Patent ID: 8806317

Claim:
A method for encoding digital data using a microprocessor comprising the steps: computing a parity code (P(A), P(B), P(C)) for a respective data word (A, B, C) of a series of data words to be encoded in a sequence, the parity code (P(A), P(B), P(C)) being computed on the basis of the data of the respective data word (A, B, C); altering the respective data word (A, B, C) with the aid of the data word (A, B, C) preceding it in the series, with the altered data word (Aa, Ba, Ca) and the parity code (P(A), P(B), P(C) representing the encoded data word (Ac, Bc, Cc); and decoding the encoded data word (Ac, Bc, Cc) with the aid of the data word (A, B, C) preceding it in the series.
