Solution Overview

Problem

Current information system management technologies lack the ability to accurately evaluate erroneous operation risks across various resource operations, especially in non-expert-managed environments, such as midrange markets, where simple and error-free management is crucial.

Innovation Solution

An evaluation system that includes arithmetic units and storage devices configured to store risk management information, receiving operation information from users, and evaluating erroneous operation risks based on specific indices for resource operations, displaying alert screens when high-risk operations are detected.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single threshold value is set for all operations on an operation screen, then the system can provide simple error prevention, but it cannot accurately evaluate erroneous operation risks for different resource operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerroneous operation risk evaluation accuracyVSAvoidrisk management information structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the risk evaluation by dividing it into multiple dimensions: screen-level threshold values and operation-specific risk indices. Each resource operation type (e.g., volume creation, deletion, migration) has its own risk index, allowing differentiated evaluation while maintaining a structured hierarchical framework that balances accuracy and manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different risk evaluation criteria to different operation types on the same screen. Instead of uniform treatment, each resource operation has customized risk indices (e.g., higher risk for deletion operations), enabling precise risk assessment tailored to local operation characteristics while using the same overall evaluation system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If the system provides simple operation interfaces for non-experts, then ease of operation improves, but the ability to accurately evaluate and prevent errors decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation simplicity for non-expertsVSAvoiderror prevention capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by providing operation-specific risk evaluations and alert screens to users before operations are executed. The system calculates risk indices for each operation type and presents appropriate warnings or confirmations, giving users feedback about potential errors while maintaining a simple interface that doesn't require expert knowledge to understand or respond to.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Disclosed is an evaluation system for evaluating a resource operation of an information system by a user. The evaluation system includes one or more arithmetic units, and one or more storage devices. The one or more storage devices are configured to store risk management information for managing an erroneous operation risk evaluation index relating to the resource operation of the information system. The one or more arithmetic units are configured to: receive operation information indicating a first resource operation designated by a first user, and evaluate an erroneous operation risk of the first resource operation based on the first resource operation and the risk management information.
