INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING FAILURE ANALYSIS FUNCTION, FAILURE ANALYSIS METHOD, AND FAILURE ANALYSIS PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus with a failure analysis function that can accurately specify a failed part at a major fault. PSOLUTION: A failure point of a major fault and failure points of minor faults predictive of the major fault are associated and stored in a failure association table as a single failure group. At a fault, the type of the fault is identified by fault information, and the fault information is stored together with the fault type as fault log data. At the fault, a corresponding failure group number is identified by reference to the failure association table and stored in association with the fault log data. At a major fault, a failure detection point is identified by reference to the fault log data on the minor faults belonging to the same failure group as the major fault. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
