发明名称 Method and apparatus for processing a transform function, a reference file and parameter information that represent a data file
摘要 A method and apparatus for processing a transform function and parameter information to represent data files is described. In one embodiment, the method includes processing at least one data file to identify a reference file, a transform function and parameter information and storing the transform function and the parameter information, wherein the transform function and the parameter information is applied to the reference file to create the at least one data file.

主权项 1. A method comprising: processing at least one data file, wherein the at least one data file comprises first image data that represents a first graphic design, andthe processing comprises: determining a reference file, a transform function, and parameter information, wherein the determining comprises identifying the reference file, wherein the reference file comprises second image data that represents a reference graphic design,determining the transform function by comparing the first image data and the second image data, wherein the transform function is configured to transform the reference graphic design into the first graphic design, andextracting the parameter information from the first graphic design, wherein the parameter information identifies at least one graphic difference between the first graphic design and the reference graphic design, and the parameter information is configured to be used by the transform function to transform the reference graphic design into the first graphic design, andquerying content creation software to identify the reference file, the transform function, and the parameter information, wherein the content creation software is configured to generate the at least one data file, andthe content creation software is configured to store identifying information used to identify the reference file, the transform function, and the parameter information; storing the transform function and the parameter information in a backup storage subsystem during a backup process, wherein the transform function and the parameter information require less storage space than the at least one data file, andthe transform function and the parameter information are configured to facilitate restoration of the at least one data file by virtue of being configured to be applied to the reference file; and restoring the at least one data file to a client computing system, wherein the restoring comprises applying the transform function and the parameter information to the reference file, and the applying creates the at least one data file.
