Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic currency transaction systems lack secure and user-friendly solutions for managing electronic currencies and smart contracts, necessitating improved security, reliability, and automation while reducing the need for trusted intermediaries and minimizing fraud and accidental exceptions.

Innovation Solution

A secure wallet service providing unit that integrates electronic currency wallets and smart contracts, allowing for secure management and execution of transactions through separate or distributed servers, utilizing smart contract execution units, control units, and authentication keys to enhance security and automation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If electronic currency transactions are implemented in automated systems, then transaction efficiency and productivity are improved, but security risks and vulnerability to fraud increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction efficiencyVSAvoidtransaction security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a secure wallet service providing unit as an intermediary component that mediates between the automated transaction system and the electronic currency wallets. This secure element hosts the wallet application and private keys, acting as a trusted intermediary that enables automated transactions while maintaining security. The secure wallet service providing unit verifies transaction authenticity and manages cryptographic operations, thus resolving the contradiction between automation efficiency and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If smart contracts are executed automatically without intermediaries, then reliance on trusted intermediaries is reduced, but security vulnerabilities and potential for errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation capabilityVSAvoidtransaction security
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transaction system into distinct functional components: the smart contract execution environment, the secure wallet service providing unit, and the electronic currency transaction system. By separating the wallet functionality into a dedicated secure element that hosts the wallet application and private keys, the system enables automated smart contract execution while maintaining security through architectural segmentation. This allows automatic operation without traditional intermediaries while preserving security through the secure element boundary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If electronic currency wallets are integrated directly into transaction systems, then ease of operation is improved, but security risks from system vulnerabilities increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem vulnerability exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The secure wallet service providing unit serves as a protective intermediary layer between the user's electronic currency wallet and the external transaction system. This secure element hosts the wallet application and manages private keys without exposing them to the broader system, thereby maintaining ease of operation through automated interfaces while protecting against system vulnerabilities. The intermediary secure element acts as a security boundary that enables convenient operation without direct exposure to system risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
