Communication Device Selective Log Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing techniques for transmitting log information from communication devices to external servers face challenges in managing the increased load caused by repetitive communications, which can obscure less frequent but important events due to the large number of logs from repetitive events, leading to reduced visibility and increased server load.
Innovation Solution
A communication device is configured to selectively transmit only high-priority logs to an external device while omitting logs from repetitive events, using a lower limit value to determine the severity threshold for log transmission, thereby reducing server load and preventing less frequent events from being overshadowed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all logs including repetitive communication logs are transmitted to the external device, then complete log information is provided for analysis, but the load on the external device increases and important events may be obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes repetitive communication logs from the log information before transmission to the external device. The controller identifies logs corresponding to repetitive communications and excludes only these specific logs from transmission, while transmitting other non-repetitive logs that contain important event information. This selective extraction resolves the contradiction by eliminating the harmful repetitive data while preserving valuable log information.
2Loss of information
If all logs including repetitive communication logs are transmitted to the external device, then complete log information is provided for analysis, but the visibility of important events decreases due to blending with numerous repetitive logs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes repetitive communication logs from the log information before transmission, extracting only the harmful repetitive elements while preserving logs containing important events. This ensures that important events remain visible and detectable in the external device's log display without being obscured by numerous repetitive entries.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If repetitive communication logs are filtered out before transmission, then server load is reduced and event visibility is improved, but log information completeness is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent selectively extracts and removes only the harmful repetitive communication logs from the log information, while preserving all other non-repetitive logs that contain important event data. This selective filtering approach reduces server load and maintains event visibility without compromising the completeness of valuable log information.
4Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If repetitive communication logs are filtered out before transmission, then event visibility is improved, but the complexity of log processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controller within the communication device automatically performs the filtering of repetitive communication logs before transmission. This self-service approach eliminates the need for complex external processing mechanisms, as the filtering is handled internally by the device's own controller using stored repetition information, thereby improving event visibility without significantly increasing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A communication device may include: a communication interface for communication with a server on the Internet; a memory storing log information that indicates a list of logs of events occurring in the communication device; and a controller. The controller may be configured to: execute a predetermined communication with a specific server on the Internet via the communication interface; and execute a transmitting process for transmitting, to an external device different from the communication device, a log included in the log information stored in the memory, wherein in the transmitting process, a first-type log indicating a log of a first-type event is transmitted to the external device, in the transmitting process, a second-type log indicating a log of a second-type event is not transmitted to the external device, and the second-type event is the predetermined communication that is repeatedly executed.
