Solution Overview

Problem

Current blockchain systems are unable to process large amounts of content, leading to rejection and inability to handle content beyond their defined capacity or processing performance limits.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus that divides large content into sections, adds necessary information for restoration, and transmits these sections through the blockchain, enabling the processing of content that exceeds the standard capacity by breaking it down into manageable parts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If content is transmitted through the blockchain as a whole, then the content can be processed and stored, but the blockchain cannot handle content that exceeds its processing capacity

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent amountVSAvoidprocessing success rate

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides large content into multiple smaller content sections that can be individually processed by the blockchain. Each section is transmitted separately through the blockchain network, allowing the system to handle content that exceeds the original processing capacity while maintaining reliable transmission of each segment

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the blockchain processes only content within its capacity limit, then processing reliability is maintained, but the range of processable content is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent processing rangeVSAvoidcontent capacity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting content into smaller sections, the system can process content of any size by dividing it into manageable chunks that fit within blockchain capacity limits, thereby extending the processing range without sacrificing reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent embeds multiple content sections within a unified transmission framework, where each section contains necessary information for reconstruction. This nested structure allows the blockchain to handle large content volumes by processing individual sections while maintaining the ability to reconstruct the complete content

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Quantity of substance

If large content is divided into sections, then the blockchain can process content exceeding its capacity, but additional information must be added for content reconstruction

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent amountVSAvoiddata structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization of content sections by adding necessary identification and reconstruction information before transmission. This preliminary action ensures that each section can be independently verified and properly reassembled, reducing the complexity of the reconstruction process while enabling handling of large content volumes

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a dividing unit, an adding unit, and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives content which is a target of a blockchain. The dividing unit divides the content into content sections. The adding unit adds, to the content sections obtained through the division performed by the dividing unit, information for generating the content from the content sections. The transmitting unit transmits the content sections through the blockchain. The content sections have the information added by the adding unit.
