Abstract
A method for coding an event history is disclosed. Information relating to a real time state of an event is received. For a defined interval of time, it is determined whether the state of the event is in one of two states. In response to the event being in a first state, a data stream is appended with a first characteristic representative of the first state, and in response to the event being in a second different state, the data stream is appended with a second characteristic representative of the second state. The appended data stream is saved, and the process repeated for the next sequential defined interval of time.
