Parallel Log Readout for Intrusion Detection Systems

The patent divides the readout process into multiple parallel readout processes, each responsible for reading different time periods of log entries. Instead of using a single sequential readout process, the system creates multiple independent readout processes that operate simultaneously, thereby increasing the overall logging and evaluation speed without overwhelming the interface.

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing multiple readout processes and having them ready to read log entries as soon as they become available. Instead of waiting for the connection to be established and then starting the readout process, the system prepares the readout mechanisms in advance, reducing the delay caused by connection establishment time.

The patent segments the log entry reading task by implementing multiple read pointers, each associated with different time periods. The first read pointer reads historical log entries while the second read pointer reads current log entries simultaneously. This segmentation allows parallel reading of different log entry types, increasing readout speed while managing complexity through clear separation of reading tasks.
