Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a decentralized peer-to-peer network is used to manage property information, then data security and integrity are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments property management information into distinct blockchain blocks, with each block containing specific property data (registration, usage, repair information). This segmentation allows the decentralized network to manage complex information in organized, manageable units while maintaining security and integrity across distributed nodes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain acts as an intermediary layer between users and the property management system. By introducing this trusted intermediary, the system achieves enhanced data security and integrity without requiring direct complex peer-to-peer verification mechanisms between all participants, thus managing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If blockchain technology is implemented for property management, then data integrity is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing property information into structured blocks with defined schemas before adding them to the blockchain. Registration information, usage information, and repair information are prepared in advance with proper formatting, which reduces processing time when these blocks need to be validated and added to the chain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system optimizes processing time by changing parameters such as block size limits, consensus algorithm selection, and data compression techniques. By adjusting these parameters, the system balances data integrity verification requirements with acceptable processing speeds for property management operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If information is distributed across multiple nodes, then system reliability is improved, but storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidstorage requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain creates verified copies of property information blocks and distributes them across multiple nodes. Each node stores identical copies of the blockchain data, ensuring system reliability through redundancy. The copying mechanism includes cryptographic verification to ensure data integrity across all distributed copies without requiring additional unique storage at each node.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a blockchain-based approach for managing repair of physical property items. Any full node computing device in a network, including a physical property management computing platform, may register a physical property item onto a blockchain associated with the physical property item. The computing platform may further register one or more users onto this blockchain so that the registered users can use the physical property item. As one or more users use the physical property item, the computing platform may receive real-time usage information and may notify the owner of the physical property item when the item needs to be repaired or replaced. The computing platform may then execute an event based on a response to this notification.
