Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for managing events impacting information technology systems lack consistency, leading to confusion and frustration due to dispersed event information, inaccessibility, and incomplete availability.

Innovation Solution

A distributed event management system with integrated modules and a centralized database that captures, manages, and reports events, facilitating communication, analysis, and follow-up actions, ensuring all event information is hosted at a single location and accessible via various devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If event information is stored in multiple applications, then information can be accessed from different locations, but information becomes dispersed and difficult to manage consistently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility from different locationsVSAvoidinformation dispersion
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates event information from multiple applications into a single centralized database, merging previously dispersed information sources into one unified location that maintains accessibility while eliminating information scattering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The centralized database serves as a universal access point for all event information, allowing multiple users and applications to access the same standardized data through a single interface, providing both centralization and multi-location access

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

2Quantity of substance

If event management is conducted across multiple applications, then comprehensive event data can be collected, but response consistency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive event dataVSAvoidresponse consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges event management functions into a single centralized platform that collects comprehensive event data while enforcing consistent response procedures, eliminating the variability that arises from distributed management across multiple applications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The centralized system implements standardized feedback loops and monitoring mechanisms that ensure consistent response actions are taken across all events, providing reliable and uniform event management while maintaining comprehensive data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Quantity of substance

If event information is distributed across multiple systems, then data completeness can be maintained, but information accessibility worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidinformation accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines complete event data from multiple sources into a single centralized database that maintains full data completeness while dramatically improving accessibility, allowing users to access all event information from one location rather than navigating multiple systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

An event management system initializes an event associated with a process. Corrective actions are executed to resolve the event. The corrective actions are monitored after the event is resolved to continuously improve the process.
