Solution Overview

Problem

Current virtual computing environment protocols fail to provide real-time or near real-time updates to virtual computing environment services and products with new and changing rules and regulations applicable to physical world services and products.

Innovation Solution

A distributed regulatory tanglegraph consortium system processes rules and regulations using importance values and tanglegraphs, generating blocks for virtual computing environment services, assigning unique keys, and transmitting these blocks to corresponding devices for implementation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current virtual computing environment protocols are used, then virtual services can be programmed according to physical world rules, but real-time updates of new rules and regulations cannot be implemented

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to update rules and regulationsVSAvoidtime delay in rule updates
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms static rule sets into dynamic, continuously updating structures through blockchain technology. Rules and regulations are converted into smart contracts that can be automatically updated and distributed across the network in real-time, allowing the virtual computing environment to adapt to changing physical world regulations without manual reconfiguration or time delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a regulatory tanglegraph consortium system as an intermediary layer between physical world regulations and virtual computing environment services. This intermediary automatically captures, validates, and transmits rule changes from the physical world to the virtual environment through blockchain-based smart contracts, eliminating the time delay inherent in traditional update mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If rules are processed using importance values and tanglegraphs, then real-time rule updates can be achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of rule implementationVSAvoidcomplexity of processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the rule processing functionality into distinct modular components: rule capture modules, importance value assignment modules, tanglegraph construction modules, and smart contract generation modules. Each module performs a specific function and can be independently developed, maintained, and scaled, reducing overall system complexity while enabling real-time rule implementation through parallel processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The regulatory tanglegraph consortium system implements self-service mechanisms where nodes automatically validate incoming rules, assign importance values based on predefined criteria, construct tanglegraphs, and generate smart contracts without requiring centralized coordination. This autonomous operation reduces the complexity of manual system management while maintaining high-speed rule implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a distributed regulatory tanglegraph consortium system for executing processes in a virtual computing environment. A computing platform may receive a rule from a rulemaking body. The computing platform may parse the rule to identify a virtual computing environment service and/or virtual computing environment product that the rule may affect. The computing platform may separate the rules into groups, wherein each group may correspond to a different virtual computing environment service and/or virtual computing environment product. If the computing platform determines the rule may be non-essential to virtual computing environment transactions, the computing platform might not process the rule. If the computing platform determines the rule may be essential to virtual computing environment transactions, the computing platform may transmit the rules to a device associated with the virtual computing environment service and/or virtual computing environment product that the rule may affect.
