Solution Overview

Problem

The lack of a reliable system for recording and tracking the life cycle events of transportation devices like bicycles and electric kickboards, which are prone to theft and lack certification, hinders their global trading and maintenance, necessitating a method to ensure authorized information sharing and certification.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based service server that creates and manages tokens for transportation devices, enabling secure recording of events like manufacturing, distribution, and ownership changes, while incentivizing participants through cryptocurrency rewards, ensuring transparent pricing and reliable tracking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If blockchain technology is applied to track transportation devices, then reliability of recording is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of recordingVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses blockchain as a distributed copy of the ledger, where multiple nodes store identical copies of transaction data. This eliminates the need for a single complex centralized system while improving reliability through redundancy and immutability of recorded data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces smart contracts as intermediary programs that automatically execute transactions and manage device tracking. These intermediaries handle the complexity of verification and recording, allowing the system to achieve high reliability without requiring complex manual processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If certification system is established for transportation devices, then reliability of information is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of informationVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through automated smart contracts that automatically verify device information, execute transactions, and update records without requiring manual intervention. This maintains high reliability of certified information while simplifying user operations to simple token transfers and interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the state of device information from unverified to verified by transitioning data onto the blockchain. This parameter change (from unverified to verified status) automatically establishes reliability without requiring ongoing manual certification processes, making the system both reliable and easy to operate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If token transfer mechanism is implemented, then ease of trading is improved, but loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of tradingVSAvoidloss of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where each token transfer is recorded on the blockchain with immutable feedback about the transaction status, device information, and ownership changes. This ensures that no information is lost during trading, while the automated nature of the process maintains ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing smart contracts and token mappings before trading occurs. These pre-configured systems automatically handle information verification and transfer, preventing information loss during the trading process while maintaining simplicity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A service server providing a tracking service for a transportation device based on a blockchain network system is provided. The service server includes a memory and a processor. The processor receives an information disclosure request for trading, distribution, or repair of the transportation device from a first terminal of an entity holding a token specifying the transportation device or a second terminal of an organization performing trading, distribution, or repair of the transportation device as a proxy; discloses information on the transportation device to a platform providing the service based on the information disclosure request; receives, from a third terminal of an entity purchasing the transportation device, transmission information on currency at a price corresponding to the token; and transmits the token to a node managed by the third terminal and transferring the currency to an account managed by the first terminal based on verification of the transmission information.
