Solution Overview

Problem

Modern enterprises face challenges in managing and resolving error notifications across web-based application interfaces, requiring a system to assess errors and determine remediation steps efficiently to ensure seamless operation.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a processor and memory module that receives error indications, extracts information from internal and external sources, and initiates user interfaces for error resolution, including analysis of servers and communication with vendors as needed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If manual monitoring and error assessment is performed, then error resolution can be initiated, but the time required to identify and resolve errors increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror resolution timeVSAvoiderror assessment efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically extracting error information from multiple sources, analyzing server status, and generating resolution recommendations without requiring manual intervention. The error assessment tool autonomously processes error notifications, queries internal and external knowledge bases, and presents structured information to users to enable rapid resolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-extracting and storing error information, known errors, and resolution steps from multiple sources before actual error occurrence. When an error is detected, the system immediately queries pre-processed information from databases and knowledge bases, eliminating the need for real-time manual research and enabling faster resolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple monitors are deployed to manage applications, then application coverage increases, but the complexity of managing error notifications increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication monitoring coverageVSAvoidmonitor management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges information from multiple monitors and sources into a unified error assessment interface. Instead of requiring users to manually check multiple monitors, the system consolidates error notifications, server status, and resolution information into a single structured presentation, reducing the cognitive load and operational complexity of managing distributed monitoring systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The error assessment tool acts as an intermediary between multiple monitors and the user. It receives error notifications from various monitors, processes them through automated analysis, and presents consolidated information with recommended actions. This intermediary layer eliminates the need for users to directly manage multiple monitors while maintaining comprehensive application coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If detailed error information is extracted from multiple sources, then resolution accuracy improves, but the time to gather and process information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror information accuracyVSAvoidinformation extraction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-extracting, validating, and storing error information, known errors, and resolution steps from multiple sources into structured databases and knowledge bases. When an actual error occurs, the system queries this pre-processed information immediately, eliminating the time-consuming process of real-time data gathering while maintaining high accuracy through comprehensive pre-collected data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical information gathering with automated computer-based extraction and processing. Instead of requiring users to manually search through multiple sources, the system uses automated queries to databases, knowledge bases, and internal systems to extract and process error information, significantly reducing time while maintaining precision through systematic data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
