Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for monitoring abnormal fluctuations in test data, such as website traffic, often fail to detect abrupt changes in a timely manner, leading to potential faults and losses, as they rely on static thresholds or historical comparisons without advanced statistical analysis.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that acquire test data, perform fitting calculations to estimate data fluctuations, and generate data fluctuation values by comparing current and historical differences, using normal or exponential distributions to characterize and output these fluctuations, with optional warning triggers based on preset thresholds.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If static thresholds or simple historical comparison methods are used for monitoring test data, then the monitoring system is simple to implement, but the accuracy and timeliness of abnormal fluctuation detection deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring system complexityVSAvoidabnormal fluctuation detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the monitoring approach by changing from static threshold parameters to dynamic statistical parameters (mean, standard deviation) calculated from historical data. This allows the system to adapt to varying data patterns while maintaining detection accuracy, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate statistical calculations (fitting values, difference values, standard scores) as mediators between raw test data and abnormality detection. These intermediaries transform complex data analysis into a systematic process that improves detection accuracy without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If advanced statistical analysis methods are used to improve abnormal fluctuation detection accuracy, then detection precision improves, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormal fluctuation detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data analysis process into distinct computational stages: data collection, fitting calculation, difference calculation, and standard score calculation. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently and enables efficient processing by breaking down complex computations into manageable steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating statistical parameters (mean, standard deviation) from historical data and storing them for quick retrieval. This preliminary processing reduces the computational burden during real-time monitoring, maintaining high detection accuracy while reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If fitting calculations and statistical distributions are used to characterize data fluctuations, then the accuracy of fluctuation characterization improves, but the computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefluctuation characterization accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically calculating and updating statistical parameters from the test data itself without requiring external intervention or pre-configured complex models. The fitting calculations use the data's own historical patterns to generate prediction models, reducing the need for external computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
