Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If performance information is calculated and provided by a server device, then trustworthiness of prediction information is improved, but transparency and neutrality are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrustworthiness of prediction informationVSAvoidtransparency and neutrality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a blockchain-based intermediary system that mediates between prediction sellers and purchasers. The blockchain acts as a neutral third party that verifies and records performance information without allowing any single entity (including the server manager) to tamper with the data. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining trustworthiness through cryptographic verification while ensuring transparency through distributed ledger technology that all participants can verify.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional server-based centralized system with a blockchain-based distributed system. Instead of relying on a single server's calculation and provision of performance data, the system uses cryptographic algorithms and distributed consensus mechanisms to verify and record prediction performance. This substitution maintains reliability through cryptographic proof while achieving transparency through distributed verification by all network participants.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Device complexity

If the system is limited to public sports predictions, then calculation complexity is reduced, but versatility is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecalculation complexityVSAvoidapplicability to different sports
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal prediction market system that can handle multiple types of predictions across different sports. The blockchain-based architecture and standardized smart contracts allow the same system to process predictions for public sports, common sports like soccer and baseball, and other events. The system uses generic prediction structures that can accommodate various sport types without requiring separate specialized systems, thus achieving versatility while maintaining manageable complexity through standardization.

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

3Device complexity

If conventional analysis methods are used for sports with few predictions, then system complexity is reduced, but measurement precision is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidaccuracy of prediction analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where prediction performance is continuously tracked and verified through blockchain technology. The system collects actual outcomes of predictions, compares them with predicted outcomes, and uses this feedback to verify and update prediction seller performance records on the blockchain. This feedback loop ensures measurement precision by continuously validating predictions against actual results, while the automated nature of the feedback process keeps system complexity manageable through algorithmic processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Device complexity

If conventional analysis methods are used for enormous numbers of predictions, then system complexity is reduced, but productivity is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis method complexityVSAvoidreal-time prediction derivation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional centralized analysis methods with a blockchain-based distributed system that can process enormous numbers of predictions in real-time. The distributed nature of the blockchain network allows parallel processing of prediction data across multiple nodes, significantly increasing productivity. Smart contracts automatically execute prediction verification and performance calculation, eliminating the need for complex centralized analysis and enabling real-time derivation of optimal predictions even with large volumes of data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
