Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4540401
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method and system are provided to perform a process of managing communications in an environment including a mobile work machine (105) having one or more on-board data links (128, 129) connected to one or more on-board modules (125, 127) and a gateway (120) and including one or more off-board data links connected to one or more off-board systems (130-150) and the gateway (120). The process is performed by the gateway (120) and includes receiving a request generated by a source device and transmitted on a first data link. In one embodiment, the first data link may be either one of the on-board data links (128, 129) and one of the off-board data links. Based on the request, the gateway (120) selectively executes a server application that performs a server process. Further, the gateway (120) identifies a destination device associated with the request, configures the request to a format compatible with the destination device, and provides the formatted request to the destination device. Additionally, the gateway (120) receives a response to the formatted request generated by the destination device, configures the response to a format compatible with the first data link, and sends the response to a target device over the first data link.
