Patent number: 6175834Abstract: A Consistency Checker provides an improved method of analyzing a Japanese text document to identify inconsistently spelled words. The Consistency Checker utilizes a Reading Pair Database (RPD) and a Compressed Lexicon Database (CLD) to determine the reading units within a word, to calculate a Reading Pair Identification Number (RID) for each reading unit, to calculate a Sense Identification Number (SID) for each word, and to calculate a Spelling Variant Identification Number (SVID) for each word. Spelling variants are generated by combining variations of individual RIDs in the RID array. A Registry is updated to maintain statistics on all of the words within the document. An error field within the Registry indicates that the document contains more than one spelling variant of a particular word. The client program can access the Registry to alert a user to inconsistencies discovered in the document.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1998Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Patrick Pei Cai, Patrick H.
