Solution Overview

Problem

Existing blockchain systems lack effective methods to validate tokens that have not been electronically countersigned by an authorized signatory, which can compromise security and integrity in token transfers.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that queries a peer-to-peer distributed ledger and a title registry database to verify the authenticity of tokens by tracing a logical path of transactions and checking for authorized signatures, ensuring the validity of token transfers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If blockchain validation only checks basic transaction scripts without tracing transaction histories, then validation speed is faster, but security and integrity of token transfers are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity and integrity of token transfersVSAvoidvalidation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation by checking whether a token has been previously authenticated through authorized transactions before processing new transfer requests. This preliminary check prevents unauthorized transactions from entering the system, ensuring security without requiring full history tracing for every validation operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary validation mechanism that acts as a mediator between the transaction requester and the blockchain ledger. This intermediary layer checks authentication status and manages the validation process, separating the security check function from the basic transaction validation, thereby improving both security and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system queries both peer-to-peer distributed ledger and title registry database for token validation, then authentication accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The validation system is segmented into two independent components: a peer-to-peer distributed ledger for basic transaction recording and a title registry database for authentication tracking. Each component handles specific validation tasks, allowing the system to achieve high authentication accuracy through combined queries while managing complexity through functional separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The title registry database serves multiple functions: it tracks authenticated transactions, validates token ownership, and maintains authentication history. This multi-functionality consolidates several validation operations into a single database system, reducing overall system complexity while improving authentication accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

There is provided a computer-implemented method of maintaining, by a first party, a title registry database for recording transfers of tokens issued by an issuer. Each token is associated with a quantity of cryptocurrency. The method comprises monitoring a blockchain for blockchain transactions comprising transfers of tokens issued by the issuer; and, responsive to determining a first blockchain transaction comprising a transfer of a token issued by the issuer recorded in the blockchain, recording the transfer of the token in the title registry database.
