Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If blockchain-encoded records are used to secure data transmission, then data security and trustworthiness are improved, but system complexity and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a digital twin environment as an intermediary layer between physical objects and the blockchain ledger. This mediator handles complex blockchain operations (encoding, decoding, verification) without requiring every connected device to directly implement full blockchain functionality, thus improving data security while managing system complexity through centralized mediation of cryptographic operations.
2Measurement precision
If AI processing is performed in real-time for object tracking, then tracking accuracy and responsiveness are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and structures data during the observation phase before AI analysis is required. Sensors continuously collect and organize environment signaling data in advance, maintaining it in ready-to-analyze formats. This preliminary data preparation reduces the computational burden during real-time tracking, improving both accuracy and response time by having processed data readily available when AI analysis is triggered.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple computing entities are interconnected to enhance system capabilities, then system versatility and functionality are improved, but security vulnerabilities and data transmission inefficiencies increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interconnected system into isolated computing entities, each with its own digital twin and localized data processing capabilities. This segmentation allows versatile interconnection for enhanced functionality while containing security vulnerabilities within individual segments. Each entity independently verifies data through its own digital twin before interacting with others, preventing cascading security failures across the network.
