Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical incident response processes with automated computational systems. Machine learning algorithms substitute human analysts in performing data analysis, pattern recognition, and solution retrieval tasks, transforming manual operations into automated computational processes that increase speed while managing complexity through algorithmic efficiency.

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

2Measurement precision

If machine learning processes are used for automated tagging and pattern identification, then measurement precision and automation extent are improved, but computational resources and time are consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekeyword tagging accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing incident data and pre-training machine learning models with historical incident data before actual incident response is needed. The machine learning models are trained in advance on labeled training data, so when real incidents occur, the system can quickly apply the pre-trained models for rapid and accurate keyword tagging and pattern identification without performing heavy computation during the incident response itself.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The incident response system implements multi-functionality by integrating and processing data from multiple diverse sources including incident management systems, monitoring tools, logs, and support tickets through a single unified platform. The system handles various data formats and sources uniformly, applying the same machine learning processes regardless of the data origin, which manages integration complexity while achieving comprehensive information coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
