Reconfigurable data distribution system
First Claim
1. A reconfigurable data distribution system, comprising:
- a stream generator implemented at least in part in hardware, configured to;
generate first data packets encapsulating first data received from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors and second data packets encapsulating second data received from a second sensor of the plurality of sensors, wherein the first sensor is configured to operate on a first vendor platform and the second sensor is configured to operate on a second vendor platform;
a processor coupled to a memory having instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;
create a composite image for output to a display by embedding the first data into the second data, wherein the composite image simultaneously displays the first data and the second data; and
control, using operational information comprising one or more control values, the plurality of sensors based at least in part on analyzing the first data or the second data.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer programs products for a reconfigurable data distribution system are described herein. An embodiment includes a stream generator that receives analog data from a plurality of sensors. Data received from sensors, for example, may include video data received from an externally mounted camera on an armored vehicle. The stream generator converts analog data received from the sensors into a digital format that can be transmitted to a router. The router forwards the data in the digital format to a display processor. The display processor formats the data received from the router for display on a display device. The display processor may also receive data from other peripherals, including but not limited to, a touch screen device or a keypad. Furthermore, the display processor may communicate with the sensors and includes all operational information needed to operate the sensors that provide data to the stream generator, regardless of the sensors'"'"' operational platform.
