Solution Overview

Problem

Blockchain-based systems face challenges in securely converting between digital assets and non-digital assets, such as fiat currencies, due to security risks and inefficiencies in existing conversion methods, which require either volatile digital asset sales or transmission of off-chain asset credentials.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a blockchain-based inflow/outflow algorithm that links electronic funding wallets to digital wallets, allowing for secure conversion between digital and non-digital assets using fixed conversion rates and reducing the need for off-chain transactions by utilizing on-chain alternate asset holdings, thereby enhancing security and reducing redundant storage and compute power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If digital assets are converted to non-digital assets by selling digital assets, then the conversion can be completed, but the user faces volatile market forces and loses control over the conversion process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversion securityVSAvoidconversion control
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary conversion mechanism where the system automatically manages the conversion between digital and non-digital assets through linked electronic funding wallets. This intermediary layer protects users from direct exposure to volatile market forces while maintaining conversion control through pre-established linkage relationships rather than requiring active trading decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by establishing linked electronic funding wallets before conversion is needed. Users pre-link their digital wallets to external funding sources, so when conversion is required, the system can immediately execute the conversion without requiring users to actively sell assets at unfavorable market moments. This preliminary setup resolves the contradiction by ensuring both security and control are maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If off-chain asset credentials are transmitted for conversion, then the conversion can be facilitated, but network security risks and susceptibility to hacking increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversion facilitationVSAvoidsecurity risks
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the vulnerable element (off-chain asset credentials) from the conversion process. Instead of transmitting sensitive credential information across networks, the system uses on-chain digital wallet linkages that reference external funding sources without exposing actual credential data. This extraction eliminates the security vulnerability while preserving conversion functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses digital copies or references of asset credentials through blockchain wallet addresses rather than transmitting the actual credential data. The electronic funding wallet linkage creates a secure reference mechanism where the blockchain network can facilitate conversion by referencing wallet addresses and balances without ever exposing sensitive credential information, thus eliminating hacking vulnerabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate electronic systems are used for digital and non-digital assets, then system independence is maintained, but transmission is susceptible to interception and third-party exploitation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem independenceVSAvoidtransmission security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the functionality of separate electronic systems by creating a unified blockchain-based platform that handles both digital and non-digital asset conversions. The electronic funding wallet linkage mechanism combines the independence benefits of separate systems with the security advantages of a unified, secure transmission channel. All conversions occur through the blockchain network using cryptographic security, eliminating the need for separate vulnerable transmission channels while maintaining system adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Reliability

If digital wallets are linked to electronic funding wallets, then security is improved and off-chain credential transmission is eliminated, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing the electronic funding wallet linkage mechanism to serve multiple functions simultaneously. The same linkage infrastructure supports both conversion operations and security verification, eliminates credential transmission while enabling asset transfers, and works across different digital asset types. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized systems, thereby managing complexity while maintaining high security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
