Container File Recovery for Business Terminal Abnormalities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing business terminals cannot be quickly and easily recovered for use as alternatives when they fail, as they require time and effort to set up necessary application software on alternative machines.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring device with a connection unit, detection unit, acquisition unit, and processing unit that detects abnormalities, acquires and installs container files with application software on alternative terminals, enabling rapid recovery by connecting devices and turning on power without needing to configure software settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a terminal fails and needs to be recovered using an alternative machine, then the user can obtain a business terminal by connecting a device to a general-purpose terminal, but the user cannot quickly use the alternative machine because necessary application software must be installed, which takes time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The container file is prepared in advance with all necessary application software and configurations packaged inside. When terminal recovery is needed, the pre-prepared container file is simply copied to the alternative terminal and executed, eliminating the need for time-consuming software installation and configuration steps during the recovery process
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of installing software individually on the alternative terminal, the entire software environment is copied in the form of a container file. This container file contains all necessary application software, libraries, and configuration data, which are copied to and executed on the alternative terminal to rapidly restore business functionality
2Reliability
If traditional software installation methods are used on alternative terminals, then the necessary application software can be installed, but the process requires significant time and effort from maintenance personnel
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple application software, libraries, and configuration files are merged into a single container file. This consolidation allows all necessary software components to be transferred and deployed as one unified package, simplifying the recovery process from multiple individual installation steps to a single copy-and-execute operation
Solution Approach 2:
The container file is designed to be self-contained and self-executing. When copied to the alternative terminal, it automatically sets up the software environment and configures necessary parameters without requiring manual intervention from maintenance personnel, thereby reducing both time and complexity of the recovery process

AI summary
According to one embodiment, there is provided a monitoring device for a terminal including a connection unit to which at least one device is able to be connected and mounted with a container file storing application software for controlling a business to be performed by using the device connected to the connection unit. The monitoring device includes a detection unit, an acquisition unit, and a processing unit. The detection unit detects an abnormality in the terminal. The acquisition unit acquires the container file mounted on the terminal in which the abnormality is detected. The processing unit installs the acquired container file on an alternative terminal.
