  • Patent number: 11195228
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes: receiving a first input value associated with a first data field; responsive to determining that the first data field is associated with an equivalence operation, selecting a second input value associated with a second data field of a previously transmitted message, where the second input field corresponds to the first input field; comparing the first input value and the second input value to determine if the first input value and the second input value are equivalent; and, when the first input value and the second input value are equivalent, generating a message that omits the first input value for the first data field, and providing an operator symbol indicating the equivalence operation to specify that the second input value of the second data field in the previously transmitted message is to be associated with the first data field of the message.

  • Patent number: 9311321
    Abstract: In one example a method includes: receiving a first input value associated with a first data field; responsive to determining that the first data field is associated with an increment operation, selecting a second input value associated with a corresponding second data field of a previously transmitted message; comparing the first input value and second input value to determine if the first input value includes a sum of the second input value and an increment value; when the first input value includes the sum of the second input value and increment value, generating a message that omits the first input value for the first data field, and providing an operator symbol indicating the increment operation to specify that the first data field of the message is to be associated with the sum of the increment value and second input value of the second data field in the previously transmitted message.

  • Patent number: 9299106
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes: receiving a first input value associated with a first data field; responsive to determining the first data field is associated with a delta operation, selecting a second input value associated with a corresponding second data field of a previously transmitted message; comparing the first input and second input values to determine if the first and second input values are equivalent; when the first and second input values are not equivalent, generating a message, wherein the first data field includes only data of the first input value not included in data of the second input value, and providing an operator symbol indicating the delta operation to specify that the first data field of the message includes only data of the first input value that is not included in data of the second input value associated with the second data field of the previously transmitted message.

  • Patent number: 8972497
    Abstract: In one example a method includes: selecting, by a computing device, a message description that indicates a pre-defined operator is associated with a message data field; receiving, by the computing device, information associated with the message data field; responsive to determining that the information indicates the message data field does not include data, determining, by the computing device, whether to include, in a second message that is associated with the message description, a data value for the message data field of the second message based on the pre-defined operator that is associated with the message data field, wherein the data value is stored by the computing device and is associated with the message data field.
