CLASSIFYING FRAUD INSTANCES IN COMPLETED ORDERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240037571 titled 'CLASSIFYING FRAUD INSTANCES IN COMPLETED ORDERS

Simplified Explanation

An online concierge system for fraud detection in customer orders fulfilled by a picker. The system involves a picker client device with a picker application that sends a list of items related to a fulfilled customer order. Additionally, a transaction log containing a list of items purchased is received from the retailer's inventory system. The system compares these lists to identify any unmatched items. A pretrained fraud detection model, trained on historical data with labeled instances of fraud or non-fraud, is applied to the unmatched items to assess the likelihood of fraud. If the likelihood surpasses a predefined threshold, the item is flagged as a fraudulent instance. This determination is then sent to an auditor client device for further action.

Original Abstract Submitted

an online concierge system for fraud detection in customer orders fulfilled by a picker. a picker client device, with an installed picker application, sends a first list of items related to a fulfilled customer order. separately, a transaction log containing a second list of items purchased is received from the retailer's inventory system. these lists are compared to identify any unmatched items. a pretrained fraud detection model, trained on historical data with labeled instances of fraud or non-fraud, is applied to the unmatched items to assess the likelihood of fraud. if this likelihood surpasses a predefined threshold, the item is flagged as a fraudulent instance. this determination is then sent to an auditor client device for further action.
