  • Patent number: 4672679
    Abstract: A generalized method and apparatus for compression and decompression of textual information. Compression is performed by reading in succession each character and an associated context of a text, selecting for each character and associated context a corresponding code character, and providing the resulting code characters as the compressed form of the text. Decompression is a symmetric, inverse operation wherein the contexts associated with the code characters are read from a known decompressed portion of text. The context of a character is a group of text characters associated with a text character and containing a fixed number of characters. Text and code characters and contexts are related through a table containing a relative alphabet for the contexts of the language of the text.
