Systems and methods for data exchange among network devices

A method for decoding an incoming data stream of an uncertain, first format, the incoming data stream comprising one or more data records, and transforming the incoming data stream into a common, agnostic inter-proxy format and transforming the common, agnostic inter-proxy format into a known, second format, comprising:

• executing, by a processor, in an automatic operation, a schema generation/selection application to survey existing data stream format specifications to identify identical and similar elements of the data stream, the elements including code segments and code modules, wherein identity and similarity are based on functions, instructions, and forms of the elements;
• for an identical and for a similar element, saving the element with a link to a generic instruction that represents the identical element or the similar element;
• continuing the survey and saving linked elements until a stopping condition is met, the stopping condition selected from a group consisting of assembly of a verifiable generic instruction set usable to obtain a translator and inability to assemble a verifiable generic instruction set, comprising:
• executing a compiler to compile the generic instruction set to generate a generic grammar and corresponding schema,
• testing the generic grammar and corresponding schema to verify results meet a configurable confidence level, and
• saving the verified generic grammar and corresponding schema as an inter-proxy data record specification;
• and
• using the verified generic grammar and corresponding schema, obtaining a translator that translates the first format into the common, agnostic inter-proxy format according to the inter-proxy data record specification.

A method for bi-directional data exchange in a network, the network comprising a plurality of external devices, an external device comprising a computing platform, the method, comprising:

• invoking, by processors, a proxy at two or more of the plurality of external devices;
• and
• providing, by a first processor at a first external device, a data record for transmission to one or more of the plurality of external devices, comprising:
• executing a schema generation/selection application to survey existing data record format specifications to identify identical and similar elements of the data record,
• saving an identical and similar element with a link to a generic instruction that represents the identical or similar element,
• continuing the survey and saving linked elements until a stopping condition is met, the stopping condition selected from a group consisting of assembly of a verifiable generic instruction set usable to obtain a translator and inability to assemble a verifiable generic instruction set, comprising:
• compiling the generic instruction set to generate a generic grammar and corresponding schema;
• testing the generic grammar and corresponding schema to verify results meet a configurable confidence level;
• and
• saving the verified generic grammar and corresponding schema as an inter-proxy data record specification;
• using the verified generic grammar and corresponding schema, obtaining a translator that translates the first format into a common, agnostic inter-proxy format according to the inter-proxy data record specification,
• translating the data recording according to the inter-proxy data record specifications, and
• transmitting the data record over the network.
