  • Conversion of data from a first file type to a second file type for use by a telecommunications equipment inventory system
    Patent number: 8019759
    Abstract: Data files produced by one inventory scan are converted for use by a different inventory process so that multiple inventory scans to address multiple inventory processes are avoided. A subset of the categories of data from a first data file is extracted and included in a second data file. The second data file is provided with a different file type and format than the first data file. Additional information may be provided within the second data file such as data provided as user input and/or data that is looked-up from other sources. The second data file is uploaded to an inventory process such as by being sent to a file transfer protocol server where it is available for subsequent consideration by an inventory server.
