Method and apparatus for generating ideographic representations of letter based names
First Claim
1. A method of generating an ideographic representation of a name given in a letter based system, comprising:
- determining a language of origin for the name;
segmenting said name into a segmentation sequence in response to the determined language of origin;
generating a candidate representation for said segmentation sequence based on ideographic representations of said segments; and
using a corpus to validate said candidate representation.

Abstract
A method of generating an ideographic representation of a name given in a letter based system begins with a determination of the language of original. After determining the language of origin for the name, the name is segmented into a segmentation sequence in response to the determined language of origin. A candidate representation is generated for the segmentation sequence based on ideographic representations of the segments. A corpus is used to validate the candidate representation. The corpus can be either a monolingual corpus or a multilingual corpus. The method can also include adding an additional validation step using either a monolingual corpus or a multilingual corpus, which ever was not used in the first validation step. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.
