  • Phonetic keys for the Japanese language
    Patent number: 8315851
    Abstract: Various embodiments of phonetic keys for the Japanese language are described herein. A Kana rule set is applied to Kana characters provided by a user. The Kana characters are defined in an alphabetic language based on the sound of the Kana characters. A full phonetic key is then generated based on the defined Kana characters. A replaced-vowel phonetic key is generated by replacing a vowel in the full phonetic key and a no-vowel phonetic key is generated by removing the vowel in the full phonetic key. Kana records in a database are then processed to determine a relevant Kana record that has a phonetic key identical to at least one of the full phonetic key, the replaced-vowel phonetic key, and the no-vowel phonetic key. The relevant Kana records are then presented to the user.
