Patent number: 8510459Abstract: In one form the invention provides a method of modifying a data file for transmission over a data network. The method comprises the steps of receiving the original data file and creating a header file, the header file including the length in bytes of the original data file. At least one repetition byte sequence is identified within the original data file, the repetition byte sequence comprising a byte value that is repeated consecutively within the repetition byte sequence. A modified data file is created by replacing the repetition byte sequence with a repetition marker, the repeated byte value, and a repeat frequency value representing the number of times the repeated byte value occurs within the repetition byte sequence. The repetition marker is added to the header file. The invention further provides a method of transmitting a data file to a remote device over a data network.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: PacByte Software Pty LimitedInventors: Bruce Parker, Robert Ward Holder

Patent number: 7224293Abstract: The invention provides a method of compressing a data file comprising a sequence of bytes of a length greater than or equal to a predefined length, the method including the steps of: retrieving the data file from a secondary storage device; storing the data file in direct access memory; calculating the frequency of unique byte values within a sub-sequence of the data file, the sub-sequence having a length not exceeding the predefined length; creating an index for the sub-sequence, the index including a data value representing the calculated frequency of unique byte values within the sub-sequence; and on the sub-sequence having a frequency of unique byte values below a predetermined threshold, applying a data transformation to the sub-sequence to increase the frequency of unique byte values in the sub-sequence and adding to the index a data value representing the data transformation; on the sub-sequence having a frequency of unique byte values above a predefined threshold, adding to the index a data value reprType: GrantFiled: October 15, 2004Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Pacbyte Software Pty LimitedInventor: Bruce Parker
