Multipath Blockchain Device-Specific Transaction Chains
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing size of blockchain databases leads to substantial computational resources being required for updates and verification operations, resulting in latency delays and increased processing and memory overhead, with not all entries being necessary for verification operations.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a Multipath blockchain approach that allows each electronic device to have two paths for data verification, using two path hashes to create a device-specific transaction chain, reducing the need to consider other devices' transactions and enabling efficient data management by separating each device's records into their own chain, thereby minimizing computational overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If blockchain database size increases to record more transactions, then transaction history completeness is improved, but computational resources required for updates and verification operations increase substantially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the blockchain verification process by creating device-specific transaction chains that allow each electronic device to verify only its own transactions independently. This segmentation divides the monolithic verification process into multiple independent verification paths, reducing the computational burden on each device while maintaining complete transaction history in the overall blockchain.
2Reliability
If all blockchain entries are processed for verification operations, then verification completeness is improved, but processing time and memory overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates each device's transactions from the global blockchain into device-specific transaction chains. This extraction allows verification operations to focus only on relevant device-specific entries rather than processing all blockchain entries, maintaining verification completeness for each device while significantly reducing processing time and memory overhead.
3Stability of the object's composition
If traditional blockchain verification processes all transactions, then network-wide consistency is improved, but individual device verification efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new dimensional approach by creating multiple independent verification paths (device-specific chains) alongside the traditional single blockchain chain. This multi-dimensional structure allows each device to verify transactions independently along its own path while the overall network maintains consistency through the shared blockchain structure, thereby improving individual verification efficiency without sacrificing network-wide consistency.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention provides a Multipath blockchain capability to verify blockchain data integrity based on transactions linked to entities that may be device-based or otherwise. Based on an entity's needs, in one embodiment, the Multipath blockchain capability enables the entity reading a block linked to the entity to directly point to only that entity's transactions. The entity's pointer to each path type may be associated with each data record. In an embodiment, each entity's transaction is a separate unit; not bundled with other entity's transactions. Each of these transactions or blocks may be linked to that entity's previous block. In effect, this allows each entity's transaction to point back to that entity's previous transaction to verify its truthfulness and allows separation of each of these entity's records into their own chain or subtree, thereby decoupling entity specific records form the entire blockchain, providing for improved security, and a decreased read and write times, and reduction in overall computational overhead associated with blockchain interactions.
