Solution Overview

Problem

Current financial transaction processes for large or sensitive transactions are cumbersome, requiring significant resources and time due to heavy manual input and complex coordination, which can be inconvenient and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A multi-layer transaction tracking system utilizing a computer apparatus with a processor and memory, along with a software module that provides secure transaction channels, pre-authorization codes, and post-verification notifications to ensure secure and efficient processing of transactions through multiple verification layers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If specialized transaction processing with heavy manual input and complex coordination is used for large or sensitive transactions, then security and reliability are improved, but processing time and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction securityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The transaction processing is divided into multiple independent channels, each handling specific verification tasks. The system segments the verification process into distinct layers (first channel for initial verification, second channel for additional verification), allowing parallel processing while maintaining comprehensive security checks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary verification actions through multiple channels before the transaction is fully processed. Pre-authorization codes are generated and verified in advance through separate communication channels, ensuring security requirements are met before committing resources to the transaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If specialized transaction processing with heavy manual input is used, then transaction security is improved, but operational complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction securityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service transaction processing where the communication system automatically manages multiple verification channels, generates pre-authorization codes, and coordinates verification steps without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously handling the complex multi-channel coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The communication system performs multiple functions through a single integrated platform: it manages transaction routing, generates security codes, coordinates multi-channel verification, and processes transaction data. This multi-functional approach reduces operational complexity compared to separate specialized systems.

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

3Reliability

If multiple verification channels are implemented, then transaction security and reliability are improved, but the number of communication channels and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification reliabilityVSAvoidchannel management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple verification channels are merged into a single integrated communication system that automatically manages the complexity of coordinating between channels. The system combines first channel and second channel operations under unified control, eliminating the need for separate management of each verification path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Embodiments for tracking multi-layer secured transactions include systems for providing a first transaction channel to a user and sending pre-authorization code to the user via the first transaction channel. The systems terminate the first transaction channel and provide a second transaction channel to the user and receive transaction data from the user comprising the pre-authorization code via the second transaction channel. The systems further identify one or more verifiers associated with the user for one or more transactions based on the transaction data, send a post verification notification to the one or more verifiers, and receive a post verification confirmation from at least one of the one or more verifiers in response to the post verification notification.
