Dynamic conversion of byte ordering for use on different processor platforms
First Claim
1. A method for providing a dynamically converted, byte-ordered data structure of a resource type to a device, the data structure being converted from a first format to a second format, the first format being incompatible with the second format, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) creating a template corresponding to the data structure of the resource type, the template having a structure in a third format, the third format being compatible with the first and second formats;
(b) linking the template to the resource type; and
(c) converting automatically the byte-ordering of the data structure of the resource type from the first format to the second format using the template; and
(d) sending the converted data structure of the resource type to the device.

Abstract
The invention is a method for dynamically converting the byte-ordering of a data structure of a resource type from a first format to a second format, the first format being incompatible with the second format. The method comprises the following steps: (a) creating a template which corresponds to the data structure of the resource type, the template having a structure in a third format which is compatible with the first and second formats; (b) linking the template to the resource type; and (c) converting automatically the byte-ordering of the data structure of the resource type from the first format to the second format using the template.

7. A system for dynamically converting byte-ordering of a data structure of a resource type from a first format to a second format, the first format being incompatible with the second format, the system comprising:
-
(a) a server including;
a resource file system having a database for storing the resource type, the resource type being stored in a first format, the resource file system creating a template corresponding to the data structure of the resource type, the template having a template structure in a third format, the third format being compatible with the first and second formats, the resource file system linking the template to the resource type; and
(b) a device in electrical communication with the server, the device requesting the resource type in the second format;
wherein the resource file system automatically converts the byte-ordering of the data structure of the resource type from the first format to the second format using the template. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
