Random Element Distribution via Series Module Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for distributing random elements to multiple modules often result in correlation between module outputs due to shared random inputs, lacking a reliable mechanism to ensure each module receives unique random elements, which is critical for security and operational independence.
Innovation Solution
A series connection method where each module controls the passing of random elements, ensuring they are used only once, with a control unit determining whether to pass or not, and a true random element generator providing non-deterministic randomness, eliminating central control and ensuring uncorrelated outputs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single source of random elements is shared among multiple modules, then device complexity is reduced, but output correlation occurs between modules
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the random element distribution by giving each module its own dedicated random element source. This segmentation ensures that each module operates independently with unique random elements, eliminating output correlation while maintaining acceptable system complexity through modular architecture.
2Reliability
If each module has its own source of random elements, then output independence is ensured, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a universal random element source that serves multiple modules through dedicated distribution paths. This multi-functional approach allows a single source to fulfill the random element requirements of multiple modules independently, achieving output independence without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
3Productivity
If random elements are distributed to all modules, then operational readiness is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of the random element source, allowing it to be activated selectively for each module only when needed. This dynamic operation enables modules to achieve operational readiness on-demand while the power-consuming source remains inactive during idle periods, significantly reducing overall power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The random element source operates periodically rather than continuously, activating only when a module requires random elements. This periodic operation pattern ensures operational readiness is maintained when needed while minimizing power consumption during intervals when no module requires random elements.
