20120310899 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT DATA EXCHANGE IN A MULTI-PLATFORM NETWORK OF HETEROGENEOUS DEVICES - A normalization engine, system and method provide normalization of and access to data between heterogeneous data sources and heterogeneous computing devices. The engine includes connectors for heterogeneous data sources, and conduits for gathering a customized subset of data from the data sources, as required by a software application with which the conduit is compatible. Working together, the connector and conduit may gather large amounts of data from multiple data sources and prepare a subset of the data that includes only that data required by the application, which is particularly advantageous for mobile computing devices. Further, the conduit may process the subset data in various formats to provide normalized data in a single format, such as a JSON-formatted REST web service communication compatible with heterogeneous devices. As an intermediary, the normalization engine may further provide caching, authentication, discovery and targeted advertising to mobile computing and other computing devices. | 12-06-2012 |
