  • a) compressing data with software acting as an encoder, said software running on a first device in network communication with other devices, said compressed data to be transmitted to a second device in the network running software acting as a decoder, said compressing consisting of representing runs of data with at least one identifier;

    b) storing said at least one identifier and corresponding data represented by said at least one identifier in a database associated with said encoder;
