Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile devices lack effective tools to prevent impulse transactions and provide personalized resource management, leading to inefficient savings and security issues.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates contextual visual elements and implements double verification requirements to encourage users to save resources, by presenting personalized interfaces and alerts based on user goals, and locking device functionality temporarily to prevent impulsive transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If standard transaction interfaces are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but impulse transactions occur and savings goals are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction executionVSAvoidsavings goal achievement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary anti-action by presenting contextual visual elements showing goal progress and potential losses before the transaction is completed. This pre-transaction intervention counteracts the impulse to spend by visually demonstrating the impact on savings goals, thereby preventing harmful transactions before they occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by requiring double verification and presenting visual feedback before allowing resource transfer. The contextual visual elements are displayed in advance of the transaction completion, giving users time to reconsider and understand the consequences of their spending decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If double verification is implemented, then security is improved, but transaction time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount securityVSAvoidtransaction completion time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by obtaining the second verification code before the transaction is initiated. By requiring users to set up and input backup verification codes in advance, the system prepares the security mechanism beforehand, reducing the time penalty during actual transactions while maintaining enhanced security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If contextual visual elements are displayed for extended periods, then user awareness of savings goals is improved, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesavings goal awarenessVSAvoidtransaction processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies periodic action by displaying contextual visual elements for specific, limited durations during the transaction process. The visual feedback is presented periodically at key decision points rather than continuously, maintaining user awareness of savings goals while minimizing disruption to transaction processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

AI summary

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for providing a reallocation of resources contextual visual element and double verification requirement for resource distribution. In this way, the system identifies goals associated with a user and generated contextual visual elements associated with those goals. Based on a triggering event, the system displays the customized contextual visual element on a display of the user's device locking the functionality of the user device for a period of time the contextual visual element is displayed. Furthermore, the system may integrate and code a double verification requirement into resource distribution applications, requiring secondary authentication and additional verification for resource distribution.
