Solution Overview

Problem

In the vehicle loan transaction process, there is no efficient way to quantify the impact of rejected applications or unfavorable transaction terms on individuals, leading to resource wastage and ineffective vehicle recommendations due to lack of access to individual preferences and inventory data.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle selection platform uses machine learning to process transaction data, identify scores indicating likelihoods of transaction terms contributing to transaction prevention, and filters vehicle inventory based on individual preferences and loan provider preferences to recommend suitable vehicles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning is used to process transaction data and generate scores, then transaction completion prediction accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction completion prediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A machine learning model serves as an intermediary component that processes transaction data and generates scores indicating likelihood of transaction completion. This model acts as a mediator between raw transaction data and business decisions, transforming unstructured data into actionable insights without requiring complex custom processing logic throughout the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the complex task of predicting transaction completion into distinct components: data collection module, machine learning model processing module, score generation module, and recommendation module. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If vehicle inventory data and individual preferences are accessed and processed, then vehicle recommendation quality is improved, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle recommendation qualityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and storing vehicle inventory data and individual preferences in structured formats before they are needed for recommendations. This includes pre-segmenting vehicle data by categories, attributes, and compatibility metrics, so that when a recommendation is needed, the system can quickly retrieve and process only relevant data subsets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by processing and analyzing only the specific portions of vehicle inventory data and individual preferences that are relevant to each transaction context. Rather than processing all available data uniformly, the system identifies and focuses on locally relevant attributes based on the individual's profile and the specific transaction scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If scores are used to filter vehicle inventory, then resource efficiency is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource efficiencyVSAvoidscore accuracy requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs parameter changes by adjusting the threshold values and weightings of the scoring model based on different transaction contexts, individual profiles, and vehicle types. This allows the same scoring mechanism to adapt to varying requirements without needing completely different models for each scenario, maintaining resource efficiency while accommodating precision needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by using the scoring mechanism to filter and rank only a subset of vehicle inventory that has the highest probability of successful transaction. Rather than evaluating all vehicles equally, the system focuses computational resources on the most promising candidates, achieving resource efficiency while maintaining adequate measurement precision for decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A device receives transaction data associated with an individual that is participating in a transaction for a vehicle. The device identifies transaction term values relating to the transaction. The device determines scores indicating likelihoods of the transaction term values contributing to prevention of completion of the transaction. The device receives vehicle inventory data describing vehicles. The device identifies one or more recommended vehicles, of the vehicles, based on performing a vehicle search of the vehicles described by the vehicle inventory data, where the vehicle search identifies the one or more recommended vehicles based on one or more filters. The device provides vehicle offer data for the one or more recommended vehicles to one or more other devices to permit the one or more other devices to use the vehicle offer data as part of another transaction for a particular vehicle of the one or more vehicles.
