Adaptive Event Forwarding System for Dynamic Administrator Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current system administration tools have static event subscription rules that do not adapt to dynamic changes in administrators' interests or time-based requirements, making it time-consuming to modify rules and not convenient for administrators who need information about specific events for short periods.
Innovation Solution
An adaptive event forwarding method and system that receives predefined event subscription rules, detects system and facility events, determines context, and dynamically decides whether to forward events to subscribers based on their interests and roles, using a resource manager with modules for event identification, forwarding, feedback collection, and rule updating.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If static event subscription rules are used, then system administration is simplified, but adaptability to dynamic administrator interests deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic event subscription rules that automatically adapt to changing administrator interests and time-based requirements. The system transitions from static rules to dynamic rule evaluation that considers context information such as administrator roles, time windows, and event types, enabling the system to respond flexibly to varying administrative needs without requiring manual rule reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically determining which events to forward based on context information about administrators and events. The event forwarding mechanism autonomously evaluates context data and subscription rules to make forwarding decisions without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving adaptability while maintaining operational simplicity.
2Productivity
If manual modification of event subscription rules is required, then rule customization is possible, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines event forwarding decisions by evaluating context information about administrators and events against subscription rules. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual rule modification while maintaining customization capability, significantly improving productivity and reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that allow administrators to indicate interest in specific events, which then automatically adjusts future event forwarding decisions. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from administrator preferences and automatically adapt event subscription behavior, eliminating manual rule modification time.
3Adaptability or versatility
If static event subscription rules are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but flexibility for time-based requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic evaluation of subscription rules that incorporates time-based context information. The system automatically adjusts event forwarding behavior based on time windows and temporal patterns, providing flexibility for time-based requirements while maintaining ease of operation through automated decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures subscription rules with time-based parameters and context thresholds. When events occur, the system automatically evaluates whether the event context matches the pre-defined criteria, enabling flexible time-based filtering without requiring manual intervention during operation.
4Loss of information
If all events are forwarded to administrators, then information completeness is ensured, but information relevance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality filtering by evaluating each event against specific context information about the administrator and the event type. The system determines relevance on a per-event basis by comparing event attributes with administrator preferences and context thresholds, ensuring high information relevance while managing filtering complexity through targeted evaluation rather than blanket filtering.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from administrator interactions with events to continuously refine event forwarding decisions. By analyzing which events administrators engage with, the system automatically adjusts future forwarding decisions to improve information relevance, reducing the need for complex manual filtering while maintaining high-quality information delivery.

AI summary
The present disclosure describes a method for adaptive event forwarding. The method includes receiving a plurality of predefined event subscription rules associated with one or more event subscribers, detecting a system and facility event associated with a system and facility operation of a computing system, determining context of the system and facility operation associated with the detected system and facility event, and determining whether to forward the detected system and facility event to an event subscriber based on the context of the system and facility operation and the plurality of predefined event subscription rules.
