Solution Overview

Problem

Peer-to-peer (P2P) resource transfer systems lack effective identity-based exposure detection mechanisms, risking misappropriation of resources during transactions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for identity-based exposure detection in P2P platforms, involving a processing device that receives resource transfer requests, queries a knowledge repository for matches, and transmits notifications based on entity records, ensuring legitimate transactions by verifying device, personal, and resource distribution account information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If identity verification mechanisms are implemented in P2P platforms, then transaction security is improved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs identity verification and exposure detection before resource transfers occur. Entity records are pre-established in the knowledge repository containing identity information, device identifiers, and resource distribution account details. When a transfer request is initiated, the system queries this pre-existing repository to verify the entity's identity and check for misappropriation risks, preventing unauthorized transfers before they happen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary exposure detection system that acts as a mediator between P2P users and the resource transfer mechanism. This intermediary layer queries a knowledge repository to verify entity identities and detect potential misappropriation risks, adding a security checkpoint without fundamentally altering the P2P transfer protocol itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If exposure detection queries are performed for every resource transfer, then misappropriation risk is reduced, but transaction processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemisappropriation risk reductionVSAvoidtransaction processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Entity records are pre-established and stored in the knowledge repository before any resource transfers occur. These records contain verified identity information, device identifiers, and resource distribution account details. When a transfer request is initiated, the system queries this pre-existing repository rather than performing verification from scratch, reducing processing time while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive entity verification is conducted, then transaction safety is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction safetyVSAvoidease of use
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The exposure detection system operates automatically in the background without requiring user intervention. When a user initiates a resource transfer, the system autonomously queries the knowledge repository, verifies entity identities, checks for misappropriation risks, and either permits or blocks the transfer based on the verification results, maintaining ease of use while ensuring safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for identity-based exposure detection in peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. The present invention is configured to receive, from a computing device of a P2P platform, an indication that a user has initiated a P2P resource transfer request to a first entity; retrieve, from a computing device of the P2P platform, resource transfer information of the first entity based on at least the P2P resource transfer request; initiate a database query on a P2P knowledge repository using the resource transfer information of the first entity; determine a match between the resource transfer information of the first entity and at least one entity record in the P2P knowledge repository based on at least initiating the database query; and transmit a notification to the computing device of the P2P platform indicating that the first entity is known to be associated with misappropriate activity.
