Data Feed Aggregator for Management System Information Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current management systems face inefficiencies in communicating management-related data to users, as users must constantly monitor consoles for alerts and may receive irrelevant information, leading to wasteful communication and inefficient data processing.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a data feed system where management-related data is categorized by type and criteria, allowing users to subscribe to specific data feeds through an aggregator, which collects and renders relevant data for viewing, and utilizing tagging to simplify searching and processing of management data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If management systems surface all problems to users through console or email notifications, then users receive complete information about system issues, but users receive irrelevant information they do not care about, leading to wasteful communication
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates relevant information from the complete set of management data by allowing users to selectively subscribe to specific data feeds based on their interests and needs. Users can filter out irrelevant information while receiving critical alerts, thus eliminating communication waste while preserving information relevance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments management data into multiple categorized data feeds (e.g., infrastructure alerts, application performance, security events) that users can independently subscribe to. This segmentation enables users to receive only the specific types of information relevant to their roles, reducing irrelevant communication while maintaining complete coverage of needed information.
2Reliability
If users must constantly monitor consoles for alerts, then users can immediately detect problems, but users experience inefficient data processing and increased workload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automated data feed subscriptions where users configure their own information delivery preferences once, and the system automatically delivers relevant alerts and updates without requiring users to continuously monitor consoles. This maintains reliable problem detection while eliminating the need for constant user attention and manual data processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables users to perform preliminary actions by pre-configuring their subscription preferences and filtering criteria before problems occur. The system then automatically processes and delivers only relevant information, eliminating the need for users to continuously check consoles and manually filter information, thus improving productivity while maintaining reliable detection.
3Loss of information
If management systems provide all management data to users, then users have access to complete information, but users face difficult searching and processing of large volumes of data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments comprehensive management data into multiple organized data feeds with distinct categories, types, and criteria. Users subscribe to specific segments relevant to their needs, receiving complete information within their domain of interest while avoiding the burden of searching through all possible data. The segmented structure enables easy navigation and processing of subscribed content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces data feeds and aggregators as intermediaries between the management system and users. These intermediaries pre-process, organize, and deliver information in a structured format that is easy to search and process, eliminating the need for users to directly navigate and search through raw management data while ensuring information completeness within subscribed categories.
4Ease of operation
If email notifications push all data to users, then users receive information without needing to check consoles, but users receive irrelevant information they do not care about
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the specific information relevant to each user's interests from the complete set of management data before pushing it via email notifications. Users configure their subscriptions to receive only the types of alerts and updates they care about, eliminating irrelevant information while maintaining ease of access through automated delivery to their email inboxes.
Data Source
AI summary
Management related data is provided to a user. Tags are attached to the provided management related data upon user instruction. A tag is way to identify a piece of management. The tags that correspond with the management related data are stored in a database of the management system.
