System and method for generating output data

摘要

The present invention relates to a primary apparatus for generating an output for use with a secondary apparatus, both apparatuses having a first configuration and second configuration respectively. A configuration validator determines if the first and second configurations are compatible with each other. A conflict module determines conflict between the first configuration and the second configuration. A corresponding system, software and method are also disclosed.

1. A primary apparatus for generating an output for use with a secondary apparatus, the primary apparatus comprising a computer configured with: a configuration validator for determining if a first configuration of the primary apparatus corresponds with a second configuration of the secondary apparatus; a conflict module for determining a conflict between the first configuration and the second configuration; a data source validator for either skipping or filtering unsupported features in an input to the primary apparatus after the conflict is determined by the conflict module, the input being a source file having a format supported by the first configuration and the unsupported features including features not supported in the second configuration; and an output generation module to generate the output based on the input after the unsupported features have been skipped or filtered by the data source validator, wherein each of the first configuration and the second configuration is associated with a conflict feature set.
