Solution Overview

Problem

Computing systems often struggle to identify and provide access to relevant computing events, leading to inadequate representation and management of these events.

Innovation Solution

A computer system that identifies a set of computing events corresponding to a specific category by matching event categories with a list maintained by a third-party server, and provides access to representations of these events through an interface transmitted to associated computing devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a computing system tracks computing events using internal categorization methods, then the system can maintain simple event tracking logic, but the system fails to identify relevant computing events and provide proper access to their representations

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveidentification accuracy of computing eventsVSAvoidcomplexity of event matching system

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a third-party server as an intermediary that maintains a comprehensive list of event categories. Instead of building and maintaining their own category lists, computing systems query this external intermediary to obtain accurate category classifications for computing events, thereby improving identification accuracy without significantly increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The third-party server provides a universal category list that can be used across multiple different computing systems and contexts. This universal resource allows various systems to benefit from improved event identification accuracy without each system needing to independently maintain comprehensive category taxonomies

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If the system queries a third-party server for event category lists, then the system achieves accurate event identification and representation access, but the system increases network dependency and query overhead

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of event category matchingVSAvoidtime for category list queries

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by caching event category lists locally after retrieving them from the third-party server. This allows the system to have accurate category matching capability while reducing the frequency of network queries, thereby minimizing time loss from repeated queries while maintaining reliable event identification

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
