Solution Overview

Problem

Blockchain systems face instability in wireless networks, leading to unreliable message transmission and potential blockchain division due to unstable radio wave environments, which affects the integrity and consistency of distributed ledger management.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and method that generates redundant data through encoding and broadcasts or multicasts this data across a distributed network, ensuring stable communication and error correction even in unstable wireless environments, using encoding units to create redundant data and communication units to transmit it across multiple devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If blockchain messages are transmitted over wireless networks, then communication flexibility and mobility are improved, but transmission stability and reliability deteriorate due to unstable radio wave environments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication flexibilityVSAvoidtransmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The transmitting device performs encoding to generate redundant data before transmission. This preliminary action ensures that even if the original data is lost during unstable wireless transmission, the receiving device can restore the data using the redundant information, thereby maintaining transmission reliability while preserving wireless communication flexibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The invention prepares redundant data in advance as a cushion against potential data loss in unstable wireless environments. This redundant data acts as a protective buffer that prevents blockchain division caused by message transmission failures, allowing the system to maintain reliability without sacrificing the adaptability of wireless communication

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

2Reliability

If redundant data is generated and transmitted to ensure data integrity, then transmission reliability is improved, but communication overhead and data volume increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The encoding process transforms the original data into a different form (redundant data) with different parameters. The redundant data has the same information content but different representation, allowing efficient transmission that balances data integrity requirements with communication overhead through parameter optimization in the encoding scheme

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If broadcast or multicast transmission is used for blockchain messages, then system efficiency and synchronization are improved, but transmission stability deteriorates in wireless environments with radio wave instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem efficiencyVSAvoidtransmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Encoding to generate redundant data is performed before broadcast or multicast transmission. This preliminary encoding ensures that when efficient broadcast/multicast transmission occurs in unstable wireless environments, any lost or corrupted messages can be recovered using the redundant data, maintaining both system efficiency and transmission stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
