Abstract
A method for analyzing a character string, the method including: analyzing a character string to determine one of more characters of the character string; determining from a dictionary source, an alternative character string to the analyzed character string; comparing the analyzed character string with the alternative character string to determine a weighting factor for each of the characters of the analyzed character string relative to the positional arrangement of the characters in the alternative character string; and for each determined weighting factor, generating for each of the characters in the analyzed character string a corresponding character of a particular size as determined by the weighting factor.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method for analyzing a character string, the method comprising:
- analyzing a character string to determine one of more characters of the character string;
- determining from a dictionary source, an alternative character string to the analyzed character string;
- comparing the analyzed character string with the alternative character string to determine a weighting factor for each of the characters of the analyzed character string relative to a positional arrangement of the characters in the alternative character string;
- and
- for each determined weighting factor, generating for each character in the analyzed character string a corresponding character of a particular font size as determined by the weighting factor, the generating including modifying the font size of the corresponding character based on the weighting factor.
An apparatus for analyzing a character string, comprising:
- a computer device configured for:
- analyzing a character string to determine one of more characters of the character string;
- determining from a dictionary source, an alternative character string to the analyzed character string;
- comparing the analyzed character string with the alternative character string to determine a weighting factor for each of the characters of the analyzed character string relative to a positional arrangement of the characters in the alternative character string;
- and
- for each determined weighting factor, generating for each character in the analyzed character string a corresponding character of particular font size and height as determined by the weighting factor, the generating including modifying the font size of the corresponding character based on the weighting factor.
Computer program code stored on a computer readable hardware storage device for performing a method for analyzing a character string, when loaded into a computer system and executed, the method comprising:
- analyzing a character string to determine one of more characters of the character string;
- determining from a dictionary source, an alternative character string to the analyzed character string;
- comparing the analyzed character string with the alternative character string to determine a weighting factor for each of the characters of the analyzed character string relative to a positional arrangement of the characters in the alternative character string;
- and
- for each determined weighting factor, generating for each character in the analyzed character string a corresponding character of particular font size and height as determined by the weighting factor, the generating including modifying the font size of the corresponding character based on the weighting factor.
