INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447799 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that monitors the operation status of a target device within the apparatus and stores log information indicating any abnormalities in the device's operation.
- The processor obtains log information from the monitored device and stores it in a log memory.
- A flag is set to indicate abnormalities if no initialization signal is received within a certain period or if an abnormality signal is detected.
- The apparatus stops obtaining log information when an abnormality is flagged and maintains the information obtained so far.
- Reset control is performed to reset the target device once the abnormality is resolved.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various information processing systems to monitor and manage the operation status of critical devices. - It can be applied in industries where continuous monitoring of device operation is essential for safety and efficiency.
Problems Solved: - Ensures timely detection and response to abnormalities in the operation of monitored devices. - Helps in maintaining the integrity and reliability of information processing systems.
Benefits: - Enhances the overall reliability and performance of information processing systems. - Facilitates proactive maintenance and troubleshooting of devices within the system.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Monitoring System for Information Processing Devices" This technology can be commercialized for use in data centers, industrial automation systems, and other complex information processing environments. It can improve operational efficiency and reduce downtime by providing real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of device monitoring systems and log management in information processing environments to identify any related prior art.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in device monitoring technologies, log management systems, and information processing apparatus to leverage the latest innovations in the field.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between normal and abnormal operation of the target device? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the security and integrity of the stored log information?
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes a log memory and a processor configured to obtain log information indicating an operation status of a log obtaining target device, which is at least a monitored processor or a peripheral device, which is a device in the information processing apparatus other than the monitored processor, and store the log information in the log memory, set a flag indicating occurrence of an abnormality in operation of the log obtaining target device in accordance with absence of an initialization signal input from the monitored processor within a certain period or an abnormality signal indicating occurrence of an abnormality in operation of the peripheral device input from the monitored processor, stop, on a basis of the flag, obtaining the log information and cause the log memory to maintain the log information obtained so far before the log obtaining target device in the operation of which the abnormality has occurred is reset, and perform, without resetting the log memory after stopping obtaining the log information, reset control for resetting the log obtaining target device in the operation of which the abnormality has occurred.
