US Patent Issued to FOVIA on May 6 for "Bit prediction method and system using a statistical model" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 10 -- United States Patent no. 12,293,308, issued on May 6, was assigned to FOVIA INC. (Palo Alto, Calif.).

"Bit prediction method and system using a statistical model" was invented by Georgiy Buyanovskiy (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and apparatus for bit prediction and data compression are provided. In the bit prediction method and apparatus, a specific Suffix Trie is used to maintain a statistical model to predict the next bit in a bit-stream. The statistic model provides the probability for each next or following bit in the bit stream, where an entropy encoder/decoder further encodes/decodes the predicted bit. The algorithm simplicity and ...
