Abstract:
A method of compression is disclosed in which an input sequence of bits is divided into a plurality of portions. Each portion is sub-divided into a plurality of sub-divisions. Frequency analysis is performed to determine the number of occurrences of each sub-division permutation and new values are assigned, based on the frequency analysis, to each of the sub-division permutations. For each portion a label representing the permutation of bits in that portion is assigned. The label comprises a representation of a combined value resulting from combining the new values associated with the sub-division permutations of that portion. A processed sequence of bits is generated by replacing, within the input sequence of bits, bit portions with the respective label representing the permutation of bits in that portion.

Claim (Index 22):
A method of processing data, the method comprising the steps of:\n (i) dividing the data into a plurality of processing segments wherein each processing segment comprises an input sequence of bits; (ii) identifying a current processing configuration defining a current processing bit length for use in processing a current processing segment of said data to form a processed segment meeting at least one predetermined processing criterion; (ii) dividing the current processing segment into a plurality of portions wherein each portion has a respective portion bit length equal to said current processing bit length and wherein the bits in each portion are arranged in a respective one of a number of possible permutations; (iv) assigning a respective label to each of a plurality of said possible permutations; (v) forming a processed segment by replacing, within said current processing segment, bit portions comprising bits arranged in one of said plurality of possible permutations with the respective label assigned to that one of said possible permutations; (vi) identifying a new processing configuration for use in processing a next processing segment of said data to form a processed segment meeting at least one predetermined processing criterion; and (vii) repeating, for each of said plurality of processing segments, steps (ii) to (vi) wherein the new processing configuration is used as the current processing configuration and the next processing segment of said data is used as the current processing segment, and wherein the processing configuration used for at least one of said processing segments of said data defines a different processing bit length to a processing bit length defined by a processing configuration used for at least one other of said processing segments of said data.
