Abstract: A system for and method of providing a new client interface to an existing application. The various embodiments described employ a trainable user interface translator application to monitor, analyze, and reformat data packet streams. The translator application analyzes data packet streams during a training session using a first client device and a training terminal, and stores format information in format data packet maps for subsequent use following creation of a new client interface.
Abstract: A system for and method of automating the execution of a data stream transformation project. The various embodiments described employ a trainable user interface translator application to record and manipulate data streams between a prospect's terminal emulation software and one or more prospect applications to be transformed. A remote user in communication with the prospect may observe prospect terminal screen displays, and optionally insert data, such as synchronization data into the recorded data streams. The user inserts the recorded data streams information into a targeted procedures model, which may be reviewed for approval by the prospect.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for converting a first user interface used for existing applications running on a host computer to a second user interface for use on a client computer. The apparatus intercepts prompts and request for input from the host, converts them to a form appropriate for use on the client computer, and passes the converted prompts and requests to the client. The apparatus can store information for use at a later prompt or request, branch on the stored value to vary path execution, and handle errors generated by incorrect input.
