1Productivity

If conventional error correction methods are used to handle blockchain event logs, then the system structure remains simple, but the efficiency of identifying and correcting errors deteriorates due to unstructured log formats

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror correction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between the blockchain event logs and the error correction system. This intermediary uses natural language processing and machine learning to transform unstructured log data into structured, analyzable formats, enabling efficient error identification without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical/error-driven correction methods with intelligent systems based on natural language processing and predictive analysis. Instead of relying on predefined error patterns, the system uses AI algorithms to understand and interpret unstructured log data, automatically identifying and correcting errors that would be impossible to detect with traditional methods

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

2Measurement precision

If machine learning algorithms are implemented to analyze unstructured event logs, then error identification accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-training machine learning models on historical blockchain event logs and error patterns. This allows the system to have pre-established knowledge bases and predictive capabilities, enabling rapid error identification during actual operation without requiring extensive real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system continuously learns from corrected errors and updates its models. This feedback loop improves accuracy over time while optimizing processing speeds, as the system becomes more efficient at recognizing common error patterns through accumulated experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

If automatic error correction is implemented, then productivity improves, but the risk of introducing new errors increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror correction speedVSAvoidcorrection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through automated verification mechanisms where the system validates its own corrections before applying them. The machine learning models confidently identify errors and automatically apply corrections only when prediction confidence exceeds predetermined thresholds, ensuring reliability while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies beforehand cushioning by implementing multiple layers of validation and testing before corrections are deployed to production. The system simulates corrections in controlled environments, verifies their safety, and only applies them when proven reliable, thus cushioning against potential new errors while maintaining fast correction capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

A system for automated and intelligent error correction within an electronic blockchain ledger is provided. The system may analyze unformatted/unstructured blockchain event logs using machine learning algorithms in order to identify and label the errors within the event logs. Based on the identified errors, the system may use predictive analysis in conjunction with error or rule repositories and/or machine learning to identify potential solutions to the identified errors. Once the potential solutions have been identified, the system may automatically attempt to rectify the blockchain transaction errors using the potential solutions. The system may further comprise trend/correlation analyses and reporting functions regarding various metrics and may output said metrics in various accessible formats.
