Digital Computer Log Recording System with Level-Based Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional digital computers face challenges in efficiently logging and storing operation information due to excessive data volume, leading to increased memory requirements and costs, which can result in incomplete recording of log information.
Innovation Solution
A digital computer system with an operation execution unit and a historical information recording unit that extracts and records operations based on log levels, allowing for selective recording of required information, reducing data volume and memory needs.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all operations are logged together with draft information, then complete log information is recorded, but the amount of required memory becomes massive and increases total cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments log information into multiple categories (error logs, warning logs, information logs, debug logs) and implements separate storage areas for each category. This segmentation allows the system to store only necessary log types rather than all possible operations, reducing overall memory requirements while maintaining reliability for critical log types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and stores only essential log information (such as error messages, warning messages, and critical operational data) separately from draft information. By taking out only the necessary log components and storing them in dedicated memory areas, the system avoids storing excessive data while ensuring complete recording of important operations.
2Quantity of substance
If recording of log information is restricted uniformly to reduce information, then memory usage is reduced, but even the log information to be recorded may not be recorded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different recording strategies to different log categories based on their importance. Critical logs (errors, warnings) are stored with high priority and retained longer, while less critical logs (informational, debug) are stored with lower priority and may be overwritten sooner. This local quality approach ensures required log information is always recorded while optimizing memory usage for each category.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic log management where the system can adjust which log types are recorded based on operational conditions, user preferences, and available memory space. The recording priority and retention period for each log type can be dynamically changed, allowing the system to maintain completeness of required information while adapting memory usage to current needs.

AI summary
A main controller stores levels and information to be stored in accordance with the levels. An operation screen is used to enter operation information for operating a complex machine 1. A scanner engine and a plotter engine execute operations based on the operation information. A memory records only information on operations in a level corresponding to the entered level information among the operations performed by the complex machine.
