What changed

USPTO published patent application US20260094691A1 on April 2, 2026, disclosing methods for protecting digital image files from loss. The invention encodes each digital image file in a set of same-sized files, computes final check symbols, and distributes check symbols evenly across the file set for transmission and subsequent error recovery. The technology uses Reed-Solomon or similar encoding to create error correction blocks for file repair.

This is a patent application publication, not a regulatory requirement. No compliance actions are required from any entity. Technology companies developing digital image transmission or storage systems may wish to review for potential licensing considerations, though patent protection rights are established by filing date (October 1, 2024) rather than publication date.

Abstract

Methods and data structures provide protection for a set of digital image files from loss, wherein the set of digital image files comprises a plurality of digital image files of a same size. Methods include encoding each digital image file in the plurality thereof, encoding the resulting check blocks by computing a final check symbol, and embedding the check symbols and final check symbols into the plurality of digital image files in a manner distributed approximately evenly over the plurality of digital image files. The digital image files may be transmitted to a receiver, and decoded, including detaching the check symbols and final check symbols, creating a plurality of error correction blocks from the same, and using these to recover or repair any errors in the received digital image files.
