Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic device security systems fail to effectively detect and differentiate between legitimate users providing inaccurate or exaggerated data and fraudulent users, leading to potential security breaches in online transactions.

Innovation Solution

A system that monitors user input-unit gestures and interactions, utilizing contextual analysis and spatial orientation data to identify and flag potentially fraudulent or dishonest data entries, generating alerts and mitigating measures to prevent unauthorized transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional security authentication methods are used, then user authentication is simple and fast, but the system cannot differentiate between legitimate users and fraudulent users providing false data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary lie detection system that sits between the user authentication process and the transaction approval. This intermediary analyzes user inputs, gestures, and behavioral patterns to determine truthfulness without replacing the existing authentication mechanism, thereby improving reliability while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical security verification methods (such as simple password checks) with a biometric-based lie detection system that analyzes physiological and behavioral indicators. This substitution enables more reliable differentiation between legitimate and fraudulent users by detecting subtle cues in voice patterns, facial expressions, and input gestures that indicate deception

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

2Measurement precision

If advanced lie detection analysis is implemented, then fraudulent transactions are detected more accurately, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial analysis by focusing on specific high-indicative gestures and inputs rather than analyzing every user action in detail. The system selectively monitors key behavioral markers (such as hesitation patterns, correction frequencies, and specific gesture types) that provide the most fraud detection value, achieving high accuracy without requiring exhaustive analysis of all user interactions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary lie detection analysis during the data entry process itself, continuously monitoring user gestures and inputs as they are provided. This real-time preliminary analysis allows the system to identify fraudulent patterns during data collection rather than requiring additional post-processing time, thereby maintaining fast transaction processing while achieving accurate fraud detection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive monitoring of user gestures and interactions is performed, then dishonest data entry is detected effectively, but the ease of operation for legitimate users decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by having the system automatically analyze and interpret user gestures and interactions without requiring user awareness or action. The lie detection process operates transparently in the background, automatically comparing observed behavioral patterns against known fraud indicators, thereby maintaining data integrity while requiring no additional effort or awareness from legitimate users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by focusing monitoring resources on specific high-risk input fields and gestures rather than uniformly analyzing all user interactions. The system identifies and intensively monitors particular gesture types (such as rapid deletions, unusual typing patterns, or hesitant movements) that are more indicative of fraud, while treating normal interactions with minimal overhead, thereby preserving user convenience for legitimate operations while effectively detecting dishonest data entry

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Method, device, and system of detecting a lie of a user who inputs data. A method includes monitoring input-unit gestures and interactions of a user that inputs data through an electronic device; and based on analysis of the input-unit gestures and interactions, determining that the user has inputted false data through the electronic device. A particular fillable field, or a particular question, are identified as having untrue input from the user. Optionally, spatial orientation data of the electronic device is taken into account in the determination process. Optionally, contextual analysis is utilized, to determine that the input-unit gestures and interactions reflect an attempt of the user to perform a beautifying modification of a data-item to his benefit.
