Description

The utility model relates to the field of digital processing and data transmission and can be used to select, process and deliver data from various sources to client devices for receiving and displaying information with intermediate conversion of file formats.

A known system comprising terminals (telephones) connected to a telecommunication network and having a processor and a memory unit, a unit for dividing information into a set of attributes, a search unit for a first record, a unit for finding a first record, an assignment unit for this first record, a search unit for a second record, a finding unit the second record, the assignment unit of the second record of a numerical value, the optimization blocks and the telephone call direction block [RU, 2099895, C1, cl. H 04 M 1/66, 3/38, 3/42, 1997].

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is the relatively narrow functionality, since the device allows the switching of information flows, but does not allow this process with an intermediate conversion of file formats.

Also known is an information processing system comprising an information processing device including identification information elements, identification information output means, comparison means, selective reception means, and also first and second data processing means with corresponding connections [RU, 2236703, C2, G 06 F 19 / 00, 09.20.2004].

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is the relatively narrow functionality, since the device allows

to carry out the switching of information flows, but does not allow to carry out this process with the intermediate conversion of file formats.

Closest to the technical nature of the proposed system is a system comprising at least one device for providing identification codes, at least one device for generating requests and receiving responses to requests, at least one actuating device for performing a service to a user connected to the device for generating requests and receiving responses to requests, a central control device, including a device for requesting and generating responses to requests, associated with the first and second ports of the central control device for connecting to communication channels, a device for generating service identification codes connected to a device for receiving requests and generating responses to requests, a memory device for storing identification codes of goods or services connected to a device for receiving requests and generating responses for requests and with a device for generating identification codes, wherein said at least one device for providing identification codes with dineno communication channel with the first port of the central control device, and said at least one device receiving the query and the responses to requests communication channel is connected with the port which central control unit [RU, 2162245, C1, G 06 F 19/00, 2000].

In addition, in this system, the device for generating requests and receiving responses is made in the form of a personal computer connected to the second port of the central control device via a computer network.

The disadvantage of the closest technical solution is the relatively narrow functionality, since the system

allows you to switch and display information flows on a personal computer screen, but does not allow this process to be carried out with an intermediate conversion of file formats. This complicates the device because it requires separate technical means for processing information with various data formats, and also limits the ability to provide information to users in the formats they use.

The required technical result is to expand the functionality.

The required technical result is achieved by the fact that, into the system containing the memory block, a group of direct blocks for converting file formats, a data sampling block, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs with the outputs of a group of blocks for direct converting file formats, a data template generation block, the input of which is connected to the output of the data selection block, and the output is connected to the output of the memory block, as well as a group of blocks of the inverse transformation of file formats, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs of the memory block.

The drawing shows a structural diagram of a data transmission system with the conversion of file formats. The listing shows an example of converting the HTML file format to the XML format and vice versa with an intermediate selection of information from the file.

A data transmission system with file format conversion contains a memory block 1, a group of blocks 2-1 ... 2-K direct conversion of file formats, a data sampling block 3, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs with the outputs of the group of blocks 2-1 ... 2- To direct conversion of file formats, block 4 for generating data templates, the input of which is connected to the output of block 3 of the data sample, and the output is connected to the output of block 1 of the memory, as well as a group of blocks 5-1 ... 5-M inverse conversion of file formats, the inputs of which are connected to the outputs of memory unit 1.

Each of the system units can be made in the form of a microprocessor unit or a computer, for example, HP Proliant DL 380G4 Xeon-3.2 GHz / 800 Mhz / 1 MB, 1GB (2 * 512 MB) DDR2.

It is possible to transfer the functions of the system blocks to one powerful physical server.

Data conversion in the system is performed using the W3C XSLT standard for describing templates and supporting template expansion through the use of "scripts" Jscript, C # Script, Regular Expressions.

The functions of the blocks described above and an example of converting file formats are sufficient for the execution of system blocks (their programming).

A data transfer system with file format conversion works as follows.

The file format conversion data transfer system supports the following data sources: HTML / XHTML Connector, XML Connector, RSS Connector, BizTalk Connector, Regular Text Files Connector, Database Connector (ADO DB), Web Services Connector and others.

Various subscriber devices, in particular, mobile personal computers, can be used as devices for receiving and displaying data. Tablet PG, information kiosks, handheld computers, smartphones, etc.

In the above data sources and devices for their reception and display, the following data formats are most often used: MS Word, XML, HTML, PDF, RTF.

A data transfer system with file format conversion is designed to collect information from various sources (public web resources, servers, databases, electronic documents, multimedia files, etc.), further process and / or change its structure, presentation format and etc. in a user-friendly form for subsequent delivery to reception and display devices, in particular to mobile

personal computers. Tablet PG, information kiosks, handheld computers, smartphones, etc.

The indicated problem in the proposed system for converting file formats is solved by sequentially converting the source data formats into a single format, for example, the XML format, generating from the source data the view required for each of the information recipients according to a given template, and converting the generated template to the format specified by the corresponding information recipient.

To do this, initially the data in the form of corresponding files, coming from various sources to the inputs of blocks 2-1 ... 2-K, is converted in these blocks to a standard format for this system, for example, the XML format. Format conversion is the standard procedure used in most practical applications.

It is further assumed that the type or type of information required for the entire group of recipients is known. Therefore, from the transformed in blocks 2-1 ... 2-K to the standard type of files, the appropriate fragments are selected, for example, concerning economic sports or political news. This is not difficult, for example, when processing Internet sites, where news is already divided into sections. Fragments are allocated and stored in the block 3 data sampling.

In addition, in agreement with each of the recipients, a data presentation template is formed that includes a specific type of information and its sequential location. This procedure is performed in block 4 of the formation of data patterns.

The generated data templates enter block 1 of the memory for storage. The newly formed patterns in block 4 replace the earlier ones in block 1.

At a given time frequency or at the request of the recipient, the templates from block 1 of the memory arrive in the corresponding blocks 5-1 ... 5-M

reverse format conversion. In these blocks, the file formats are inverted from the standard XML for the system in question to the format required for each of the recipients.

Thus, in contrast to the known devices, the proposed system is characterized by wider functionality, since it allows not only to switch and receive data, but also to perform intermediate conversion of file formats.
