Abstract

The disclosed subject matter describes a method, system, apparatus, and storage medium for interfacing multiple communication systems, comprising the following steps. The interface receives information from the client, and determines the format of the information. The disclosed subject matter identifies the third party to receive the information and transforms the originally received information into a format compatible for the third party. The server or router then sends the converted information to the intended third party. The associated process allows communication between the client and third party in both directions.

Claims

1. A method for interfacing multiple communication systems, comprising the steps of:

receiving incoming information on a router from a transmitting party;

determining the format of said incoming information from said transmitting party on said router;

identifying the receiving party on said router;

determining the format of outgoing information for said receiving party on said router;

transforming said incoming information into the format required of said outgoing information on said router; and

transmitting said outgoing information to said receiving party from said router.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of determining the format of said incoming information based on analysis of said incoming information.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of determining the format of said incoming information based on a profile associated with said transmitting party.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with said transmitting party.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with said receiving party.

6. The method of claim 1, where said incoming information is aircraft communications.

7. The method of claim 1, where said incoming information is aircraft coordination information.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

the step of determining the format of said incoming information based on at least one of;

analysis of said incoming information;

or

a profile associated with said transmitting party;

the step of determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with at least one of;

said transmitting party;

or

said receiving party; and

the incoming information is at least one of;

aircraft communications or

aircraft coordination information

9. A system for interfacing multiple communication systems, comprising:

incoming information;

a router comprising;

a set of instructions for receiving incoming information from a transmitting party;

a set of instructions for determining the format of said incoming information from said transmitting party;

a set of instructions for identifying the receiving party;

a set of instructions for determining the format of outgoing information for said receiving party;

a set of instructions for transforming said incoming information into the format required of said outgoing information; and

a set of instructions for transmitting said outgoing information to said receiving party.

10. The system of claim 9, where said router contains a set of instructions for determining the format of said incoming information based on analysis of said incoming information.

11. The system of claim 9, where said router contains a set of instructions for determining the format of said incoming information based on a profile associated with said transmitting party.

12. The system of claim 9, where said router contains a set of instructions for determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with said transmitting party.

13. The system of claim 9, where said router contains a set of instructions for determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with said receiving party.

14. The system of claim 9, where said incoming information is at least one of aircraft communications or aircraft coordination information.

15. A tangible computer readable medium, said tangible computer readable medium encoded with instructions for a computer, said instructions comprising the steps of:

receiving incoming information on a router from a transmitting party;

determining the format of said incoming information from said transmitting party on said router;

identifying the receiving party on said router;

determining the format of outgoing information for said receiving party on said router;

transforming said incoming information into the format required of said outgoing information on said router; and

transmitting said outgoing information to said receiving party from said router.

16. The tangible computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising the step of determining the format of said incoming information based on analysis of said incoming information.

17. The tangible computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising the step of determining the format of said incoming information based on a profile associated with said transmitting party.

18. The tangible computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising the step of determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with said transmitting party.

19. The tangible computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising the step of determining the format of said outgoing information based on a profile associated with said receiving party.

20. The tangible computer readable medium of claim 15, where said incoming information is at least one of aircraft communications or aircraft coordination information.
