Solution Overview

Problem

Maintaining data integrity and confidentiality across multiple databases in a real-time update environment is challenging, especially when updates are generated and pushed by multiple computing systems, requiring authentication to prevent malicious unauthorized changes.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based system that parses information associated with events to identify status state transitions, verifies electronic certificates, and executes smart contracts for secure and automated updates between parties, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of database records.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple computing systems generate and push updates to databases in real-time, then system productivity and responsiveness improve, but data integrity and security risks worsen due to increased exposure to unauthorized changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time update processingVSAvoiddata integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a blockchain as an intermediary layer between computing systems and databases. The blockchain verifies and authenticates updates before they are applied, ensuring data integrity while maintaining real-time processing capabilities. This mediator resolves the contradiction by enabling multiple systems to update data simultaneously without compromising security or integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If authentication mechanisms are implemented to verify computing systems, then data security improves, but system complexity increases due to additional verification steps

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidauthentication process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain system performs self-service authentication by automatically verifying the authenticity of updates through cryptographic signatures and consensus mechanisms. This eliminates the need for complex manual authentication processes while maintaining high security standards, thus resolving the contradiction between security and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Speed

If real-time update processing is implemented, then system responsiveness improves, but the risk of unauthorized changes increases without sufficient verification time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveupdate processing speedVSAvoidunauthorized changes
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain performs preliminary verification of update authenticity before the update is applied to the database. By pre-verifying cryptographic signatures and validating against consensus rules, the system ensures that only authorized changes are processed in real-time, eliminating the trade-off between speed and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A computerized system and method may include, in response to receiving a blockchain via a communications network that includes information associated with an event, parsing, by a blockchain parsing engine being executed by a blockchain node, the information to identify a status state of an item related to the event. The blockchain may be inclusive of the information along with the status state of the item may be stored in a storage unit. An event tracking engine may determine from the parsed information that the status state of the item transitioned from a first state to a second state. Responsive to the event tracking engine determining that a qualifying state is satisfied by the item being in the second state, automatically executing, by the blockchain node, a smart code inclusive of initiating communications between a first party and a second party.
