Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computer systems, such as medical image observing systems, face challenges in optimizing resource allocation due to varying capabilities and functions among computer resources, leading to inefficient use and potential loss of optimization when application purposes change.

Innovation Solution

A computer system analyzing apparatus and method that acquires information on the use states of multiple computer resources and detects unreasonable states, such as mismatched resolutions or unbalanced usage, to optimize resource allocation and suggest corrective actions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If computer resources are allocated based on initial design decisions, then the system can be established with specific configurations, but the optimization is lost when application purposes change and administrative burden increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to application purpose changesVSAvoidadministrative burden for resource management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects unreasonable states in computer resource allocation and notifies administrators, enabling the system to self-monitor and self-report issues without requiring continuous manual optimization. The detecting unit automatically identifies when resource allocation becomes unreasonable due to application changes, and the notification unit alerts relevant personnel, reducing the need for constant administrative intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where the detecting unit continuously monitors computer resource usage states and compares them against reasonable allocation criteria. When unreasonable states are detected, the notification unit provides feedback to administrators, enabling them to make informed adjustments. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures the system adapts to changing application purposes while maintaining optimal resource allocation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If manual optimization of computer resource allocation is performed, then optimal system configuration can be achieved, but much labor is required and optimization is lost when purposes change

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem operation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for resource optimization management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes reasonable allocation criteria for different application purposes and scenarios. The detecting unit is pre-configured with knowledge of what constitutes reasonable resource allocation for various applications, enabling it to automatically detect unreasonable states without requiring real-time manual analysis. This preliminary preparation allows rapid detection and notification when deviations occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically performs the optimization monitoring and detection functions that would otherwise require manual administrative effort. The detecting unit continuously assesses resource allocation合理性 and the notification unit automatically alerts administrators when issues arise, eliminating the need for continuous manual optimization work while maintaining high system efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If computer resources with different capabilities are used for various functions, then specific application requirements can be met, but inefficient use of resources occurs and optimization is difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional suitability for specific applicationsVSAvoidease of resource allocation management
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system recognizes and manages different capabilities of computer resources by applying different allocation criteria and reasonable state definitions tailored to specific resource types and application requirements. Each resource can have its own optimization parameters and detection rules, allowing high-resolution displays to be optimally allocated for doctor workstations while using lower-resolution displays for nurse stations, with automatic detection of unreasonable allocations for each context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The detecting unit provides continuous feedback on whether current resource allocation matches the functional requirements of different applications. When unreasonable allocations are detected—such as assigning insufficient computational resources to image processing tasks or inappropriate display resolutions—the notification unit alerts administrators to make corrections, maintaining functional suitability while simplifying management through automated monitoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
