Appeal No. 97-0244
Application 08/042,357
3. An encoding system for generating an encoded
represen-tation for a value "i" in response to a base
value "b," a value "n" identifying a number of characters
in each of a series of encoding groups in the
representation, and a value "s" identifying a number of
characters in a termination identifier identifying the
end of the encoded representa-tion, the encoding system
comprising:
A. an encoding group number determining element for
determining a value "N" identifying the number
of encoding groups for the representation in
accordance with
N=GI{log [(b-1)i+1]}
b
where "GI" represents the greatest integer function;
B. an encoded value difference determination
element for using the value of "N" as determined
by the encoding group number determining
element, and the value of base "b," to determine
an encoded value difference value * in
accordance with
*=(b -1)/(b-1);N
C. an encoded value identifier element for using
the encoded value difference value * to generate
an encoded value i' in accordance with
i'=i-*;
D. an encoding group value determining element for
determining values of each encoding group a in
j
accordance with
