Opcode specific compression for window system.

摘要

An opcode specific compression for Window Systems couples one or more computers having a plurality of client applications with a display server for displaying the client applications in corresponding windows. A proxy server couples the client applications via a communications link with a server interface. The server interface couples the communications link with the display server which formats information for the corresponding windows. Specific opcodes or sequences of opcodes are first encoded according to selected encoding techniques, then further compressed by delta compaction and generic compressors for transmission as data packets over the communications link. At the receiving end of the communications link the data packets are decompressed, decompacted and decoded in like manner to reproduce the information in the specific opcodes or sequences of opcodes.
