AUTOMATIC ALERT GENERATION
First Claim
1. In a device monitoring system, a method of identifying when a device is in need of service, the method comprising:
- receiving device state data from the device, the device state data indicating that the device is in a particular state;
inputting the device state data into a model that maps the device state data to a likelihood that a typical system administrator accesses a modeled device when the modeled device is in the particular state, the model having been generated from a correlation operation between (i) device state data received from a set of devices, and (ii) administrator login data providing instances in time when system administrators accessed the set of devices; and
in response to a sufficiently high likelihood that the typical system administrator accesses the modeled device when the modeled device is in the particular state, sending a notification that the device is in need of service to a system administrator responsible for providing service to the device.

Abstract
Improved techniques of identifying when a device needs of service involve using data analytics to determine conditions when a device administrator of a computerized device is to be sent an alert regarding that device. Along these lines, a device monitoring system receives state data from a device that indicates the device is in a particular state, e.g., running certain applications, using some percentage of the processor and memory capacity, etc. The device monitoring system maps the device state data to a decision of whether or not to send a device administrator an alert concerning the device. The decision itself is a result of applying a model to the state data that is derived from the application of data analytics on historical device state data and administrator login data.

20. An electronic apparatus constructed and arranged to identify when a device is in need of service, the apparatus comprising:
-
a network interface; and a controller containing memory circuitry and controlling circuitry coupled to the memory circuitry, the controlling circuitry being constructed and arranged to; receive device state data over the network interface from the device, the device state data indicating that the device is in a particular state; input the device state data into a model that maps the device state data to a likelihood that a typical system administrator accesses a modeled device when the modeled device is in the particular state, the model having been generated from a correlation operation between (i) device state data received from a set of devices, and (ii) administrator login data providing instances in time when system administrators accessed the set of devices; and in response to a sufficiently high likelihood that the typical system administrator accesses the modeled device when the modeled device is in the particular state, send, over the network interface, a notification that the device is in need of service to a system administrator responsible for providing service to the device.

21. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium which stores code, the code including a compiler which when executed by a computer configured to identify when a device is in need of service, causes the computer to:
-
receive device state data over the network interface from the device, the device state data indicating that the device is in a particular state; input the device state data into a model that maps the device state data to a likelihood that a typical system administrator accesses a modeled device when the modeled device is in the particular state, the model having been generated from a correlation operation between (i) device state data received from a set of devices, and (ii) administrator login data providing instances in time when system administrators accessed the set of devices; and in response to a sufficiently high likelihood that the typical system administrator accesses the modeled device when the modeled device is in the particular state, send, over the network interface, a notification that the device is in need of service to a system administrator responsible for providing service to the device.
