System to monitor irregular activity
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an item record that corresponds to a price-based value related to an item available to be transacted using a network-based transaction system,the item record including an irregular flag and location data that corresponds to the item;
determining a threshold value for the item record based on the location data,the determining of the threshold value being performed by a processor of a machine; and
setting a flag value of the irregular flag in the item record based on the price-based value transgressing the threshold value.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving item data at a network-based computer system, the item data related to an item categorized in at least a first category of a plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system and including an item price-based value associated with the item. A category-specific threshold price-based value, for the first category of the plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system, is automatically determined. The item data is automatically determined to the irregular, based on the item price-based value associated with the item and the category-specific threshold price-based value for the first category of the plurality of categories supported by the network-based computer system. Responsive to the determination that the item data is irregular, an entity associated with the item is restricted from using the network-based computer system.

16. A system comprising:
-
a database to receive an item record that corresponds to a price-based value related to an item available to be transacted using a network-based transaction system, the item record including an irregular flag and location data that corresponds to the item; and irregular activity monitoring module implemented by a processor machine, the irregular activity monitoring module being configured to; determine a threshold value for the item record based on the location data; and set a flag value of the irregular flag in the item record based on the price-based value transgressing the threshold value.

19. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving an item record that corresponds to a price-based value related to an item available to be transacted using a network-based transaction system, the item record including an irregular flag and location data that corresponds to the item; determining a threshold value for the item record based on the location data; and setting a flag value of the irregular flag in the item record based on the price-based value transgressing the threshold value.

20. A system comprising:
-
means for receiving an item record that corresponds to a price-based value related to an item available to be transacted using a network-based transaction system, the item record including an irregular flag and location data that corresponds to the item; and means for; determining a threshold value for the item record based on the location data; and setting a flag value of the irregular flag in the item record based on the price-based value transgressing the threshold value.
