Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional blockchain management systems are limited in their ability to edit blocks and maintain quorum approver listings, leading to inefficiencies and security challenges in transaction validation.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a computing platform that enables dynamic asset adjustment, cross-sectional editing, and bonding of new approvers by generating sub-threads within the blockchain, allowing for flexible quorum approval mechanisms and dynamic changes in approver databases based on blockchain events.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional blockchain management systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the ability to edit blocks and maintain quorum approver listings is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to edit blocks and maintain quorum approver listingsVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the blockchain into parent blocks and child blocks, allowing independent editing of specific sections. The quorum approver listing is segmented into dynamic groups that can be assigned to different blocks, enabling selective approval processes without requiring system-wide complexity changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic quorum approver assignments where approvers can be dynamically assigned to different blocks based on the specific editing requirements. The quorum threshold and approver lists can be dynamically adjusted for different blocks, providing adaptability without requiring a completely dynamic system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If static approver databases are used, then the database structure is simple, but the ability to dynamically change based on blockchain events is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to dynamically change based on blockchain eventsVSAvoiddatabase structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent pre-establishes quorum approver groups and assigns them to specific blocks or block types before events occur. When a blockchain event requires approval, the system retrieves the pre-assigned quorum approvers for that specific block, enabling dynamic response without requiring real-time database restructuring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a quorum approver assignment mechanism that acts as an intermediary between the blockchain events and the approver database. This intermediary layer maps events to pre-configured quorum groups, allowing dynamic adaptation to events while maintaining a relatively static database structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If one-to-one relationships between parent and child blocks are used, then the relationship structure is simple, but the ability to generate sub-threads and perform cross-sectional editing is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to generate sub-threads and perform cross-sectional editingVSAvoidrelationship structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the blockchain hierarchy into parent blocks, child blocks, and sub-threads. Each child block can have multiple sub-threads that are independently editable, allowing cross-sectional editing at different levels of the hierarchy without requiring complex reconfiguration of the entire relationship structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a dimensional layer to the parent-child block relationship by introducing sub-threads as a third dimension. This allows editing and creation of sub-threads within child blocks, enabling cross-sectional operations without fundamentally changing the vertical parent-child relationship structure.

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

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing systems for performing cross-sectional asset editing. A computing platform may receive permission to perform a first subset of event processing steps. The computing platform may delegate permission to an external event processor to perform a second subset of event processing steps and to an external resource management platform to perform a third subset of event processing steps. The computing platform may generate an element chain corresponding to the account. In response to receiving a request to process an event, the computing platform may add a sub-element to the element chain containing a fixed parameter corresponding to an expected value associated with the event and a variable parameter corresponding to an actual value associated with the event. In response to receiving a request to write the actual value to the element chain, the computing platform may modify the variable parameter of the sub-element accordingly.
