Abstract
A method and apparatus for representing sets of Chinese or Asian characters having complicated and basic ideographic symbols in collision free combinations of English letters to provide one-code-one-character ideographic character coding.
Claims15
A computerized collision-free Chinese or Asian character coding method for representing sets Chinese or Asian characters having complicated and basic ideographic symbols comprising:
- a) collecting a whole set of Chinese or Asian characters;
- b) defining basic ideographic symbols included in the set;
- c) decomposing each Chinese or Asian character into a tree structure with non-terminal nodes representing complicated ideographic symbols and terminal or leaf nodes representing basic ideographic symbols;
- d) associating each basic ideographic symbol with exactly one English letter;
- and
- e) iteratively repeating steps b, c and d until all characters in the set are represented by at least one English letter.

A computer system for collision-free coding of sets of Chinese or Asian characters having complicated and basic ideographic symbols comprising:
- a) a computer processor;
- b) a database of a whole set of Chinese or Asian characters inputted into the computer processor;
- c) an analytical computer program defining basic ideographic symbols included in the set inputted into the computer processor for:
- i. decomposing each Chinese or Asian character into a tree structure with non-terminal nodes representing complicated ideographic symbols and terminal or leaf nodes representing basic ideographic symbols;
- ii. associating each basic ideographic symbol with exactly one English letter;
- and
- d) iteratively repeating step c until all characters in the set are represented by at least one English letter.
