Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If binary decision method is used for token transaction risk evaluation, then the evaluation process is simple, but the accuracy of fraud assessment is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation process simplicityVSAvoidfraud assessment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the binary risk evaluation (authorized/declined) into a multi-parameter regression analysis system. It introduces multiple authentication features as independent variables and uses regression coefficients to weight their contributions to risk assessment, enabling continuous risk scoring instead of binary decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the risk evaluation into multiple independent authentication features (token cryptogram validation, device binding verification, CDCVM validation, etc.), each contributing separately to the overall risk score through the regression formula, allowing granular analysis of different authentication aspects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If multiple authentication features are considered, then the accuracy of risk assessment is improved, but the complexity of evaluation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk assessment accuracyVSAvoidevaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal regression-based evaluation framework that can handle multiple different authentication features through a single unified formula. The same regression model structure accommodates various authentication methods by simply plugging in different feature values, reducing the need for separate evaluation systems for each authentication type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces complex manual or rule-based multi-feature evaluation with an automated regression analysis system. The computer-implemented regression model automatically processes multiple authentication features and computes risk scores, substituting what would otherwise require complex manual assessment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If regression analysis with multiple variables is implemented, then the fraud detection accuracy is enhanced, but the computational complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The regression model is designed to be self-calibrating through iterative coefficient optimization. The system automatically adjusts the regression coefficients based on training data to maximize the coefficient of determination, reducing the need for manual tuning and simplifying deployment despite the underlying computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary regression coefficient optimization during system setup or training phases. By pre-calculating and storing the optimal regression coefficients before actual risk evaluation, the system reduces real-time computational complexity while maintaining high fraud detection accuracy during transaction processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving interaction data related to a plurality of interactions in a time period, determining a multiple variable regression formula, and then determining a coefficient of determination associated with the multiple variable regression formula and the interaction data. The method further includes determining if the coefficient of determination satisfies a threshold or is maximized. If the coefficient of determination does not satisfy the threshold or is not maximized, then adjusting the slope coefficients. If the coefficient of determination does satisfy the threshold or is maximized, then using the multiple variable regression formula to determine risk associated with future interactions.
