Full word coding for information processing

Claim 2

An information processing system characterized in that it comprises : means for inputting alphanumeric words into the system; encoding means for matching each of said inputted alphanumeric words with a first unique unitary representation which is independent of the alphanumeric content and order of the word; and control logic means for directing such first unique unitary representation in place of its corresponding alphanumeric word to a word processing apparatus.

Claim 3

An information processing system according to claim 1 characterized in that it further comprises : means operatively connected to said encoding means for storing said first unique unitary representations; means for retrieving said first unique unitary representations from said storing means; means operatively connected to said retrieving means for decoding each of said first unique unitary representations into its corresponding alphanumeric word; and means for outputting every aforesaid corresponding alphanumeric word in the same original configuration that such word was input into the system by said inputting means.

Claim 4

An information processing system according to claims 1 or 2 characterized in that it comprises : means tor transmitting said first unique unitary representations to a remote location; means intermediate the output of said encoding means and the input of said transmitting means for directing said first unique unitary representations to said transmitting means; means for decoding each of said first unique unitary representation at the remote location into its corresponding alphanumeric word; and means for outputting such corresponding alphanumeric word at said remote location in the same original configuration in which it was input into the system.

Claim 5

An information processing system according any one of Claims 1 to 3 characterized in that said encoding means further comprises: first means for storing a predetermined vocabulary set containing a first list of alphanumeric words along with a second list of unique unitary representations corresponding to each alphanumeric word; second means for comparing the alphanumeric words in said first list against each alphanumeric word input to the system; third means governed by said second means for outputting from said second list a unique unitary representation corresponding to an alphanumeric word subsequent to a match occurring in said second means between such representation and such word; and fourth means for assigning a flag bit to each outputted unique unitary representation to identify the start of a unique unitary representation.

Claim 6

An information processing system according to Claims 4, characterized in that in said encoding means further comprises: • said predetermined vocabulary set also contains a third list of alphanumeric characters along with a fourth list of unique unitary representations corresponding to the alphanumeric characters in said third list; in that said encoding means further comprises : fifth means for comparing the alphanumeric characters in said third list against each alphanumeric character within each alphanumeric word input to the system; sixth means governed by said fifth means for outputting from said fourth list a unique unitary representation corresponding to each alphanumeric character within each inputted alphanumeric word subsequent to no match occurring in said second means and a match occurring in said fifth means between such representation and such character; seventh means connected to said sixth means for serially aggregating said unique unitary representations from said sixth means, whereby each of said serial aggregations represent an inputted alphanumeric wordr and in that said fourth means for assigning a flag bit assigns also a flag bit to each of said serial aggregations outputted from said seventh means, whereby the start of each word representation is identified.

Claim 7

An information processing system according to any one of Claims 1 to 5 characterized in that the means for decoding each of said first unique unitary representations into its corresponding alphanumeric word further comprises: first means for detecting an incoming unique unitary representation; second means for storing a predetermined vocabulary set containing a first list of alphanumeric words along with a second list of unique unitary representations corresponding to each alphanumeric word; third means for comparing the unique unitary representations in said second list against each incoming unique unitary representation detected by said first means; and fourth means governed by said third means for outputting from said first list an alphanumeric word corresponding to a unique unitary representation subsequent to a match occurring in said third means between such representations and said such word.

Claim 8

An information processing system according to Claims 6 characterized in that in said means for decoding each of said first unique unitary representations into its corresponding alphanumeric word said predetermined vocabulary set also contains a third list of alphanumeric characters along with a fourth list of unique unitary representations corresponding to each alphanumeric character, and in that said means for decoding further comprises : fifth means to count the number of bits in each incoming unique unitary representation detected by said first means; sixth means governed by said fifth means to deserialize the number of counted bits in each incoming unique unitary representation into a stream of packets containing a predetermined number of bits whenever the number of bits counted by said fifth means is not equal to said predetermined number of bits; seventh means for comparing the unique unitary representation in said fourth list against each packet of bits generated by said sixth means; eighth means governed by said seventh means for outputting from said third list an alphanumeric character corresponding to a unique unitary representation subsequent to a match occurring in said seventh means between such character and such representation.

Claim 9

An information processing system according to Claims 6 or 7 characterized in that the first means for detecting an incoming unique unitary representation comprises a flag bit detector.

Claim 10

An information processing system according to any one of Claims 4 to 8 characterized in that the means for storing a predetermined vocabulary set comprises a word table.

Claim 11

An information processing system according to any one of Claims 4 to 9 characterized in that said comparing means comprises a tree search logic.
