Estimating the term…
A data conversion device, including a preferably software implemented data conversion engine, which receives a formatted input data stream from an input device, converts the data into a different (universal) format in real time and transmits the converted data to an output device. Messages, i.e., data, from host devices can also be uplinked, via the data conversion device, to the data generating devices. By rapidly processing new and/or incompatible data record formats the invention minimizes the cost of maintaining data management systems and maximizes their usage. The conversion device input and output architecture is flexible and the conversion device can be used with multiple (networked or non-networked) data generating devices and single or multiple data storage devices using multiple data output formats.
An information retrieval and storage system comprising:
A data conversion device for receiving data streams having different forms from a plurality of data generating devices, said conversion device comprising:
A method of processing one or more input data streams having diverse forms of information content, structure and format into one or more output data streams having diverse forms of information content structure and format using a data conversion device comprising the steps of:
An information contents storage and manipulation system including a data converter having a plurality of inputs for receiving data streams representing diverse forms of information content, structure and format and a plurality of outputs for outputting, based on said received data streams, converted data streams representing diverse forms of information content, structure and format, said converter comprising:
