Relay Device Management System for Proactive Failure Prevention
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote management systems face challenges in detecting and preventing failures in relay devices within local networks, leading to potential system downtime and decreased operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A device management system that receives status information from relay devices, determines necessary instructions based on predetermined conditions, and transmits these instructions to execute preventive measures, ensuring continuous operation by anticipating and mitigating failures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system waits for failure detection before taking action, then the response is based on actual failure, but the system experiences downtime and loss of productivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by monitoring relay device status parameters (CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, temperature) and executing preventive measures before actual failures occur. The system compares monitored values against threshold values and automatically executes predetermined processes (such as restarting services, cleaning temporary files, or alerting administrators) when thresholds are approached, thereby maintaining continuous operation while preventing failures proactively.
2Device complexity
If manual monitoring and response is used, then the system structure is simple, but the response time is slow and productivity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling the relay device to automatically monitor its own status parameters, compare them against predefined thresholds, and execute predetermined corrective processes without human intervention. The system autonomously detects potential failures, determines appropriate actions based on stored procedures, and executes them automatically, thereby reducing response time while maintaining relatively simple system architecture through automated decision-making.
3Reliability
If continuous monitoring of relay device status is implemented, then failure prevention capability is improved, but energy consumption and processing load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by implementing status monitoring at predetermined time intervals rather than continuous real-time monitoring. The relay device monitors status parameters (CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, temperature) periodically and compares them against threshold values only at these intervals, reducing energy consumption and processing load while maintaining effective failure prevention capability through timely detection of abnormal conditions.

AI summary
A device management system and a device management method are provided, each of which: receives status information indicating a status of a relay device from the relay device, the relay device being connected with one or more devices in a local network via a firewall; based on a determination that the received status information satisfies a predetermined condition, obtains instruction information associated with the predetermined condition, the instruction information indicating a predetermined process to be executed by the relay device; and transmits the obtained instruction information to the relay device to cause the relay device to execute the predetermined process.
