Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods are inadequate in identifying fraudulent use of identity information, especially when the usage environment changes, as they rely on static account behavior and fail to effectively detect fraudulent activity in dynamic scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that analyze association relationships between identity information and account information, determining a risk value by establishing connections based on common features such as shared interactions, objects, or devices, allowing for the identification of potentially fraudulent identity information even when the usage environment changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If static account behavior analysis is used to identify fraudulent identity information, then the identification method is simple, but it fails to detect fraudulent activity when usage environment changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoididentification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static fraud detection approach into a dynamic one by continuously monitoring account behavior patterns and comparing them against learned normal patterns. The system adapts to changing usage environments by detecting deviations from established patterns rather than relying on fixed rules, enabling reliable fraud detection even when legitimate usage patterns evolve.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where account behavior data is continuously collected, analyzed, and used to refine fraud detection models. The comparison between actual behavior patterns and normal patterns creates a feedback loop that improves detection accuracy over time, allowing the system to learn from new fraud patterns while maintaining simplicity through automated pattern recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If association relationships between multiple accounts are analyzed, then fraud detection capability is improved, but processing time and computational complexity increase

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex analysis of account associations into manageable components by focusing on specific behavioral patterns and interaction types. Instead of analyzing all possible account relationships simultaneously, the system divides the problem into discrete pattern recognition tasks, processing only relevant associations that match known fraud indicators, thereby reducing overall processing time while maintaining detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by selectively analyzing only the most critical association patterns rather than exhaustively examining all account relationships. By focusing computational resources on high-risk pattern types and using heuristics to prioritize analysis, the system achieves effective fraud detection with reduced processing overhead compared to comprehensive analysis of all account interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
