Method and apparatus for correcting errors in a system
First Claim
1. A computer based method, comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting a first system to be monitored using a computer method, said first system having a number of specific variables having preselected values corresponding to said first system;
(b) selecting, using computer methods, the time at which the monitoring of the selected system will be commenced;
(c) selecting discrete intervals during the monitoring of the system at which the selected system will be monitored;
(d) recording said system selected, said time and said interval;
(e) recording and visually displaying warnings of errors when said variables are other than the preselected values.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to a computer based method for artificial intelligence with sufficient flexibility for permitting the program to be configured or adapted to different circumstances. The computer based method is provided with a simplified language which permits certain tasks to be done in a preselected sequence as determined by the user. All the tasks and the time at which they will be accomplished are set out in a job display indicating the day, the start time, the end time, the length of interval and when the next one will be accomplished. Errors, when found, are flagged and error correction strings are utilized to automatically correct the error so that the computer can move to the next job. Recordation of the job monitored and any errors found can be made in any convenient data base, including a printer, a voice signal or simply the display. This system permits the more mundane monitoring tasks to be accomplished by computer based method alerting the personnel only when needed.

8. The computer based method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) selecting a first system to be monitored using a computer method, said first system including first preselected variables; (b) selecting a second system to be monitored using a computer method said second system having a second set of preselected variables; (c) selecting a first interval during which said first system will be monitored, said intervals being at different times; (d) recording said selected variables, said interval time and said intervals; (e) monitoring said first system during said first preselected intervals and recording the results of said first system monitoring step; (f) monitoring said second system during said second interval and recording the results of said second system monitoring step. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
