Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional surveillance and compliance systems are time-consuming and inefficient, requiring significant developer input and lacking business user participation, leading to delayed updates and increased risk due to lengthy deployment cycles.
Innovation Solution
A collaborative development environment using graphical modeling tools to create and maintain surveillance and compliance scenarios, allowing business users to create detection logic in a business language that is translated into executable code, reducing dependency on developer teams and enhancing user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional surveillance and compliance systems are developed and maintained by dedicated developer teams, then the systems can be built and updated, but the development and maintenance process becomes very time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer between business users and the compliance system - a visual scenario builder tool that translates business-friendly visual definitions into system-executable code. This intermediary enables business users to directly create and modify compliance scenarios without requiring developer intervention, thereby dramatically reducing development and maintenance time while maintaining system reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The system empowers business users to independently define, create, and modify compliance scenarios using the visual scenario builder. Business users can directly input compliance requirements in their own language, and the system automatically generates the necessary detection logic and code, eliminating the need for external developer teams and enabling self-service scenario development
2Reliability
If developer teams are used to build and maintain surveillance systems, then the systems can be implemented, but business users have limited ability to provide input
Solution Approach 1:
The visual scenario builder enables business users to directly define compliance scenarios using their own domain knowledge and language. They can create visual representations of compliance rules, set parameters, and configure detection logic without needing to understand programming languages or rely on developers, thereby significantly improving business user participation and ensuring compliance requirements are accurately captured
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows business users to dynamically adjust compliance parameters, thresholds, and rules through the visual scenario builder interface. Users can modify scenario definitions, add or remove detection criteria, and tune sensitivity levels without requiring system reconfiguration by developers, making the system highly adaptable to changing business requirements
3Reliability
If conventional systems require painstaking updates by developers for changes, then system integrity can be maintained, but deployment of modifications is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
Business users can independently update and modify compliance scenarios directly in the system using the visual scenario builder. When compliance requirements change or new scenarios are needed, users can immediately define and deploy them without waiting for developer availability, thereby dramatically accelerating deployment speed while maintaining system integrity through automated code generation
Solution Approach 2:
The visual scenario builder performs preliminary translation of business user definitions into system-executable code in real-time. As users define scenarios visually, the system automatically generates the corresponding detection logic, rules, and configuration files, eliminating the need for subsequent manual coding and testing phases that typically delay deployment
4Productivity
If graphical modeling tools are used to enable business users to create scenarios, then development efficiency improves, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The visual scenario builder serves as an intermediary that abstracts away system complexity from business users. It provides a simplified visual interface for defining compliance scenarios while automatically handling the complex tasks of code generation, validation, and integration with the underlying compliance system, thereby improving productivity without exposing users to system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses template-based scenario definitions and pre-built visual components that business users can copy and reuse. Common compliance patterns and detection logic are captured in reusable templates, allowing users to quickly assemble new scenarios by copying and adapting existing patterns rather than building from scratch, thereby improving efficiency while managing complexity through standardization

AI summary
A system for generating a plurality of surveillance and compliance scenarios includes a first user interface comprising a graphical modeling tool for writing fraud detection logic in a first language and a second user interface for creating one or more configurable threshold parameters, one or more general parameters, as well as one or more configurable subsets of filters to be applied to the detection logic. The system is configured to interpret the fraud detection logic in the first language and translate the fraud detection logic into a second language that is capable of performing the fraud detection on a subset of transactions data after application of the one or more configurable subsets of filters to the detection logic, as well as limiting a number of alerts that can be generated after application of the threshold and general parameters.
