Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional fraud mitigation systems are inefficient and costly, leading to potential loss of sensitive data and resources due to ineffective verification of correspondence authenticity, and lack of proactive fraud detection and deterrence.

Innovation Solution

A correspondence fraud mitigation system using AI-based models to analyze correspondence content features, determine fraud patterns, and generate deterrence recommendations, reducing the burden on computing resources and enhancing network security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional fraud mitigation techniques require users to contact enterprise personnel for verification, then users can obtain verification of correspondence authenticity, but the process becomes inefficient and costly with wasted technological resources

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification of correspondence authenticityVSAvoidtime for verification process

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary fraud pattern detection and analysis on correspondence before it reaches the user, automatically classifying it as fraudulent or authentic. This preliminary action eliminates the need for subsequent manual verification by users, resolving the contradiction by providing both reliable verification and time efficiency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables users to receive automated fraud detection results directly without needing to contact enterprise personnel. The correspondence is self-verified through automated AI analysis that detects fraud patterns and provides classification, making the verification process self-service rather than requiring external intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If conventional fraud mitigation systems use manual verification processes, then users can receive personalized verification, but the system becomes complex and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidverification system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated AI-based correspondence analysis. The AI model automatically detects fraud patterns, extracts features from correspondence, and classifies authenticity without human intervention, reducing system complexity while maintaining or improving verification accuracy through consistent algorithmic application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The AI-based correspondence analysis system acts as an intermediary between the user and enterprise personnel. It automatically performs the verification function that previously required direct human interaction, simplifying the overall system architecture by eliminating the need for complex human-in-the-loop verification processes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If enterprises provide no fraud detection system, then computing resources are conserved, but users face high risk of fraud-related losses

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefraud risk to usersVSAvoidcomputing resources

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial fraud detection by analyzing only key features and patterns in correspondence rather than exhaustive manual review of all correspondence. The AI model selectively detects fraud patterns and classifies only suspicious correspondence, providing adequate fraud protection while consuming reasonable computing resources without over-processing all communications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for mitigating correspondence fraud. An example method includes receiving candidate correspondence associated with a user and extracting one or more correspondence content data features from the candidate correspondence. The example method further includes determining, based on the one or more correspondence content data features, a set of fraud patterns associated with the candidate correspondence and determining, based on the set of fraud patterns, a fraud classification for the candidate correspondence. The example method further includes generating, based on the fraud classification, a first set of fraud deterrence recommendations and providing the first set of fraud deterrence recommendations to one or more computing devices.
