Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic automated decisioning workflows that can be reconfigured in real-time based on detected anomalies and simulated performance metrics. The system transitions from static detection rules to dynamic, adaptive workflows that respond to changing threat patterns, thereby improving both detection accuracy and real-time response capability simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary simulation and evaluation of new decisioning routes before deploying them to production. By pre-testing workflows in a virtual environment using historical and real-time data, the system ensures high detection accuracy is achieved without compromising real-time response, as only pre-validated routes are activated.

Inventive Principle:

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional fraud detection systems are used, then basic threat detection is provided, but the ability to detect and respond to new threats is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where detection outcomes, anomaly patterns, and performance metrics are fed back into the workflow reconfiguration process. This automated feedback mechanism enables the system to automatically evolve and adapt to new threats by learning from past detection results and adjusting decisioning routes accordingly, enhancing both adaptability and automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-configuration and self-optimization of detection workflows without requiring manual intervention for each new threat pattern. The automated decisioning system independently evaluates performance metrics, identifies anomalies, and reconfigures routes to address emerging threats, thereby achieving high adaptability through full automation rather than reducing it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical configuration processes with automated computational systems that use machine learning and simulation to optimize detection workflows. This substitution enables rapid response to new threats while maintaining or improving detection precision through algorithmic optimization rather than human judgment, achieving both speed and accuracy simultaneously.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts decisioning parameters, thresholds, and route configurations based on real-time performance metrics and detected anomalies. By automatically changing these parameters in response to evolving threat patterns, the system maintains high detection precision while achieving rapid response times, eliminating the trade-off between manual precision and automated speed.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static automated workflows into dynamic, self-adapting systems that automatically reconfigure based on performance metrics and detected anomalies. The decisioning routes are no longer fixed but can be dynamically adjusted through automated simulation and evaluation processes, enabling the system to maintain high automation levels while simultaneously achieving adaptability to new and evolving threats.
