  • Behavioral translation of datalink messages between different protocols and platforms
    Patent number: 6862649
    Abstract: The digital communication system (DCS) provides communication between users utilizing digital communication protocols. The DCS includes a first protocol interface system in communication with a first user for identifying a first message type of a first message being passed between the first user and the first protocol interface system. A second protocol interface system is in communication with a second user for identifying a second message type of a second message being passed between the second user and the second protocol interface system. A behavioral translator is in communication with the first protocol interface system and the second protocol interface system for receiving messages from either the first or the second protocol interface system. The behavioral translator performs behaviors sufficiently consistent with the users, based on the identifications of the first and second message types, so as to provide substantially seamless communication between the users.
