Solution Overview

Problem

Existing operations management systems face delays in detecting faults across multiple analyzed systems due to sequential analysis, leading to delayed countermeasures when using invariant analysis methods.

Innovation Solution

An operations management system that includes correlation model storage, analysis order management, and order control mechanisms to prioritize fault detection across multiple systems based on performance value correlations and abnormality scores, allowing for real-time updates in detection order.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If one analysis apparatus carries out invariant analysis sequentially for each of multiple analyzed systems, then investment cost is reduced, but fault detection delay increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of analysis apparatusesVSAvoidfault detection delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the analysis work into segments by distributing multiple analyzed systems across multiple analysis apparatuses. Each apparatus handles a subset of systems simultaneously, transforming the single-sequential-process into multiple-parallel-processes, thereby reducing total fault detection time while maintaining cost efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic allocation of analysis tasks where the analysis apparatus can flexibly adjust which systems are analyzed in each time period based on detected abnormality scores. Systems with higher abnormality scores are prioritized for immediate analysis, creating a dynamic response mechanism that reduces detection delay for critical systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Device complexity

If analysis is performed sequentially for multiple systems, then device complexity is reduced, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis system configurationVSAvoidfault detection speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes each analysis apparatus universal by enabling it to analyze multiple different analyzed systems. The apparatus can dynamically assign and execute analysis tasks for any system in its managed set, allowing one apparatus to perform multiple functions across different systems, thereby improving productivity without proportionally increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent ensures continuous fault detection by having analysis apparatus operate continuously across multiple time periods. Instead of completing all analysis for one system before moving to the next, the apparatus continuously cycles through analyzing different systems in different time periods, maintaining uninterrupted monitoring and improving overall detection speed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
