Data compression for communication between two or more components in a system

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions that, if executed, cause a computing device to:

• generate a first symbol string code indicative of one or more first positions of a first symbol string within data to be compressed;
• generate a second symbol string code indicative of one or more second positions of a second symbol string within the data, wherein a first position of the second symbol string is determined based at least in part upon a length of the data and the first symbol string code;
• and
• combine the first symbol string code and the second symbol string code into a compressed data code.

An apparatus comprising:

• means for generating a first symbol string code indicative of one or more first positions of a first symbol string within data to be compressed;
• means for generating a second symbol string code indicative of one or more second positions of a second symbol string within the data, wherein a first position of the second symbol string is determined based at least in part upon a length of the data and the first symbol string code;
• and
• means for combining the first symbol string code and the second symbol string code into a compressed data code.

An apparatus comprising:

• a computing platform, said computing platform being configured to
• generate a first symbol string code indicative of one or more first positions of a first symbol string within data to be compressed;
• generate a second symbol string code indicative of one or more second positions of a second symbol string within the data, wherein a first position of the second symbol string is determined based at least in part upon a length of the data and an end position of the first symbol string code;
• and
• combine the first symbol string code and the second symbol string code into a compressed data code.

A method comprising:

• generating a first symbol string code indicative of one or more first positions of a first symbol string within data to be compressed;
• generating a second symbol string code if an end position of the first symbol string code is beyond a length of the data, wherein a first position of the second symbol string code is based at least in part on a number of positions of the end position beyond the length of the data;
• and
• combining the first symbol string code and the second symbol string code into a compressed data code.

An apparatus comprising:

• a computing platform, said computing platform being configured to read data that has been compressed by a method comprising
• generating a first symbol string code indicative of one or more first positions of a first symbol string within the data to be compressed;
• generating a second symbol string code indicative of one or more second positions of a second symbol string within the data, wherein a first position of the second symbol string is based at least in part on a length of the data and the first symbol string code;
• and
• combining the first symbol string code and the second symbol string code into a compressed data code.
