Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face challenges in securely sharing user information across devices with different configurations, leading to impaired collaboration between entities due to technical issues such as operating system differences, compatibility requirements, and handshake methods, while maintaining confidentiality and compliance with regulations.

Innovation Solution

A computing platform using distributed ledger technology to store and manage user information, enabling secure communication channels and implementing machine learning models to detect permission violations, ensuring authorized access and real-time information sharing among entities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If user information is stored in a centralized database, then access control and security management is simplified, but system reliability and data availability deteriorate due to single point of failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess control managementVSAvoidsystem reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the centralized database into a distributed ledger with multiple nodes, segmenting the data storage system. Each node maintains a copy of the ledger, eliminating the single point of failure while preserving access control capabilities through permission-based retrieval mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a computing platform as an intermediary between users and the distributed ledger. This platform manages access control, permission verification, and secure communication, simplifying the interaction model while maintaining the reliability benefits of distributed storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If devices from different entities with different configurations communicate directly, then communication efficiency is improved, but compatibility issues and security risks worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoidcompatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a computing platform as a mediator that receives data from users, stores it on the distributed ledger, and facilitates secure communication between devices. This intermediary handles compatibility issues and security protocols, allowing efficient communication between devices with different configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal communication framework where the computing platform can handle various device types and configurations through standardized interfaces. The platform provides multi-functional capabilities including data storage, access control, secure channel establishment, and communication routing.

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

3Productivity

If user information is shared freely among entities, then collaboration efficiency is improved, but information security and confidentiality worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaboration efficiencyVSAvoidinformation security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local quality control by assigning specific permission levels and access rights to different users and entities. The distributed ledger stores user information with associated metadata that defines who can access what, enabling selective sharing that maintains both collaboration efficiency and information security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the computing platform continuously monitors access requests against stored permissions. When permission violations are detected, the system provides feedback by blocking access and notifying relevant parties, creating a closed-loop security system that maintains confidentiality while allowing authorized collaboration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
