OPERATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18281357 titled 'OPERATION SUPPORT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes an operation support apparatus designed to maintain rules for taking action on events that occur in an operation system. The apparatus includes a storage unit for storing rule information defining actions corresponding to events, a registration unit for recording history information when actions are taken in response to events, an identification unit for identifying rule information based on history information, and an output unit for outputting the identified rule information.

  • The operation support apparatus stores rule information for actions corresponding to events in an operation system.
  • History information is recorded when actions are taken in response to events, including the occurrence date and time of the event.
  • The identification unit identifies rule information based on the occurrence interval of specific events satisfying predetermined conditions.
  • The output unit outputs the identified rule information.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where automated systems need to respond to specific events with predefined actions, such as manufacturing, transportation, and security.

Problems Solved

This technology helps ensure that appropriate actions are taken in response to events in an operation system, improving efficiency and reliability.

Benefits

The operation support apparatus streamlines the process of maintaining and applying rules for event-based actions, reducing the risk of errors and delays in response.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include automated monitoring and response systems in industries where timely and accurate actions are crucial.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing systems or software that manage rules and actions based on events in an operation system.

Unanswered Questions

How does the operation support apparatus handle conflicting rules for different events?

The abstract does not provide information on how the apparatus prioritizes or resolves conflicts between rules for different events.

Can the operation support apparatus adapt to new events not covered by existing rules?

It is unclear from the abstract whether the apparatus has the capability to learn and apply new rules for events that were not initially defined in the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

To support appropriate maintenance of rules for taking action on events that occurred in an operation system. An operation support apparatus () includes: a storage unit () configured to store a plurality of pieces of rule information (to ) defining actions respectively corresponding to a plurality of events occurring in an operation system; a registration unit () configured to register history information in the storage unit () in a case where an action defined in rule information corresponding to a predetermined event among the plurality of pieces of rule information (to ) is taken in response to an occurrence of the predetermined event in the operation system, the history information containing occurrence date and time of the event and the rule information for the event; an identification unit () configured to identify, based on the history information, rule information in which an occurrence interval of a specific event satisfies a predetermined condition; and an output unit () configured to output the identified rule information.
