Method for the dual coding of information on physical media and in a comptuerized format (DOTEM)
First Claim
1. Method of coding information described by means of sets of independent structures of any size, composed of elements carrying information allowing the identification and the descriptive and functional control of their own structure, and defining links with other structures, characterised in that the said structures are composed of characters representing conjointly the information on a physical medium by dots and in computing format by bits. The said structures of the physical characters comprise on the one hand detection/marking dots that are peculiar to them and on the other hand dots which each correspond to 1 bit in computing format.

Abstract
DOTEM is an information-coding method which is used to represent same on physical media with the aid of dots and in a computerised format, in memory and on networks with bits. Said method is based on the broad concept of characters grouped into alphabets. The characters comprise dots on documents, for example, and bits in machine format. The physical characters have specific dots that are not represented in machine format in order to enable same to be located on media, such as the foot of a character and the head of a character. Each character can represent at least the 256 values of an octet. The character concept is extended such that it can be identified by the value thereof and, such that it can be identified by the value thereof and, taken together, can represent one or more variables having any dimension but determined in the structure of the character. The complex data and the context thereof can be described by a series of characters in the form of words or even sentences with a direct language correspondence. As a result, the representation is simpler and more concise. The characters are constructed over several columns for documents and over several octets for machine format. Said characters can code values far greater than the octet, such that tags or field delimiters can be designated directly without the need for prior formatting. Specific alphabets can be developed for each application domain, such as for sound recordings, chemical compounds and text and file security. Non-standard characters have been developed for discrete applications, such as to combat the fraudulent erasure of data.
