Solution Overview

Problem

Current resource allocation methods in network communications lack transparency, security, and efficiency, particularly in decentralized systems, as they rely on centralized databases that are vulnerable to tampering and do not effectively incentivize user engagement based on service behavior.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based resource allocation method utilizing a smart contract that transfers resources to users based on their service behavior data, verified by a consensus mechanism, ensuring secure and transparent resource allocation and recording on a decentralized blockchain network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If centralized databases are used for resource allocation, then resource allocation can be performed efficiently, but the system becomes vulnerable to tampering and lacks transparency

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized database into a distributed blockchain network where data is stored across multiple nodes. Each node maintains a copy of the ledger, eliminating the single point of failure and enabling transparent verification while maintaining security through decentralization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces smart contracts as intermediary automated programs that mediate resource allocation transactions. These self-executing contracts encode allocation rules and automatically enforce them, providing transparent and tamper-proof resource distribution without requiring trusted centralized intermediaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If traditional resource allocation methods are used, then implementation is simple, but user engagement and activeness are not effectively incentivized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser activenessVSAvoidallocation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where users receive real-time updates and rewards based on their service behavior data recorded on the blockchain. The system continuously monitors user actions, evaluates them against predefined criteria, and automatically provides incentives, creating a closed-loop system that actively encourages user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables users to autonomously manage their own resource allocations and incentives through the smart contract system. Users can define their own service behavior metrics, set reward parameters, and automatically distribute resources based on recorded data, eliminating the need for manual intervention and simplifying the allocation mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If centralized control is used for resource allocation, then allocation speed is fast, but transparency and trustworthiness are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetransparencyVSAvoidallocation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal blockchain platform that serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a transparent ledger for recording all transactions, an automated execution engine for smart contracts, a distributed verification system through consensus mechanisms, and a secure storage solution. This multi-functional system maintains transparency while achieving efficient allocation through parallel processing across the network.

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

4Reliability

If blockchain consensus verification is implemented, then data security and transparency are improved, but system complexity and execution time increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-validating and caching data before it needs to be used in transactions. Service behavior data is recorded and verified in advance on the blockchain, so when resource allocation occurs, the verification process is already complete or can be quickly referenced, significantly reducing real-time verification delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs dynamic consensus mechanisms that can adjust their verification intensity based on the specific transaction type and network conditions. For resource allocation transactions involving pre-verified service behavior data, the consensus process can be streamlined, dynamically optimizing the balance between security verification and execution speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

One or more implementations of the present specification provide a blockchain- based resource allocation method and apparatus, applied to a blockchain network that includes a target user client and a first node device. The method includes: obtaining, by the first node device, a target transaction from a distributed database of a blockchain, where the target transaction includes service behavior data of a target user, and the service behavior data of the target user is generated by the target user client by using a target service; and invoking a smart contract corresponding to resource allocation, and executing resource allocation logic that is declared in the smart contract and that is related to the service behavior data of the target user, to transfer a resource to the target user.
