Abstract
A generic interface device may operate as an interface with different types of electronic data devices that perform data operations. The interface device may establish communications with one of these data devices, and identify the particular type of data device based on data received from the data device. Using the identified type of data device, the interface device downloads a suitable computer program from a server. By executing the downloaded program, the interface device is able to obtain, understand and output specialized data produced by the data device.
