Solution Overview

Problem

Financial transaction disputes are resource-intensive and prone to human error due to inconsistent application and interpretation of complex payment network rules and regulations, leading to inconsistent resolutions.

Innovation Solution

An AI-driven dispute resolution system that utilizes machine learning models trained on historical dispute resolutions, payment network rules, and government regulations to automate and standardize the dispute resolution process, reducing human intervention and improving consistency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If human personnel manually resolve disputes, then flexibility in handling complex cases is maintained, but resource consumption increases and consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistency of dispute resolutionVSAvoidresource efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an AI intermediary system that mediates between dispute inputs and resolution outputs, applying rules consistently without human variability. The AI agent serves as a mediator that processes disputes through standardized procedures while maintaining reliability across all cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical human decision-making system with an automated AI-based system that applies rules and regulations consistently. This substitution eliminates human error and inconsistency while improving resource efficiency through automation.

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

2Productivity

If AI automation is implemented, then resource efficiency improves and consistency is enhanced, but complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the dispute resolution system into modular components including AI agents, rule engines, and data processing modules. This segmentation allows the complex system to be managed through independent, interchangeable units that can be developed and maintained separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal AI agent framework that can handle multiple types of disputes across different domains. The system is designed to be multi-functional, accommodating various rule sets and regulation types within a single platform, thereby managing complexity through versatility.

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

3Reliability

If more personnel are deployed to resolve disputes, then resolution thoroughness improves, but operational cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresolution thoroughnessVSAvoidpersonnel quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service dispute resolution system where the AI agents autonomously process disputes without requiring human personnel for each case. The system serves itself by automatically applying rules, making decisions, and generating resolutions, thereby maintaining thoroughness while eliminating the need for extensive personnel deployment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
