Device arrangement for deriving a communication data scheme
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a device arrangement to derive unknown portions of a communication data scheme. A proxy node is established in a communication path between two nodes configured to transmit communications according to a communication bus standard. The communication data included in the communications transmitted between the nodes conforms to a communication data scheme. The proxy node logs communications transmitted between the nodes via the communication path, resulting in a communication log. The communication log can then be used to derive unknown portion of the communication data scheme, such as commands for requesting specified data types and the data format for transmitting data of specified data types.
1. A method comprising:
establishing a communication path between a first node and a second node, the communication path comprising at least a first portion and a second portion connected via a proxy node;
receiving, at the proxy node located within the communication path, a communication transmitted from the first node to the second node, the communication corresponding with a communication data scheme that defines one or more attributes of communications transmitted via the communication path;
generating a log of the communication received at the proxy node, the log including metadata of the communication transmitted from the first node to the second node;
applying a machine-learned model to the log that includes the metadata of the communication transmitted from the first node to the second node; and
determining an attribute of the communication based on the machine-learned model.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the first portion and the second portion comprise a wireless communication pathway.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the attribute includes a data format.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first node is a vehicle diagnostic tool and the second node is a standardized communication port providing access to an on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second node is a standardized communication port providing access to a diagnostic system of an industrial machine.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
updating a file describing the communication data scheme based on the attribute of the communication.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metadata includes one or more of:
a source of the communication; and
a timestamp.
8. A system comprising:
one or more computer processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
establishing a communication path between a first node and a second node, the communication path comprising at least a first portion and a second portion connected via a proxy node;
receiving, at the proxy node located within the communication path, a communication transmitted from the first node to the second node, the communication corresponding with a communication data scheme that defines one or more attributes of communications transmitted via the communication path;
generating a log of the communication received at the proxy node, the log including metadata of the communication transmitted from the first node to the second node;
applying a machine-learned model to the log that includes the metadata of the communication transmitted from the first node to the second node; and
determining an attribute of the communication based on the machine-learned model.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein one or more of the first portion and the second portion comprise a wireless communication pathway.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the attribute includes a data format.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first node is a vehicle diagnostic tool and the second node is a standardized communication port providing access to an on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle.
12. The system of claim 8 ; wherein the second node is a standardized communication port providing access to a diagnostic system of an industrial machine.
13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:
updating a file describing the communication data scheme based on the attribute of the communication.
14. The system of claim 7 , wherein the metadata includes one or more of:
a source of the communication; and
a timestamp.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
establishing a communication path between a first node and a second node, the communication path comprising at least a first portion and a second portion connected via a proxy node;
receiving, at the proxy node located within the communication path, a communication transmitted from the first node to the second node, the communication corresponding with a communication data scheme that defines one or more attributes of communications transmitted via the communication path;
generating a log of the communication received at the proxy node, the log including metadata of the communication transmitted from the first node to the second node;
applying a machine-learned model to the log that includes the metadata of the communication transmitted from the first node to the second node; and
determining an attribute of the communication based on the machine-learned model.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein one or more of the first portion and the second portion comprise a wireless communication pathway.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the attribute includes a data format.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first node is a vehicle diagnostic tool and the second node is a standardized communication port providing access to an on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle.
