1. A system for minimizing the storage or transmission of digital information signals, comprising:
- (a) data register means for storing said digital information signals at locations in timed relationship with each other corresponding to the order of receipt of said digital signals,(b) means including a repeat logic circuit for detecting repetition of digital information signals substantially the same as previously transmitted digital signals;
(c) means for detecting the start and length of said repetition relating to said digital signals;
(d) means for deriving a digital repeat code including data relating to the start and length of said repetition when said repetition of said digital signals is detected;
(e) means for inserting said repeat code in said data register means to provide encoded data in locations time related to said digital signals previously stored therein;
(f) utilization means, and(g) means for transferring said encoded data from said data register means to said utilization means.

Abstract
Digital information is encoded prior to storage for minimizing the space required for storage of the digital information. The data is compared with prior received data such as to detect repetition. When repetition is detected, a code indication of the period of repetition and the duration of repetition is inserted in the stored data. Information is restored utilizing decoding networks responsive to the inserted codes which cause reinsertion of the repetitions.
