Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional authentication protocols are used for device security, then device access control is maintained, but detection of sophisticated malware and unauthorized access fails

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional authentication protocols (mechanical verification systems) with machine learning-based behavioral analysis. The system uses ML models to analyze interaction data patterns (keystrokes, touch events, accelerometer data) instead of relying on conventional authentication mechanisms, enabling detection of sophisticated threats that traditional systems miss.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary machine learning system that sits between the device and threats. This ML-based intermediary analyzes interaction data and schemas to detect anomalies and unauthorized access, acting as a mediator that enhances security without requiring changes to core authentication infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive interaction data analysis is performed for intrusion detection, then detection accuracy improves, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanomaly detection precisionVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing interaction data and pre-training ML models with comprehensive datasets before deployment. The system creates schemas for authorized devices in advance and trains models offline, so that during runtime, the actual analysis requires minimal computational resources while maintaining high detection precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by selectively analyzing specific interaction data elements (keystrokes, touch events, accelerometer data) based on threat context rather than processing all possible data continuously. The system processes data at appropriate levels of detail, avoiding excessive computation while maintaining detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning models are trained with multiple schemas for authorized devices, then unauthorized access detection capability improves, but training time and computational overhead increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-device detection capabilityVSAvoidmodel training time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process by creating separate schemas for different authorized devices and training the ML model in modular stages. Each device schema is processed independently, allowing parallel training and reducing overall training time while maintaining the ability to detect unauthorized access across multiple devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for computing device intrusion detection via machine learning for interaction data analysis. The present disclosure includes receiving interaction event data, associating the interaction event data with the first endpoint device as a first schema, receiving an interaction event data stream and a corresponding endpoint device identifier, determining, by inputting the interaction event data stream and the corresponding endpoint device identifier to a trained machine learning model, an identified endpoint device and a presence of at least one anomaly, and transmitting a notification signal comprising schema mismatch details to the identified endpoint device.
