METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS DETECTION
First Claim
1. A method for diagnosis detection in a system, comprising:
- (a) describing a diagnosis domain comprising a plurality of possible diagnoses;
(b) prioritizing said plurality of possible diagnoses based on at least one of a plurality of confidence levels, a preference function, and a calculation of a relationship between a plurality of confirmed system symptoms and a plurality of possible diagnoses;
(c) generating a plurality of hypotheses for incipient system symptoms;
(d) selecting a hypothesis from said generated plurality of hypotheses;
(e) obtaining information regarding a plurality of system observations; and
(f) obtaining a selection of relevant diagnostics for the system.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method, system, and computer software for obtaining system diagnosis, comprising describing a diagnosis domain comprising a plurality of possible diagnoses, prioritizing the plurality of possible diagnoses based on at least one of a plurality of confidence levels, a preference function, and a calculation of a relationship between a plurality of confirmed system symptoms and a plurality of possible diagnoses, generating a plurality of hypotheses for incipient system symptoms, selecting a hypothesis from the generated plurality of hypotheses, obtaining information regarding a plurality of system observations, and obtaining a selection relevant diagnostics for the system.

7. A system, comprising:
-
a data bus system; memory in communication with the data bus system, the memory having computer usable program code stored therein; a processing unit in communication with the data bus system, said processing unit being configured to access and execute the computer usable program code to; (a) describe a diagnosis domain comprising a plurality of possible diagnoses; (b) prioritize said plurality of possible diagnoses based on at least one of a plurality of confidence levels, a preference function, and a calculation of a relationship between a plurality of confirmed system symptoms and a plurality of possible diagnoses; (c) generate a plurality of hypotheses for incipient system symptoms; (d) select a hypothesis from said generated plurality of hypotheses; (e) obtain information regarding a plurality of system observations; and (f) obtain a selection of relevant diagnostics for the system. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium encoded with programming instructions, said data storage medium being loaded into a computer that is in communication with a computerized system, said programming instructions causing said computer to:
-
(a) describe a diagnosis domain comprising a plurality of possible diagnoses; (b) prioritize said plurality of possible diagnoses based on at least one of a plurality of confidence levels, a preference function, and a calculation of a relationship between a plurality of confirmed system symptoms and a plurality of possible diagnoses; (c) generate a plurality of hypotheses for incipient system symptoms; (d) select a hypothesis from said generated plurality of hypotheses; (e) obtain information regarding a plurality of system observations, and (f) obtain a selection relevant diagnostics for the system.
