A computer-implemented system and method that enables the detection of fraudulent GPS coordinates provided during media collection for an inspection performed via a mobile device are disclosed herein. The system includes a fraud engine running on a public-facing web server/service (PFWS), and a field agent mobile device comprising a camera. The fraud engine is also configured to generate a fraudulent gradient of authenticity (FGA) for the inspection submission by calculating a ratio of the number of unique GPS coordinates to the total number of image coordinates.

A computer-implemented system and method for uploading media to an inspection record via a hybrid cell telephony connection and WWW protocol connection are disclosed. Example embodiments include: initiating a telephony call by an authority representative (Auth) having an inspector record for which remote capturing or viewing of media by a Field Agent (FA) is needed for an inspection at a site; sending a notification to a device of the FA (FA device), the notification including a link to establish a data connection between the FA device and a public-facing web server/service (PFWS); establishing a connection with the PFWS and prompting the FA by use of the telephony call to capture one or more snapshots or videos (media) at the site using a camera of the FA device; and uploading the media to the PFWS for storage.

A computer-implemented system and method for uploading media to an inspection record via the multimedia messaging service (MMS) are disclosed. An example embodiment includes: receiving a media upload authorization from an authority representative via an authority interface of an authority representative computing system in data communication with a media upload system on a data network; using the media upload system to prompt a field agent (FA) to initiate a media upload to a telephony service provider (TSP) computing system via an FA interface in response to the media upload authorization, the FA interface being a field agent mobile device in data communication with the TSP computing system via a short message service (SMS) or multimedia message service (MMS) protocol; receiving a conditional notifier from the TSP at the media upload system via a TSP interface of the TSP computing system in response to the FA media upload; using the media upload system to verify the FA media upload based on content in the conditional notifier; and using the media upload system to notify an inspection process (INSP) of the completion of the media upload via an INSP interface of an inspection management computing system in data communication with the media upload system on the data network.

A method and system for optimizing the interaction and execution of multiple service tasks associated with a logical transaction. The multiple components or 'legs' of the transaction consisting of tasks executable by a computing service or software as a service (SAAS) endpoint are identified. The system determines a strategy type or belief level associated with each of the service tasks included in a transaction. The belief level may be categorized as either 'optimistic' or &#x201c;pessimistic&#x201d; based on one or more performance parameters (e.g., a probability of failure of a service and an expense associated with a failure of the service) derived from historical data associated with a particular transaction or service task. A sequence of execution for the multiple service tasks associated with the transaction is determined based at least in part on the belief level associated with each of the multiple service tasks. In one embodiment, one or more unordered service tasks classified as pessimistic are performed before one or more unordered service tasks classified as optimistic.
