Instant protocol selection scheme for electronic data transmission
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting source data generated at a source system formatted with a source data format and protocol to a remote destination system which may require a different, incompatible protocol, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. determining at the transmitting source the destination protocol;
b. checking the compatibility of the source data and the requirements for the destination data;
c. converting at the transmitting source the source data to a compatible data for the remote destination system if the source data and the requirements for the destination data are not compatible; and
d. initiating transmission of the converted source data in the compatible protocol requirements.

Abstract
The protocol scheme of a destination or receiving station is identified by a source or sending station in order to permit automatic reformatting of the source data into a compatible format and protocol scheme before transmission is initiated. The destination protocol is logged in the source system so that the protocol can thereafter be determined by destination address. The scheme is also capable of determining the protocol and format of the sending station, selecting the appropriate protocol and converting the data to a compatible format.
