Abstract:

This invention is for encoding of Chinese & Japanese ideographic characters which are digitized into a numeric format compatible for computer access and retrieval. Each Chinese & Japanese character is indexed by a numerical code. Each character is individually identified by an eight(8)-digit Geo-Stroke code, comprised of a four (4)-digit "FRAME" code and a four (4)-digit "ID" code. The coding method conforms to general writing habits, resulting in an input method both easy and convenient for an operator to learn and utilize. Each of the (10) Geostrokes used to input Chinese & Japanese character is assigned to a numeric digit (0-9). Each of the Geostrokes resembles one of the numeric digits available on the 10-key pad. By using this method both Chinese and Japanese ideographic character can be easily input and retrieved by using a 10-key design. By using this invention, both Chinese and Japanese computer users can now use one entry system to manipulate both languages and be completely compatible and interchangeable.

First Claim:

Show all 5 claims

I claim:

1. A method of encoding Chinese and Japanese ideographic characters for computer entry, retrieval and processing, comprising the steps of:
a) categorizing the geometrical strokes utilized to form ideographic characters into ten stroke family types and assigning a distinct Arabic numeral, ranging between 0-9, to each of said ten stroke types, wherein each stroke is categorized to closely resemble it's assigned numeral;
b) reading the stroke formations at four strategic locations, the two upper corners and the two lower-side edges, on the periphery of a character in a "Z" sequence to obtain a four-digit FRAME code for the character;
c) identifying the block formation pattern of the character and selecting a particular block or sub-block thereof as an ID block, in accordance with a set of rules; and
d) reading the stroke formations at four strategic locations, the two upper corners and the two lower-side edges, of the selected ID block of the character in a "Z" sequence to obtain a four-digit ID code therefore; wherein each ideographic character is uniquely identified by an eight-digit Geo-Stroke code comprising a corresponding four-digit FRAME code and a corresponding four-digit ID code.

Beijing wire on 7-26,1993:

(I) Very few people use Pinyin Method now,
as too many people speak various dialects.
(II) The Radical Method is too difficult to learn and use,
not practical in daily living use.
It can not be promoted widely to general public
and to Chinese-character-using population.

Problems on both shores are the same.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Solution:

10-key GeoStroke,
an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, and good-for-OnLine-use
digitized Chinese Input System,
is the solution to these problems.
