Solution Overview

Problem

Fraudulent transactions are increasing, and existing fraud detection solutions using predictive AI technology lead to high false positives, impacting resources and blocking legitimate transactions.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates tokens for accounts associated with authorizing entities, assigns transaction rules and attributes, and checks these attributes against rules to determine transaction validity, transmitting validation messages based on rule satisfaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If predictive AI technology is applied to flag risky transactions, then fraud detection capability is improved, but false positives increase blocking legitimate transactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection capabilityVSAvoidlegitimate transaction throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments account attributes into discrete tokenized attributes (e.g., account age, transaction velocity, geographic location) that can be independently evaluated against transaction rules. This segmentation allows for more precise fraud detection by evaluating specific attribute combinations rather than relying on monolithic AI predictions, thereby reducing false positives while maintaining fraud detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the detection parameters from AI probability scores to deterministic attribute-value comparisons against transaction rules. By transforming continuous AI predictions into discrete attribute evaluations (e.g., 'account age > 30 days' instead of 'fraud probability > 0.7'), the system achieves more reliable and explainable fraud detection with fewer false positives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If multiple fraud detection solutions are applied, then fraud detection capability is improved, but resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection capabilityVSAvoidprocessing power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple fraud detection approaches into a unified attribute-based evaluation framework. Instead of running separate AI models and rule engines independently, the system combines attribute tokenization, transaction rule evaluation, and risk scoring into a single integrated process, reducing redundant processing and lowering overall resource consumption while maintaining comprehensive fraud detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary attribute tokenization and risk scoring before final transaction authorization. By pre-evaluating account attributes against transaction rules in advance, the system identifies high-risk transactions early in the process, allowing for more efficient resource allocation and reducing the processing power required for subsequent fraud detection operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If AI technology is used to detect fraud, then fraud detection capability is improved, but false positives consume resources to remedy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection capabilityVSAvoidresources for false positive remediation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where transaction outcomes and attribute evaluations are continuously monitored and used to refine future risk assessments. By learning from actual transaction results and adjusting attribute thresholds accordingly, the system reduces false positives over time, thereby decreasing the resources needed for false positive remediation while maintaining high fraud detection capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
