Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital transaction systems face challenges in securely and efficiently managing online transactions, particularly in verifying identities, timestamps, and computation results, which can lead to disputes and fraudulent activities, making it difficult to authenticate digital evidence in legal proceedings.
Innovation Solution
A blockchain-based trusted platform that provides services by obtaining verified timestamps, identities, and computation results, and records these on a blockchain, enabling secure and immutable documentation of transactions, notices, legal documents, and dispute resolutions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If digital networks are used to enable convenient information sharing and transactions, then ease of operation and productivity are improved, but the risk of fraudulent activities and disputes increases, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based trusted platform as an intermediary between users and the documentation system. This platform includes a trusted timing module that issues verified timestamps, a trusted identity module that verifies user identities, and a trusted computing module that performs computations. These intermediary components mediate the digital transaction process, providing independent verification mechanisms that enhance reliability while maintaining the convenience of digital operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining verified timestamps, verified identities, and computation results from trusted modules before the actual documentation is created or transactions are finalized. By performing these verification actions in advance and recording them on the blockchain, the system ensures that the foundational elements of trust are established before disputes can arise, thereby enhancing reliability without compromising operational convenience.
2Reliability
If verified timestamps, identities, and computation results are obtained from trusted modules and recorded on blockchain, then reliability and measurement precision are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the trusted platform into three distinct functional modules: a trusted timing module for generating verified timestamps, a trusted identity module for verifying identities, and a trusted computing module for performing computations. Each module operates independently and contributes a specific verification function. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high reliability through multiple specialized verification mechanisms while managing complexity by dividing the overall system into manageable, functionally distinct components.
3Measurement precision
If multiple verification steps are performed for each service step, then measurement precision and reliability are improved, but productivity and ease of operation decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple verification functions (timestamp verification, identity verification, and computation verification) into a single integrated blockchain-based trusted platform. Instead of performing separate verification processes that would slow down service delivery, the system combines all verification steps into one unified platform that operates seamlessly in the background. The trusted modules work concurrently to provide comprehensive verification, ensuring measurement precision while maintaining productivity by avoiding sequential bottlenecks.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for enabling paperless documentation. One method includes identifying one or more electronic forms to be filled out and submitted. At each step of a plurality of steps: generating a unique identifier (ID) based on a time that the step is performed and digital content on the electronic form at the time; recording the unique ID, the time, and the digital content on the blockchain; embedding the unique ID in the digital content at the time by changing one or more attributes associated with the digital content to be representative of the unique ID, where the embedding produces information-embedded digital content that enables retrieval of the time and the digital content from the blockchain based on the unique ID; and recording the information-embedded digital content to the blockchain.
