Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If information is transmitted over the internet in an energy internet system, then information interaction and energy dispatch are enabled, but information security and integrity are compromised due to tampering risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation interactionVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces blockchain technology as an intermediary layer between energy devices and the internet. The blockchain node module acts as a mediator that records energy information in a distributed, immutable ledger, preventing tampering while enabling information interaction. This resolves the contradiction by providing a trusted intermediary that maintains security without blocking communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates copies of energy information across multiple blockchain nodes in the network. Each node maintains a copy of the distributed ledger, ensuring that the original information cannot be tampered with without detection. This copying mechanism enables reliable information interaction while maintaining security through redundancy and verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If blockchain technology is implemented to ensure information security, then information integrity is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation integrityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the energy internet system into distinct functional modules: energy information acquisition module, blockchain node module, communication network node module, and energy dispatch node module. Each module has a specific function, and the blockchain functionality is segmented into discrete operations (writing information, obtaining blocks, verification). This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by making each component manageable and independent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain network operates autonomously through consensus mechanisms, where nodes automatically verify and record transactions without requiring centralized control. The system self-manages security and integrity through built-in cryptographic verification and distributed consensus, reducing the need for complex external security management infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If energy information is written to the blockchain network for every interaction, then information reliability is ensured, but processing time and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation reliabilityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements selective blockchain writing where not every piece of energy information is written to the blockchain. Instead, only critical information requiring immutable verification is recorded on-chain, while less critical data can be handled through faster off-chain mechanisms. This partial action approach maintains reliability for essential data while reducing overall processing time and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
