  • Patent number: 11914458
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring, detecting, and mitigating hardware and software failures. An error detection module monitors the execution of software processes and detects failures of the monitored processes. The error detection module may monitor reboot events and correlate reboot events with failures of the monitored software processes. If a monitored process fails, the error detection module may log the failure and its cause. If the same process has failed numerous times, causing the user device to experience a reboot loop, remedial action may be taken based on the cause of the failure.
    Type: Grant
