Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network operators face challenges in obtaining a comprehensive overview of their site's performance and related information due to the lack of a unified platform that requires manual logins to multiple tools and dashboards, leading to inefficiencies in data extraction and analysis.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing a spider view menu for data visualization that integrates pre-processed data from various sources, enabling one-click access to key performance indicators, alarms, properties, and configuration through a unified user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network operators use multiple separate tools and dashboards to access site performance data, then they can access specific vendor-specific metrics, but they face complexity in navigation and multiple logins required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate tools, dashboards, and data sources into a single unified platform that displays vendor-specific metrics (Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei) and general metrics together. This merging eliminates the need for operators to navigate multiple separate systems while maintaining access to all required data types.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified platform serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as a centralized login system, a multi-vendor metrics dashboard, a drill-down analysis tool, and a real-time monitoring system. This multi-functionality replaces several specialized tools with one universal interface.
2Loss of information
If network operators manually navigate multiple URLs and perform multiple logins, then they can access detailed metrics from different vendors, but they experience loss of time in data extraction and analysis
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-fetching and pre-processing metrics data from multiple vendors before the user needs it. Data is automatically collected, normalized, and organized in the unified platform, so when operators access the system, all required information is already prepared and immediately available for analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified platform acts as an intermediary layer between multiple vendor-specific data sources and the end user. It automatically handles data extraction, normalization, and presentation, eliminating the manual time-consuming process of accessing each vendor's system separately while ensuring complete metrics data is captured.
3Measurement precision
If network operators access data from multiple separate platforms, then they can obtain vendor-specific metrics, but they face difficulty in obtaining a comprehensive overview of site performance
Solution Approach 1:
The unified platform segments metrics into distinct categories (vendor-specific metrics for Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, and general metrics) while maintaining their individual precision. Each segment preserves its original measurement accuracy while being presented within a unified context that provides comprehensive site performance overview.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a new dimension to data presentation by organizing metrics in a hierarchical structure with drill-down capabilities. Operators can view high-level summary views for comprehensive oversight, then drill down into specific vendor or metric details, providing both big-picture visibility and precise measurement access simultaneously.
Data Source
AI summary
The disclosed system (100) and method (1200) for data visualization and management in a telecommunication network is disclosed. The system incorporates one or more processors that receive user inputs for identifying network nodes. A unified user interface (UI) (102) is employed to present a spider view menu with multiple segments corresponding to pre-processed data categories, including alarms (104), key performance indicators (KPIs) (106), properties (108), capacity (110), and configuration (112). The data is sourced from a database (103) linked to the processors (105). The UI (102) is designed to offer one-click access to detailed data, eliminating the need for multiple logins. It also features real-time updates and displays information, color-coded for distinction, enabling interactive engagement with the data. The processors are adept at synchronizing the management of diverse network node types, hardware vendors, and server systems, streamlining network operations and oversight.
