Abstract
Systems and related approaches for monitoring the notification rate of live alarms being presented to an operator in the presentation tool. The number of notifications being received is counted and managed as a rate due to the update frequency of the tool. In some embodiments, when the number of notifications received exceeds a threshold, an indicator is presented to the operator alerting them to the abnormality. The operator may then examine the system as necessary to locate the source of the abnormality.
Claims12
A method of actively detecting abnormal activity, the method comprising:
- updating a display of a presentation tool periodically at a given time period;
- over each given time period:
- counting notifications of an adverse condition;
- comparing the notifications that have been counted to a predetermined threshold number of notifications;
- and
- when the predetermined threshold number of notifications over the given time period is exceeded, presenting information on the display of the presentation tool indicating a rate of the notifications over the given time period to a user for the user to address an operating issue at a control system associated with the notification;
- and
- at the beginning of a next given time period, resetting a timer associated with the given time period.

A rate detection apparatus comprising:
- an interface having an input and an output;
- a processor coupled to the interface, the processor configured to:
- update a display of a presentation tool via the output periodically at a given time period;
- over each given time period:
- count notifications of an adverse condition via the input;
- compare the notifications that have been counted to a predetermined threshold number of notifications;
- and
- when the predetermined threshold number of notifications over the given time period is exceeded, present information to a user via the output on the display of the presentation tool indicating a rate of the notifications over the given time period to address an operating issue at a control system associated with the notification;
- and
- at the beginning of a next given time period, reset a timer associated with the given time period.
