Publication number: 20110144975Abstract: Disclosed is a typewriter system and a text input method capable of accurately recognizing words by correcting words input using a mediated interface device based on a dictionary. A plurality of texts are combined by referencing a text recognition order set in which recognition results of texts are arranged according to a recognition order from texts input through the mediated interface device and the combined text is filtered using part index maps formed of part words that are an accumulated set of texts forming complete words. The part words passing through the part index maps is again filtered using a dictionary including context information formed of a set of words in a specific category, thereby making it possible to accurately recognize the words. The part words that cannot form words in a dictionary are removed in advance using the part index maps, thereby improving the recognition efficiency.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2010Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Dae Ha LEE, Jae Hong KIM, Min Su JANG, Chan Kyu PARK, Hyeon Sung CHO, Sang Seung KANG, Cheon Shu PARK, Joo Chan SOHN, Jae Yeon LEE, Yun Koo CHUNG

Publication number: 20040122831Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating documents used in an Internet e-business environment. In the present invention, using document components that may be jointly used between e-business systems and that are stored in a document component library, a document generation rule formulating tool based on a graphic user interface is employed to generate business documents. Document components are assembled based on these rules, after which context rules are applied to revise the assembled components to match desired conditions to thereby generate grammar neutral documents. Finally, conversion is performed into grammar for a specific business system to generate business documents. As a result, the differences between business systems are overcome, and the re-usability of business documents is maximized to enable e-business to be performed efficiently.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2003Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventors: Young-Gook Ha, Sang-Seung Kang, Cheon-Shu Park, Woo-Yong Han, Joo-Chan Sohn, Duk-Joo Son
