Figure 2 is a flow chart illustrating a Unicode conversion method of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a Unicode conversion method of a mobile terminal source file, and in particular, it is possible to Unicode conversion of words or characters used in the source file for the mobile terminal in units of files, thereby improving work efficiency and preventing errors. The present invention relates to a Unicode conversion method of a mobile terminal source file.

As the spread of portable terminals increases, manufacturers supplying portable terminals of various countries may be distributed in various countries around the world. Thus, in order to produce export terminals for each country, handset makers required new design changes according to language codes. Therefore, the movement of using Unicode to standardize codes used in each language is increasing.

All words and sentences inside the GSM terminal that support Unicode are converted to Unicode to work. Unicode is an extension language code that can support multiple languages if a font is provided. Here, the Unicode (UTF-16, Unicode 2.0) currently used will be described.

Since different countries use different encodings for the same or similar meanings of characters, major computers around the world are trying to solve them by integrating them into a single character set, causing problems with the compatibility and scalability of materials and programs. The universal character code set by the companies as an industry standard is called 'Unicode'. In other words, Unicode is the name of an international code convention proposed to represent the languages of the world in a unified way.

Computers developed in the US were defined based on English, so 26 characters of English alphabets and 1 byte were enough to represent some special characters, so all the information was expressed in units of 1 byte. Characters such as Hangul, Hanja, or Japanese, which are language expressions, are made based on the structural problems of computers expressing one character by combining them into two bytes because the structure is different from English and cannot be expressed in one byte. That is, until now, codes used in each country had different fonts in the same code area. For example, even if the same double-byte characters are used, Korean text cannot be identified in Japanese computer environments.

By default, Unicode uses 16 bits to represent a character. In Unicode 2.0, there are 65536 characters (OXOOOO ~ OXFFFF) of code areas, 38885 of which are already allocated for major national language implementations, 6400 of which are Private Use Areas, and 202049 of which will be added in the future. It is left blank for the Language Use Area.

Currently assigned major languages are ASCII, American, Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Thai, Symbols, Punctuation, Arabic, Japanese, Hangul Jamo, CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters, ideographs (Hanja), modern HangulSyllables, Surrogates, etc.

As for the code allocation rate, the highest number of Chinese characters is 39.89% (20902 characters), followed by Korean characters 17.04% (11172 characters), ASCII and symbolic characters 10.39% (6811 characters).

The design principle of Unicode 2.0 is based on 16-bit code, which makes it possible to fully code and unify all languages, code equivalence, and code compatibility. That is, the existing codes are accommodated internally for compatibility with other existing codes. This advantage facilitates switching between different codes. For example, if you needed N × N tables to switch between existing codes, you only need 2 × N tables for Unicode. Therefore, it is possible to convert a non-Unicode code to Unicode with only a predetermined conversion table, and it is also easy to convert it back to a predetermined code.

In order to convert words and sentences to be used in a conventional GSM terminal to Unicode, all the words and sentences used are received with a file marked with an English comment, the file is converted into a word or sentence unit on a personal computer (PC). Generally, a program developed for this purpose is written in the Java language, and consists of input columns called [input 1] and [input 2]. In [Input 1], enter the English word of the word you want to convert. In [Input 2], enter the language code (text code) of the word you want to convert, and convert it in the [Result] window. Unicode is displayed. This means that the binary status of Unicode is not output, but the code value of Unicode is displayed as text characters.

As described above, an input file in which a language code of a country in which a terminal is to be manufactured and an English comment corresponding to the language code is listed is converted through a conversion program for each word or sentence to obtain a code of the corresponding word, and the new file is converted into a new file. You will get the terminal source file (* .h) by repeating the manual operation. Here, the input file refers to a file created by the target language unique code and the English comment, and the output file refers to a file converted from the target language code into Unicode. The output file is a source file (* .h) for the terminal.

1 illustrates a conventional Unicode conversion method. As shown in the drawing, a procedure of receiving a word or a sentence and outputting the corresponding Unicode is shown.

As shown, first, a language code to be converted to Unicode and a corresponding English comment are input. In this case, input may be performed in units of words or sentences. The predetermined portion of the input file is copied and pasted into the input window of the Unicode conversion program.

As described above, a unique code of a language to be converted and an English word or sentence corresponding to a word or sentence composed of the corresponding code are input to the input windows, and a predetermined button is pressed to perform the conversion.                         

When the conversion is performed as described above, the Unicode conversion program converts the contents of the input window into character strings, and determines the number of words from each of them.

If it is determined that the number of words written with the unique code and the number of English annotation words match, the result is an input error. Therefore, it is an input error, so it waits for input from an input window or stops while outputting an error message. After converting the Unicode of each word by the algorithm, it is output as Unicode to the result window. Copy the output Unicode (actually a code value consisting of text characters) and paste it manually into the resulting file.

By repeating the above process, all native language codes in the input file are converted to Unicode and stored as an output file (Unicode header to be used in the project for the terminal).

In other words, it is cumbersome because it is necessary to manually convert the input file statements to create the output file. Therefore, it is difficult to fit the lines of the output file because it converts the native language code consisting of 1 byte into 2 byte Unicode. In addition, the probability of errors (repeats, omissions, comings, etc.) due to manual operation may increase.

To prevent this, there is a need for a method of generating an output file by Unicode converting the input file into a file unit.

As described above, the conventional Unicode conversion method of a mobile terminal source file opens an input file composed of a language unique code and an English comment, copies the contents in word or sentence units, and then converts them through a word / sentence Unicode conversion program. By repeating the process of copying the obtained Unicode to a new file, it is a manual operation to generate a file for the terminal project afterwards, which requires time and effort, and has a high risk of error.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for converting a unique code to a word and a sentence to Unicode without an English comment for generating a mobile terminal source file, specifying an input file, and converting a unique code word to be converted from the file. It is an object of the present invention to provide a Unicode conversion method of a mobile terminal source file that can reduce conversion time and error by providing a method of generating a Unicode output file by inputting English words by user selection.

The present invention for achieving the above object, in the Unicode conversion method of the terminal source file for generating a Unicode source file for a mobile terminal, comprising the steps of preparing an input file recorded in a unique language code with an English comment; ; Designating the input file and designating the output file; Inputting unique code words and English comment words to convert; Only when the inputted unique code words and English comment words match, the inputted unique code words and English comment words are classified into words and stored in a buffer, and a temporary file is generated to convert the unique code into Unicode. Storing it with the English comment; Generating an output file while repeatedly performing all the words recorded in the temporary file by replacing the unique code with the same English comment in the input file with the Unicode corresponding to the English comment recorded in the temporary file. It is characterized by including.

Preparing a word / sentence unit conversion according to a user's selection after preparing the input file, inputting a unique code word / phrase to be converted except for an English comment in an input window; The method may further include dividing the input words into words and storing them in a buffer, and outputting Unicode to a corresponding output window.

When described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment of the present invention as follows.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the present invention and illustrates a case in which word / phrase unit conversion and file unit conversion are simultaneously provided.

First, let's look at the process of word / phrase unit conversion. This is substantially similar to the conventional method, but with the difference that no English comment is required.

The user prepares an input file with the unique codes of various languages and English comments for them. This is a material for generating a source file (* .h) from the project file for the terminal, the user who will use the present invention will perform the Unicode conversion work with the file thus created.

If the input file is prepared and the contents of the file are viewed, a list of unique code values written in text characters and an English comment indicating the meaning can be viewed. Now, copy the unique code values among them and paste it into the input window of the Unicode conversion program to which the present invention is applied. As described above, an embodiment of a program used for word / sentence conversion may be written in various languages (Visual C ++, Visual Basic, Delphi, etc.) in addition to a Java program. An output window corresponding to the input window, and a button for a conversion command.

Unique code words / phrases inputted into the input window are divided based on lines and stored as strings (strings) in the buffer.

By converting the inputted unique code word / phrase into Unicode by the user's command (pressing a button, etc.) to start conversion, it is preferable to output the converted Unicode in the same line as the input window. Do. In this case, since the length of the unique code (for example, 1 byte for European languages and 2 bytes for Asian languages) is known according to the language used without the English comment separately, it can be converted to Unicode for each word. . This is repeated for every string stored in the buffer.

By copying and arranging the Unicode output by the above process, an output file (Unicode header file) can be generated. That is, the conventional method can be performed more simply.

Next, the file conversion process will be described. This selection can be set by the user in the conversion program to which the present invention is applied. The file conversion program basically includes a part for input file selection, a target word input window for inputting conversion words, a corresponding English comment input window, and a button for starting conversion.                     

First, the location of the input file is recognized by the conversion program. This can be done by using a file search button or directly inputting the file. When the input file to be converted is designated as described above, the temporary file and the output file to be created later have the same file name as the input file name, and only the extension is changed to tmp, new, or the like. Naturally, this can be changed to a desired file name by user input.

After selecting the input file as above, all the unique code values of the words to be converted and the corresponding English comments are all listed in a separate input window so that they are located on the same line. List all unique code words you want to convert, and make them correlated by listing corresponding English comments on the same line in the same number. Note that different unique code values should have different comments. The comment serves as a kind of identification mark (index) in the Unicode conversion of the file unit.

When the user instructs the conversion, it is determined whether the number of words in the target word input window (input window in which the unique code values are listed) and the number of words in the English comment input window match. do. If the number of words match, the unique code values and the English comments are all stored in a buffer and then divided into word and sentence units, and the unique code values are converted into Unicode values to generate a temporary file with the English comments. . The temporary file may be provided to the user along with the output file, and serves as a conversion table that contains the contents of the conversion, and thus becomes a basic data for analysis when an error occurs.

When the temporary file generation is completed, the English words are read one by one from the temporary file to search for the part with the same comment in the input file, and the Unicode corresponding to the English word is extracted from the temporary file to correspond to the English words in the input file. Insert unique code values. This process is run for every English word in the temporary file to produce an output file.

In addition, when the generation of the output file is completed, analysis contents such as the total number of words that have been converted to Unicode, the number of successful words, and the list of unsuccessful words may be provided in a message or another file form. This allows the user to check the results and immediately know whether an error has occurred.

In other words, the user can list the words to be converted once instead of repetitive manual operation. The user can automatically convert an input file including the corresponding words to obtain a result file in which the unique code values are converted to Unicode. In addition, analysis data such as temporary files and result messages can be obtained simultaneously.

As described above, the Unicode conversion method of the mobile terminal source file according to the present invention designates an input file as well as a method for converting a unique code word and a sentence to Unicode without an English comment to generate the mobile terminal source file, and converts from the file. By inputting unique code words and English words, the user can choose how to generate Unicode output file by user's choice. Data can also be obtained simultaneously.
