Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automation technologies are applied in network system operation and maintenance, then operation and maintenance efficiency is improved, but the complexity of level division and automation evaluation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network system operation and maintenance process into multiple distinct scenarios (fault management, configuration management, performance management, etc.), and further divides each scenario into specific tasks with defined automation levels. This segmentation transforms the complex overall system into manageable modular components that can be evaluated and improved independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces quantifiable parameters to describe automation levels, including automation degree (0-1 scale), task completion rate, time consumption, and resource utilization. By changing the evaluation from qualitative to quantitative parameters, the system enables precise measurement and comparison of automation effectiveness across different scenarios and tasks.
2Measurement precision
If automation level evaluation is implemented in network system operation and maintenance, then automation degree is quantified, but the complexity of evaluation indicators and data collection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation system is segmented into scenario-level evaluation and task-level evaluation layers. Each layer has its own set of indicators and data collection requirements, allowing the complex evaluation process to be broken down into manageable steps that can be implemented progressively.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs a universal evaluation framework that can be applied across multiple operation and maintenance scenarios (fault management, configuration management, performance management, etc.). The same evaluation structure and indicator types are reused across different scenarios, reducing the overall complexity despite the breadth of coverage.
3Measurement precision
If detailed operation and maintenance parameters are collected for automation evaluation, then evaluation accuracy is improved, but data collection and processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes evaluation indicator definitions, data collection requirements, and processing methods in advance for each scenario and task. By preparing the evaluation framework beforehand with pre-defined parameters and thresholds, the actual evaluation process requires minimal real-time processing, significantly reducing data processing time while maintaining high accuracy.

AI summary
A network system level division method and an apparatus. The method may include: obtaining an operation and maintenance parameter of a network system in an operation and maintenance scenario, where the operation and maintenance parameter is used to represent operation and maintenance performance of the network system in the operation and maintenance scenario; and determining an automation level of the network system in the operation and maintenance scenario based on the operation and maintenance parameter of the network system in the operation and maintenance scenario, where the automation level of the network system in the operation and maintenance scenario is used to represent an automatic operation and maintenance degree of the network system in the operation and maintenance scenario. In this way, level division of automation degrees of the network system in a specific operation and maintenance scenario is implemented.
