REAL-TIME ERROR DEBUGGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17454987 titled 'REAL-TIME ERROR DEBUGGING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method to improve the resolution of defects in computer hardware, programs, software, or systems. Here are the key points:

  • The approach involves pausing mainline traffic and isolating interface or retention issues.
  • Errors are determined when there is a failure in mainline traffic, and debug techniques are used to resolve or diagnose these errors.
  • The debug techniques are tracked and categorized for future reference.
  • Corrective read actions are applied to detected errors based on previously stored corrective actions.
  • If no additional actions are needed, the system data is restored.
  • Finally, the paused mainline traffic is resumed.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in various computer systems, including hardware, software, and programs, to improve defect resolution.
  • It can be applied in industries such as telecommunications, data centers, and computer networks to enhance system performance and reliability.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method helps in identifying and resolving errors in computer systems, which can improve overall system functionality and reduce downtime.
  • It provides a systematic approach to debug and diagnose issues, making it easier to identify the root cause of problems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • By pausing mainline traffic and isolating issues, the method minimizes the impact on the overall system and allows for focused debugging.
  • The tracking and categorization of debug techniques enable efficient resolution of errors by referring to previously successful solutions.
  • Applying corrective read actions based on stored corrective actions can save time and effort in resolving similar errors.
  • Restoring system data and resuming mainline traffic ensures minimal disruption to the system's normal operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach to improve resolving defects within computer hardware, programs, software, or systems, embodiments pause mainline traffic and isolating interface or retention issues, and determine one or more types of errors in an event of a mainline traffic fail, wherein debug techniques are applied to fail information to resolve or further diagnose the one or more types of errors, and wherein the debug techniques are tracked and categorized. Additionally, embodiments apply corrective read actions to a detected error based on previously stored corrective actions associated with the detected error, and responsive to identifying no additional actions are required, restoring a collected system data. Further, embodiments, resume the paused mainline traffic.
