METHODS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING DATA
First Claim
1. A method for compressing data, wherein one or more types of encoding are applied to one or more data blocks containing financial data, with packet independent data encoding being performed, at least in part, based on data residing within data fields in the one or more data blocks, the method comprising:
- recognizing at least one of any characteristic, attribute, or parameter of the data residing within the data field in the one or more data blocks;
selecting an encoder associated with the at least one of the characteristic, attribute, or parameter of the data field;
encoding data in the data field utilizing the selected encoder; and
associating a recognizable data token with the encoded data, the recognizable data token being capable of identifying the selected encoder.

Abstract
The transmission of broadcast data, such as financial data and news feeds, is accelerated over a communication channel using data compression and decompression to provide secure transmission and transparent multiplication of communication bandwidth, as well as reduce the latency. Broadcast data may include packets having fields. Encoders associated with particular fields may be selected to compress those particular fields.

15. A method for compressing data, wherein one or more types of encoding are applied to a payload portion of one or more data packets transmitted in sequence, the transmission occurring from one of an internal or external source, the internal or external source being distinct from an encoder performing the compression, the one or more types of encoding comprising packet independent data encoding being performed, at least in part, based on one or more identifiable data fields within the one or more data packets, the method comprising:
-
recognizing at least one of any characteristic, attribute, or parameter of the data residing within at least one of the one or more identifiable data fields; selecting an encoder associated with the recognized characteristic, attribute, or parameter of the data; encoding the data with the selected encoder to provide encoded data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

28. A method for processing data residing within data fields of data packets, comprising:
-
recognizing at least one of any characteristic, attribute, or parameter of the data field by analyzing the content of the data field; selecting an appropriate encoder associated with the recognized characteristic, attribute, or parameter; performing packet independent compression of the data field using the selected encoder to create encoded data; and broadcasting the encoded data through a plurality of communication channels. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
