Abstract

A data collection system for distributing data from at least one target asset to at least one software application, comprising a machine platform and a data routing system. The machine platform stores data associated with the at least one target asset. The data routing system collects data from the machine platform. The data routing system operates in a pass through mode and a data processing mode. In the pass through mode, data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application without modification. In the data processing mode, the data routing system generates modified data based on the data stored by the machine platform and sends the modified data to the at least one software application.

Claims

1. A data collection system for distributing data from at least one target asset to at least one software application, comprising:

a machine platform for storing data associated with the at least one target asset;

a data routing system for collecting data from the machine platform, where the data routing system operates in

a pass through mode in which data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application without modification; and

a data processing mode in which the data routing system generates modified data based on the data stored by the machine platform and sends the modified data to the at least one software application.

2. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a motorized vehicle.

3. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a motorized watercraft.

4. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a global positioning system.

5. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a radio frequency identifier device.

6. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a global positioning system and a radio frequency identifier device.

8. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a motorized vehicle.

9. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a motorized watercraft.

10. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a global positioning system.

11. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a radio frequency identifier device.

12. A system as recited in claim 1, where in at least one asset comprises a global positioning system and a radio frequency identifier device.

7. A data collection system for distributing data from at least one mobile asset to at least one software application, comprising:

a machine platform for converting data associated with the at least one target asset into a common data format;

a data routing system for collecting data from the machine platform, where the data routing system operates in

a pass through mode in which data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application without modification; and

a data processing mode in which the data routing system generates modified data based on the data converted by the machine platform and sends the modified data to the at least one software application.
