Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems face inefficiencies in processing and updating data for multiple exchanges due to the need to store records and terms for individual exchanges in a single database, leading to high memory and processing demands, and lack of customization options for users.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system that routes exchanges to different containers based on characteristics and attributes, using configuration parameters and control structures, allowing for separate storage and processing of exchanges in sub-ledgers, reducing the need for individual query and update of each exchange.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If exchanges are stored in a single database with individual records, then data storage is simplified, but processing power and memory requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedatabase structureVSAvoidprocessing power
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single database into multiple sub-ledgers, each dedicated to storing exchanges for specific containers. This segmentation allows the system to process and query exchanges in smaller, more manageable portions rather than searching through a monolithic database, thereby reducing processing power requirements while maintaining data organization benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If a single database is used for all exchanges, then storage is consolidated, but querying and processing individual exchanges becomes inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage consolidationVSAvoidexchange processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the database into multiple sub-ledgers organized by container, the system maintains data consolidation benefits while enabling efficient querying. Exchanges can be quickly located and processed by querying only the relevant sub-ledger rather than scanning through an entire database, significantly improving processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces containers as intermediary structures between the database and exchange records. Each container acts as a mediator that organizes exchanges into manageable groups, allowing the system to process exchanges more efficiently by working with container-level data structures rather than individual scattered records.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple sets of parameters are used for different containers, then exchange handling customization is enabled, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexchange handling customizationVSAvoidparameter management structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the parameter management structure by organizing parameters within individual container objects. Each container has its own associated parameters, making the system more adaptable and customizable for different exchange types while keeping the overall structure manageable through modular organization rather than a monolithic parameter system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
