Solution Overview

Problem

Network operation and maintenance is complex and inefficient due to the dependency on administrator familiarity with network operation and maintenance systems, leading to increased difficulty and reduced efficiency, especially when multiple operations or instructions are required.

Innovation Solution

A large language model-based network operation and maintenance method that identifies user intentions from dialog messages, orchestrates tasks, and executes them automatically, reducing the need for manual interaction and simplifying the process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple network operation and maintenance systems are deployed with complex functions, then network operation and maintenance capability is enhanced, but operation complexity and difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork operation and maintenance capabilityVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A large language model serves as an intermediary between the administrator and multiple network operation and maintenance systems. The model receives natural language input from the administrator, automatically identifies the target system and required operations, and executes tasks without requiring the administrator to navigate complex system interfaces or understand technical details of each system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If administrators perform manual operations on multiple network operation and maintenance systems, then task execution is achieved, but time consumption and efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork operation and maintenance efficiencyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The large language model autonomously performs the complete workflow of receiving administrator requests, parsing intent, selecting appropriate network operation and maintenance systems, constructing execution parameters, and carrying out tasks. The system serves itself by automatically completing operations without requiring repeated manual intervention from the administrator across multiple systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The large language model is pre-trained with extensive knowledge about multiple network operation and maintenance systems, their functions, and operational procedures. This preliminary knowledge acquisition enables the model to quickly understand and execute diverse tasks without requiring administrators to spend time learning each system's specific operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If administrators need to enter multiple instructions to complete operation and maintenance tasks, then task completion is achieved, but operation procedure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion capabilityVSAvoidoperation procedure simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The large language model merges multiple discrete operation steps into a single unified natural language interaction. Instead of requiring administrators to separately access different systems and enter multiple instructions, the model consolidates the entire operation workflow into one simple command that it processes and executes autonomously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Measurement precision

If network operation and maintenance systems require extensive administrator familiarity, then system control precision is improved, but accessibility and ease of use are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem control precisionVSAvoidadministrator accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical interaction model (where administrators directly operate system interfaces and enter technical commands) with an intelligent language-based interaction model. The large language model translates natural language into precise system commands, maintaining accurate control while eliminating the need for administrators to have deep technical familiarity with system operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

This application discloses a large language model-based network operation and maintenance method and apparatus. In this method, a network operation and maintenance intention of a user is identified from a dialog message of the user by using a large language model, to establish, based on the network operation and maintenance intention, an operation and maintenance task that the user expects to execute on a network. After execution of the operation and maintenance task is completed, an execution result of the operation and maintenance task is provided for a client. In this process, the user only needs to provide the dialog message in a form of dialog, and does not need to interact with the client for a plurality of times. This simplifies an operation procedure for network operation and maintenance, and can improve network operation and maintenance efficiency.
