Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fraud detection systems require significant time and effort to create a unique fraud detection engine for each service, and utilizing a fraud detection engine from one service for another may not detect fraud effectively, leading to potential security breaches.

Innovation Solution

A fraud detection system that acquires and customizes a second fraud detection engine based on a first fraud detection engine, determines its detectability, and applies it to the second service when detectable, enhancing security while simplifying the creation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a unique fraud detection engine is created for each service, then the fraud detection accuracy is improved, but the creation time and effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoidcreation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training a fraud detection model using training data from multiple services before deployment. The model is pre-configured with fraud detection capabilities across different service types, so when deployed to a new service, it already possesses baseline detection skills without requiring time-consuming service-specific training from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by adjusting the fraud detection model's configuration parameters to match the characteristics of the target service. By modifying detection thresholds, feature weights, and validation rules based on service-specific parameters, the model adapts to different services while maintaining its core detection capabilities, thus avoiding complete retraining.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If a fraud detection engine from service X is utilized for service Y, then the creation effort is reduced, but the fraud detection capability may be insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreation effortVSAvoidfraud detection capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements universality by creating a fraud detection model with multi-functional capabilities that can serve multiple different services. The model is designed with generic fraud detection mechanisms that work across service boundaries, allowing one model to perform fraud detection for various service types (e.g., e-commerce, finance, social media) without requiring separate specialized models for each.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies feedback by implementing a validation mechanism that tests the fraud detection model against service-specific fraud cases before deployment. The model's performance is evaluated using service Y's fraud data, and adjustments are made based on this feedback to ensure the model achieves sufficient detection capability for the target service while still leveraging its pre-trained general capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If a fraud detection engine is customized for each service, then the detection precision is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by separating the fraud detection functionality into modular components: a core detection engine with general fraud detection capabilities, and service-specific configuration modules that contain service-related parameters and validation rules. This segmentation allows the core engine to remain simple and reusable, while customization is achieved through lightweight configuration files rather than complex code modifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A fraud detection system, comprising at least one processor configured to: acquire, based on a first fraud detection engine for detecting a fraud in a first service, a second fraud detection engine for detecting a fraud in a second service; acquire fraud information relating to a fraud that has actually occurred in the second service; determine, based on the fraud information, whether a fraud in the second service is detectable by the second fraud detection engine; and apply, when it is determined that a fraud in the second service is detectable by the second fraud detection engine, the second fraud detection engine to the second service.
