Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack the capability to ensure secure and enforceable transfer of cryptographic data segments, particularly in transactions involving anonymous parties or unknown jurisdictions, leading to difficulties in dispute resolution and token ownership.

Innovation Solution

A system incorporating a dispute resolver (DR), token with integrated dispute resolution (T-IDR), and a gatekeeper application (gatekeeper app) on a distributed ledger, utilizing autonomous programs and cryptographic data structures to facilitate secure, enforceable transfers and dispute resolution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional token transfer systems are used, then token transfers can be executed, but dispute resolution becomes difficult and unenforceable

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedispute resolution capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges token transfer functionality with dispute resolution mechanisms into a single integrated system. The autonomous program combines token transfer operations with built-in dispute resolution capabilities, allowing both functions to operate within the same framework rather than requiring separate conventional systems.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The autonomous program acts as an intermediary between token transfer and dispute resolution functions. It mediates between the token transfer operation and the dispute resolution mechanism, enabling seamless integration where the autonomous program can enforce dispute resolutions by controlling token transfers through the register mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If anonymous parties are involved in token transactions, then transaction privacy is maintained, but enforcement of token ownership decisions becomes problematic

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveownership decision enforceabilityVSAvoidtransaction anonymity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The autonomous program enables self-service dispute resolution where the system automatically enforces ownership decisions based on cryptographically verifiable claims. The register mechanism automatically prevents transfers when disputes are detected, eliminating the need for external intervention or manual enforcement while maintaining the anonymity of the parties involved.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If traditional dispute resolution systems are used for token transactions, then legal frameworks can be applied, but cost and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedispute resolution effectivenessVSAvoidcost-effectiveness

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/legal dispute resolution systems with an automated cryptographic system. The autonomous program uses cryptographic verification and automated register management to resolve disputes, substituting the need for costly legal frameworks with programmatically enforceable decisions based on cryptographic proofs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Reliability

If token transfers are made without integrated dispute resolution, then transfer speed is maintained, but security and enforceability are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransfer securityVSAvoidtransfer speed

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The autonomous program performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing dispute resolution mechanisms and cryptographic verification protocols before token transfers occur. The register is pre-configured to automatically respond to dispute claims, allowing rapid transfer execution while maintaining security through pre-built enforcement capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A non-transitory, processor-readable medium stores instructions to cause a processor to receive an address of an autonomous program and an identifier of a cryptographic data segment. The instructions further cause the processor to generate, based on the address of the autonomous program and the identifier of the cryptographic data segment, a first serialized message configured to call an interrupt function defined by the autonomous program to cause the identifier of the cryptographic data segment to be included in a register. The processor further generates, based on an address of a second user, a second serialized message configured to call a release function defined by the autonomous program to cause removal of the identifier of the cryptographic data segment from the register. In response to generating the second serialized message, the processor generates a third serialized message configured to cause the cryptographic data segment to be possessed by the second user.
