Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If standard ownership verification processes are used, then cryptographic security is maintained, but the process becomes complex and difficult for non-technical users to implement

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecryptographic securityVSAvoiduser implementation difficulty

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a blockchain shell system as an intermediary layer between users and the blockchain network. This shell handles all cryptographic operations, blockchain interactions, and verification processes automatically, allowing users to verify NFT ownership through simple device scanning without needing to understand or execute cryptographic algorithms themselves

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The blockchain shell system performs self-service by automatically managing cryptographic key pairs, executing verification algorithms, and interacting with the blockchain on behalf of users. The system autonomously handles the complex computational tasks while providing a simplified user interface, eliminating the need for users to manually implement cryptographic protocols

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If cryptographic algorithms are executed for verification, then ownership can be confirmed, but computational resources are consumed and specialized hardware/software is required

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveownership confirmationVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain shell acts as an intermediary that centralizes computational resources on server infrastructure rather than requiring each user device to execute cryptographic algorithms. The shell system performs the computationally intensive verification operations on its servers, dramatically reducing the energy and computational resource consumption on end-user devices while maintaining cryptographic security

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical execution of cryptographic algorithms on user devices with a remote computational system. Instead of requiring local execution of complex cryptographic functions, the system substitutes this with remote verification through the blockchain shell, reducing local computational demands to minimal levels while maintaining verification integrity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If direct blockchain interaction is required, then verification accuracy is maintained, but the process becomes logistically burdensome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidverification time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The blockchain shell system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing connections to the blockchain, pre-loading verification data, and preparing the verification environment in advance. When a verification request occurs, the system has already positioned all necessary resources and data, allowing rapid execution of the verification process without requiring users to manually access the blockchain or perform preparatory steps

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
