System and method for transmitting data and ordering asynchronous data

A system for transmitting data comprising:

• an information-generating device;
• a first processor in communication with the information-generating device, wherein the first processor is configured to:
• receive data;
• generate a map packet;
• transmit the map packet;
• using the data, generate continuity packets, wherein each of the continuity packets comprises a contiguous portion of the data;
• transmit the continuity packets;
• using the map packet and the continuity packets, cause an output file to be generated, by:
• causing a second processor to receive the map packet;
• and
• causing the second processor to receive the continuity packets, wherein:
• responsive to the second processor receiving the map packet and at least two of the continuity packets, the second processor generates the output file in real-time or near real time,
• the second processor receives the continuity packets in an initial order, and
• using the map packet, the first processor is configured to cause the second processor to generate the output file by ordering the continuity packets from the initial order into an output order.

A method for operating an information-generating device, comprising:

• receiving data;
• generating a map packet;
• transmitting the map packet;
• using the data to generate continuity packets, wherein each of the continuity packets comprises a contiguous portion of the data;
• transmit the continuity packets;
• using the map packet and the continuity packets to cause an output file to be generated by:
• causing a second processor to receive the map packet;
• and
• causing the second processor to receive the continuity packets, wherein:
• responsive to the second processor receiving the map packet and at least two of the continuity packets, the second processor generates the output file in real-time or near real time,
• the second processor receives the continuity packets in an initial order, and
• using the map packet, a first processor is configured to cause the second processor to generate the output file by ordering the continuity packets from the initial order into an output order.

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a first processor to:

• receive data from an information-generating device;
• generate a map packet;
• transmit the map packet;
• using the data, generate continuity packets, wherein each of the continuity packets comprises a contiguous portion of the data;
• transmit the continuity packets;
• using the map packet and the continuity packets, cause an output file to be generated, by:
• causing a second processor to receive the map packet;
• causing the second processor to receive the continuity packets, wherein:
• responsive to the second processor receiving the map packet and at least two of the continuity packets, the second processor generates the output file in real-time or near real time,
• the second processor receives the continuity packets in an initial order, and
• using the map packet, the first processor is configured to cause the second processor to generate the output file.
