Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Processing device users face issues such as instability, data loss, and increased support costs due to application instabilities and hardware configuration problems, which are often exacerbated by the need for advanced technical expertise to manage built-in maintenance tools.
Innovation Solution
A self-managed processing device that provides protective services like antivirus protection, backup, and recovery features, including a recovery button or switch, to automatically detect and repair instabilities, and persist or discard configuration changes, thereby reducing the need for user expertise and external support.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If built-in maintenance tools are provided in processing devices, then basic processing maintenance needs are satisfied, but a high level of computer expertise is required to properly use these tools
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-diagnosis and self-repair by automatically monitoring system state, detecting instabilities, and executing recovery operations without requiring user intervention or technical expertise. The processing device manages its own maintenance needs through automated agents that operate independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical interaction with maintenance tools with automated software-based monitoring and recovery systems. Instead of requiring users to manually configure and operate maintenance tools, the system uses automated agents to detect and repair instabilities programmatically.
2Reliability
If processing device users wait until failure or data loss before configuring built-in tools, then system availability is maintained, but support costs increase and system availability is adversely affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary maintenance actions by continuously monitoring system state and detecting instabilities before they cause failure or data loss. Recovery operations are initiated proactively when instabilities are detected, preventing actual system failures and maintaining continuous availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where monitoring agents track system state, detect instabilities, and trigger recovery operations. This closed-loop control ensures that maintenance actions are taken based on real-time system conditions rather than waiting for failure symptoms to manifest.
3Adaptability or versatility
If processing device users install applications to meet their needs, then functionality is improved, but the operating system may become unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces monitoring agents as intermediaries between applications and the operating system. These agents detect instabilities caused by application installations and configurations, and coordinate recovery operations to restore system stability while preserving application functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors changes in system state parameters caused by application installations and configurations. When instabilities are detected through parameter changes, the system automatically adjusts system configuration or restores previous stable states to maintain reliability while allowing application diversity.
