What is the correct name of this error correction method (it is similar to Hamming Code) - networking

Question

What is the correct name of this error correction method?
It is quite similar to Hamming Code, but much more simple. I also cannot find it in the literature any more. The only internet sources, I'm now able to find, which describes the method, are this:
http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/~cheung/Courses/455/Syllabus/2-physical/errors-Hamming.html
And the german-language Wikipedia.
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fehlerkorrekturverfahren
In the Wikipedia article, the method is called Hamming-ECC method. But I'm not 100% sure, this is correct.
Here is an example, which describes the way the method works.
Payload: 10011010
Step 1: Determine parity bit positions. Bits, which are powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.) are parity bits:
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Data to be transmitted: ? ? 1 ? 0 0 1 ? 1 0 1 0
Step 2: Calculate parity bit values. Each bit position in the transmission is assigned to a position number. In this example, the position number is a 4-digit number, because we have 4 parity bits. Calculate XOR of the values of those positions (in 4-digit format), where the payload is a 1 bit in the transmission:
0011 Position 3
0111 Position 7
1001 Position 9
XOR 1011 Position 11
--------------------
0110 = parity bit values
Step 3: Insert parity bit values into the transmission:
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Data to be transmitted: 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0
Is is quite simple to verify, if a received message was transmitted correctly and single-bit errors can be corrected. Here is an example. The receiver calulates XOR of the calculated and received payload bits where the value is a 1 bit. Is the result is 0, there the transmission is error-free. Otherwise the result contains the position of the bit with the wrong value.
Received message: 0001101100101101
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Received data: 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1
Parity bits: X X X X X
00101 Position 5
00111 Position 7
01011 Position 11
01101 Position 13
XOR 01110 Position 14
--------------------
01010 Parity bits calculated
XOR 00111 Parity bits received
--------------------
01101 => Bit 13 ist defective!
I hope, anybody here knows the correct name of the method.
Thanks for any help.

This looks like a complicated implementation of the Hamming(15,11) encoding & decoding algorithm.
Interleaving the parity bits with the information bits does not change the behaviour (or performance) of the code. Your description only uses 8 information bits, where the Hamming(15,11) corrects all single bit errors even with 11 information bits being transmitted.
Your description does not explain how the transmitted 12-bit message gets extended to a 16-bit message on the receive side.
