US 4,692,865 A · Method and a system for composing the pattern of the chinese character

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a system for composing patterns of predetermined less-frequently-used Chinese characters using an information processor, causing the memory occupation to be significantly decreased and the composing speed to be significantly increased and, furthermore, causing the Chinese character to be exactly, ornamentally generated. In accordance with the method and system, a first memory section stores patterns of frequently-used characters and a second memory stores command data. The command data is processed to obtain two patterns from the first memory section, one of the two patterns yielding a first pattern part and the other of the two patterns yielding a second part. The two pattern parts are then used to compose the patterns of less-frequently used Chinese characters.

Dependent claims

A method for composing a series of requested Chinese characters which are a part of a plurality of predetermined less-frequently-used Chinese characters using a digital computer system, said method comprising the steps of:

(a) a storing in a first memory section of said digital computer system a plurality of entire patterns of predetermined frequently-used Chinese characters;
(b) storing in a second memory section of said digital computer system command data for composing said predetermined less-frequently-used Chinese characters;
(c) retrieving a datum of said command data from said second memory section for one of said requested Chinese characters;
(d) processing said retrieved command datum to obtain two selected entire patterns from said first memory section, to obtain two pattern parts, a first pattern part and a second pattern part, from said two selected entire patterns, and to compose said requested Chinese character by using said two pattern parts;
and
(e) repeating said steps (c) and (d) until said series of requested Chinese characters is entirely composed.
