Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If blockchain technology is applied in decentralized manner, then data security and reliability are improved, but system controllability and monitoring capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a monitoring node as an intermediary component that observes and tracks blockchain transactions and block formations without disrupting the decentralized consensus mechanism. This mediator enables centralized monitoring capabilities while preserving the distributed ledger's security properties, resolving the contradiction between decentralization and controllability
2Stability of the object's composition
If blockchain nodes operate independently without central coordination, then system robustness is improved, but ability to predict and respond to branch occurrences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the monitoring node continuously observes block formation patterns, transaction validation processes, and chain state changes across the network. By collecting and analyzing this feedback data, the system can predict potential branch occurrences and alert participants, maintaining network robustness while enabling proactive response to fork events
3Adaptability or versatility
If block position changes occur due to branching, then blockchain adaptability is improved, but transaction confirmation reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent calculates and provides advance information about the reliability of transaction confirmations before branches occur. By estimating the probability of block position changes based on current chain depth and network state, the system allows users to take preliminary actions (such as waiting for additional confirmations or adjusting transaction priorities) to maintain reliability despite the inherent adaptability of blockchain fork handling
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is a method comprising acquiring information on a branch formed on blockchain data, calculating a difference in a block height between a target block corresponding to a current block height of the blockchain data and a block in a non-branched state based on the information on the branch and calculating a transaction confirmation reliability of transaction data recorded in the target block based on the difference in the block height, wherein the transaction confirmation reliability indicates a probability that, for as k blocks are further connected after the target block, a position of the block at which the transaction data is recorded will not change, wherein k is an integer greater than zero.
