Method for converting infusion pump messages into standardized dataset messages
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11923076B2) discloses a method, apparatus, and non-transitory physical computer storage for processing messages received from network devices. The method involves converting a first message into a second message with a different format, including additional information and an indicator for processing and caching. The apparatus includes processors and memories to execute instructions for message conversion and transmission to a remote server. The non-transitory physical computer storage stores instructions for receiving, converting, and transmitting messages, along with detecting protocols and generating message converters.
The patent claims cover various aspects of the method, apparatus, and computer storage, including handling key-value pairs, detecting protocols, generating message converters, and categorizing parameter information in the second message. The innovation lies in efficiently processing messages from network devices by converting them into a standardized format with added information for processing and caching. The system's ability to distinguish between information to be processed and added to a cache from information that does not require processing enhances data management and transmission efficiency. Overall, the patent aims to streamline message processing and transmission in network communication systems, improving data handling and system performance.
