Solution Overview

Problem

In enterprise network environments, existing methods for creating virtual war rooms are manual and time-consuming, often initiated after computing issues have already affected a large number of users, hindering timely resolution of business-critical operations.

Innovation Solution

An autonomous agent generates virtual war rooms based on performance metrics and health thresholds, automatically selecting relevant parties via social media networks, facilitating efficient communication and collaboration across different locations and time zones.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual methods are used to create virtual war rooms, then the process allows human control and customization, but it is time-consuming and delays issue resolution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanual controlVSAvoidtime to create virtual war room
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures virtual war room templates with default settings, participant roles, and communication channels before issues occur. When an issue is detected, the system instantly deploys a pre-prepared war room structure, eliminating the time-consuming manual setup phase while retaining customization through pre-defined templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects computing resource issues, selects relevant parties based on predefined criteria, and creates virtual war rooms without human intervention. The automation handles participant invitation, conference room allocation, and initial message distribution, freeing operators from manual tasks while maintaining controlled deployment through configurable rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automated agent creates virtual war rooms, then the speed of creation is improved, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of virtual war room creationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The autonomous agent serves multiple functions: monitoring computing resource health, detecting issues, selecting relevant parties, creating virtual war rooms, and managing communications. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single integrated platform, achieving high speed without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses configurable parameters and thresholds to control automation behavior. By adjusting sensitivity settings, participant selection criteria, and war room templates, the system adapts to different organizational needs without requiring structural changes, managing complexity through parameter tuning rather than architectural redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If messages are delivered to all parties in a virtual war room, then complete information sharing is achieved, but information overload and confusion increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation overload
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different message delivery strategies to different parties based on their roles, expertise, and relevance to the issue. Critical alerts go to on-call personnel, detailed technical information goes to engineers, and summary notifications go to managers. This localized information distribution ensures each party receives appropriate content without overwhelming anyone with irrelevant data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The message stream is segmented into different channels and priority levels. Time-sensitive alerts are separated from informational updates, technical details are separated from executive summaries, and party-specific information is routed to appropriate recipients. This segmentation maintains information completeness while preventing any single party from being overwhelmed by all messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An example method to manage delivery of messages in an enterprise network environment involves receiving a message from a user of the enterprise network environment via a social media network. The example method involves identifying an occupational position of the user and scanning the message for at least one of identifiers. The example method involves determining whether the message includes at least one of the identifiers. When the message does not include at least one of the identifiers, the example method involves delivering the message to at least one of a first plurality of users of an enterprise entity via the social media network, the first plurality of users characterized by a same occupational position as the user. When the message includes at least one of the identifiers, the example method involves identifying a different enterprise entity including a second plurality of users associated with at least one of the identifiers, at least one of the second plurality of users characterized by a different occupational position as the user. When the message includes at least one of the identifiers, the example method involves delivering the message to at least one of the second plurality of users via the social media network.
