Solution Overview

Problem

Existing blockchain systems face challenges such as scalability issues, security vulnerabilities, inefficiency, costly consensus mechanisms, and inability to comply with international data privacy laws, while also being susceptible to chain poisoning, which renders the entire blockchain unlawful and irreversible.

Innovation Solution

A transaction platform utilizing a notary distributed ledger or blockchain and separate micro-identifier chains (MIDCs) that enable secure transaction recording and data storage while maintaining confidentiality and preventing chain poisoning. This platform employs a partitioned RAFT replication protocol for increased transaction throughput and uses AI/machine learning for biometric security and compliance with data privacy laws.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional blockchain systems store multiple transactions in a single block, then transaction throughput increases, but security vulnerabilities and susceptibility to chain poisoning increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransaction throughputVSAvoidsecurity against chain poisoning

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the blockchain into multiple separate chains (main chain and side chains), where each side chain stores individual transactions separately. This segmentation prevents a single poisoned transaction from compromising the entire blockchain system, as each side chain is isolated and can be independently validated and removed if poisoned.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a main chain that acts as an intermediary and coordinator between multiple side chains. The main chain stores only transaction hashes and metadata, while side chains store actual transaction data. This intermediary structure allows high throughput via multiple side chains while maintaining security through centralized validation on the main chain.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If blockchain immutability is maintained to prevent tampering, then data integrity is preserved, but ability to comply with data privacy laws (deletion rights) is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveblockchain immutabilityVSAvoidcompliance with data privacy laws

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the blockchain into a permanent main chain and removable side chains. The main chain maintains immutability for security, while side chains can be selectively removed to comply with data deletion requests. This segmentation allows simultaneous maintenance of immutability where needed and adaptability where required by law.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts personal identifiable information (PII) from the immutable main chain and stores it in separate side chains. When data deletion is required, only the side chain containing the specific transaction is removed, while the immutable main chain remains intact. This extraction enables compliance with data privacy laws without compromising overall blockchain immutability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If consensus mechanisms are strengthened to ensure security, then reliability improves, but transaction speed and efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconsensus securityVSAvoidtransaction processing speed

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the consensus process across multiple independent side chains rather than requiring all nodes to validate every transaction on a single chain. Each side chain can process transactions in parallel with its own lightweight consensus mechanism, while the main chain performs periodic batch validation. This segmentation dramatically increases transaction throughput while maintaining security through distributed validation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

4Quantity of substance

If blockchain stores all transaction data centrally for verification, then data completeness is ensured, but scalability and transaction throughput are limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransaction data completenessVSAvoidtransaction throughput

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a single-dimension blockchain structure to a multi-dimensional architecture with a main chain and multiple side chains. This dimensional expansion allows transaction data to be distributed across multiple parallel chains, increasing the system's capacity to handle transactions while maintaining verifiability through the main chain's coordination role.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
