Dynamic maintenance priority setting for network devices
The patent US12034606B2 outlines a computer-implemented method and apparatus for setting maintenance priorities for network devices within a communication network. The method involves arranging network devices into an ordered list based on customer requirements and usage information. It establishes at least two distinct maintenance priority classes, dynamically assigning these classes to the devices. This prioritization is designed to facilitate the scheduling of maintenance operations aimed at addressing potential communication failures before they occur, with each class setting a specific time limit for repairs.
Additionally, the method includes provisions for obtaining necessary customer and usage information from relevant databases and network operation systems. It allows for the dynamic adjustment of maintenance priority classes based on the number of devices and their previous priority statuses. New devices can be assigned a default maintenance priority class, typically set lower than the highest available class. The process can be repeated at predefined intervals, ensuring that maintenance priorities remain relevant and responsive to changing network conditions and customer needs. The apparatus described in the patent comprises a processor and memory configured to execute the outlined methods, thereby enhancing the efficiency of network maintenance operations.
