GUI Aspect Avatars for Faster Data Processing System Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing complex system aspects for data processing systems is challenging due to the complexity of interpreting system data, which can lead to inefficient response times and increased cognitive burden for users.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that utilize a graphical user interface (GUI) to present system data in a more digestible format by dividing it into distinct aspects, each represented by an avatar, allowing users to interact and select remedial actions while simulating potential downstream impacts using a digital twin.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If system data is presented in detailed technical format, then information completeness is improved, but user cognitive burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments complex system data into distinct aspect categories (performance, capacity, recoverability, cost) represented by unique avatars. Each avatar groups related system parameters and metrics, allowing users to focus on specific aspects rather than overwhelming detailed data. This segmentation maintains information completeness while reducing cognitive burden through organized presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces avatars as intermediary elements between the user and raw system data. Each avatar acts as a mediator that translates complex technical metrics into visually distinct, easily identifiable representations. Users interact with avatars rather than raw data, reducing cognitive burden while maintaining access to complete system information through the avatar interface.
2Reliability
If comprehensive system monitoring is implemented, then system management quality is improved, but response time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments comprehensive system monitoring into discrete aspect categories, each represented by an avatar. This segmentation allows users to quickly identify and respond to specific system issues without processing entire system datasets. Critical aspects can be monitored and addressed independently, improving response time while maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization of system data into aspect categories and avatar representations before user interaction. System metrics are pre-grouped and visually coded by aspect type, allowing users to immediately grasp system status without analysis time. This preliminary structuring enables rapid response to system events while maintaining comprehensive monitoring.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and systems for managing operation of a data processing system are disclosed. To manage the operation of the data processing system, a user of the data processing system may interact with a graphical user interface to view system data for the data processing system. The system data may indicate a status of different aspects of the operation of the data processing system. Each aspect may be associated with an avatar on a first graphical representation and the user may select an avatar to view additional information regarding the avatar. Selecting an avatar may generate a second graphical representation including potential remedial actions that a user may select to modify the operation of the data processing system.
