Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital currencies face adoption hurdles due to monolithic blockchains causing transaction delays, high energy consumption for proof of work, and inability to handle confidential information, along with inadequate communication platforms for automating smart wallet transactions across device types and communication modes.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for digital smart wallet communications that manages separately-owned, private blockchains to reduce processing times, eliminate proof of work burdens, and ensure immutable security while allowing confidential information protection, integrated with an interoperable communications platform for seamless device communication and automated transactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a monolithic blockchain is used to ensure security and immutability, then transaction security is improved, but transaction processing time increases and becomes unusable for everyday purposes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the monolithic blockchain into multiple separate blockchains, each managed by different entities (e.g., banks, financial institutions). This segmentation allows parallel processing of transactions across multiple chains simultaneously, reducing overall processing time while maintaining security through cryptographic hashing and chain linkage mechanisms that ensure immutability across the distributed system.
2Reliability
If proof of work is used to validate transactions, then transaction validation security is improved, but energy consumption increases to enormous levels comparable to a mid-sized country
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the computationally intensive proof of work validation mechanism from the transaction processing system. Instead of requiring energy-intensive cryptographic puzzles for every transaction validation, the system uses a different consensus approach where validators are selected based on stake or institutional authorization, dramatically reducing energy consumption while maintaining validation security through cryptographic signatures and multi-signature requirements.
3Reliability
If the blockchain is open to public view to ensure transparency and security, then system transparency is improved, but ability to handle confidential information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements different levels of visibility and access control across different blockchains and data types. Sensitive transactions (e.g., personal financial information) are confined to private or permissioned blockchains with restricted access, while aggregated anonymized data can be visible on public chains for transparency. This local quality approach allows each blockchain to have appropriate transparency levels based on the nature of the information it handles, protecting confidential information while maintaining system-wide transparency where appropriate.

AI summary
A system and method for digital smart wallet communications that operates by managing separately-owned, private blockchains to reduce processing times, eliminate proof of work burdens, and retain blockchain immutable security while allowing protection of confidential information contained on each blockchain. The system and method may further comprise auditability of blockchains, and may be operated on an integrated communications platform that allows seamless interoperability of communication devices across multiple modes of communication, and automates digital smart wallet transactions.
