METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR MANAGING RISKS AND ALERTS

摘要

A method of managing risks and alerts for a system. The system includes source modules and auxiliary modules for identifying actual or potential risks of failures or of malfunctions of the system. A central module of the system serves to determine actual or potential risks of failures or of malfunctions of the system and actual or potential risks associated with parameters external to the system and that might have impacts on operation of the system. Then, an overall risk level is determined by combining the various actual or potential risks and their effects on the system, and then an action and information interface may be controlled as a function of the overall risk level, e.g. for modifying a display of information relating to the system and/or to its environment, or indeed for automatically performing an action on the system.
