Automatic message prediction system uses message unique characteristic for handling message transfer to reduce network traffic

摘要

An automatic message prediction system operable in a communications system including a transmitter and a receiver is disclosed. The receiver receives at least a portion of a message and tries to identify from the message portion, a message previously received by the receiver. If successful, the receiver calculates a checksum for the previously received message and transmits the checksum as a prediction of the remainder of the message to the transmitter. On receipt from the transmitter of an indication that the prediction is correct, the receiver completes the message from the previously received message.
