Description

518479 V. Description of the Invention (1) [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a system and method for pinyin conversion capable of processing multi-syllabic characters, particularly to a computer-executable operating system platform for performing simplified Chinese characters, Input and conversion of Chinese pinyin and Zhuyin pinyin between traditional Chinese characters. [Background of the Invention] As businesses interact with each other more and more frequently, the exchange of documents and information between them has also become an important and indispensable task in daily life, so fast on the Internet Today, as a result of the development, most of the methods of information exchange are achieved through the mode of transmitting electronic documents via the Internet, and this method seems to be the most convenient, fast and most economical. However, due to the many different encoding methods used on the computer for the current languages used around the world, the process of information exchange often causes a potential confounding factor in the interpretation and cognition of the content receiving parties, such as: There is a fundamental difference in encoding methods between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters. Therefore, software requirements for loading the so-called traditional and simplified Chinese character interchange function on the operating system platform used are accompanied by increasingly frequent interactions between enterprises. It became more and more eager. Since the traditional and simplified Chinese characters have different pinyin coding methods, the traditional Chinese characters use the "Zhuyin Pinyin" coding method, while the simplified characters use the "Chinese Pinyin" coding method. As a result, in the process of swapping traditional and simplified Chinese characters, we usually have to convert the pronunciation of the original text first, in order to retrieve it.

Page 4 518479 V. Description of the invention (2) The correct pronunciation of the word to be converted, and finally the correct traditional or simplified word is produced. As far as the conventional technology is concerned, several similar softwares for traditional Chinese-Simplified Chinese character interchange function deal with the part of traditional Chinese-to-Simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese-to-Chinese traditional Chinese character transliteration, almost by internally creating two sets of storage. There is a corresponding database of each pronunciation symbol and its corresponding simplified and traditional characters, and then in the processing process, the pronunciation symbols of the original text are compared with the converted pronunciation data recorded in the corresponding database one by one to find the required conversion Correct pronunciation symbol. This method will inevitably produce the following problems: First, in order to improve the success rate of comparison results, it must spend a lot of manpower and time to engage in the maintenance of the database, causing unnecessary waste of manpower, money and time costs; In addition, the use of human resources to maintain the database is not only easy to cause errors in the contents of the database due to the negligence of personnel, but also extremely difficult to ensure the consistency of the contents of the two databases; in addition, the increasing content of the huge database with the increase of daily will also cause The heavy burden on the hardware space, when there is a large amount of document information that needs to be identified and converted, it will directly cause the implementation efficiency to be inconsistent. And from another known technology, it is found that these softwares with the function of interchange of traditional and simplified Chinese characters are not able to provide a kind of conversion for polyphonic characters when processing traditional Chinese or simplified Chinese traditional characters An effective solution, that is, in the existing methods, only limited pronunciation content can be provided according to the existing data stored in the database. Often, it is one pronunciation of the polysyllabic character, but it cannot handle other pronunciations of the polysyllabic character. The conversion process may affect the comparison due to the incompleteness of the database content

Page 5 518479 V. The result of the description of the invention (3), which leads to semantic errors in the interpretation and cognition of information, and even seriously affects the problem of work progress. Therefore, when the software requirements for the interchange function of traditional and simplified Chinese characters are gradually expanding, we are in need of a system and method that can simultaneously provide input and conversion of simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters and can provide multi-sound word processing to solve the aforementioned technologies. On the problem. [Summary and Purpose of the Invention] In view of this, in order to solve the problems caused by the conventional technology described above, the present invention proposes a system and method for pinyin conversion that can handle multi-syllabic characters: First, the "Chinese Pinyin / Zhuyin Pinyin π" provided by the present invention Correspondence conversion table, so that we can use only a set of corresponding Chinese character database in the system to achieve the input and conversion of simplified Chinese characters, traditional Chinese characters in an operating system platform, and then achieve Chinese pinyin / Zhuyin Pinyin conversion function. This method can not only save the space required by the hardware, but also reduce the cost of manual input of the database, reduce unnecessary errors, and increase the speed of execution. In addition, due to the It is mentioned that in the "Chinese Pinyin / Zhuyin Pinyin" correspondence conversion table, there is a special correspondence relationship that can handle multi-syllabic characters. This system and method can be used without the use of conversion algorithms and thesaurus. , That is, it can handle the conversion of Chinese Pinyin and Zhuyin Pinyin Phonetic pronunciation of many words, to solve the traditional past Simplified Chinese characters, Pinyin and phonetic Pinyin input process and the transition between traditional Chinese characters, it can not effectively carry out part of the problem for the processing of multi-tone words.

To generate the converted

Page 7 518479 V. Description of the invention (5) Polyphonic word processing requirements transmitted from group 103, correspondingly convert the polyphonic characters. (5) Output module 1 0 5 · • is used to accept the converted character group transmitted by the character conversion generating module 1 3 and the polyphonic character conversion module 1 0 4 and output the character group Into the output device. Please refer to "Figure 2", which is an overall flow chart of the system and method for pinyin conversion that can handle multi-syllabic characters. The main methods of this system are as follows: First, we must operate the system on the platform Loaded with a set of Chinese character database (step 2 0 1), the type of this set of Chinese character database can be π Chinese character / Chinese Pinyin π corresponding database or a set of π Chinese character / Zhuyin Pinyin π corresponding database. Next, the system will generate a module 102 from the character correspondence provided by the system according to the type of the Chinese character database loaded in the system operating platform to determine the character correspondence that needs to be established within the system. The type of the relationship conversion table (step 202), and the type of the one-character correspondence relationship conversion table can be: " Chinese Pinyin vs Zhuyin Pinyin "or π Zhuyin Pinyin vs. Han Pinyin's internal character correspondence, and then According to the internal character correspondence determined by the module 102, the corresponding correspondence conversion database is generated (step 203), that is, the “π Chinese Pinyin vs Zhuyin Pinyin” correspondence conversion database. Or it is "Zhuyin Pinyin to Chinese Pinyin π correspondence conversion database. When the user inputs a text string to be converted from the input device (step 2 0 4), the character conversion provided by this system generates module 1 0 3, it will first determine whether the character string entered by the user is a Chinese character string? (Step 2 0 5) and whether a polyphonic character is required.

Page 8 518479 V. Explanation of the invention (6) Principle? (Step 2 0 5), when the string is not a Chinese character string, the system will end the process and leave the operation of the system, but if it is a Chinese character string, the system will further determine the user input Whether the string (step 2 0 4) has polyphonic characters must be further processed (step 2 0 5). If so, the polyphonic character conversion module 1 0 4 provided by the system will allow users to make their own decisions based on actual needs. Select the corresponding pronunciation character of the multi-syllabic character (step 2 06). If there is no poly-syllabic character that needs additional processing, the system will continue the process of the system to input the character string entered by the user (step 2 0 4) According to the loaded Chinese character database (step 2 0 1), a complete corresponding character group (step 2 7) is generated, and then the correspondence conversion database created by the module 1 2 is generated according to the character correspondence relationship. The corresponding character group conversion action generates a converted corresponding character group (step 208), and finally outputs the converted corresponding character group through the output device of the system operation platform (step 209). Please refer to "Figure 3", which is the π Chinese Pinyin / Zhuyin Pinyin π correspondence conversion table for the system and method for processing multi-syllabic characters in the present invention, which illustrates the π Chinese Pinyin / Zhuyin pinyin π character pronunciation correspondence. [Achieved effect] The present invention uses a self-established "Chinese Pinyin / Zhuyin Pinyin" correspondence conversion table. It only needs to provide a set of π Chinese characters / Chinese Pinyin or π Chinese characters / Zhuyin Pinyin on a computer-executable operating system platform. Corresponding Chinese character database can realize multiple pinyin conversion functions such as π Chinese character / Chinese pinyin π, π Chinese character / Zhuyin pinyin, and π Zhuyin / pinyin. Not only saves hardware space, but also reduces the manpower and time required to maintain the contents of the database
