Patent ID: 8489492

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, 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, by the computing device, a second input value associated with a second data field of a previously transmitted message sent from the computing device, wherein the second input field corresponds to the first input field; comparing, by the computing device, the first input value and the second input value to determine if the first input value comprises a sum of the second input value and an increment value; and when the first input value comprises the sum of the second input value and the increment value, generating, by the computing device, a message comprising the first data field that omits the first input value for the first data field, and providing, by the computing device, 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 the second input value of the second data field of the previously transmitted message.
