Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional resource transfer authentication methods are used, then the system is simpler to implement, but security and prevention of unauthorized transactions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction securityVSAvoidauthentication mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a distributed register as an intermediary system that stores secure tokens and historical data. This intermediary enables authentication and authorization without requiring complex direct verification between all parties, thus improving security while managing complexity through a centralized data structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary authentication by verifying secure tokens against historical data in the distributed register before allowing resource transfers. This preliminary action prevents unauthorized transactions by establishing trust beforehand, improving reliability without adding complexity to the main transfer process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If comprehensive authentication and authorization processes are implemented, then transaction security improves, but processing time and efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthorization accuracyVSAvoidtransaction processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual or mechanical authentication processes with automated verification of secure tokens against historical data in the distributed register. This substitution enables fast, accurate authorization without human intervention, improving reliability while minimizing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service authentication by automatically verifying secure tokens and comparing them with historical data without requiring external intervention. This self-service mechanism enables rapid authorization decisions, improving both accuracy and speed of transaction processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If machine learning algorithms are used for request validation, then detection of unauthorized transactions improves, but system complexity and computational resources deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunauthorized transaction detectionVSAvoidvalidation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The distributed register serves as an intermediary that stores historical data in a structured format, making it accessible to machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition. This intermediary organization of data enables effective unauthorized transaction detection without requiring complex real-time analysis, managing computational complexity through pre-organized data storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system is provided for processing mobile resource transfers using secure tokens on a distributed register. In particular, each mobile device may be associated with a unique, immutable data identifier that may be stored within the distributed register. Resource transfers initiated by the mobile device may be authenticated by the resource transfer servers using the secure token associated with the mobile device along with the resource transfer data or metadata transmitted by the mobile device. Based on the historical data associated with the mobile device in conjunction with the secure token and resource transfer data and metadata, the resource transfer server may initiate an authorization process on the resource transfer requested by the mobile device. In this way, the system provides a secure way to process mobile resource transfers.
