Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces costly manual analysis processes with an automated machine learning system. The unified analysis platform uses ML algorithms to reliably identify issues and root causes across ecosystems, eliminating the need for expensive human resources while maintaining or improving detection completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If events are analyzed in compartmentalized ecosystems, then each ecosystem can be analyzed independently, but common root causes across ecosystems are missed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of ecosystem analysisVSAvoidloss of cross-ecosystem correlations
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges previously compartmentalized ecosystem analyses into a unified analysis platform. The system combines events from multiple disparate ecosystems and uses machine learning to correlate them, enabling the detection of common root causes that span across ecosystem boundaries while maintaining analytical simplicity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified analysis platform provides universal analysis capabilities that work across all disparate ecosystems simultaneously. The machine learning models are designed to handle multiple ecosystem types and event formats, enabling cross-ecosystem correlation and root cause identification through a single multi-functional system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Productivity

If automated machine-learning based techniques are used to cluster and correlate events, then response times are improved and human effort is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

The present subject matter discloses techniques to automatically cluster events generated by a plurality of distinct ecosystems deployed in a connected environment in relation to a product. In operation, the clustered events may be correlated, and one or more of the correlated events that trigger a response may be identified as an actionable item. Based on a correlation between the actionable items, a hierarchical product parameter responsible for the actionable item may be identified. The hierarchical product parameter is an operational factor in a hierarchy of operational factors associated with the product, where the hierarchy of operational factors span over the plurality of distinct ecosystems operating in relation to the product. Subsequently, one or more entities across the distinct ecosystems may be notified of the actionable item, to initiate a required action. Further, techniques to detect operational factors associated with the product deployed in the distinct ecosystems are disclosed.
