Controlling or monitoring at least two communication systems by at least one application
First Claim
1. A system for at least one of controlling and monitoring at least two communication systems by at least one application, comprising:
- an interposed shared service to at least one of receive first data in a first data format from the at least one application for transmission to one of the communication systems and receive second data in a second data format, different from the first data format, from one of the communication systems for transmission to the at least one application, said interposed shared service processing and as appropriate subsequently forwarding at least one of the first and second data in the second and first data formats, respectively; and
at least one conversion unit, connected between said interposed shared service and at least one of the communication systems, to convert between data formats.

Abstract
At least two communication systems are controlled or monitored by at least one application by transmitting data from an application to a communication system or conversely from a communication system to an application. An interposed shared service receives and processes the data in each case and subsequently forwards the data. The service sends the data to the communication systems in the same data format in each case and receives the data from the communication systems. When at least one of the communication systems uses a different data format, at least one conversion unit is connected between the communication system and the service for adapting the data formats. With this arrangement it is unnecessary to preset the application to the particular data format used by the communication system to transmit control and status information.

11. A method for at least one of controlling and monitoring at least two communication systems by at least one application, comprising:
-
transmitting first data from the at least one application towards at least one communication system;
transmitting second data from at least one communication system towards the at least one application;
receiving the first and second data in an interposed shared service between the at least one application and the at least two communication systems;
processing the first and second data in an internal data format of the interposed shared service;
sending the data from the interposed shared service to the at least two communication systems in each case using a data format of received data from the at least two communication systems, respectively, at least one of the communication systems using a different data format than the internal data format of the interposed shared service; and
converting between the internal data format and the different data format in a conversion unit connected between the interposed shared service and the at least one communication system using the different data format. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
