Solution Overview

Problem

Current blockchain systems face limitations in scalability and privacy, particularly in maintaining an immutable record of transactions across multiple networks, and there is a need for efficient inter-blockchain transactions without central control.

Innovation Solution

The Social Data Tracking Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods, and Systems (SDTD) facilitate user-owned data management through a tree structure on blockchain nodes, enabling access control, inter-blockchain transactions, and agency oversight, using public key pairs, cryptographic hash functions, and digital signatures to validate transactions and ensure secure data exchange between different blockchain networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If blockchain systems maintain immutable transaction records across multiple networks, then reliability is improved, but scalability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction record integrityVSAvoidtransaction processing capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the blockchain system into multiple independent blockchain networks, each capable of processing transactions autonomously. This allows parallel processing across networks, improving scalability while maintaining the immutability and integrity of records on each individual chain through cryptographic hashing and consensus mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer that enables cross-blockchain transactions without compromising the immutability of individual chains. This intermediary facilitates secure data exchange and transaction validation between networks, allowing high-volume processing while preserving the reliability guarantees of each blockchain through cryptographic proof mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If blockchain systems enable inter-blockchain transactions, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-network transaction capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universal transaction structures and cryptographic protocols that function across multiple blockchain networks with different consensus mechanisms and data models. This multi-functionality enables cross-blockchain transactions without requiring complex network-specific adapters, as the core transaction framework remains consistent across networks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes in cryptographic hash functions and digital signature schemes to adapt transactions across different blockchain networks. By adjusting cryptographic parameters rather than fundamental transaction structures, the system achieves cross-network compatibility while maintaining relatively simple device architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If blockchain systems preserve privacy, then loss of information is reduced, but ease of operation worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata privacy protectionVSAvoiddata access control
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by implementing fine-grained access control that grants different levels of data visibility to different participants. Sensitive transaction details remain private to relevant parties only, while public metadata is visible to all network participants. This selective information disclosure preserves privacy for confidential data while maintaining operational ease through transparent transaction tracking for authorized users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The Social Data Tracking Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SDTD”) transforms brokerage order request, blockchain transaction request, agency action request inputs via SDTD components into brokerage order confirmation, transaction confirmation, agency action notification outputs. An order of a user for an order processing entity is obtained. A blockchain data node, which facilitates access to user-owned read data, associated with the order is determined. A blockchain identifier of the blockchain data node and a blockchain identifier of the order processing entity is provided to an access control node and the user-owned read data is obtained. The order is executed using the user-owned read data. A write access blockchain node, which grants the order processing entity permission from the user to create one or more blockchain data nodes, is determined. A new blockchain data node is created that facilitates access to the user-owned write data associated with the executed order.
