Abstract
A method for determining whether to provide automatic reset instructions to a machine with reset capability with respect to a fault code event, the method comprising, in a database, collecting records comprising the identification of the machine, a fault code associated therewith and the duration of a fault associated with the fault code that the machine experienced within a time period, and performing a statistical analysis on the records to analyze whether executing an automatic reset on the machine with respect to the fault code will probabilistically rectify the fault and to generate resultant data.
Claims20
A method for determining whether to provide automatic reset instructions to a machine with reset capability with respect to a fault code event, the method comprising:
- in a database, collecting records comprising the identification of the machine, a fault code associated therewith and the duration of a fault associated with the fault code that the machine experienced within a time period;
- and
- performing a statistical analysis on the records to analyze whether executing an automatic reset on the machine with respect to the fault code will probabilistically rectify the fault and to generate resultant data.
A method for correlating machine fault codes and machine automatic reset instructions, comprising:
- recording pertinent information relating to a machine with reset capability, a fault code of the machine, a remedy for rectifying a fault of the machine associated with the fault code;
- and
- performing a statistical analysis on the pertinent information to determine whether the fault code is a candidate for an automatic reset action;
- and
- generating output of correlated machine fault code and machine automatic reset instructions for use by an automatic reset instruction processor operatively connected to the machine.
A system for providing automatic reset instructions to a machine with reset capability in the event that the machine generate a fault code, the system comprising:
- a processor in communication with a automatic reset data store that contains the result of analysis performed upon information relating to the machine, the fault code and the time taken for rectifying a fault associated with the fault code;
- and
- a network system for allowing the machine to automatically access the automatic reset data store by sending a fault code and in turn receiving instructions from the processor associated with the automatic reset data store to engage the machine's automatic reset capability.
