1. A method, comprising:
- generating a string of characters based on a set of rules;
parsing the string of characters into a first string of graphemes;
adding one or more characters to the first string of graphemes to represent missing characters in the string of characters to create a second string of graphemes;
grouping the second string of graphemes into a plurality of pseudo-graphemes, wherein two or more graphemes in the second string of graphemes that are phonetized together are grouped to a single pseudo-grapheme;
accessing a first data structure that maps each pseudo-grapheme in the plurality of pseudo-graphemes to one or more universal phonetic representations based on an international phonetic alphabet, wherein the first data structure comprises a plurality of first nodes with each first node of the plurality of first nodes having a respective weight assigned that corresponds to a pronunciation of a first grapheme;
determining one or more phonetic representations for each pseudo-grapheme in the plurality of pseudo-graphemes based on the first data structure;
accessing a second data structure that maps the one or more universal phonetic representations to one or more graphemes in a third string of graphemes, wherein the second data structure comprises a plurality of second nodes with each second node of the plurality of second nodes having a respective weight assigned that corresponds to a likely representation of a second grapheme;
determining at least one grapheme representation for one or more of the one or more phonetic representations based on the second data structure;
constructing a second phonetic representation of the string of characters based on the at least one grapheme representation that was determined;
providing the second phonetic representation to a domain name verifier to determine that the phonetic representation is available to be registered as a domain name; and
providing an offer to a user to register the second phonetic representation with a domain name system.

Abstract
Provided are methods, devices, and computer-readable media for generating a string of characters based on a set of rules; parsing the string of characters into string of graphemes; determining one or more phonetic representations for one or more graphemes in the string of graphemes based on a first data structure; determining at least one grapheme representation for one or more of the one or more phonetic representations based on a second data structure; and constructing the phonetic representation of the string of characters based on the grapheme representation that was determined.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-interpretable instructions which, when executed by at least one electronic processor, cause the at least one electronic processor to perform a method of converting a string of characters into a phonetic representation, the method comprising:
-
generating a string of characters based on a set of rules; parsing the string of characters into a first string of graphemes; adding one or more characters to the first string of graphemes to represent missing characters in the string of characters to create a second string of graphemes; grouping the second string of graphemes into a plurality of pseudo-graphemes, wherein two or more graphemes in the second string of graphemes that are phonetized together are grouped to a single pseudo-grapheme; accessing a first data structure that maps each pseudo-grapheme in the plurality of pseudo-graphemes to one or more universal phonetic representations based on an international phonetic alphabet, wherein the first data structure comprises a plurality of first nodes with each first node of the plurality of first nodes having a respective weight assigned that corresponds to a likely pronunciation of a first grapheme; determining one or more phonetic representations for each pseudo-grapheme in the plurality of pseudo-graphemes based on the first data structure; accessing a second data structure that maps the one or more universal phonetic representations to one or more graphemes in a third string of graphemes, wherein the second data structure comprises a plurality of second nodes with each second node of the plurality of second nodes having a respective weight assigned that corresponds to a likely representation of a second grapheme; determining at least one grapheme representation for one or more of the one or more phonetic representation based on the second data structure; constructing a second phonetic representation of the string of characters based on the at least one grapheme representation that was determined; providing the second phonetic representation to a domain name verifier to determine that the phonetic representation is available to be registered as a domain name; and providing an offer to a user to register the second phonetic representation with a domain name system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
