REAL ASSET-TO-SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT BRIDGE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A training system to train a user, comprising:
- at least one real asset having real asset data;
a transceiver coupled to the real asset;
at least one simulator that simulates an asset to enable a user to train to use the asset; and
a bridge coupled between the at least one simulator and the transceiver that facilitates the training and transmits the real asset data to the simulator, with the simulator using the real asset data to simulate the asset to train the user.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a training system comprising at least one real asset having real asset data, a transceiver coupled to the real asset, at least one simulator adapted to simulate an asset; and a bridge coupled between the at least one simulator and the transceiver, whereby training can be carried out using both the at least one real asset and the simulated asset in concert. The bridge uses a piecewise polynomial interpolation algorithm to transform the real asset data into the proper format for use in the simulated environment. The present disclosure is also directed to the real asset-to-simulated environment bridge itself and a method of providing a bridge between at least one real asset and a simulated environment.

15. A real asset-to-simulated environment bridge, comprising:
-
a computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied thereon which when executed couples at least one real asset to a simulated environment; and
when executed, the computer readable medium computes an equation for a curve to fit real asset data received by the bridge, interpolates the real asset data based on the computed curve, and repeats the computing and interpolating steps until no new real asset data is received by the bridge such that a plurality of curves representing the motion of the real asset are created. - View Dependent Claims (16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method of providing a bridge between at least one real asset having real asset data and a simulated environment, comprising:
-
(1) receiving a set of real asset data periodically from the real asset;
(2) computing an equation for a curve to fit the real asset data received;
(3) interpolating real asset data based on the computed equation to create a curve;
(4) repeating (3) and (4) until no new real asset data is received such that a plurality of curves representing the motion of the real asset are created; and
(5) transmitting the motion of the real asset to the simulated environment. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
