METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DATA CONVERSION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and device for data exchange, which enable data exchange with data in unknown format while making good use of unique items that respective systems handle. SOLUTION: A similar format retrieving function 5 retrieves a data format similar to that of transmission-side data sent from a transmissions-side computer system from a data format database 6 stored with a plurality of data formats. Then a related rule extracting function 7 extracts a conversion rule based upon the data format retrieved by the similar format retrieving function 5 from a rule database 6 stored with a plurality of conversion rules. Then a rule generating function generates a conversion rule for converting the transmission-side data by using a correspondence database 10 stored with the correspondence relation between the conversion rule extracted by the related rule extracting function 7 and the data format. A conversion executing function converts the transmission-side data according to the conversion rule generated by the rule generating function and outputs the converted data.
