Solution Overview

Problem

Current blockchain technologies lack efficient methods for splitting and transferring asset objects, limiting the ability to convert real-world assets into digital assets and manage them online effectively.

Innovation Solution

The method involves a node device in a blockchain receiving an asset object transfer request, invoking a contract object corresponding to the asset type, splitting the asset object into target objects, and updating address information to facilitate online transfer and management of assets within the blockchain.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If blockchain technology is used to store and manage asset objects, then security and decentralization are improved, but the ability to split and transfer assets efficiently deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidasset splitting and transfer efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides an asset object into multiple target asset objects through a splitting operation. The contract object receives a splitting instruction and generates multiple smaller asset objects from a single original asset object, enabling efficient distribution and transfer while maintaining security on the blockchain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If asset objects are transferred directly without splitting, then transfer simplicity is improved, but asset management flexibility deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer simplicityVSAvoidasset management flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dynamic splitting mechanism where asset objects can be divided into multiple target asset objects based on transfer requirements. This allows the system to adapt between simple direct transfers and complex split transfers, providing both simplicity when needed and flexibility when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If asset objects are split into multiple target objects, then asset distribution capability is improved, but system complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset distribution capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a contract object as an intermediary that handles the complex splitting logic. The contract object receives splitting instructions, generates target asset objects, and manages the transfer process, thereby isolating the complexity from the user and simplifying the overall system interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If real-world assets are converted to digital assets in blockchain, then online management capability is improved, but conversion process complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveonline management capabilityVSAvoidconversion process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the contract object automatically handles the conversion and splitting processes. Once the initial asset object is created from real-world assets, subsequent operations such as splitting and transferring are handled automatically by the smart contract, reducing the complexity of ongoing conversion processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

This specification describes techniques for managing assets in a blockchain. One example method includes receiving, from a target user recorded in a distributed database of a blockchain network, a user input including a request to transfer an asset object including a digital asset corresponding to a physical asset associated with the target user, in response to receiving the request, determining a contract object based on an asset type of the asset object, processing the asset object using the contract object to generate a plurality of target objects, deleting address information from the plurality of target objects, and adding the address information to asset receiving objects corresponding to the plurality of target objects.
