DATA CONVERSION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVERTING DATA THAT IS DISTRIBUTED IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A data conversion system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- an interface gateway device configured to be communicatively coupled with a data acquisition module and a client module, the data acquisition module obtaining a value of a data parameter related to operation of the vehicle and communicating the value to the interface gateway device in a first message provided in a first format;
wherein the interface gateway device is configured to convert the first format of the first message into a different, second format to form a second message and to communicate the second message to the client module, for the client module to use the second message to perform a function for the vehicle.

Abstract
A data conversion system for a vehicle includes an interface gateway device that is configured to be communicatively coupled with a data acquisition module and a client module. The data acquisition module obtains a value of a data parameter related to operation of the vehicle and communicates the value to the interface gateway device in a first message provided in a first format. The interface gateway device is configured to convert the first format of the first message into a different, second format to form a second message and to communicate the second message to the client module. The client module uses the second message to perform a function for the vehicle.
