  • System and method for lossless compression of already compressed files
    Patent number: 7502514
    Abstract: A system and method for losslessly compressing already compressed files, such as JPEG files. The inventive method involves full or partial decompression of the original file, and re-compression using various advanced data compression techniques. Decompression involves decompression using the advanced techniques and re-compression using the original techniques. This method and system saves on data storage space and allows for the reconstruction of an original compressed file for use in applications that require or support the original compressed format.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 10, 2009
    Assignee: Smith Micro Software, Inc.
    Inventors: Yaakov Gringeler, Darryl Lovato
  • System and method for lossless compression of digital images
    Patent number: 7184603
    Abstract: A method for improving lossless image compression by using multiple lossless image compression techniques and adapting the best one to each image. An RGB compressor receives an image file and splits the image into rectangular block types. Different digital image and/or sub-image (block) types are optimally compressed using a compression techniques particularly well-suited for the particular kind of image or block.
