Solution Overview

Problem

Consumers lack the necessary resources to determine the advantages of foreign exchange when making cross-border payments, leading to non-advantageous processing methods.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that utilize a processor and memory to acquire and process action data, augment it with external data, identify data irregularities, and generate a conversion record to help consumers make informed foreign exchange decisions before transfers, leveraging machine-learning models and cryptographic systems for security and privacy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If consumers use traditional cross-border payment methods, then payments are processed, but consumers incur higher costs and lack transparency in foreign exchange advantages

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecostVSAvoidforeign exchange advantage information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the foreign exchange calculation process into distinct components: acquiring action data, acquiring external data, processing action data with augmentation, generating non-identifiable action data, identifying data irregularities, and classifying against exchange rates. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while providing comprehensive cost analysis to consumers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The apparatus acts as an intermediary between consumers and foreign exchange systems. It processes action data, augments it with external data, and classifies it against exchange rates to determine advantageous conversions. This intermediary provides consumers with transparent cost information and foreign exchange advantage analysis that would otherwise be unavailable through traditional payment methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If consumer data is processed to provide foreign exchange advantages, then cost-saving information is generated, but data security and privacy protection become critical concerns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveforeign exchange advantage informationVSAvoiddata security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts personally identifiable information from action data to generate non-identifiable action data. This extraction removes sensitive consumer information while retaining the essential characteristics needed for foreign exchange analysis. The non-identifiable data is then used for classification and irregularity detection, maintaining analytical accuracy while protecting consumer privacy and reducing data security risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If machine-learning models are trained on action data, then data irregularity detection improves, but computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata irregularity detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring and processing action data before it is used for machine-learning model training. Action data is pre-processed, augmented with external data, and converted to non-identifiable data in advance. This preliminary processing reduces the complexity of subsequent model training and improves detection accuracy by providing clean, standardized input data ready for analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where the machine-learning model's irregularity detection results are fed back into the processing pipeline. This feedback mechanism allows the model to continuously improve its accuracy by learning from identified irregularities while the system adjusts its processing parameters to optimize the balance between detection reliability and computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
