Innovation Solution

A method and system for collecting, classifying, and processing energy data from households, including energy production, consumption, and storage data, using a blockchain transaction management system that corrects errors and omissions, and rearranges transactions based on block generation periods to prevent errors, ensuring data reliability and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If energy data is collected and processed for blockchain registration, then data reliability and accuracy are improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for data correction and block generation period management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting energy data during a predetermined block generation period before blockchain registration. This advance data collection and organization ensures that data is ready for registration while maintaining reliability, as the system pre-processes and validates data before it enters the blockchain, avoiding the need for complex real-time corrections during registration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary layer between energy data collectors and the blockchain system. This intermediary manages the complexity by handling data correction, duplicate detection, and block generation period coordination. The intermediary absorbs the complexity of data management while presenting a simplified interface to both the data collectors and the blockchain system, thereby improving data reliability without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If duplicate transactions are prevented by applying block generation period, then data accuracy is improved, but loss of time increases due to the periodic nature of block generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidblock generation period
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic action by organizing blockchain transactions into discrete blocks generated at predetermined time intervals. This periodic block generation naturally prevents duplicate transactions by ensuring that each block contains unique, non-duplicate energy data entries. The periodic structure provides a clear temporal framework that eliminates ambiguity in transaction sequencing and ensures data accuracy while accepting the time cost as a necessary trade-off for maintaining blockchain integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Productivity

If energy data is collected from multiple households, then productivity is improved through integrated management, but device complexity increases due to the need for data classification and processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy data management efficiencyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing energy data into distinct categories based on household identification. Each household's energy data is segmented and processed separately before being integrated into the blockchain. This segmentation simplifies the data processing complexity by allowing the system to handle each household's data through standardized procedures, then combine the processed segments into the final integrated energy data structure for blockchain registration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
