Solution Overview

Problem

Current fraud detection systems are inadequate in identifying potential fraudulent activities before they are completed, especially as sophisticated nefarious entities evolve, leading to significant financial losses for internet service providers.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing a neural network-based approach that generates and classifies completed sessions from partial interaction data, employing generative adversarial networks, recurrent neural networks, and variational autoencoders to predict the likelihood of fraudulent actions by analyzing sequences of user interactions, including clicks, keystrokes, and other session data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional fraud detection systems are used, then existing fraud can be detected, but fraudulent activities cannot be identified before completion and financial losses occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection capabilityVSAvoidtime to detect fraud
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of interaction sequences to predict fraudulent actions before they are completed. By analyzing patterns in user interactions (clicks, keystrokes, navigation) in real-time, the system can identify potential fraud indicators and alert authorities before the fraudulent transaction finalizes, thereby reducing time loss and preventing financial damage.

2Measurement precision

If sophisticated fraud detection systems are implemented, then detection accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the fraud detection task into multiple independent components: interaction sequence analysis, pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and risk scoring. Each component processes specific aspects of user behavior data independently, then integrates results through a coordinated framework. This segmentation enables high-precision fraud detection while managing system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If real-time fraud detection is implemented, then fraudulent actions can be detected before completion, but processing speed requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors and analyzes user interaction sequences in real-time without interruption. By maintaining continuous processing of interaction data streams and updating risk assessments dynamically, the system achieves reliable fraud detection before completion while optimizing processing speed through efficient stream processing techniques and incremental analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
