Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for collecting configuration parameters of wireless networks are time-consuming and require significant manual effort due to the need for site-wise collection and manual search, leading to inefficiencies and higher costs.
Innovation Solution
A report generator system that automatically retrieves inventory data, configuration parameters, and current information from multiple network devices using predefined user inputs, determines filters, and generates a configuration dump report with minimal manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If configuration parameters are collected site-wise manually, then complete configuration data can be obtained, but the time required and manual effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple data sources (inventory database, parameter repository, distributed database) into a single automated report generation process. The system combines configuration parameters from multiple sites simultaneously through automated queries rather than manual site-wise collection, resolving the contradiction between complete data collection and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The report generator system performs self-service by automatically retrieving configuration parameters from multiple databases without requiring manual site-wise collection. The system autonomously executes queries across the wireless network, collects configuration data, and generates reports, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining data completeness.
2Measurement precision
If manual search is used to find configuration parameter categories, then accurate parameter classification can be achieved, but user effort and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically determining and categorizing configuration parameters without requiring manual search. The report generator autonomously classifies parameters into relevant categories (network type, technology, domain, geography) based on the retrieved data, maintaining categorization accuracy while eliminating user effort.
Solution Approach 2:
The report generator system performs multiple functions including data retrieval, parameter categorization, report generation, and filtering in a single automated process. This multi-functional approach replaces the need for separate manual search and classification steps, improving ease of operation while maintaining precision through systematic categorization.
3Productivity
If automated report generation is implemented, then time and manual effort are reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the report generation process into distinct modular components: inventory data retrieval, parameter retrieval, current information retrieval, category determination, and report generation. Each module handles a specific function, making the complex automated system manageable and maintainable while achieving high productivity through coordinated operation of these segmented components.
4Loss of information
If all configuration parameters are collected, then comprehensive network information is available, but data processing and presentation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes parameters by dynamically determining relevant categories (network type, technology, domain, geography) based on the retrieved configuration data. This parameter transformation organizes comprehensive configuration information into structured categories, maintaining information completeness while reducing processing complexity through systematic classification and filtering capabilities.
