Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates generally to hashing techniques for data files, and more particularly, to hashed data structures and hash comparison systems and methods utilizing the hashed data structures, which compare hash values ββwith unique characteristic information of source files together, so faster file comparisons. Background technique
[0002] Comparisons between multiple data, especially data files, have been used in various operations. For example, such file comparison has been substantially used in various operations to check changes between files in an operating system (OS) or to compare a patch file with a source file to execute a predetermined patch.
[0003] Conventional file comparison techniques that have been used include a method of comparing all files, a method of assigning version information to files and checking files based on the version information, a method of applying a hash function to files and then comparing files, and ...
