US 2023/0418854 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERIAL-OVER-IP SWITCH BASED CHARACTER STRING PATTERN MATCHING AND DETECTION

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a system for detecting a user defined character string in serial data at least one of output from a target device or transmitted to a target device. The system makes use of a serial communications device configured to enable a user to conduct a serial-over-IP active serial session with the target device. The serial communications device has a pattern matching application configured to at least one of receive, or be programmed with, a user defined character string, and to monitor for an occurrence of the user defined character string in serial data at least one of received from the target device or transmitted to the target device. The pattern matching application also is configured to take a predetermined action upon the detection of the user defined character string.

Dependent claims

A system for detecting a user defined character string in serial data being at least one of transmitted to a target device or received from the target device, the system comprising:

a serial communications device configured to enable a user to carry out a serial-over-IP active serial session with the target device, the serial communications device including:
a pattern matching application configured:
to at least one of receive, or be programmed with, a user defined character string;
to monitor for an occurrence of the user defined character string in serial data being at least one of transmitted to the target device or received from the target device;
and
upon detection of the user defined character in the serial data, to take a predetermined action.

3 more elements

A method for detecting a user defined character string in serial data at least one of received from a target device during a serial-over-IP active serial session, or transmitted to the target device during the serial-over-IP active serial session, the method comprising:

using a pattern matching application to monitor serial data at least one of received from the target device by a serial communications device, or transmitted to the target device from the serial communications device, during the serial-over-IP active serial session;
comparing a user defined character string operably associated with the pattern matching application to serial data at least one of received by the serial communications device or transmitted from the serial communications device, to determine if the user defined character string is present in the serial data;
when the serial data at least one of received by the serial communications device, or transmitted from the serial communications device to the target device, is detected that matches the user defined character string, then taking a predetermined action.
