Solution Overview

Problem

Integrating a new fraud telemetry vendor into an existing financial transaction system is complex and time-consuming, requiring lengthy multi-person efforts to compare its effectiveness with incumbent vendors.

Innovation Solution

Configuring the firm computer system to receive telemetry data from both an incumbent and a new third-party fraud telemetry vendor by appending the new vendor's data to an existing HTTP header, using a predefined syntax, allowing the existing fraud decisioning engine orchestration system to handle both vendors without significant revisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a new fraud telemetry vendor is integrated into the existing system, then the system can compare multiple vendors' effectiveness, but the integration process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to compare multiple vendorsVSAvoidintegration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments vendor data into distinct JSON objects within a standardized HTTP header format. Each vendor's telemetry data is encapsulated in its own JSON structure with unique identifiers, allowing multiple vendors to coexist without interfering with each other. This segmentation enables the system to handle multiple vendors independently while maintaining a unified communication protocol.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal HTTP header structure that can accommodate multiple fraud telemetry vendors simultaneously. The standardized format with vendor-specific JSON objects allows the same system infrastructure to work with any number of vendors, making the system multi-functional and vendor-agnostic without requiring separate integration pathways for each vendor.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a new fraud telemetry vendor is integrated into the existing system, then the system can compare multiple vendors' effectiveness, but the integration process becomes lengthy requiring several months

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to compare multiple vendorsVSAvoidintegration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes a pre-defined HTTP header structure and JSON data format that is designed in advance to accommodate multiple vendors. By preparing this standardized framework beforehand, new vendors can be integrated by simply conforming to the existing format rather than requiring custom integration work, dramatically reducing the time from vendor selection to operational comparison.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If the existing fraud decisioning engine logic is used to handle data from both vendors, then system changes are minimized, but data from the new vendor must be appended to existing HTTP headers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem change effortVSAvoiddata appending complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a standardized HTTP header as an intermediary layer between multiple fraud telemetry vendors and the existing fraud decisioning engine. The header acts as a mediator that carries vendor-specific JSON data in a unified format, allowing the engine to process multiple vendors through its existing logic without direct modifications, while the structured intermediary handles the complexity of multi-vendor data consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A firm computer system is configured to add a new third party telemetry vendor. An incumbent third party telemetry vendor communicates with the firm computer system using HTTP requests that include HTTP headers, including a first telemetry-related HTTP header. The new third party telemetry vendor communicates with the firm computer system using HTTP requests that include the first telemetry-related HTTP header. The new third party telemetry vendor appends its telemetry data to the first telemetry-related HTTP, separating it in the first telemetry-related HTTP from telemetry data from the incumbent third party telemetry vendor according to a predefined syntax.
