Abstract
The present invention offers a system which operates with reference to a dictionary for registering a registered data string as correlated to a registration number and for performing a data compressing process by replacing a combination consisting of two or more character strings with a registration number mentioned above. The system according to the present invention performs the compilation and updating of the dictionary at the Step A1 and A2, respectively, and judges at the Step A3 whether or not the dictionary has become the optimum dictionary. The system performs the updating of the dictionary in such a case by an incremental decomposition method, or an augmentative decomposition method, or the like. Then, as shown for the Steps A4 and A5, the system compiles the optimum dictionary, at which stage the system puts out the dictionary as the ultimate static dictionary for its use for data restoration and also performs a data compressing process with reference to the above-mentioned static dictionary, putting out the compressed data as the ultimate compressed data to be used for data restoration.
