Relationship Graph for Information Processing System Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face difficulties in effectively outputting the state of data transmission relationships between elements, as they primarily focus on individual process monitoring rather than comprehensive system-wide relationships.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that generate and output a relationship graph based on event logs, representing processes as vertices and data transmission relationships as edges, providing a visual representation of the system's state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If individual process monitoring is performed using static and dynamic attributes, then process-level detection capability is improved, but system-wide data transmission relationship visibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines individual process monitoring data with data transmission relationship information into a unified graph representation. The graph integrates process vertices with transmission edges, merging previously separate monitoring dimensions into a single comprehensive structure that preserves both process-level details and system-wide relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of visualization by representing processes and transmissions in graph space rather than traditional tabular or hierarchical formats. This dimensional transformation enables simultaneous display of process states and transmission relationships, overcoming the limitation of flat monitoring approaches.
2Loss of information
If comprehensive system monitoring is implemented, then system state visibility is improved, but monitoring complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monitoring system into distinct functional components: event log generation, graph construction, and graph output. Each component handles a specific aspect of the monitoring task, reducing overall system complexity while enabling comprehensive monitoring through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an event log as an intermediary data structure between process monitoring and graph generation. This intermediary layer standardizes information flow and simplifies the transformation from raw process data to visual graph representations, reducing complexity in the monitoring pipeline.
3Measurement precision
If only parent-child process relationships are tracked, then process hierarchy detection is improved, but data transmission relationship detection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal graph structure that serves multiple monitoring functions simultaneously. The same graph representation that displays process hierarchy also displays data transmission relationships, eliminating the need for separate tracking mechanisms and preserving both types of information in a unified model.
