Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems face challenges in maintaining transaction integrity across computing systems, particularly due to human and network errors, miscommunication, and differing computing systems, leading to transaction breaks that result in erroneous data and processing slowdowns.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based method that authenticates transactions by ensuring matching terms between parties, preventing transaction breaks by only executing agreements where both parties concur, and maintaining privacy by not disclosing transaction details to other nodes, thus avoiding unnecessary processing and power consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual data entry is used by multiple parties into their respective databases, then each party can maintain their own transaction records, but human and network errors cause transaction breaks and data inconsistency

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of transaction recordingVSAvoidtransaction data accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a blockchain network as an intermediary between multiple parties. Instead of each party manually entering data into their own database, the blockchain serves as a shared mediator that automatically records and synchronizes transaction data across all parties, eliminating manual entry errors and ensuring data consistency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements automated feedback mechanisms where the blockchain network continuously verifies and compares transaction data across all participating parties. When discrepancies are detected, the system automatically identifies and corrects errors, providing real-time feedback to maintain data accuracy without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If computers automatically process transactions using their internal calendars and clocks, then processing speed increases, but unsynchronized timekeeping causes transaction breaks

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransaction processing speedVSAvoidtransaction timing accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain network provides a universal timestamping service that all participating computers use regardless of their local time settings. This multi-functional approach allows the system to maintain both fast automated processing and accurate timing by relying on the shared blockchain time reference for all transaction recordings.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If the computer identifies and processes transaction breaks by comparing terms from multiple parties, then data integrity can be maintained, but processing time increases and errors may occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransaction term accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time for transaction breaks

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation of transaction terms at the point of entry into the blockchain, before conflicts can arise. By checking and standardizing terms upfront during the transaction creation process, the system prevents breaks rather than detecting and resolving them later, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If all transaction details are disclosed to blockchain nodes for verification, then transaction integrity is ensured, but processing overhead and power consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransaction verification accuracyVSAvoidnode processing energy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality verification where nodes only verify transaction attributes relevant to their specific function and consensus rules, rather than examining all transaction details. This selective verification approach maintains transaction integrity while significantly reducing the processing overhead and energy consumption for each node.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality
