Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in efficiently and securely processing network requests, particularly resource transfer requests, due to increased load on cellular networks, leading to processing delays and timeouts.
Innovation Solution
A distributed register-based peer-to-peer (P2P) network system that assesses connection strengths among computing devices, designates gateway devices, and uses a distributed register for secure processing of network requests, while adapting to changes in network configuration through self-organizing and self-correcting mechanisms.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a centralized system processes network requests through cellular networks, then resource transfer requests can be processed, but processing delays and timeouts occur due to increased load
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the centralized processing system into multiple peer-to-peer nodes that can independently process requests. Each node maintains a distributed ledger and can validate transactions locally, eliminating the single-point bottleneck of centralized cellular network processing and enabling parallel request handling across the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional approach by creating an overlay P2P network layer that operates independently of the traditional cellular network infrastructure. This allows requests to be routed through multiple hops across the P2P network, utilizing spatial distribution of nodes rather than relying solely on centralized cellular towers, thereby reducing congestion and delay.
2Reliability
If gateway devices are designated based on network connection strength, then service interruptions are minimized, but network configuration changes require dynamic reassessment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous feedback mechanisms where nodes periodically assess network conditions, connection strengths, and request queues. This feedback loop enables dynamic gateway reselection when network configurations change, ensuring that the most capable nodes handle requests while maintaining service continuity. The system automatically detects and adapts to topology changes without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the gateway designation dynamic rather than static. Gateway nodes are selected based on real-time metrics including connection strength, processing capacity, and network position. When network configurations change, the system dynamically reassesses and reassigns gateway roles to appropriate nodes, ensuring optimal performance and adaptability to changing network conditions.
3Productivity
If a distributed register is used across multiple devices, then processing capacity increases, but network security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements distributed ledger technology where each node maintains a copy of the entire transaction history and state. This copying mechanism enables parallel processing across multiple nodes while maintaining data integrity through cryptographic verification. Each node independently validates transactions against its local copy of the ledger, providing both increased processing capacity and enhanced security through distributed verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates cryptographic proof-of-work or similar consensus mechanisms that require computational effort before transactions are validated and added to the distributed ledger. This beforehand cushioning in the form of cryptographic verification creates a security buffer that prevents malicious actors from easily compromising the network, while the distributed nature of the ledger provides redundancy and resilience against attacks.

AI summary
A system is provided for processing of resource transfers using a distributed register based peer to peer network. In particular, the system may comprise a peer to peer (“P2P”) mesh network comprising a plurality of computing devices forming a shared communication channel with one another. The system may identify the network connection strengths of each of the plurality of wireless computing devices and subsequently designate one or more devices as the hub(s) of the P2P network. The devices within the P2P network may host an encrypted distributed register for storing and processing network requests. In this regard, devices may submit network requests for processing resource transfers to the distributed register to be executed by the one or more hubs of the P2P network. Once all of the devices leave the P2P network, the distributed register is securely erased.
