  • Patent number: 11138542
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing system, and the like, with which even if target information that relates to a target of interest has been disguised, such disguising can be more accurately detected, and the appropriate information intended for presentation to a user can be presented according to the detection results. An information processing system is equipped with: a server apparatus which determines whether or not target information is authentic, on the basis of a determination condition and information from which target information relating to a target of interest has been created and which indicates at least a time/date and a first location and a client which controls a presentation unit such that presentation information intended for presentation to a user is presented according to the result of the determination made by the server apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10733331
    Abstract: Monitoring of a state of a system can be accurately performed even when a timing at which a relation changes is different for each set of the metrics. A monitoring apparatus 100 includes a model storage unit 122 and a determination unit 115. The model storage unit 122 stores, for each of a plurality of metric sets in a system, a model representing a relation among metrics included in the corresponding metric set. The determination unit 115 determines and outputs whether the system is in one state, by comparing a combination of models to which the plurality of metric sets conform respectively when the system is in the one state and a combination of models to which the plurality of metric sets conform respectively when the system is in a state to be determined.

  • Patent number: 10642864
    Abstract: Fast classification of data can be performed according to characteristics. In a clustering device (100), a data storage unit (300) stores a plurality of data sets. A cluster generation unit (400) generates an approximate line that approximates as many data sets as possible within a predetermined margin of error among the plurality of data sets in a space in which the plurality of data sets are arranged in accordance with data values. The cluster generation unit (400) generates a cluster by classifying the plurality of data sets based on the generated approximate line and outputs the generated cluster.

  • Patent number: 10599501
    Abstract: Accuracy of risks defined for abnormalities that might occur in a system is improved. The risk determination device 100 includes a classification unit 114 and a determination unit 115. The classification unit 114 classifies abnormal patterns 133, each representing a relationship among metrics at a time of abnormality detection in a system, into groups 134 based on a similarity between the abnormal patterns. The determination unit 115 determines, based on the number of abnormal patterns 133 classified into each of the groups 134, likelihood of an abnormality of the corresponding group 134.

  • Patent number: 9274869
    Abstract: A fault cause extraction apparatus including a storage unit which stores a model including one or more correlation functions between pieces of performance information acquired from a plurality of elements and a correlation-destruction-propagation detecting unit which calculates a degree of influence for each of the elements based on correlation destruction information. The correlation destruction information is calculated based on whether pieces of performance information newly acquired from the elements satisfy a relationship represented by the correlation functions.

    Abstract: In state detection of a system using a correlation destruction pattern, the versatility of the correlation destruction pattern is improved. A system analysis device (100) includes a correlation destruction pattern storage unit (113), an aggregated destruction pattern generation unit (104), and a similarity calculation unit (105). The correlation destruction pattern storage unit (113) stores a plurality of correlation destruction patterns (123) each of which is a set of correlations in which correlation destruction has been detected among correlations of pairs of metrics in a system. The aggregated destruction pattern generation unit (104) generates an aggregated destruction pattern (124) which is obtained by aggregating correlation destruction patterns (123) of the same type among the plurality of correlation destruction patterns (123).

  • Patent number: 8874963
    Abstract: A candidate to cause a fault is identified, in case that correlation destruction is detected in some processing apparatuses or the like due to spread of the fault within a system.
