Automated analysis of collected field data for error detection
First Claim
1. A method for detecting errors in a set top terminal (STT), comprising:
- receiving error data related to at least one error that occurred in at least one STT;
comparing the received error data to at least one documented signature file, the at least one documented signature file including a pattern related to at least one documented error; and
in response to determining that the received error data does not match the pattern related to at least one documented error, creating a new signature file, the new signature file including at least one pattern associated with the received error data.

Abstract
Included are embodiments of a method for detecting errors in a set top terminal (STT). At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving error data related to at least one error that occurred in at least one STT and comparing the received error data to at least one signature file, the at least one signature file including a pattern related to at least one documented error. Additional embodiments of the method may also include in response to determining that the received error data does not match the pattern related to at least one documented error, creating a new signature file, the new signature file including at least one pattern associated with the received error data.

8. A computer readable medium having a computer program for detecting errors in a set top terminal (STT), comprising:
-
logic configured to receive error data related to at least one error that occurred in at least one STT;
logic configured to compare the received error data to at least one signature file, the at least one signature file including a pattern related to at least one documented error; and
logic configured to, in response to determining that the received error data does not match the pattern related to at least one documented error, facilitate creation of a new signature file, the new signature file including at least one pattern associated with the received error data.

15. A system for detecting errors in a set top terminal (STT), comprising:
-
error collecting logic configured to receive error logs from a plurality of STTs, the error collecting logic further configured to create a log file from the received error logs; and
error processing logic configured to receive the log file, the error processing logic further configured to separate error data related to an STT and determine whether the error data is associated with a documented error. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
