Solution Overview

Problem

Current computerized systems using ledger-type data archives are inflexible and difficult to access, primarily designed for linear value chains, and are not suitable for distributed environments with multiple players, making them hard to operate in compliance with regulations and industrial practices.

Innovation Solution

A computerized platform that allows interaction with ledger-type data archives through a two-structure system, where one structure communicates with external devices and the other with the data archive, enabling data writing and acquisition in a standardized format, decoupling user application tools from the archive's technology and ensuring user identity validation and data format compliance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If computerized systems directly interface with ledger-type data archives, then data integrity and verification are ensured, but system flexibility and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoidsystem accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary platform comprising a first computerized structure and a second computerized structure that mediates between external devices and the data archive. This intermediary layer handles communication protocols, data formatting, and validation, allowing systems to interact with the archive without directly coupling to its specific technology, thereby maintaining data integrity while improving accessibility and flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is divided into distinct functional modules: the first computerized structure handles external communication and user interaction, while the second computerized structure manages archive-specific protocols and data operations. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, improving ease of operation without compromising the reliability of the overall system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of manufacture

If computerized systems are designed for linear value chains, then operational simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to distributed environments deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational simplicityVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The platform is designed with universal interfaces and standardized data formats that can accommodate both linear and distributed value chain configurations. The first computerized structure provides a unified entry point for various application environments, while the second structure adapts to different archive technologies, enabling the system to function effectively across diverse operational contexts without requiring separate specialized systems.

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

3Measurement precision

If direct interaction with data archive is implemented, then data verification capability is maintained, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata verification capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The intermediary platform encapsulates the complexity of direct archive interaction within the second computerized structure, which handles protocol translation, data validation, and verification operations. This allows the first computerized structure to maintain simplified interfaces with external devices while the intermediary layer preserves data verification capabilities through automated validation routines and standardized communication protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
