Title: Bridge interface which uses a configuration to determine which software modules to load
Inventor: REEVES ANDREW JOHN
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2010-08-09
Abstract: A bridge device has two interfaces. One may be connected to an existing computer system and the other may be connected to a new subsystem. The device has a processor and a memory containing software modules and configuration data. A first software module reads the configuration data and loads the modules identified by the data. When a signal is detected at one of the interfaces, a second module detects the signal and informs the first module that a signal has been detected. The first module then uses the configuration data to identify a sequence of modules to transform the received signal. It sends a signal to each of the identified modules in turn to cause them to perform the transformation and send the data from the other interface. The software modules carrying out the transformation may also use the configuration data.
