Solution Overview

Problem

Current electricity service systems lack efficient mechanisms for real-time matching and transaction facilitation between providing parties and receiving parties, particularly in terms of ecological footprint considerations, leading to inefficiencies in energy markets and increased costs for consumers.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that collect and process electricity provision and request parameters, including ecological footprints, to determine matches between providing parties and receiving parties, utilizing decentralized networks for transaction processing and facilitation, enabling real-time electricity exchange and optimization of renewable energy usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If real-time matching and transaction facilitation mechanisms are implemented, then energy market efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy market efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an electricity services system as an intermediary platform that collects provision parameters from providing parties and request parameters from receiving parties, then facilitates matching and transaction processing. This mediator approach enables real-time matching without requiring direct complex interactions between all market participants, thereby improving efficiency while managing system complexity through centralized coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The electricity services system performs multiple functions including collecting parameters, determining matches, processing transactions, and facilitating exchanges across different market participants. By creating a universal platform that handles various electricity service types (generation, storage, consumption) through a single system, the patent improves overall market efficiency without proportionally increasing complexity in each individual component.

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

2Reliability

If decentralized networks are used for transaction processing, then security and traceability are improved, but transaction processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity and traceabilityVSAvoidtransaction processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system collects and validates electricity provision parameters and request parameters in advance before transaction execution. By performing preliminary data collection, validation, and matching determination before the actual transaction processing on the decentralized network, the system reduces the time required for blockchain confirmation and execution, while still maintaining the security and traceability benefits of decentralized processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The electricity services system operates continuously to collect parameters, determine matches, and facilitate transactions in real-time. This continuous operation ensures that transactions are processed without interruption once initiated, minimizing delays while the decentralized network maintains security through its inherent distributed consensus mechanisms that operate continuously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Adaptability or versatility

If ecological footprint parameters are collected and considered, then renewable energy adoption is promoted, but data collection complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverenewable energy adoptionVSAvoiddata collection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The electricity services system collects ecological footprint parameters as part of its universal parameter collection function for all electricity services. By integrating ecological data collection into the existing framework for collecting provision and request parameters, the system promotes renewable energy adoption through ecological footprint consideration without requiring separate complex data collection systems, thereby managing data collection complexity through a unified approach.

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

AI summary

Embodiments of a method and/or system for facilitating electricity services can include collecting a set of electricity provision parameters from one or more providing parties, collecting a set of electricity request parameters from a receiving party, determining a services match between the providing party and the receiving party based on the set of electricity provision parameters and the set of electricity request parameters, processing an electricity services transaction based on the services match between the providing party and the receiving party, and/or dynamically facilitating electricity services between the providing party and the receiving party based on the electricity services transaction.
