Abstract
A system for processing data is provided. The system includes a data acquisition device and a central device. The data acquisition device is coupled to an object under test for receiving raw data from the object under test, and transmits the raw data. The central device receives the raw data from the data acquisition device, and performs a web application with a web interface for providing application data based on the raw data.
Core Innovation
A system for processing data includes a data acquisition device that acquires raw data from an object under test through a data interface coupled to the object under test. The data acquisition device includes a first network data transceiver electrically coupled to the data interface for wireless communication, and a central device that communicates with a plurality of user devices and includes storage.
The central device wirelessly receives the raw data via a second network data transceiver, stores the raw data in the storage, and performs a web application with a web interface. The raw data is converted into application data by performing a data calculation application, and each of the user devices is capable of utilizing the application data.
The central device transmits the application data to a first user device through a network according to a request from the first user device. The first user device transfers the application data into a data object and displays the data object for a user to operate, and the central device receives an instruction and a device configuration from the first user device through the network to set up the data calculation application and configure the data acquisition device wirelessly communicated with the central device.
In multi-acquisition-device operation, the system broadcasts synchronization signals with timing information so acquisition devices calibrate timestamps for correlation across devices, including approaches using a tunable oscillator and timing correction data. The architecture also describes centralized hub embodiments with no display and control panel and a real-time acquisition mode when the acquisition device lacks non-volatile storage.
Claims Coverage
The document presents two independent claims: one for a system for processing data and one for a central device for processing data. Across these independent claims, the inventive features center on centralized web-application conversion of raw data into application data, wireless data transmission between acquisition and user devices and the central device, and receiving user instructions and device configuration to set up the data calculation application and configure the acquisition device.
Centralized wireless processing with raw-to-application conversion
A data acquisition device acquires raw data from an object under test, wireless transmits the raw data to a central device that stores the raw data and performs a web application with a web interface to provide application data, where the raw data is converted into the application data by performing a data calculation application, and each user device utilizes the application data.
Request-based application-data transmission to user devices and data-object interaction
The central device transmits the application data to a first user device through a network according to a request from the first user device, wherein the first user device transfers the application data into a data object and displays the data object for a user to operate.
User-instructed setup of the data calculation application and acquisition-device configuration
The central device receives an instruction and a device configuration from the first user device through the network, wherein the instruction instructs the processing unit to set up the data calculation application in the central device, and the device configuration configures the data acquisition device wirelessly communicated with the central device.
Central device architecture for wireless reception and web-interface conversion
A central device comprises storage, a first network data transceiver for wirelessly receiving raw data from a data acquisition device, and a processing unit electrically coupled to the storage and the first network data transceiver for storing the raw data and performing a web application with a web interface for providing application data based on the raw data, where the raw data is converted into the application data by performing a data calculation application for a plurality of user devices.
Taken together, the independent claims define a centralized system in which raw data from an object under test is wirelessly received and stored at a central device, converted into application data by a data calculation application within a web application and web interface, and then transmitted to user devices upon request for data-object display and operation. The central device also receives user instructions and device configuration to set up the data calculation application and to configure the wirelessly communicated data acquisition device.
