Abstract

The present invention discloses a search engine system with coded information and a search method using the same. The system includes a key word input part, a database for storing information as word codes which are not real standard words, and a central process unit for assigning a word code assigned to a standard word to a word input through the key word input part or a client system, and searching information corresponding to the word code of the input word through the database. In the invention, when key word(s) relating to information to be searched are input through the information input system, the input words are coded and the search is performed using the word codes through the database, thereby searching the information more precisely. In addition, since a plurality of different words having similar or same meanings are coded as one standard word code according to a simple coding rule and stored in the database, the process time for searching the information can be greatly reduced.

Claims24

Dependent claims

An information coding and retrieval system comprising:

an in put part for inputting words;
a database for storing information and a central process unit for searching the information in the database,
wherein the system further includes a word database for storing words and word codes with the process of;
setting a finite number of basic words which represent their own meanings symbolically;
capable of describing a word with the compound of one or more basic-words;
codifying the basic words into the basic word codes;
and
forming the word code after compounding the basic word codes, featured by;
selecting a ward to be coded, and choosing the basic words which are capable of describing the word;
making the selected word's word code through compounding the chosen basic words;
and,
providing two and/or more word codes for multiple meaning words;
wherein the database stores information as a form of word codes in the manner above mentioned;
wherein a central process unit is adapted to convert input words from input part or client system into a word code via the word data base;
to convert into only one word codes out of two and/or more word codes for multiple meaning words, through user's choosing one of them after multi-meanings shown on the display, or with the method of selecting one word code through algorithm;
and to search the information with the method of comparing the basic word codes within the converted word code and the basic word codes within the word code of the information which is stored in the word data base;
wherein the database further comprises at least one command word descriptive of and for operating a computer program, and a word code including a basic word code representative of the command word, and
wherein, when the coded retrieval word for the retrieval word includes the basic word code corresponding to the at least one command word, the central process unit operates a computer program corresponding to the at least one command word.

and to search the information with the method of comparing the basic word codes within the converted word code and the basic word codes within the word code of the information which is stored in the word data base;
wherein the database further comprises at least one command word descriptive of and for operating a computer program, and a word code including basic word code representative of the command word, and
wherein, when the coded retrieval word for the retrieval word includes the basic word code corresponding to the at least one command word, the central process unit operates a computer program corresponding to the at least one command word.
