Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data compression methods face challenges in representing longer digital data codes in shorter codes while ensuring recoverability, particularly in differentiating additional information from original data and maintaining adaptability across various digital file types such as text, graphics, music, and video, which often results in inefficient compression or expansion rather than true compression.

Innovation Solution

The CHAN FRAMEWORK and CHAN CODING method organize and encode digital data using a flexible schema that allows for lossless compression and encryption, enabling the representation of random digital information by analyzing the characteristics of Code Units and their relationships, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional compression methods.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments digital data into fixed-length code units (e.g., 8-bit bytes) and processes them as discrete entities. This segmentation allows systematic application of compression techniques while maintaining the ability to reconstruct original data through corresponding decoding operations, resolving the contradiction between compression and reliable recovery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces code units as intermediary elements between the original digital data and the compressed representation. These code units serve as a standardized medium that can be manipulated for compression while preserving the information necessary for lossless reconstruction, acting as a mediator that enables both compression and reliable recovery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If compression methods add additional information to enable recovery, then reliability of decompression is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter representation by organizing data into standardized code units with fixed lengths. This parameter transformation simplifies the compression and decompression processes by providing a uniform structure, reducing the complexity of the coding schema while maintaining decompression accuracy through consistent unit-based processing.

Inventive Principle:

3Manufacturing precision

If compression methods are designed for specific data types, then manufacturing precision is improved, but adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal compression framework that operates on standardized code units applicable to various data types including text, graphics, music, and video. This multi-functional approach maintains compression efficiency by treating different data types uniformly at the code unit level while adapting to their specific characteristics, thereby achieving both precision and versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms diverse data types into a common parameter representation through standardized code units. This parameter change enables the same compression methodology to be applied across different data types, maintaining efficiency through consistent processing while achieving broad adaptability by accommodating various formats through their unified code unit representation.

4Productivity

If traditional methods compress data to shorter codes, then productivity is improved, but loss of information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression speedVSAvoiddata fidelity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments data into discrete code units that preserve complete information within each unit. This segmentation enables rapid processing and compression operations while ensuring that no information is lost, as each code unit maintains its integrity and can be fully reconstructed during decompression, achieving both productivity and data fidelity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A framework and the associated method, schema and design for processing digital data, whether random or not, through encoding and decoding losslessly and correctly for purposes including the purposes of encryption/decryption or compression/decompression or both. There is no assumption of the digital information to be processed before processing. An universal coder is invented and now pigeonhole meets blackhole.
