Distributed Ledger Data Transmission Delay Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operations in distributed ledger systems to update and verify blockchain copies consume substantial time and energy, leading to potential incorrect transmissions of data records, which can result in errors in transactions between entities.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that sets a delay time for transmitting data records to the distributed ledger system based on determined items of information, allowing for the prevention of incorrect transmissions by receiving a second signal before the delay has elapsed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If immediate transmission of data records to the distributed ledger system is performed, then transaction speed and productivity are improved, but the risk of incorrect transmissions and energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of the data record's authenticity and integrity status before initiating transmission to the distributed ledger system. This preliminary action ensures that only verified records are transmitted, preventing incorrect data from being added to the blockchain while maintaining efficient transaction processing.
2Reliability
If verification and authentication processes are performed before transmission, then data accuracy and reliability are improved, but time consumption and processing duration increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system utilizes cryptographic hash values as lightweight, disposable verification markers that can be quickly computed and checked. These hash values serve as immediate authenticity indicators without requiring complex, time-consuming verification processes, thus maintaining fast transaction speeds while ensuring data integrity.
3Reliability
If multiple verification checks are implemented, then transmission accuracy is improved, but energy consumption and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and verifies only the critical authenticity indicator (cryptographic hash value) from the data record before transmission, rather than performing multiple comprehensive verification checks. This extraction approach maintains transmission accuracy by focusing on the most important verification element while significantly reducing energy consumption and computational overhead.

AI summary
An incorrect transmission, of a record of data to a distributed ledger system, can be prevented. A first signal can be received. The first signal can include a first instruction to cause the record to be transmitted to the system. One or more items of information in the record can be determined. A delay of time to be elapsed, before a transmission of the record to the system, can be set in response to a receipt of the first signal and a determination of the one or more items. The transmission of the record to the system can be caused to occur after the delay has elapsed. The transmission of the record to the system can be prevented in response to a receipt of a second signal before the delay has elapsed. The second signal can include a second instruction that supersedes the first instruction.
