US Patent 10115108 Rendering transaction data to identify fraud detection rule strength

Techniques of identifying fraud detection rule strength involve varying the rendering of a graph from transaction data. Along these lines, a rules server computer provides a general graph from a group of transaction entries defining a group of fraudulent and authentic transactions on an electronic display. A user defines selection criteria that the rules server computer applies to the group of transaction entries to generate a subgroup of transaction entries. From the subgroup of transaction entries, the rules server computer provides a focused graph on the electronic display from the subgroup of transaction entries defining a subgroup of the group of fraudulent and authentic transactions. A ratio of the number of fraudulent transactions to the number of authentic transactions represented in the focused graph identifies the strength of the selection criteria for use in a fraud detection rule.
