Solution Overview

Problem

Existing account management systems fail to efficiently determine and indicate associations between mitigation records and event records in record logs, leading to resource-intensive manual reviews and reduced user experience.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing a machine learning model trained on historical records to analyze record logs, determine association scores, and append association tags to mitigation records, indicating associations with event records based on probability thresholds, and receiving user feedback to verify these associations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual review methods are used to determine associations between mitigation records and event records, then user experience is maintained through direct verification, but resource consumption increases and processing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary filtering of event records based on temporal proximity to mitigation records before presenting them for association verification. By pre-processing the record log to identify candidate event records within a specified time window, the system reduces the computational burden during user verification while maintaining accurate association detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an automated filtering mechanism as an intermediary between the raw record log and the user verification process. This intermediary layer pre-processes and ranks potential associations based on temporal criteria, reducing the complexity of manual review while preserving user judgment for final verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If automated association detection is implemented using machine learning models, then resource consumption is reduced and processing efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The association detection system is segmented into distinct functional components: a machine learning model for initial association scoring, a temporal filtering mechanism for refining candidates, and a user verification interface for final confirmation. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall efficiency while making the complex system more manageable and maintainable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial automation by using the machine learning model to generate probability scores and filter candidate records, but retains user verification for final confirmation. This partial automation approach reduces resource consumption compared to fully manual review while avoiding the full complexity and potential errors of completely automated systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive analysis of all event records is performed to ensure accurate association detection, then measurement precision improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary temporal filtering to identify only those event records that fall within a specified time window around each mitigation record. This pre-filtering step dramatically reduces the number of records requiring detailed analysis while ensuring that no potentially relevant associations are missed, thereby maintaining measurement precision without the full processing time cost.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial analysis by focusing computational resources only on event records that meet temporal criteria rather than analyzing all records comprehensively. This selective approach achieves sufficient detection accuracy for practical purposes while significantly reducing processing time compared to exhaustive analysis of the entire record log.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

In some implementations, a system may identify a mitigation record in a record log associated with an account of an application. The system may append a message prompt to the mitigation record that causes the application to request, during a user session associated with the account, an indication of whether there is an association between the mitigation record and an event record. The system may receive, from a user device associated with the user session, feedback associated with the message prompt that indicates whether the mitigation record is associated with the event record. The system may perform, based on the feedback, an action associated with indicating whether the mitigation record and the event record are associated.
