Systems and methods for electronic communication with a device using an unknown communications protocol
| DWPI Title: Communication system for intercepting communications transmitted back and forth between two electronic systems, has processor for formatting communication to conform with communication schema and outputting communication to transceiver |
| Abstract: Various technologies for communicating with systems that communicate using an unknown communications protocol are described herein. A transceiver intercepts a plurality of communications exchanged between two or more transceivers on a communications network. Pattern-recognition algorithms are executed over the plurality of communications, and features of an unknown communications protocol that governs the communications between the two or more transceivers are inferred based upon output of the pattern-recognition algorithms. A communication is formatted based upon the inferred features of the unknown communications protocol, and the communication transmitted to one or more systems on the communications network by way of the transceiver. The communication at least partially conforms to the unknown communications protocol, and so may be interpreted by systems on the network. |
| Use: System for electronic communication with device using unknown communications protocol. |
| Advantage: The communication system comprises a transceiver that digitally samples a signal received by an antenna, where computing device is configured to format communications for transmission by way of the communication network, and thus enables to facilitate electronic communication with systems using an unknown communication protocol. |
| Novelty: The system (100) has a transceiver (108) that intercepts multiple communications between two or more transceivers in a communications network (104). The communications conform to an unknown communications protocol. A computing device comprises a processor that executes the instructions stored in a memory to generate communication pattern data by executing a pattern-recognition algorithm over the communications. The processor generates a communications schema based on the communication pattern data, formats a first communication to conform with the communications schema, and outputs the first communication by way of the transceiver to a first transceiver in the communications network. |
