Solution Overview

Problem

The resource needs of a population are not predicted efficiently due to a lack of current and historical transactional information, leading to extended delivery times, potential waste, and adverse effects, especially for perishable resources like medication.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based resource management system that uses predictive analytics and AI/ML to accurately forecast future resource requirements by analyzing historical and real-time data, optimizing resource allocation, and providing notifications, thereby creating a transparent and efficient transactional environment for all parties involved.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional resource prediction methods are used without blockchain and AI/ML, then the system is simpler, but prediction accuracy and resource allocation efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments resource management into multiple blockchain networks, each dedicated to specific resource types (e.g., food, medication). This segmentation allows for specialized prediction models and data structures for each resource category, improving prediction accuracy while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces blockchain as an intermediary layer between resource producers and consumers. This intermediary provides a transparent, immutable ledger that stores historical transactional information, enabling accurate AI/ML predictions while maintaining system simplicity through standardized interfaces and protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If historical transactional information is not collected and stored, then data storage requirements are reduced, but prediction capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoiddata storage volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential transactional information needed for prediction purposes and stores it on the blockchain. By selecting and storing only relevant data points (resource quantities, timestamps, locations, conditions), the system maintains comprehensive information availability while minimizing storage requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw transactional data into standardized parameters and features suitable for AI/ML models. By converting diverse transactional information into structured parameters (e.g., resource demand patterns, supply chain metrics), the system maximizes information utility while reducing storage burden through efficient data representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If resource allocation is based on incorrect predictions, then delivery time is reduced, but resource waste and market instability increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation accuracyVSAvoiddelivery time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary resource allocation based on AI/ML predictions of future resource requirements. By analyzing historical blockchain data and predicting future demand, the system proactively allocates and prepositions resources before actual demand occurs, ensuring both high allocation accuracy and timely delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuous feedback loops where actual resource consumption and delivery outcomes are recorded on the blockchain and fed back into the AI/ML prediction models. This feedback mechanism continuously improves prediction accuracy and allocation reliability while optimizing delivery times through learned patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
