`
`
`1. (Currently Amended) A method for compressing data, comprising thestepsof:
`
`analyzing a data block of an input data stream to identify a-datetype one or more data
`
`
` isting of Claims
`
`es of the data block, the input data stream comprising a plurality of disparate data types;
`
`performing content dependent data compression enthe-data-bleck, if the a data type of the
`
`data block is identified;
`
`
`
`performingcententindependent data compression enthe-data-bleek with a single data
`
`compression encoder,if the a data type of the data block is not identified.
`
`23. (New) The method ofclaim 1, further comprising outputting a compressed data block.
`
`24. (New) The method of claim 1, further comprising appending a data compression type
`
`descriptor to a compressed data block.
`
`25. (New) The method of claim 24, further comprising outputting the compressed data
`
`block with the appended data compression type descriptor.
`
`26. (New) A method for compressing data, comprising the steps of:
`
`analyzing a data block ofan input data stream to estimate one of a plurality of data
`
`compression methodsor encoders that would provide a highest compressionratio for the data
`
`block;

`

`’
`
`selecting the data compression method or encoder estimated to provide the highest
`
`ompressionratio for the data block; and
`
`compressing the data block with the selected data compression method or encoder.
`
`27. (New) The method of claim 26, further comprising outputting the compressed data
`
`lock.
`
`28. (New) The method of claim 26, further comprising appending a data compression
`
`type descriptor to the compressed data block.
`
`29. (New) The method of claim 28, further comprising outputting the compressed data
`
`block with the appended data compression type descriptor.
`
`30. (New) A method for compressing data, comprising the stepsof:
`
`analyzing a data block of an input data stream to identify a data type of the data block, the
`
`input data stream comprising a plurality of disparate data types,
`
`if the data type of the data blockis identified, then the method further comprising:
`
`performing content dependent data compression to compressthe data block;
`comparing a content dependent data compression ratio ofthe compressed data
`
`block againstafirst threshold;
`
`appending a data compression type descriptor to the compressed data block;
`
`outputting the compressed data block and appended data compression type

`
`descriptor, if the content data compressionratio is above the first threshold; and
`
`performing data compression on the data block with a single data compression
`
`encoder, if the content dependent data compressionratio is not above thefirst threshold.
`
`
`
`31. (New) The methodof claim 30, wherein if the data type of the data block is not
`
`identified, then the method further comprising:
`
`performing data compression with a single default data compression encoder to compress
`
`the data block;
`
`comparing a default data compression ratio of the compressed data block against a second
`
`threshold;
`
`if the default data compressionratio is below the second threshold, then appending a null
`
`data compression type descriptor to the data block and outputting the data block and appended
`
`null data compression type descriptor; and
`
`if the default data compression ration is above the second threshold, then appending a
`
`default data compression type descriptor to the compressed data block and outputting the
`
`compressed data block and appended default data compression type descriptor.
