Solution Overview

Problem

Existing private networks face challenges in ensuring secure, standardized, and efficient information transfer due to diverse systems, varying security protocols, and non-standardized data storage, leading to integration difficulties, security vulnerabilities, and costly information recovery processes.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain network with a consensus mechanism of evidence of authority allows for the creation of restricted, anonymous transaction blocks that can only be decrypted and executed by nodes within a specific privacy group, using encryption privacy keys, enabling both privacy and anonymity while maintaining immutability through summary algorithms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If each participant develops its own system with different technologies and protocols, then each system can be customized to specific needs, but integration between systems becomes complex and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem customizationVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal blockchain protocol that can handle multiple types of transactions (public and private) through a single standardized interface. The blockchain network serves multiple functions: it acts as a public ledger for transparent transactions and as a private communication channel for restricted transactions, eliminating the need for separate integration systems for different transaction types.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain network acts as an intermediary layer between different participants' systems. Instead of systems directly integrating with each other, they all communicate through the standardized blockchain protocol, which mediates the interaction and handles the complexity of cross-system communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If different security protocols are implemented across systems, then each system can optimize its own security, but the overall network becomes more susceptible to compromise

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividual system securityVSAvoidnetwork security vulnerability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enforces homogeneous security standards across the entire blockchain network through standardized encryption and authentication protocols. All participants must use the same cryptographic algorithms and key management practices, ensuring that security levels are consistent throughout the network rather than varying between systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain implements pre-established security measures including cryptographic hashing, digital signatures, and consensus mechanisms that protect the network before attacks occur. The distributed nature of the blockchain provides redundancy and resilience against security breaches, cushioning the network against potential compromises.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

3Ease of manufacture

If data is stored in non-standardized manners across systems, then each system can optimize its own data structure, but repeated data reconciliations are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage flexibilityVSAvoidreconciliation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain enforces a standardized data structure for all transactions, requiring all participants to format their data according to the same schema. This homogenization eliminates the need for reconciliation, as all systems speak the same data language from the outset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #33Homogeneity

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain validates and standardizes data structures before transactions are committed to the ledger. This preliminary action ensures that all data is properly formatted and consistent before it becomes part of the permanent record, preventing future reconciliation needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Adaptability or versatility

If information is distributed across multiple independent systems, then system autonomy is maintained, but information recovery becomes costly and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem autonomyVSAvoidinformation recovery cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the distributed storage capabilities of multiple independent systems into a unified blockchain ledger. While participants maintain autonomy in how they access and use their data, the actual information is combined into a single distributed ledger that all participants share, enabling efficient recovery without requiring complex cross-system data aggregation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
