Solution Overview

Problem

Existing messaging content filtering systems are vulnerable to 'content drift' where malicious senders exploit deficiencies by changing messaging content to circumvent compliance filters, leading to non-compliant content being forwarded.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a messaging content analyzer that uses trainable encoder models and classifiers to detect messaging content drift by establishing baselines and configurable maximum allowed variability thresholds, allowing or blocking content based on real-time comparisons.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional messaging content filtering systems are used, then basic compliance checking is maintained, but the systems become vulnerable to content drift where malicious senders can circumvent filters by changing content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance detection reliabilityVSAvoidadaptability to content variations
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic baseline establishment and variability threshold adjustment mechanisms. The system continuously learns from messaging content patterns and adapts its filtering criteria over time, transitioning from static rule-based filtering to dynamic adaptive filtering that responds to emerging content drift patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of content evaluation by establishing baselines of compliant content and defining variability thresholds. Instead of using fixed filtering rules, the system evaluates content based on deviations from established baselines, allowing it to detect subtle drift patterns while maintaining compliance with evolving standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If content filtering rules are made more strict to prevent non-compliant content, then compliance accuracy improves, but false positives increase and legitimate messages are blocked

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance measurement precisionVSAvoidfalse positive blocking
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different variability thresholds to different content categories and contexts. Instead of using a single strict filtering rule for all messages, the system tailors its compliance evaluation criteria to specific message types, senders, and contexts, allowing legitimate variations while maintaining strict enforcement where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where blocked or flagged messages can be reviewed and used to refine baseline definitions and variability thresholds. This continuous feedback loop allows the system to learn from false positives and adjust its precision accordingly, reducing erroneous blocks while maintaining compliance detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If manual review processes are used to verify messaging content compliance, then detection accuracy improves, but processing speed and productivity decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance detection accuracyVSAvoidmessage processing throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a tiered review process where only messages that exceed variability thresholds are subjected to manual review or secondary analysis. The majority of compliant messages are automatically approved based on baseline comparisons, while potentially non-compliant messages receive enhanced scrutiny, optimizing the balance between throughput and detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

An example method of analyzing messaging content includes: receiving first messaging content comprising a first plurality of messages originated by a specified message-originating entity; determining, for each subset of the first messaging content corresponding to a respective use case, a respective baseline; receiving second messaging content comprising a second plurality of messages originated by the specified message-originating entity; classifying the second messaging content into respective one or more portions corresponding to one or more use cases associated with the specified message-originating entity; comparing each portion of the second messaging content to a baseline associated with a corresponding use case; responsive to determining that a value of a metric reflecting a difference between a portion of the second messaging content and a baseline associated with a corresponding use case exceeds a corresponding maximum allowable variability threshold, performing a remedial action with respect to the portion of the second messaging content.
