Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack an efficient and secure method to automatically capture, certify, and verify interactions between multiple devices with minimal user interaction, while protecting against tampering and unauthorized access in a distributed blockchain environment.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for block reconciliation in a blockchain environment, utilizing a network-connected computer with programmable instructions to reconcile blocks, validate interactions, and ensure their authenticity by using distributed ledgers for secure and tamper-proof recording.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If distributed ledger technology is used to securely record interactions, then tamper-proof recording and data integrity are improved, but system complexity and computational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the blockchain network into multiple nodes, each independently maintaining a copy of the ledger. This segmentation distributes the complexity across multiple independent units rather than requiring a single complex centralized system, while maintaining data integrity through consensus mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
Each node in the distributed ledger maintains a complete copy of the interaction records. This copying approach ensures that data integrity is preserved across multiple independent copies, eliminating single points of failure while the redundancy naturally handles tamper-proof verification through consensus.
2Measurement precision
If multiple participants are involved in interaction recording, then verification accuracy and security are improved, but communication overhead and reconciliation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by having each participant immediately record their interaction perspective in the distributed ledger at the time of interaction. This real-time recording eliminates the need for later reconciliation processes, as the ledger is continuously updated and maintained in sync across all nodes, thus preserving verification accuracy without incurring time delays.
3Ease of operation
If automated interaction capture is implemented, then user interaction requirements are reduced, but system security requirements and validation complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service automation where devices automatically capture and record their own interaction data in the distributed ledger without requiring user intervention. The cryptographic security mechanisms and consensus protocols operate autonomously to validate and secure these automated records, maintaining high security while minimizing user interaction requirements.

AI summary
A system and method for block management of interactions comprising a network-connected block management computer connected to a plurality of connected devices and to one or more blockchains to enable an object compiler to receive a plurality of criteria from a requesting device. The compiler the receives a plurality of blocks from the blockchains based on the criteria. Each block corresponding to a preconfigured interaction object previously written by devices either during or after the completion of a transaction. The compiler analyzes the preconfigured interaction objects to determine if there is corresponding supplemental object. The compiler requests the supplemental blocks from the blockchains, and processes supplemental objects based on type, if no corresponding supplemental object it found, the associated interaction object is flagged.
