Solution Overview

Problem

Existing IDE systems face inefficiencies in diagnosing errors during component compilation, requiring manual searches and administrator intervention, which delays resolution and complicates identifying responsible developers due to multiple parties involved.

Innovation Solution

An integrated development environment system that automatically identifies erroneous components and provides diagnosis solutions by mapping error identifiers to stored solutions, enabling direct communication with developer terminals for further assistance if needed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual error diagnosis methods (online search, email to administrator) are used, then developers can obtain error information, but the problem resolving efficiency is low and response time is delayed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror diagnosis capabilityVSAvoidproblem resolving efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic error diagnosis by having the IDE terminal autonomously capture error information, identify erroneous components, and obtain diagnosis solutions without requiring manual intervention from developers or administrators. The terminal self-services the entire error reporting workflow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where error information flows automatically from the IDE terminal to the platform server, which returns diagnosis solutions to the terminal. This automated feedback mechanism eliminates manual searching and email correspondence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If administrators handle error emails, then error reports are received, but administrators are unfamiliar with problems and need to forward emails, resulting in untimely responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror information collectionVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The platform server acts as an intermediary between the IDE terminal and developers. It receives error information directly from terminals, processes it through automated component identification, and delivers solutions back to terminals, eliminating the administrator forwarding step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary error analysis by automatically identifying erroneous components before human intervention is needed. The platform server pre-processes error information and prepares diagnosis solutions in advance, reducing response time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If project packages involve multiple parties (chip developers, container developers), then comprehensive development support is provided, but it is difficult to pinpoint responsible developers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-party development supportVSAvoiderroneous component identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the project package into distinct components (application component, container component, chip component) and identifies which specific component contains the error. This segmentation enables precise localization of problems within multi-party collaborations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The error identification mechanism applies local quality analysis by examining specific components individually rather than treating the entire project package uniformly. The system determines the exact location and nature of errors within particular components, enabling targeted diagnosis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for error handling in an integrated development environment (IDE) are provided. One of the methods, applicable to an IDE server, includes: sending a project package comprising a plurality of components supporting development of an application to an IDE terminal in response to a query of the IDE terminal; receiving a first error identifier indicating an error that occurs to the project package from the IDE terminal; determining an erroneous component where the error occurs from the plurality of components in the project package based on the first error identifier; determining a diagnosis solution corresponding to the first error identifier and the erroneous component by looking up mapping relationships stored on the server between error identifiers and diagnosis solutions associated with the plurality of components; and returning the determined diagnosis solution to the IDE terminal.
