Patent ID: 7286647

Claim:
A computerized system for processing telecommunications detail records, the system comprising: (a) a network-side input/output interface for receiving a plurality of data streams from a plurality of network probes in communication with one or more telecommunication networks, the data streams including telecommunications detail records and being transmitted in heterogeneous input formats, wherein the input format created by a first network probe is different from the input format created by a second network probe; (b) a mapping and format configuration module for defining one or more data mappings from one or more of the heterogeneous input formats to one or more output formats; and (c) a plurality of adapter instances in electronic communication with the network-side input/output interface for applying the defined data mappings to the received data streams and producing a plurality of output data streams such that the output data streams are formatted according to at least one of the one or more output formats, wherein the plurality of adapter instances includes a first adapter instance for processing the input format created by the first network probe and a second adapter instance for processing the input format created by the second network probe.
