Abstract
A record conversion device and method, including a preferably software implemented conversion engine, which receives formatted input records from an input record generating device, converts the records into a different (universal) format in real time and, depending upon the output host device(s), into an output specific format and transmits the converted records to the output host device(s). Messages, i.e., information, from output host device(s) can also be transferred, via the conversion device, to the input record generating devices. By rapidly processing new and/or incompatible record formats, the invention minimizes the cost of maintaining information management systems and maximizes their usage. The conversion device input and output architecture is flexible and the conversion device can be used with multiple (networked or non-networked) input record generating devices and single or multiple record storage devices using multiple record output formats.
