Network Device Event Detection and Transmission Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in reducing processing load on devices while transmitting event logs to servers, as large amounts of information can lead to high communication and processing loads, and previous solutions that group errors to reduce data transmission compromise the ease of handling information on the server side.
Innovation Solution
A network device with a detection unit, management unit, determination unit, generation unit, and transmission unit that identifies and transmits only necessary information linked to detected events, using attribute information to uniquely identify events, thereby reducing processing load while maintaining ease of information handling on the server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If all event log details are transmitted to the server for easy handling and analysis, then the ease of operation on the server side is improved, but the processing load on the device and communication load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The event log information is segmented into essential identification details and unnecessary detailed information. Only the essential identification details are transmitted to the server, while the device retains and processes the complete information locally. This segmentation reduces communication load and device processing requirements while preserving server-side analytical capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and transmits only the necessary identification information from event logs to the server, leaving the complete detailed information to be processed and stored locally on the device. This extraction approach reduces the amount of data transmitted and processed by the device, while still providing the server with sufficient information for effective event management and analysis.
2Device complexity
If error information is grouped to reduce communication frequency and data amount, then the processing load on the device is reduced, but the ease of handling information on the server deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs preliminary filtering and identification of event log details before transmission, pre-processing the information to extract only the essential identification elements. This preliminary action reduces the burden on both the device (less data to manage) and the server (receives structured, ready-to-analyze information), avoiding the need to group errors which would compromise server-side handling ease.
3Measurement precision
If detailed event information is transmitted to enable comprehensive server analysis, then the measurement precision of event analysis is improved, but the communication load and data transmission volume increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential identification information from event logs for transmission to the server. This extraction ensures that the transmitted data contains sufficient precision for effective event analysis and management on the server side, while minimizing the quantity of data transmitted through the network.
Solution Approach 2:
Event log information is segmented into identification-critical details and non-essential details. Only the identification-critical segment is transmitted to the server, maintaining measurement precision for event analysis while reducing communication load. The device retains the complete segmented information for local reference and further processing if needed.

AI summary
A network device including a detection unit that detects an event includes a communication setting managing unit that manages notification settings; an event collecting unit that, in the case in which notification information linked to the event detected by the detection unit is present, determines whether or not each of the details of the notification information is a notification target in accordance with the notification settings and generates a message for each of the details that are notification targets by assigning attribute information linked to the detail or the event; and an event transmitting unit that transmits the generated one or more messages to a management server, and, in the case in which it is determined that a plurality of details corresponding to the notification information linked to the detected event are determined to be the notification targets in accordance with the notification settings, information that can be used for uniquely identifying the event as a part of the attribute information is assigned to each of the plurality of messages generated for each detail.
