Newgen Software, a provider of digital transformation solutions, has received an Indian patent for a ‘System and Method for Data Compression.’ The patent term is 20 years starting from April 26, 2017, as per the Patents Act, 1970.
The patented invention targets efficient compression of large volumes of data files where most content is similar but contains small differences. This approach is designed for cases where traditional compression methods are less effective. The system aims to reduce storage requirements and enhance the speed and efficiency of data processing.
This method is particularly applicable to industries managing high volumes of structured documents, forms, and system-generated reports, helping them reduce storage costs and improve data handling performance.
Newgen’s system identifies data files with similar structures and divides them into static and dynamic regions. It then applies video compression techniques by treating the files as sequential frames. This results in a single compressed video file along with metadata for accurate storage and retrieval.
The granted patent strengthens Newgen’s capabilities in building specialized applications that support digital transformation efforts across various organizations.
