Solution Overview

Problem

Existing fraud detection systems rely on static rules-based models that require frequent manual updates, are prone to errors, and struggle with limited data availability for millennials and other demographics, leading to inefficient fraud identification and potential false positives/negatives, impacting user experience and revenue.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for iteratively measuring transaction scoring data using a fraud scoring engine that normalizes transaction scoring data by applying multiple rules bases sequentially, allowing for automatic updates and optimization based on feedback, thereby improving fraud detection accuracy and reducing human intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If static rules-based systems are used for fraud detection, then implementation is simple and straightforward, but the systems require frequent manual updates and cannot immediately recognize or correct flaws in fraud decisions

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveEase of implementing fraud detection systemVSAvoidAbility to update and adapt to new fraud patterns
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static rules-based system into a dynamic machine learning model that automatically adapts to new fraud patterns. The system continuously learns from transaction data and updates its detection capabilities without manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model performs self-updating and self-optimization by automatically learning from new data and adjusting its parameters. This eliminates the need for manual rule updates while maintaining simplicity in deployment, as the system serves itself by continuously improving its fraud detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual rule updates are performed frequently, then fraud detection accuracy can be maintained, but human effort and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveFraud detection accuracyVSAvoidTime for manual rule updates
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated feedback loops where transaction outcomes are fed back into the machine learning model, which then automatically adjusts its parameters and rules. This continuous feedback mechanism maintains high detection accuracy without requiring manual rule updates, eliminating time loss while preserving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual rule creation and updating with an automated machine learning system. The ML model automatically processes transaction data, identifies fraud patterns, and updates detection rules without human intervention, maintaining accuracy while eliminating the time-consuming manual update process.

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

3Measurement precision

If more data is collected for fraud analysis, then detection accuracy improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveFraud detection precisionVSAvoidProcessing time for transaction analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and feature-engineering transaction data before analysis. It extracts only the most relevant features and prepares data in advance, allowing rapid processing of large datasets without sacrificing detection precision. This preliminary preparation enables the system to handle more data efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model extracts only the most critical features and patterns from large volumes of transaction data, focusing computational resources on the most relevant information. This selective extraction maintains high detection precision while reducing processing time by ignoring redundant or less important data elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
