Solution Overview

Problem

Agentless computing systems lack self-detection and self-correction capabilities for errors, leading to extraneous graphics being displayed, which can obstruct intended output and hinder user interaction, especially since they often operate without human monitoring.

Innovation Solution

A management controller within the agentless system detects errors by comparing actual and intended graphics, using error templates and real-time analysis, and remedies them by executing specific actions to remove extraneous content, thereby ensuring uninterrupted display and interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If agentless systems operate without human monitoring, then system efficiency and automation are improved, but error detection and correction capabilities deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveautomationVSAvoiderror detection and correction
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-monitoring and self-correction of display errors through automated detection of extraneous graphics and execution of remediation actions, eliminating the need for human intervention while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors display output and compares actual graphics against expected content, using feedback loops to detect errors and trigger corrective actions automatically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If traditional human monitoring is used, then error detection capabilities are improved, but system efficiency and operational cost deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detectionVSAvoidsystem efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system monitors and corrects its own display errors automatically, replacing human monitoring operations while maintaining detection accuracy and improving overall system efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If extraneous graphics are displayed due to errors, then system functionality is maintained, but user interaction and information delivery deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem functionalityVSAvoidextraneous graphics obstruction
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system identifies and removes extraneous graphics elements from the display output, extracting only the harmful portions while preserving the intended functional content and information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system detects extraneous graphics through color analysis and uses visual differentiation to identify and isolate erroneous display elements for targeted removal

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for agentless error management by an agentless system. The agentless system can include a management processor and a memory that stores agentless management firmware. Execution of the firmware causes to obtain first graphic data corresponding to actual output graphics that are displayed via a display device. An error is detected in the actual output graphics. The error can indicate one or more differences between the actual output graphics and intended output graphics. The detected error can be addressed, such that it is remedied or attempted to be remedied by eliminating the differences and/or extraneous graphical content from the displayed data or actual output graphics.
