1Productivity

If reinforcement learning algorithms are applied to blockchain performance optimization, then blockchain network performance can be improved, but parameter tuning lags due to long training time and delayed feedback cycles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblockchain network performanceVSAvoidparameter tuning lag
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the reinforcement learning algorithm offline to establish an initial policy before deploying it to the live blockchain network. This pre-training phase allows the algorithm to learn from historical data and common scenarios in advance, so that when deployed, it can quickly adapt to new conditions without requiring lengthy online training periods that would cause parameter tuning lag.

2Reliability

If blockchain technology is combined with industrial data management, then data reliability and transparency are improved, but data processing latency increases due to performance bottlenecks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing latency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by implementing dynamic parameter adjustment mechanisms where the blockchain network parameters (such as block size, block interval, and consensus parameters) are continuously optimized based on real-time network conditions and transaction loads. The reinforcement learning algorithm dynamically tunes these parameters to balance data reliability guarantees with processing speed, allowing the system to adapt its performance characteristics rather than operating with fixed parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying blockchain configuration parameters (block size, block interval, gas limits, consensus parameters) to optimize performance. The reinforcement learning algorithm learns the optimal parameter combinations for different network states and transaction patterns, dynamically adjusting these parameters to minimize processing latency while maintaining data reliability and security requirements.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing differential processing strategies for different types of monitoring data. Normal monitoring data are processed using efficient batch processing or compressed storage methods, while abnormal data are identified and routed to priority processing channels. This allows the system to handle large volumes of normal data without compromising the rapid processing of critical abnormal data that require immediate attention.
