Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data analytics and visualization methods face challenges in efficiently processing random log and dump data due to the nature of the data and lack of interfaces providing intelligence for proper processing, leading to inefficient data mining and failure in capturing correct correlations between different data sets.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that generates inference reports for a predetermined dataset using a learning module, which cleanses the data with dictionaries, prioritizes, classifies, groups, and compares to identify insights, ultimately matching them to a solution dictionary for domain-based and service-based suggestions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional single-centric mining methodologies are used, then the processing is simpler, but the ability to capture correct correlations between different data sets is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrelation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data mining process into multiple specialized modules: learning module for pattern recognition, cleaning module for data preprocessing, priority mapping module for importance assessment, classifying module for categorization, grouping module for clustering, comparing module for correlation analysis, and report generation module for output. This segmentation allows each module to focus on specific aspects of data analysis, improving correlation accuracy while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts its processing approach based on the characteristics of the input data. The learning module continuously learns from data patterns, and the system adjusts its analysis depth, cleaning intensity, and correlation methods according to the specific requirements of each dataset, enabling reliable multi-perspective analysis without fixed complexity constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If static capability is applied to create interpretations and inferences, then the processing is faster, but clarity on end user expectations is not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser understandingVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the learning module continuously refines its understanding based on data patterns and user interactions. The comparing module provides feedback on correlation strengths, and the report generation module adapts its output based on identified insights, ensuring that the final results align with end-user expectations while maintaining efficient processing through learned patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning module performs preliminary data preprocessing and the learning module conducts initial pattern recognition before the main analysis. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance, reducing the time required for subsequent interpretation steps while ensuring that the final output meets user expectations through pre-established data quality and pattern frameworks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If efficient processing of random log and dump data is attempted, then the data analysis speed increases, but the lack of intelligence interface causes processing failures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing speedVSAvoidprocessing reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The learning module acts as an intelligent intermediary between the raw random log and dump data and the analysis processes. It learns the specific patterns and characteristics of the input data format, translating unstructured data into a processed form that subsequent modules can efficiently analyze. This intermediary layer enables fast processing of random data formats while maintaining reliability through learned data understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The cleaning module performs preliminary data validation and standardization on random log and dump data before they enter the main processing pipeline. This preliminary action identifies and corrects format inconsistencies, ensuring that subsequent high-speed processing operations work with reliable, standardized data, thus maintaining processing reliability at high speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
