Patent ID: 7096360

Claim:
A new digit data compression method providing the means to transport parallel digital data over a serial medium, comprising the steps of: (a) Gathering N bits of binary Digital Data; where N is the Data Gathering Rate setting; from a useful application; (b) Compressing the binary data by converting its binary value into a decimal value called the Binary Data Value and using the following calculation where the Data Frequency; in hertz; equals the Base Frequency plus the Binary Data Value; (c) Presenting the said Data Frequency to a Frequency Generating Device such as a Frequency Encoder which asserts the frequency on a serial medium for a duration of time equal to the Frequency Detection Period; the amount of time necessary for the recipient to detect and decode the asserted frequency; (d) Detecting and Decoding the asserted Data Frequency by a device; such as but not limited to a Frequency Decoder; as the Decoded Frequency; (e) Converting the said Decoded Frequency into the said Binary Data Value whereas the said Binary Data Value equals the said Decoded Frequency minus the said Base Frequency; (f) Zero-filling the said Binary Data Value most significant bits until the number of bits zero filled are equal to the said Data Gathering Rate; (g) Presenting the zero filled binary data to any Useful Application; whereby parallel data can be transported over a serial medium providing high volume data transfers over commonly available media.
