Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional risk management systems are inadequate in providing real-time, comprehensive risk assessments and immutable records of risk decisions due to increasing complexity and volume of information in global market environments, leading to insufficient visibility and management of enterprise risk positions.

Innovation Solution

A token-based risk management exchange platform utilizing blockchain technology to quantify and represent total risk values as tokens, allowing segments to manage and trade risk through transactions recorded in an immutable ledger, providing real-time visibility and a proof-of-trust model for risk management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional risk management systems are used, then basic risk assessment functions are provided, but real-time comprehensive risk visibility and immutable record-keeping are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk assessment accuracyVSAvoidreal-time risk information visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional centralized risk management systems with a blockchain-based distributed ledger system. This substitution enables immutable recording of risk decisions, real-time visibility across the enterprise, and enhanced reliability through cryptographic verification, directly addressing the information loss and visibility shortcomings of traditional systems.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces risk tokens as an intermediary mechanism that quantifies and represents risk exposure. These tokens serve as a mediator between risk events and financial impact, enabling precise tracking, allocation, and management of risk positions in real-time, thereby improving both reliability and information visibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If conventional risk management systems are used, then basic risk tracking is provided, but efficient buying and selling of risk is not enabled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk management efficiencyVSAvoidrisk trading capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms risk from an abstract concept into a quantifiable asset by assigning token values to risk events. This parameter change enables risk to be bought, sold, and traded like financial instruments, dramatically improving operational efficiency and ease of risk management through market-based mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The risk tokens serve multiple functions simultaneously: they represent risk exposure, enable trading, provide accounting records, and facilitate risk transfer. This multi-functionality consolidates multiple risk management operations into a single unified system, enhancing both productivity and ease of operation.

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

3Loss of information

If detailed risk tracking is implemented, then comprehensive risk information is captured, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk decision record completenessVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the enterprise into distinct units that can independently hold and manage risk tokens. This segmentation, combined with the distributed ledger technology, allows comprehensive risk tracking to be achieved through modular, scalable architecture rather than a monolithic complex system, as each segment operates semi-independently while contributing to the whole.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Techniques and apparatus for providing peer-based management of user accounts are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory and logic coupled to the at least one memory. The logic may be configured to determine a total entity risk value representing a risk position of an entity comprising at least one segment, generate a plurality of risk tokens, each of the plurality of risk tokens having a token value that is a portion of the total risk value, determine a total segment risk value for the at least one segment, the total segment risk value representing a portion of the total entity risk value allocated to the at least one segment, and distribute the plurality of risk tokens to the at least one segment of the entity to correspond with the total segment risk value. Other embodiments are described.
