Solution Overview

Problem

Current identity verification methods are inadequate in detecting fraudulent attempts using forged documents and selfies, as they often rely on static comparisons and lack real-time predictive analytics to assess the likelihood of fraudulent transactions.

Innovation Solution

A method involving an Identity Verification Engine that receives a selfie and a document expression, cross-checks the document against a standard, and uses a machine learning model to predict the probability of fraudulent activity by analyzing biometric and situational dependencies, providing a quantitative authentication result with reasons for the prediction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If static comparison methods are used for identity verification, then the verification process is simple and fast, but the detection accuracy for fraudulent documents is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static comparison methods into dynamic predictive analytics by implementing a machine learning model that continuously learns from new data. The system evolves over time, adapting to new fraud patterns and improving detection accuracy dynamically rather than relying on fixed comparison rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary machine learning model that acts as a mediator between the input verification data and the fraud detection output. This ML model processes and analyzes the data through learned patterns, providing more accurate fraud detection than direct static comparison methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If real-time predictive analytics are implemented, then the fraud detection accuracy improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection reliabilityVSAvoidverification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-training the machine learning model on extensive fraud data before deployment. This allows the model to have pre-learned patterns that can be quickly applied during real-time verification, reducing the computational burden during actual processing while maintaining high detection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent optimizes processing time by adjusting parameters such as the complexity of the ML model, the amount of data processed per verification, and the confidence thresholds. These parameter changes balance the trade-off between detection reliability and processing speed to meet real-time requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive biometric and situational analysis is performed, then the authentication accuracy increases, but the system complexity and data processing requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex authentication process into distinct components: biometric analysis, situational dependency analysis, and machine learning prediction. Each component processes specific aspects of the verification data independently, then integrates results to achieve high authentication accuracy while managing system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
