Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer information expressing method for expressing information by a combination of numbers when handling numbers in the computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A computer is composed of hardware and software. This hardware is shown in FIG.
As shown in the block diagram relating to the control direction and the data flow, information such as data and programs enters from the input device 1 and the result exits from the output device 2. The main storage device 3 is a device for storing information. The main storage device 3 is adapted to send information to the input / output devices 1 and 2, the arithmetic device 4, the control device 5 and the like at high speed. The auxiliary storage device 6 is a device that stores a large amount of information. Arithmetic unit 4
Then, arithmetic operations such as four arithmetic operations and comparisons are performed. The control device 5 generates a control signal for operating these devices in order.

[0003] Computer information consists of data and programs. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a computer expresses information using two different states of “high or low voltage” of an electric circuit. Usually, a high voltage state is represented by "1" and a low voltage state is represented by "0". The unit of information represented by using these two states is called one bit. Thus, the information of the computer expresses the information by one digit binary number. Computers use a sequence of several bits to several tens of bits of "0" and "1" to represent each character or numerical value. In principle, such a sequence is grouped into information. Exchanges and memories are performed. In addition, since characters such as alphabets and numbers are often expressed by 8 bits, an arrangement of 8 bits is called one byte (byte) as one unit.

In a computer, that is, in the processing device 7 and the main storage device 3, a basic unit of "0" and "1" is called a word, and the number of bits constituting one word is a word length. (Word length).

[0005] Therefore, in a computer, for a certain purpose, a set of the above bytes and words according to a certain rule is called a file. This file is stored in an external auxiliary storage device 6 such as a disk device or a flexible disk (FD).
Such files include a document file to be stored in a word processor or the like, a data file in which a series of numerical data is compiled, a program file for storing a source program, a machine language program, and the like.

[0006]

As described above, current computers use a sequence of several bits to several tens of bits "0" and "1" in order to represent each character or numerical value. Information is exchanged and stored in such a group. However, a circuit configuration based on positive logic that configures a circuit by associating a high voltage with “1” and a low voltage with “0”, and a negative logic with a low logic corresponding to “1” and a high voltage as “0”. There were only two basic logic circuits, such as a circuit configuration. Therefore, when a more complicated circuit is configured by using some of such basic logic circuits, there is a case where the both circuits are mixed without being unified into the positive logic or the negative logic.

[0007] A circuit constituting a computer is formed by combining basic logic circuits such as an AND circuit, an OR circuit, and a NOT circuit. It comprises a logic circuit that performs such various operations, a gate circuit that passes signals, a flip-flop that holds and retrieves information, a counter that counts the number of pulses, and an arithmetic circuit that implements operations.

Further, as shown in an explanatory view of FIG. 5, for example, in order to process and broadcast an image by a computer,
When expressed in binary, the huge amount of code "01001001"
01001... ”Is required, and there is a problem that the processing time becomes long.

[0009] On the other hand, in the natural world, there is a natural law that makes up RNA and DNA by repeating trial and error for hundreds of millions of years. Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has proposed a DNA "4" for learning natural information systems.
Focusing on the number "4" based on (ATCG),
I thought that this "4" could not be applied to the current computer.

The present invention has been made to solve such problems and points of view. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a computer information expression method which does not require an enormous amount of code and can reduce the processing time by improving the computer information expression method.
