Latest Patents
One of Prescott's latest patents focuses on controlling software failure data reporting and responses. This invention allows user input to define transmission filter rules that must be met when sending an error report to a support provider. Additionally, user input defines collection filter rules for including failure data within an error report. The system filters error reports corresponding to crash failures at clients using the transmission filter rules to determine which reports to send. Each report is further filtered to remove any failure data that does not satisfy the collection filter rules. Ultimately, error reports that meet the transmission filter rules, along with the relevant failure data, are sent to the support provider for analysis. This process ensures that standard and custom failure responses can be retrieved and sent to clients in accordance with the collection filter rules.
