METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING COMPRESSED DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18128448 titled 'METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROCESSING COMPRESSED DATA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for processing compressed data efficiently by allocating a shared buffer space for receiving and converting compressed metadata and data. This shared buffer space eliminates the need for separate buffers for each processing step, improving memory efficiency and reducing complexity in memory pool configuration.

  • Determining the size of original data based on parsing the header of a compressed data packet
  • Allocating a shared buffer space for receiving and converting compressed metadata and data
  • Storing the compressed data packet in the shared buffer space

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various fields such as data compression, network communication, and file storage systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for processing compressed data involve: determining, based on parsing of a header of a compressed data packet, a size of original data corresponding to compressed data, wherein the compressed data packet comprises the header, compressed metadata, and the compressed data. The techniques further involve: allocating, based on the size of the original data, a shared buffer space for receiving and converting the compressed metadata and the compressed data; and storing the compressed data packet in the shared buffer space. The shared buffer space can be used for the receiving and conversion processing of compressed data at the same time, without allocating a separate buffer space for each processing, thereby improving the memory efficiency. Since the allocated shared buffer space is used for both receiving processing and conversion processing, the complexity of configuration of a memory pool is also reduced.
