Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
IoT devices of the same type or similar types, due to differences in use environment, service age, frequency, and geographic location, often have varying performance and parameters, leading to insensitive alarms and potential safety hazards when uniform alarm rules are applied.
Innovation Solution
Configuring multiple groups of alarm rules for IoT devices based on usage characteristics, categorizing devices into usage categories, calculating correlations between alarm rules and categories, and storing corresponding relationships to dynamically configure appropriate alarm rules for newly added devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the same alarm rules are uniformly configured for IoT devices of the same type, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the alarm sensitivity deteriorates and safety hazards increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the homogeneous group of IoT devices into multiple usage categories based on usage characteristics such as service age, usage frequency, and geographic location. Different alarm rules are then configured for different usage categories, allowing the system to maintain ease of operation through automated categorization while improving alarm sensitivity by tailoring rules to specific device groups.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameters of alarm rules based on usage characteristics of IoT devices. By adjusting alarm thresholds and parameters according to device service age, usage frequency, and location, the system maintains ease of operation through automated parameter adjustment while significantly improving alarm sensitivity to detect actual device states accurately.
2Reliability
If different alarm rules are configured for each IoT device based on usage characteristics, then the alarm sensitivity is improved, but the device complexity and configuration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the system to automatically categorize IoT devices into usage categories and configure appropriate alarm rules without manual intervention. The system autonomously analyzes usage characteristics such as service age and usage frequency, then automatically applies the correct alarm rules, maintaining high alarm sensitivity while eliminating configuration complexity for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-defining multiple groups of alarm rules corresponding to different usage categories before devices need monitoring. The system预先 categorizes devices and configures appropriate alarm rules in advance, so when devices are added or characteristics change, the correct alarm rules are already in place, maintaining high sensitivity without increasing operational complexity.
3Ease of manufacture
If uniform alarm rules are applied to all IoT devices, then the configuration process is simplified, but the ability to detect actual device states deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by making alarm rule configuration adaptive and dynamic based on device usage characteristics. Instead of static uniform rules, the system dynamically adjusts alarm parameters according to device service age, usage frequency, and location, maintaining ease of configuration through automation while significantly improving the precision of device state detection.
