Air Conditioner Log Analytics for Turnaround Time Trends
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for collecting and utilizing log information from consumer electronic devices, such as air conditioners, are not yet practical for providing effective cloud services, as they lack the ability to generate and display meaningful data for users, limiting user access to device performance insights and maintenance information.
Innovation Solution
A data processing system that collects log information from air conditioners through a network and generates display data showing the trend of turnaround time and power consumption, using preset, outdoor, and indoor temperature data, and provides maintenance information based on this analysis for authenticated users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If detailed log information is collected and processed, then user insights into device performance are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant information from the collected log data, such as turnaround time trends and performance metrics, while discarding unnecessary detailed data. This extraction approach provides users with meaningful performance insights without requiring the system to process and store all raw log information, thereby reducing complexity.
2Ease of operation
If turnaround time trend data is provided to users, then user empowerment for maintenance decisions is improved, but data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary processing of log information in advance, calculating turnaround times and generating trend data before the user requests it. This preliminary action prepares the data for display, so when the user needs maintenance information, it is already processed and ready, reducing the processing burden at the moment of user interaction.
Data Source
AI summary
A data providing method is carried out by a computer (460) built in a data processing system (1) which is designed to collect log information from electronic devices through a network (30) and provide services based on that log information for authenticated users. The data providing method includes: receiving an air conditioner (102a, 102b)'s log information through the network; generating display data by reference to pieces of information which are included in the air conditioner's log information and which indicate (i) a preset temperature of the air conditioner, (ii) an outdoor temperature outside a living space in which the air conditioner is installed, and (iii) an indoor temperature of the living space in which the air conditioner is installed, the display data representing a trend of change of a turnaround time that indicates how long it takes from when the air conditioner starts operating until the indoor temperature reaches the preset temperature; and providing the display data for an authenticated user's display terminal (130a, 130b).
