Shift JIS

Abstract: A simply-constructed data processing system for a karaoke machine can process data to display a plurality of languages. A data processing apparatus processes data composed of one-byte or two-byte character codes, each representing a character. A display can display characters represented by the character codes. A set of font memory can store the character font of each of the character codes for supplying font data. The font memory is divided into four regions, the first to the fourth, according to the combinations of the first two bits of a character code. Japanese characters can be assigned to the first region as the first character group of the first language based on a shift JIS standard, and Hankul characters can be assigned to the fourth region as the second character group of the second language. An identifying apparatus identifies one of the regions to which a character code corresponds, according to the first two bits of a character code.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new approach on a compression algorithm for encoding Thai words. The use of 13-bit binary codewords provides a new coding compatible with ISO/IEC 18004 in a similar fashion as Shift JIS. In addition, the new coding can be used as an extension of TIS620 in order to maintain interoperability with an existing Thai industrial standard. In our approach, the words are extracted by our words separation program to a basic unit of word components. Four domains of Thai words often found in a daily-life are statistically chosen here: news, product names, person names and addresses. The result shows that the use of 13 bit-codewords to represent these chosen words enables space saving of more than 20%

Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent a user from forgetting character code conversion by erroneous operation to prevent trouble like display disorder or the like by providing an operating system use character code list, a character code correspondence table, and a character code conversion part which converts a character code. CONSTITUTION:The file name of a file 11 where character data, which is inputted by the user and should be converted and transferred, is stored and the OS name of the transfer destination are read in. A use character code list 13 is referred to confirm that the use character code of the OS in the read transfer destination is the 8-bit JIS code. Except at the time of the end of character data in the file, one unit of character data of the shift JIS code in the file 11 is read out. A character code correspondence table 14 is referred to read character data of the 8-bit JIS code corresponding to read character data of the shift JIS code. Read character code of the 8-bit JIS code is temporarily stored in a file 16.
