Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional data analysis to multi-dimensional analysis by grouping multiple AI models that analyze different dimensions of system data. Each model processes specific monitoring items (CPU usage, memory usage, network traffic, etc.) and their results are combined to form a comprehensive anomaly detection decision, thereby improving detection accuracy while maintaining operational simplicity through automated grouping and result aggregation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the anomaly detection system into multiple independent AI models, each specialized in detecting specific types of anomalies or analyzing particular monitoring items. These segmented models are then grouped based on their detection targets and combination conditions, allowing the system to achieve comprehensive coverage while maintaining modular simplicity and ease of management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal model grouping mechanism that can accommodate multiple different AI models with various detection capabilities. The grouping system serves multiple functions: organizing models by detection target, determining combination conditions, aggregating detection results, and generating comprehensive anomaly decisions. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle diverse anomaly detection scenarios through a single unified framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If detection results from multiple models are combined, then comprehensive determination is achieved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining model groups and their combination conditions before actual anomaly detection occurs. Models are pre-grouped based on their detection targets and relationships, and combination rules are established in advance. During runtime, the system only needs to execute the pre-planned aggregation logic, significantly reducing processing time while still achieving comprehensive anomaly determination through multi-model result combination.
