First Claim
Patent Images
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 configured to obtain a value of a data parameter related to operation of the vehicle and to communicate the value to the interface gateway device in a first message provided in a closed format, the closed format having rules of syntax that are not publicly available;
wherein the interface gateway device is configured to determine that the first message is provided in the closed format by extracting one or more set of bits of the first message and comparing the one or more sets of bits to different identification sets of bits that are associated with different formats of message, the interface gateway device being further configured to convert the closed format of the first message into an open format to form a second message, the open format having rules of syntax that are publicly available, the interface gateway device further configured 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.

6. 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 interface gateway device configured to receive a first message provided in an open format from the data acquisition module, the first message including a value of a data parameter related to operation of the vehicle, the open format having rules of syntax that are publicly available; wherein the interface gateway device is configured to determine that the first message is provided in the open format by extracting one or more set of bits of the first message and comparing the one or more sets of bits to different identification sets of bits that are associated with different formats of messages, the interface gateway device being further configured to convert the open format of the first message into a closed format to form a second message and to communicate the second message to the client module for use in performing a function for the vehicle, the closed format having rules of syntax that are not publicly available. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A data conversion system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a first client module configured to be communicatively coupled with an interface gateway device and one or more second client modules, me one or more second client modules configured to communicate indirectly with the interface gateway device via the first client module, wherein the first client module is configured to receive a data parameter from the interface gateway device in a first message having a first format, the data parameter related to operation of the vehicle, the data parameter previously received by the interface gateway device from a data acquisition module in a second message having a different, second format; and wherein the first client module is configured to periodically publish the data parameter for communication of the data parameter at regular, repeated time intervals to the one or more second client modules for use by the one or more second client modules in performing a function for the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for converting data for a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving a value of a data parameter related to operation of the vehicle in a first message from a data acquisition module to an interface gateway device, the first message provided in a first format; determining whether the first format is an open format or a closed format by extracting one or more set of bits of the first message and comparing the one or more sets of bits to different identification sets of bits that are associated with different formats of messages, the open format having rules of syntax that are publicly available and the closed format having rules of syntax that are not publicly available; converting the first format of the first message into a different, second format to form a second message; and
communicating the second message to a client module, for the client module to use the value of the data parameter to perform a function for the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for converting data for a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data parameter related to operation of the vehicle in a message, the message provided in a closed format, the closed format having rules of syntax that are not publicly available, wherein the data parameter is received from an interface gateway device that receives the data parameter from a data acquisition module in an open format having rules of syntax that are publicly available; and periodically publishing the data parameter for communication to one or more client modules at regular, repeated time intervals, the one or more client modules communicating indirectly with the interface gateway device, the one or more client modules configured to use the data parameter for a function of the vehicle.
