Innovation Solution
An interactive education system employing simulation gaming techniques, including a calculation engine that simulates retail lending portfolios over time, allowing learners to make strategic decisions and receive feedback, thereby promoting mastery of credit risk management skills through interactive simulation gaming.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional educational methods are used to teach credit risk strategies, then the teaching process is simple and easy to implement, but the learners fail to acquire practical decision-making skills and portfolio profitability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the real-world credit risk management environment through simulation gaming. Learners interact with a simulated lending portfolio that replicates real market conditions, allowing them to practice decision-making in a risk-free environment that mirrors actual professional scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The simulation gaming system provides immediate feedback to learners based on their decision outcomes. The system tracks portfolio performance metrics such as profitability, default rates, and risk parameters, presenting this feedback to learners so they can iteratively improve their decision-making strategies based on observed results.
2Reliability
If simulation gaming techniques are implemented to teach credit risk management, then learner engagement and skill mastery improve, but the system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The simulation gaming platform is designed to serve multiple functions: it provides educational content delivery, enables interactive decision-making practice, delivers performance feedback, and tracks learning progress. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single integrated platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows learners to adjust various parameters such as loan approval thresholds, interest rates, and risk tolerances to create different simulation scenarios. This parameter customization enables the same platform to adapt to different learning objectives and skill levels without requiring fundamentally different system architectures.
3Productivity
If interactive simulation gaming is used instead of traditional lectures, then practical decision-making skills are developed, but the implementation cost and resource requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The simulation gaming system is designed to be self-contained with automated scenario generation, decision evaluation, and performance feedback mechanisms. The system serves itself by automatically creating learning scenarios based on predefined templates and evaluating learner decisions without requiring constant human intervention for scenario creation or result analysis.

AI summary
A calculation engine of an apparatus in an example is employable for interactive simulation gaming to create an active learning environment on credit risk management for a learner. The calculation engine simulates one or more retail lending portfolios in a retail bank over a selectable period of time in the active learning environment for the learner. The calculation engine allows and/or requests the learner to decide, select, and/or choose one or more parameters for a strategy for credit policy and/or loan approval. The calculation engine employs the one or more parameters from the learner to calculate a financial outcome of the one or more retail lending portfolios in the retail bank over the selectable period of time that reflects the strategy for credit policy and/or loan approval by the learner in a corresponding run of the active learning environment on credit risk management for the learner.
