Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional blockchain solutions are used for digital currency applications, then the system works well for digital currencies, but the system becomes less applicable and requires costly reconstruction for other business scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal blockchain framework where the kernel engine can dynamically load and execute different kernel components through standardized interfaces. The configuration file mechanism allows the same core system to adapt to various business scenarios (digital currency, supply chain, healthcare, etc.) without requiring reconstruction, achieving multi-functionality through modular component assembly rather than hard-coded scenario-specific implementations
Solution Approach 2:
The blockchain system is segmented into distinct modular components: kernel engine, kernel components, application layer, and configuration files. This segmentation allows independent development, testing, and deployment of specific components for different scenarios while reusing the core kernel engine, thereby reducing reconstruction costs and technical thresholds when adapting to new business applications
2Adaptability or versatility
If in-depth reconstruction of the blockchain framework is performed to adapt to new scenarios, then the system becomes suitable for new applications, but the costs and technical thresholds become very high
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs dynamic configuration through configuration files that can be modified at runtime without recompiling or reconstructing the core framework. The kernel engine dynamically loads kernel components based on configuration parameters, enabling easy adaptation to new applications by simply changing configuration files rather than performing costly in-depth reconstruction of the blockchain framework
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces configuration files as an intermediary layer between the core blockchain framework and specific application requirements. This intermediary allows scenario-specific parameters and component selections to be defined externally without modifying the core system code, thereby enabling easy adaptation to new applications while avoiding the high costs and technical thresholds associated with direct framework reconstruction
3Adaptability or versatility
If the blockchain framework is deeply reconstructed for specific scenarios, then the system fits the scenario requirements, but the latest framework updates cannot be automatically followed up
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts scenario-specific customization requirements from the core framework by implementing them as external configuration files and selectable kernel components. This separation allows the core framework to remain unchanged and receive automatic updates, while scenario-specific adaptations are achieved through configuration changes that do not interfere with the update mechanism, thus maintaining both customization and automatic update capability
