Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If human intervention is used in resource allocation, then flexibility and adaptability are improved, but fairness and transparency deteriorate due to forged allocations
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through smart contracts that automatically execute resource allocation based on pre-defined rules and service data. The blockchain network autonomously verifies and processes allocation requests without human intervention, ensuring both flexibility through programmable logic and fairness through transparent, immutable execution. Targets actively compete for resources by improving their service data, which is automatically evaluated by the smart contract.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual human intervention (mechanical system) with automated blockchain-based smart contract execution. The mechanical process of human decision-making is substituted with cryptographic verification and automated contract execution, eliminating forged allocations while maintaining adaptability through programmable resource allocation schemes that can respond to changing conditions.
2Reliability
If decentralization is implemented, then fairness is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The smart contract serves multiple functions within the blockchain system: it stores resource allocation schemes, verifies service data authenticity, automatically executes allocation decisions, and maintains allocation records. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate centralized management systems, achieving fairness through decentralization while managing complexity through consolidation of functions into a single programmable entity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages complexity by dynamically adjusting parameters such as resource allocation thresholds, service data requirements, and allocation schemes based on changing conditions. The smart contract can modify allocation parameters without requiring system redesign, allowing the decentralized system to adapt to different scenarios while maintaining fairness through transparent parameter changes that are recorded on the blockchain.
3Extent of automation
If smart contract automation is used, then human intervention is reduced, but automation extent increases which may reduce adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The smart contract implements dynamic resource allocation by continuously monitoring service data changes and automatically adjusting allocation decisions in real-time. The system transitions from static pre-defined allocations to dynamic adaptive allocations, where the automation level adjusts based on service data quality. Targets can influence allocation outcomes by improving their service data, maintaining flexibility within the automated framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where allocation results and service data are continuously recorded on the blockchain and used to inform future allocation decisions. The smart contract receives feedback from the network about service performance and automatically adjusts resource allocation accordingly, maintaining high automation while preserving adaptability through data-driven decision-making that responds to actual system conditions.

AI summary
The present specification discloses blockchain-based information processing methods, apparatus, and devices. The blockchain-based information processing method includes: obtaining tree-structured data describing target relationships from a blockchain; obtaining service data of a ith-level target in the tree-structured data describing target relationships from the blockchain, where i is a positive integer; and executing a smart contract used for resource allocation, to allocate resources to each ith-level target based on a resource allocation scheme that is in the smart contract and that corresponds to the service data of each of the one or more ith-level targets.
