Network Abnormality Monitoring via Multi-Route Terminal Diagnosis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems struggle to accurately distinguish between terminal abnormalities and network abnormalities, often misidentifying issues due to interference from other network devices, leading to delayed and incorrect failure identification.
Innovation Solution
An abnormality monitoring method and system that transmits requests through multiple communication routes, receives responses, and generates abnormality information based on these responses to identify specific terminals or routes with issues, using measured values and device information to differentiate between terminal and network problems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional monitoring systems are used, then monitoring coverage is provided, but measurement precision deteriorates due to inability to distinguish terminal abnormalities from network abnormalities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the communication path into multiple independent routes (first communication route and second communication route) with different characteristics. By monitoring each route separately and comparing their states, the system can precisely identify whether an abnormality exists in the terminal or in the network, resolving the ambiguity of conventional single-route monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary monitoring mechanism that uses multiple communication routes as mediators to indirectly probe the terminal and network state. By analyzing the response characteristics through these intermediary routes, the system can determine the exact location of abnormalities without directly inspecting the terminal or network infrastructure.
2Loss of time
If conventional monitoring approaches are used, then basic monitoring is achieved, but time consumption increases due to delayed failure identification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous monitoring of communication routes through periodic transmission of monitoring signals. This continuous action allows the system to detect abnormalities as they occur rather than after failures manifest, significantly reducing identification time while maintaining high accuracy through ongoing state verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs feedback mechanisms where the monitoring device analyzes response signals from terminals and uses this information to determine abnormality locations. The feedback loop continuously refines the monitoring process, enabling rapid and accurate failure identification by comparing expected versus actual response characteristics.
3Measurement precision
If single communication route monitoring is used, then system complexity is low, but measurement precision deteriorates due to interference from other network devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring function into multiple independent communication routes, each capable of providing specific diagnostic information. This segmentation allows the system to isolate and analyze traffic patterns specific to each route, filtering out interference from other network devices while maintaining manageable complexity through modular route management.

AI summary
An abnormality monitoring method is an abnormality monitoring method using a monitoring device communicably connected to a plurality of terminals via a network. The abnormality monitoring method includes: transmitting a request to a plurality of terminals; receiving one or more responses respectively transmitted in response to the request by one or more terminals among the plurality of terminals; determining, based on the one or more responses, whether or not an abnormality has occurred in at least one of (i) a first terminal of the plurality of terminals or (ii) a first communication route of the plurality of communication routes; generating abnormality information indicating that an abnormality has occurred in at least one of the first terminal or the first communication route when the abnormality has occurred; and presenting the abnormality information generated.
