Abstract
The disclosure is related to encoding a message or portions of the message to be exchanged between a pair of users. Messages can be exchanged between a pair of users in multiple ways, e.g., electronic mail, short messaging service (SMS), messenger applications. The computing resource, e.g., network bandwidth consumed in transmission of the messages, can be minimized by encoding/compressing at least portions of a message prior to transmission. A server analyzes messages exchanged between a pair of users to identify message portions, e.g., a word or a phrase, that are commonly exchanged and generates a set of codes for those message portions. The pair of users can use the set of codes for encoding and/or decoding the messages exchanged between them. The codes are generated using a specified coding technique, e.g., Huffman coding.
