Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transaction systems face challenges in efficiently retrieving and analyzing transaction data across multiple channels without causing latency, which affects processing speed and user analysis capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A multi-channel adapter system that receives and executes API calls based on data retrieval thresholds, such as account thresholds, to selectively retrieve data from interaction channels like ACH and Wire Transfer, optimizing data retrieval to prevent excessive latency and improve processing speed, while allowing user-defined preferences for transaction data types.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If data retrieval requests include a large number of accounts to improve analysis completeness, then the quantity of transaction data increases, but latency increases and processing speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of transaction dataVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data retrieval process by implementing thresholds that divide account requests into manageable batches. The multi-channel adapter evaluates account thresholds and transaction thresholds to split large retrieval requests into smaller, controlled batches, preventing excessive latency while maintaining comprehensive data collection over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts data retrieval based on evaluated thresholds. The multi-channel adapter continuously evaluates account thresholds and transaction thresholds to adaptively control the number of accounts and transactions included in each retrieval request, optimizing the balance between data quantity and latency in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If data retrieval requests include comprehensive account and transaction data to improve analysis accuracy, then measurement precision improves, but processing time increases due to latency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation of thresholds before executing data retrieval. The multi-channel adapter evaluates account thresholds and transaction thresholds in advance to pre-determine the optimal scope of data retrieval, ensuring analysis accuracy is maintained while avoiding unnecessary latency from excessive data requests.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system retrieves data from multiple interaction channels to improve versatility, then adaptability increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-channel capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The multi-channel adapter serves as a universal component that handles multiple interaction channels (ACH, wire transfer, mobile deposit, internet banking) through a single standardized interface. It universally evaluates account thresholds and transaction thresholds across all channels, simplifying the system architecture while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Productivity

If the system evaluates and applies multiple thresholds to optimize data retrieval, then productivity improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidthreshold evaluation mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The multi-channel adapter autonomously evaluates account thresholds and transaction thresholds without requiring external intervention for each data retrieval request. The system self-regulates the data retrieval process by automatically applying evaluated thresholds to control the number of accounts and transactions, improving processing speed while keeping the complexity contained within the adapter component.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A computer-implemented method includes receiving parameters including an account threshold. The account threshold can define a maximum number of accounts that can be included in a request. The method also includes executing an application programming interface call associated with the request to an interaction channel based on the at least one parameter. The method further includes receiving data that satisfies the parameters in response to the application programming interface call. Additionally, the method includes causing a display of the data at a user interface of a client device. The data can be used by the client device to analyze account activity.
