TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM AUTO-RECOVERY AND OPTIMALITY ENGINE AND TECHNIQUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157997 titled 'TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM AUTO-RECOVERY AND OPTIMALITY ENGINE AND TECHNIQUES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes hardware and techniques for identifying and correcting computer process faults in a network. Here are the key points:

• The system evaluates a stream of process break flags from a monitoring component to determine interdependent computer processes in the network.
• Each break flag indicates a process fault detected by the monitoring component and is correlated to a corrective response.
• A risk is assigned to each break flag and corrective response, taking into account interdependencies between computer processes and identified corrective actions.
• A risk matrix is used to determine a final response strategy for correcting the computer process faults, considering the assigned risk and computer system interdependence.
• The final response strategy is stored in a runbook, which can be updated based on changing computer process interdependencies and assigned risk.

Potential applications of this technology:

• IT infrastructure management and fault correction in large networks.
• Automated response and recovery systems for computer process faults.
• Risk assessment and mitigation in complex computer systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient identification and correction of computer process faults in a network.
• Minimizing the impact of process faults on interdependent computer processes.
• Streamlining the response strategy based on risk assessment and system interdependencies.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved reliability and stability of computer systems.
• Faster response and recovery times for process faults.
• Enhanced risk management and mitigation in complex networks.

Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are hardware and techniques for correcting computer process faults by identifying risk associated with correcting a computer process fault and computer processes that may depend on the corrected computer process. The interdependent computer processes in a network may be determined by evaluating a stream of process break flags from a monitoring component coupled to the network. Each computer process break flag in the stream of computer process break flags indicates a process fault detected by the monitoring component and is correlated to a corrective response. The break flag and the corrective response are assigned a risk. A risk matrix accounts for interdependencies between computer processes and identified corrective actions. A final response strategy that corrects the computer process faults is determined using the assigned risk and computer system interdependence. A runbook stores the final response strategy, which may be updated based on changing computer process interdependencies and assigned risk.
