PROVIDING SMART ALARM INFORMATION IN A COMPUTING SYSTEM USING DETECTED ALARMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029533 titled 'PROVIDING SMART ALARM INFORMATION IN A COMPUTING SYSTEM USING DETECTED ALARMS
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed patent application describes a system for managing smart alarms based on a set of associated alarms and/or events. The system detects alarms in a computing system and uses them to identify a smart alarm definition. The identified smart alarm definition is then evaluated to determine if the condition is satisfied by the set of alarms. Smart alarm information is provided using the smart alarm definition and the detected set of alarms, which enables efficient interpretation of the alarms in the computing system. This system reduces the quantity of individual alarms that need to be processed and reduces the likelihood of errors occurring during processing.
- The patent application describes a system for managing smart alarms based on an associated set of alarms and/or events.
- Alarms are detected in a computing system and used to identify a smart alarm definition.
- The condition of the identified smart alarm definition is evaluated to determine if it is satisfied by the set of alarms.
- Smart alarm information is provided using the smart alarm definition and the detected set of alarms.
- This system enables efficient interpretation of detected alarms in a computing system.
- Managing smart alarms as described reduces the quantity of individual alarms that need to be processed.
- It also reduces the likelihood of errors occurring during alarm processing.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries and systems where alarm management is crucial, such as:
- Industrial control systems
- Building management systems

Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Overwhelming quantity of individual alarms that need to be processed
- Difficulty in interpreting and understanding the context of detected alarms
- Increased likelihood of errors occurring during alarm processing
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Efficient interpretation of detected alarms in a computing system
- Reduction in the quantity of individual alarms that need to be processed
- Decreased likelihood of errors occurring during alarm processing
- Enhanced context and information provided with smart alarm information
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosure herein describes managing smart alarms based on an associated set of alarms and/or events. the alarms are detected in a computing system and the detected alarms are used to identify a smart alarm definition with which the detected alarms are associated. a condition of the identified smart alarm definition is evaluated, and it is determined that the condition is satisfied at least in part by the set of alarms. smart alarm information is then provided using the smart alarm definition and the detected set of alarms. providing smart alarm information associated with the detected set of alarms and/or events provides additional context to enable efficient interpretation of detected alarms in a computing system. further, managing the smart alarms as described reduces the quantity of individual alarms that must be processed and reduces the likelihood of errors occurring as those alarms are processed.
