Solution Overview

Problem

Existing blockchain technologies lack the ability to efficiently trace and map web resources and sources within transactions, leading to irreversible and unalterable data, and do not provide a systematic way to populate lost data points or create a three-dimensional mapping of web resource sources.

Innovation Solution

A blockchain-based source identifier system that utilizes digital replication technology, including a digital twin created by artificial intelligence, to trace and map web resources, create a schematic lineage, and populate lost data points, offering a three-dimensional view of web resource sources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If blockchain transactions are made irreversible and unalterable, then data security and integrity are improved, but the ability to trace and map web resources and sources is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidtraceability of web resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital twin of the blockchain that replicates the immutable ledger data. This copy allows for flexible tracing and mapping of web resources without altering the original blockchain's integrity. The digital twin serves as a separate analytical layer that can track provenance information while the main blockchain remains secure and unchangeable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer consisting of the digital twin and associated tracing infrastructure. This intermediary enables the connection between the immutable blockchain data and the dynamic web resource tracking, allowing information to flow between these two systems without compromising either the blockchain's security or the traceability requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional blockchain methods are used, then data immutability is maintained, but the complexity of tracing web resources increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblockchain immutabilityVSAvoidtracing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the tracing functionality from the core blockchain system by implementing it in the digital twin layer. This separation allows the blockchain to maintain its simple, immutable structure while the complex tracing and mapping operations are performed in the separate digital twin environment, reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimensional layer (the digital twin) above the traditional blockchain. This additional dimension provides the capability for complex tracing and mapping operations without modifying the original blockchain structure, effectively solving the complexity problem by operating in a higher-dimensional space.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Loss of information

If digital replication technology is implemented, then the ability to populate lost data points is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidreplication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by creating the digital twin before data loss occurs. The digital twin is pre-configured with the blockchain's structure and relationships, enabling it to proactively identify and populate lost data points through its tracing capabilities, rather than attempting to recover data after loss has occurred.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems for using a digital replication of a series transaction blockchain to identify web resource sources associated with a given transaction. Transactions may include web resources. The web resources may be sourced to web sources. The digital replication may enable tracing and mapping of web resources to their corresponding web sources. Using the digital mapping of web resource sources, a schematic lineage may be created of the web resource sources. The schematic lineage may be used to track web resources, populate lost data points and/or to create a three-dimensional view of the mapping.
