Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an effective method to help users recognize fraudulent computing operations in a timely and efficient manner, leading to unnecessary investigations and resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

An authorizing entity server displays a log of computing operations to users, allowing them to indicate fraudulent activities, and generates memory-jogging visual units with metadata to aid recognition, ranking them by attributes like location or entity name to facilitate user recall.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users are presented with detailed logs of computing operations to identify fraudulent activities, then the accuracy of fraud detection improves, but the time required for users to review and identify fraudulent operations increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoiduser review time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the computing operations log into individual discrete entries, each representing a separate operation. This segmentation allows users to review operations in manageable units rather than overwhelming continuous data, improving both accuracy of identification and efficiency of review process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary filtering and organization of computing operations before presenting them to users. Operations are pre-processed to highlight relevant information and arrange them in a logical sequence, reducing the time users need to spend on review while maintaining detection accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If comprehensive logs of all computing operations are maintained for fraud detection, then the reliability of fraud identification improves, but the device complexity and resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud identification reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential and relevant information from computing operations logs for presentation to users. Non-essential data is excluded or summarized, maintaining fraud identification reliability while reducing system complexity and resource requirements for storing and processing comprehensive logs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates simplified copies or representations of the original computing operations data for user review. These copies contain the critical information needed for fraud detection in a more compact and manageable format, reducing the complexity burden while preserving reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If users manually review computing operation logs to identify fraudulent activities, then the measurement precision of fraud detection improves, but the productivity of the fraud detection process decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection precisionVSAvoidfraud detection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions with the log review interface provide information back to the system. This feedback enables the system to learn from user behavior, adjust the presentation of operations, and potentially automate aspects of fraud detection, thereby improving productivity while maintaining precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts the presentation and filtering of computing operations based on user preferences, historical data, and detected patterns. This dynamic adjustment optimizes the review process in real-time, improving both the precision of fraud detection and the productivity of the overall process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method includes displaying on a graphic user interface (GUI) of a computing device of a user, a log of computing operations performed by the user at computing terminals of entity servers respectively managed by entities. The user uses a unique authorization identifier provided by the authorizing entity to authorize the computing operations at the computing terminals of the entity servers. The user provides a fraud indication through the GUI that at least one computing operation in the log is fraudulent. Memory-jogging visual units are displayed on the GUI to the user that cause the user to recall performing the at least one computing operation identified as being fraudulent. An entry of the at least one computing operation in an operation database is marked as a valid operation authorized by the user when receiving a recognition indication and potentially fraudulent when no recognition indication by the user.
