Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-cheating systems for POI information are ineffective against group-oriented underground gangs, as they focus on single-user and single-account strategies, allowing cheating accounts to be easily replaced, necessitating a method to determine relationships between multiple accounts.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that determine identity-related information from historical upload data, create an account relationship matrix, and calculate importance degrees using a probability transition matrix, enabling the identification of key cheating accounts within a group.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If single-user and single-account anti-cheating strategies are used, then the anti-cheating system is simple to implement, but it is ineffective against group-oriented cheating gangs that can easily switch accounts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanti-cheating effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple account analyses into a unified framework by constructing an account relationship matrix that integrates identity-related information from multiple accounts. This allows the system to detect group cheating patterns by analyzing relationships between accounts rather than treating each account independently, thereby improving anti-cheating effectiveness against organized cheating gangs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from single-account analysis to multi-account relationship analysis by introducing an account relationship matrix as an additional dimension. This matrix captures relationships between accounts based on identity features, enabling the system to detect cheating patterns that span multiple accounts and identify key cheating accounts within groups.

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

2Measurement precision

If multi-account relationship analysis is implemented, then group cheating detection effectiveness is improved, but the computational complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecheating account identification accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex multi-account analysis into distinct computational steps: extracting identity-related information from historical upload data, constructing the account relationship matrix based on identity features, calculating importance degrees for each account, and identifying key cheating accounts. This segmentation reduces processing complexity by breaking down the overall task into manageable stages with clear inputs and outputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by focusing computational resources on identifying key cheating accounts within the group rather than treating all accounts equally. By calculating importance degrees for each account based on their relationships and behaviors, the system prioritizes analysis of accounts that are most likely to be involved in cheating, thereby improving identification accuracy while reducing overall computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
