Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for checking the authenticity of goods and services fail to effectively limit access to information based on user access rights, leading to unnecessary exposure of sensitive data to users with varying levels of authorization, such as prime cost information being visible to tax agents but not necessary for buyers.

Innovation Solution

The method generates user access parameters matched with specific rights, divides the integrated database into areas corresponding to these rights, and uses user identification codes to grant access only to relevant information, employing blockchain technology for tamper-proof recording and encryption for secure user authorization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all information in the integrated database is made accessible to all users, then transparency and information availability are improved, but security and data protection deteriorate due to unauthorized access to sensitive information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoidunauthorized access
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated database is segmented into multiple areas with different access rights. Each area contains specific types of information that can be accessed by users with corresponding authorization levels. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive information availability while protecting sensitive data through structured access control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If user access rights are strictly limited to prevent unauthorized access, then security is improved, but information transparency and accessibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata protectionVSAvoidinformation transparency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The integrated database serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a public transparency platform for verifying product authenticity while also serving as a secure repository for sensitive commercial information. The same database structure supports both open access for basic verification and restricted access for confidential data, making the system universally applicable to different user needs.

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

3Reliability

If comprehensive tracking information is recorded at all life cycle stages, then authenticity verification is improved, but system complexity and data management burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity verificationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tracking system segments information recording into discrete stages of the product life cycle, with each stage having specific data collection requirements. This segmentation allows the system to maintain comprehensive tracking for authenticity verification while managing complexity through structured, stage-specific data management rather than requiring all data to be collected and processed simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

This invention relates to methods for checking the authenticity of goods or services, in which a life cycle is divided into stages, a new unique tracking code is generated, and each such tracking code is associated with information in an integrated database of all of the goods and services. According to the invention, a list of user access parameters is generated, and the integrated database is divided into areas corresponding to different user access parameters, to each of which users having defined access rights have access. For each user, a user identification code corresponding to said user's access parameter is generated. For transfer of data into the integrated database, the user identification code is checked. In the event of correspondence, the user is allowed access. The technical result which is achieved is that of providing the possibility of limiting access to an integrated database of all of the goods and services for users having various access rights.
