Solution Overview

Problem

Current resource pool tracking, processing, and storage technologies require significant processing capacity and memory, and are inefficient in reducing processing times, necessitating improved methods to optimize resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A virtual resource control and distribution system that utilizes virtual resource pools coupled to authentic resource pools, reducing processing capacity and memory requirements by centralizing processing and storage in a single authentic resource pool, allowing entities to self-serve virtual resource pool setup and maintenance through interfaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple authentic resource pools are used to manage resources, then resource distribution flexibility is improved, but processing capacity requirements and memory requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource distribution flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing capacity requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the resource pool system into two segments: virtual resource pools (for flexibility and user interaction) and authentic resource pools (for actual resource management). This segmentation allows the system to maintain resource distribution flexibility through multiple virtual pools while reducing processing complexity by consolidating actual resource management into fewer authentic pools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces virtual resource pools as intermediary layers between users and authentic resource pools. These virtual pools act as mediators that handle resource allocation logic and user interactions, while the authentic pools simply store and manage the actual resources. This intermediary layer reduces the processing burden on the authentic pools while maintaining distribution flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple authentic resource pools are used to track and process resources, then resource management granularity is improved, but memory requirements and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management granularityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments resource management functions between virtual pools (handling allocation decisions and tracking) and authentic pools (handling actual resource storage and distribution). This segmentation enables fine-grained resource management through virtual pools while reducing processing time by minimizing the number of authentic pools that need to be accessed and updated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates virtual copies of resource pools that mirror the structure and allocation logic of authentic pools without duplicating the actual resource data. These virtual copies enable detailed resource tracking and management at the virtual level while the authentic pools maintain a simplified structure for efficient processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple authentic resource pools are used for resource distribution, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but the number of processing steps increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the resource pool system into virtual pools (for allocation flexibility) and authentic pools (for efficient resource management). This allows the system to maintain allocation flexibility through multiple virtual pools while reducing the number of processing steps by consolidating authentic pool operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Virtual resource pools serve as intermediaries that handle resource allocation logic, validation, and user interactions. This intermediary layer absorbs most processing steps, allowing the authentic pools to perform simpler operations and reducing the overall processing capacity requirements of the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A virtual resource control and distribution system is provided that utilizes virtual resource pools coupled to authentic resource pools in order to reduce processing capacity requirements, memory requirements, and processing time. In particular, a reduced number of authentic resource pools are used, such as one single authentic resource pool, that is coupled to virtual resource pools. The virtual resource pools may be utilized to enter into interactions. However, when interactions are entered, the virtual resource pools may be adjusted based on the resources associated with the interaction without actually having any resources associated with the virtual resource pools. As such, the virtual resource pools may illustrate a change in virtual resources in the virtual resource pool, but the authentic resource pool to which the virtual resource pool is associated, will be utilized for distributing the resources and processing the interactions.
