RULE GENERATION APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17768445 titled 'RULE GENERATION APPARATUS, METHOD AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application abstract describes a rule generation device that utilizes fault factor information, fault events, and rule IDs to generate rules for newly occurred faults based on the importance degrees of the fault events.

• Database storing fault factor information, fault events, and rule IDs associated with rules.
• Importance degree determination unit calculates degrees of importance for new fault events based on statistical or analytical processing.
• Rule generation unit creates rules for new faults based on the importance degrees.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in fault detection and rule generation systems for various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and telecommunications.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient rule generation for newly occurred faults. 2. Improved fault detection and analysis processes.

Benefits

1. Enhanced fault event prioritization. 2. Automated rule generation for quicker response to faults. 3. Increased system reliability and performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Fault Event Importance Degree Determination for Rule Generation in Fault Detection Systems"

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in fault detection systems may include manual rule generation processes or basic fault event prioritization methods.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle conflicting fault events with different importance degrees?

The device may prioritize fault events based on specific criteria or user-defined parameters to resolve conflicts.

Can the device adapt to changing fault patterns over time?

The device may incorporate machine learning algorithms to adjust importance degrees and rule generation processes based on evolving fault data.

Original Abstract Submitted

A rule generation device according to an embodiment includes: a database in which, for each fault, fault factor information including a fault factor part and a fault factor, fault events that occur due to this fault, a rule ID associated with a rule including a condition part and a result part are registered in association with one another; an importance degree determination unit determining, when fault events of a new fault that is a newly occurred fault are registered with the database, degrees of importance of the fault events of the new fault based on at least one of values calculated through statistical processing or analytical processing for information other than the fault events or overall information about the fault events, which are registered with the database; and a rule generation unit generating a rule for the new fault based on the degrees of importance.
