Solution Overview

Problem

Insurance companies face challenges in efficiently identifying and addressing vehicle insurance fraud, particularly when multiple fraudulent claims are submitted by coordinated groups, leading to wasted resources and failure to detect entire fraud rings.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing machine learning models, predictive analytics, and data mining processes input data from various sources, including claims, social media, treatment, and telematics, to generate a knowledge graph that identifies fraud rings by resolving ambiguities, extracting features, and determining relationships and contradictions, thereby enabling the detection of patterns across multiple claims.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional individual claim review methods are used, then each claim can be processed independently, but fraud rings involving multiple coordinated fraudulent claims cannot be detected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the fraud detection process into multiple specialized machine learning models, each handling specific aspects: LSTM for sequential claim patterns, CRF for structured data relationships, CNN for image analysis, and NLP for text processing. This segmentation allows the system to detect fraud rings by analyzing individual claim components while maintaining overall system manageability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple data sources and processing approaches into a unified fraud detection system. It combines structured claims data, unstructured text descriptions, image data, and external data sources into a comprehensive analysis framework that can identify coordinated fraud patterns across multiple claims

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If comprehensive data from multiple sources is analyzed to identify fraud rings, then detection accuracy improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary data processing and feature extraction before the main fraud detection analysis. It pre-processes claims data, extracts relevant features using NLP, and prepares data structures in advance, which reduces the computational burden during actual fraud ring detection and accelerates processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If multiple machine learning models are used to process different data types, then detection precision improves, but model complexity and computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different machine learning models with specialized capabilities to specific data types: LSTM for temporal sequential data, CRF for structured relational data, CNN for spatial image data, and NLP for unstructured text. This local quality approach ensures each data type is processed by the most appropriate model, improving precision while managing complexity through targeted specialization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Measurement precision

If ambiguous data in claims is resolved through multiple processing models, then data accuracy improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that resolves ambiguities in claims data before feeding it to the fraud detection models. This intermediary layer uses CRF models to disambiguate structured data and NLP techniques to clarify unstructured text, ensuring high data accuracy while isolating the complexity of ambiguity resolution from the main detection algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
