Abstract
In a device and method for supporting error correction in an information processing system, a data acquisition device acquires damage information pertaining to the information processing system. A data storage contains information about possible damage cases in the information processing system as well as possible countermeasures. A computer linked with the data acquisition device as well as with the data storage, the computer being designed (in terms of programming) to generate a damage-specific questions and actions catalog. An output unit displays the questions and actions catalog.
Claims12
A device for supporting error correction in an information processing system, comprising:
- a data acquisition device that acquires damage information pertaining to operation of an information processing system;
- a memory containing first information characterizing possible damage situations for said information processing system and second information characterizing possible counter measures for said damage situations;
- a computer in communication with said data acquisition device and having access to said memory, said computer being programmed to generate a damage-specific questions and actions catalog dependent on said damage information acquired by said data acquisition device and said first information and said second information stored in said memory;
- and
- an output unit connected to the computer at which said computer causes said damage-specific questions and actions catalog to be visually displayed.
A method for supporting error correction in an information processing system, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring damage information in electronic form pertaining to operation of an information processing system;
- electronically storing first information characterizing possible damage situations for said information processing system and second information characterizing possible counter measures for said damage situations;
- in a computer in communication with said data acquisition device and having access to the stored first and second information, electronically generating a damage-specific questions and actions catalog dependent on said damage information and said first information and said second information stored in said memory;
- and
- at an output unit connected to the computer, visually displaying said damage-specific questions and actions catalog.
