Centralized Computing Means for In-House Network Troubleshooting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing troubleshooting methods for in-house networks are limited by their inability to efficiently manage and coordinate multiple networks supported by different service operators, leading to sub-optimal problem resolution and increased costs due to manual interventions and technician dispatches.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a service operator server to collect and process in-house network parameters, sending them to a computing means for determining a coordination strategy, which then informs and reconfigures involved networks to resolve issues, enabling centralized dynamic management and coordination across multiple service providers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual troubleshooting methods are used for in-house networks, then existing systems can operate with simple architecture, but problem resolution efficiency deteriorates and operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
A centralized computing means is introduced as an intermediary between service operator servers and in-house networks. This computing means receives network parameters from servers, determines coordination strategies, and sends reconfiguration instructions back, enabling automated troubleshooting without requiring direct complex interactions between all network components
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automated self-troubleshooting by having the computing means automatically analyze network parameters, determine coordination strategies, and execute reconfiguration actions without manual intervention. The service operator servers automatically collect and transmit parameters, and the system autonomously resolves conflicts between multiple in-house networks
2Extent of automation
If centralized coordination mechanism is implemented for multiple in-house networks, then automated problem resolution is enabled, but system complexity and initial setup requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The automated troubleshooting system is segmented into distinct functional components: service operator servers that collect network parameters, a centralized computing means that analyzes data and determines strategies, and execution mechanisms that implement reconfiguration. This segmentation allows each component to perform its function independently, reducing overall system complexity while enabling automation
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized computing means serves multiple functions: receiving network parameters from different service operator servers, analyzing conflicts between multiple in-house networks, determining coordination strategies, and sending reconfiguration instructions. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single coordinated entity
