Solution Overview

Problem

Existing instant messaging safety pre-warnings lack accuracy in identifying security risks, allowing potential frauds to go undetected, as they rely solely on preset keywords without considering user account information and behavior.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that determine the risk level of an instant messaging message by analyzing user account information and identity information, transmitting pre-warning information to the recipient if the risk level reaches a certain threshold, including security prompt, verification, and report information to enhance user awareness and security verification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If preset keywords are used for safety pre-warnings, then the implementation is simple, but the accuracy of identifying dangerous situations is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidaccuracy of safety pre-warning
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters used for risk assessment from simple keyword matching to multiple dimensions including user account information, device information, location information, and behavior patterns. This transforms the detection system from a single-parameter (keyword) approach to a multi-parameter comprehensive assessment model, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining implementation feasibility through structured data collection and analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds new dimensions to the safety warning system by incorporating user account dimensions (account age, verification status), device dimensions (device type, OS version), location dimensions (GPS coordinates, address), and behavioral dimensions (message frequency, interaction patterns). This multi-dimensional approach resolves the contradiction by providing comprehensive accuracy without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If multiple dimensions of user information are analyzed for risk assessment, then the accuracy of safety pre-warnings is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of safety pre-warningVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the risk assessment system into distinct functional modules: user account information module, device information module, location information module, and behavior analysis module. Each module independently processes specific types of data and contributes to the overall risk score. This segmentation reduces system complexity by making each component manageable and independently developable while achieving comprehensive multi-dimensional analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary risk assessment engine that receives data from multiple information sources (user accounts, devices, locations, behaviors) and processes them through standardized algorithms to generate a unified risk level. This intermediary layer simplifies the system architecture by providing a centralized processing point that coordinates between different data sources and the output warning system, reducing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
