Abstract

A data collection system for distributing data from at least one target asset to at least one software application, comprising a machine platform and a data routing system. The machine platform stores data associated with the at least one target asset. The data routing system collects data from the machine platform. The data routing system operates in a pass through mode and a data processing mode. In the pass through mode, data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application without modification. In the data processing mode, the data routing system generates modified data based on the data stored by the machine platform and sends the modified data to the at least one software application.

Claims (32)

1. A data collection system for distributing data from at least one target asset to at least one software application, comprising:

a set of at least one machine platforms, where

each target asset is associated with at least one machine platform,

data is associated with each target asset, and

each machine platform transfers the data associated with at least one target asset in at least one of a plurality of machine platform formats;

a plurality of data sources, where each data source is configured to collect, from at least one machine platform, data in at least one of a plurality of machine platform formats;

a motion server, where the motion server is configured to convert data in at least one machine platform format to at least one universal format;

a protocol server, where the protocol server is configured to convert data in the at least one universal format to data in a protocol format; and

a data routing system, where the data routing system causes the data collection system to operate in

a pass through mode in which data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application in the at least one universal format; and

a data processing mode in which data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application in the protocol format.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one target asset comprises a motorized vehicle.

3. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one target asset comprises a motorized watercraft.

4. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one target asset comprises a global positioning system.

5. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one target asset comprises a radio frequency identifier device.

6. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one target asset comprises a global positioning system and a radio frequency identifier device.

7. A data collection system for distributing data from at least one mobile asset to at least one software application, comprising:

at least one machine platform, where

at least one mobile asset is associated with at least one machine platform,

data is associated with at least one mobile asset, and

each machine platform transfers the data associated with at least one mobile asset in at least one of a plurality of machine platform formats;

a plurality of data sources, where each data source is configured to collect data from at least one machine platform in at least one of the plurality of machine platform formats;

a motion server, where the motion server is configured to convert data in at least one machine platform format to data in at least one universal format;

a protocol server, where the protocol server is configured to convert data in the at least one universal format to data in a protocol format; and

a data routing system, where the data routing system operates in

a pass through mode in which data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application in the at least one universal format; and

a data processing mode in which data is passed from the at least one target asset to the at least one software application in the protocol format.

8. The system as recited in claim 7 , wherein at least one mobile asset comprises a motorized vehicle.

9. The system as recited in claim 7 , wherein at least one mobile asset comprises a motorized watercraft.

10. The system as recited in claim 7 , wherein at least one mobile asset comprises a global positioning system.

11. The system as recited in claim 7 , wherein at least one mobile asset comprises a radio frequency identifier device.

12. The system as recited in claim 7 , wherein at least one mobile asset comprises a global positioning system and a radio frequency identifier device.
