Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital asset exchanges face security breaches, money-laundering risks, and inefficiencies due to inadequate user identity verification and anti-money laundering protocols, as well as challenges in authenticating real-world identities and managing digital math-based assets like bitcoins.

Innovation Solution

A digital asset exchange system that provides user identity verification, anti-money laundering verification, and secure storage for both fiat and digital math-based assets, utilizing a decentralized electronic ledger system and multi-factor authentication to facilitate secure transactions and conversions between digital assets and fiat currencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user identity verification and anti-money laundering protocols are implemented, then security is improved, but transaction efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidtransaction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs identity verification, authentication, and compliance checks during account creation and before transactions are executed. By completing these security procedures in advance rather than during transaction processing, the system maintains both high security standards and efficient transaction execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The verification process is divided into separate stages: account creation verification, transaction authorization checks, and ongoing compliance monitoring. This segmentation allows security protocols to be applied at appropriate points without blocking the entire transaction flow, maintaining efficiency while ensuring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If decentralized electronic ledger system is used for secure storage, then reliability is improved, but device complexity worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure storageVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a centralized exchange platform as an intermediary that manages the decentralized ledger system. The exchange handles key generation, secure storage, and transaction coordination, shielding users from the complexity of blockchain technology while maintaining the security and reliability benefits of decentralized storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains copies of transaction records both in the decentralized electronic ledger and in centralized databases managed by the exchange. This redundancy ensures data integrity and security while simplifying access and management through the centralized interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
