Filed:

Nov 7, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/703813

Inventors:

Shawn C. Steele - Bellevue WA, US
Julie D. Bennett - Medina WA, US
John I. McConnell - Kirkland WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H03M007/00

US Classification:

341 50

Abstract:

A system and method for converting a source data sequence to a target encoding is disclosed. A fallback technique, specifiable by a user program component, is applied to data in the source data sequence that cannot be mapped to the target encoding. A particular embodiment involves methods for encoding a Unicode string as a sequence of bytes in a target encoding, and decoded the encoded bytes back to Unicode.

US Classification:

707 7, 715536, 704 7, 704 8, 704 10, 382185, 382229

Abstract:

A method and system for mapping a number of characters in a string, wherein the string comprises a combination of characters representing indexed expressions and a combination of characters representing non-indexed expressions. One embodiment produces a weight array that can be utilized to compare a first and second string having indexed and non-indexed expressions. In one embodiment, a method generates a set of special weights for characters that represent indexed and non-indexed expressions. The method then associates a weight value of an indexed expression with the specific group of characters representing a specific non-indexed expression, and generates a weight array by retrieving a plurality of special weights associated with the specific group of characters representing the specific non-indexed expression and the associated weight value of the indexed expression.
