layer maintains security by not exposing the underlying blockchain structure while enabling easy access to processed information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates processed copies of the medical information stored on the blockchain. Instead of requiring users to directly access and interpret raw blockchain data, the system generates simplified representations and visualizations that convey the same medical information in an easily understandable format, thereby improving accessibility without compromising the original secure storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If medical information is stored in structured formats on blockchain, then data security is improved, but ease of viewing and understanding the information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidunderstandability of medical information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of information presentation by transforming structured blockchain data into visually intuitive formats. Machine learning algorithms analyze the structured data and generate visual representations such as graphs, charts, or annotated images that maintain the security of original storage while dramatically improving understandability for medical practitioners.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical approach of directly viewing raw structured data with an intelligent processing system. Machine learning algorithms automatically interpret and visualize the structured information, substituting manual data analysis with automated intelligent processing that enhances understandability while preserving data security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If keyword-based search is used to access medical information, then accessibility is improved, but efficiency and accuracy of information retrieval deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility of informationVSAvoidefficiency of information retrieval
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service functionality where the machine learning algorithms automatically understand and retrieve relevant medical information without requiring users to formulate precise keyword searches. The system autonomously interprets user needs and retrieves appropriate data, improving both accessibility and retrieval efficiency simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the machine learning models continuously learn from user interactions and retrieval patterns. This feedback loop enables the system to improve its information retrieval accuracy over time, making it increasingly efficient at understanding user needs and providing relevant medical information without relying on traditional keyword-based approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
