TRANSCODING OF COMMUNICATION WITH PERSONAL HEALTH DEVICES

摘要

In embodiments, devices, computer-readable media, and methods for personal health device transcoding may be described. A transcoding module may serve as an interface between a manager device implementing an IEEE 11073-20601 (“IEEE 11073”) standard and a personal health device that does not implement the standard. The transcoding module may be configured to interact with one or more models of an IEEE 11073 stack implemented by the manager device. The transcoding device may be configured to redirect requests from the models and emulate responses from the personal health device such that the personal health device appears, to the manager device, to implement the IEEE 11073 standard. The transcoding module may perform the emulation asynchronously, through transcoding of communications with the personal health device, or may synchronously generate responses on behalf of the personal health device. Other embodiments may be described.

1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating communications between a personal health device and a manager device, the manager device configured to implement a stack of health information protocols, the method comprising;
redirecting, by a transcoding module executing on a computing device, a communication to be sent between the manager device and the personal health device via the stack of health information protocols, such that the communication is not sent through the entire stack of health information protocols; emulating, by the transcoding module, transmission of the communication to the personal health device; and emulating, by the transcoding module, transmission of one or more responses from the personal health device to the manager device such that the one or more responses appear, to the manager device, to be generated by the personal health device through implementing the stack of health information protocols.
