Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional transaction security solutions are complex and prone to future security breaches, and existing blockchain technologies are limited in securing non-financial content transactions and content sharing between users, lacking scalability and flexibility.

Innovation Solution

A virtualized blockchain forest with multiple individual blockchains, a consensus pool, and a blockchain forest height, allowing for secure content sharing and transactions by aggregating and terminating individual blockchains, and implementing a method for establishing a blockchain lifecycle with observer and broker nodes to monitor and manage blockchain status and actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional transaction security solutions are used, then transaction security is provided, but the system complexity becomes extremely complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction securityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the blockchain system into multiple individual blockchains organized in a forest structure, where each blockchain handles specific transactions or content types. This segmentation allows the system to maintain security through cryptographic hashing while reducing overall complexity by dividing the transaction security function across multiple independent chains rather than one monolithic system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If existing blockchain technology is used for financial transactions, then currency exchange security is achieved, but the system lacks adaptability for non-financial content transactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurrency exchange securityVSAvoidcontent sharing capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal blockchain forest system that can handle multiple types of transactions beyond just financial exchanges. The virtualized blockchain forest provides a multi-functional platform that supports currency transactions, non-financial content transactions, and content sharing between users, all through the same cryptographic security infrastructure.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically creates and terminates individual blockchains based on transaction needs. The virtualization layer allows blockchains to be instantiated, aggregated, and terminated dynamically, enabling the system to adapt to different transaction types and content sharing scenarios rather than being static and limited to predefined financial operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of operation

If a single blockchain is used, then transaction verification is simplified, but the system lacks scalability for multiple content types and users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction verificationVSAvoidsystem scalability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a single-dimensional blockchain to a multi-dimensional blockchain forest structure. Individual blockchains operate in one dimension handling specific transactions, while the virtualization layer adds another dimension for aggregation and management. This dimensional expansion enables the system to scale across multiple content types and users while maintaining verification simplicity through the hierarchical structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A virtualized blockchain forest includes a plurality of individual blockchains. Each individual blockchain of the plurality includes a blockchain height, a genesis block, and at least one additional block. The virtualized blockchain forest further includes a plurality of participating processors that make up a consensus pool, and a blockchain forest height having a time-sequenced start-to-finish length of blocks among the collective plurality of individual blockchains. The virtualized blockchain forest is configured to aggregate different ones of the plurality of individual blockchains, and is further configured to terminate individual ones of plurality of individual blockchains.
