Multilingual Consonant Pattern Search for Mobile Data Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data search methods on mobile devices, such as prefix and substring searches, are inefficient for large datasets, requiring excessive character input and screen scrolling, leading to slow search speeds and potential safety issues when used on the move.
Innovation Solution
An integrated multilingual consonant pattern search method that allows for rapid data retrieval by inputting non-consecutive consonant patterns, utilizing a database of pre-processed consonant strings across multiple languages, and dynamically creating index tables for efficient matching and display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional prefix or substring search methods are used on mobile devices, then the search can be implemented with basic functions, but the search speed becomes slow when dealing with large datasets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing the database to extract consonant patterns from all strings before the actual search operation. Index tables are created in advance storing these consonant patterns, so when a user performs a search, the system can quickly match against pre-computed patterns rather than processing entire strings during the search operation itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments strings by extracting only consonant characters and organizing them into separate index tables. Instead of searching through complete strings, the system divides the search space into consonant pattern components, allowing for faster comparison and matching operations on mobile devices with limited processing power.
2Device complexity
If conventional search methods are used, then the implementation is simple, but excessive character input and screen scrolling are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential consonant patterns from strings for search purposes. By taking out and storing only the consonant components in index tables, the system reduces the amount of data that needs to be processed during search, thereby reducing the number of characters users need to input and the amount of scrolling required to find results.
3Ease of manufacture
If substring search method is used without vast indexing, then implementation is easy using basic OS functions, but high-speed search cannot be performed on large datasets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary indexing by pre-extracting consonant patterns and organizing them into index tables before the search operation. This advance preparation eliminates the need for time-consuming full-string comparisons during actual search, significantly reducing search time while maintaining implementation simplicity through systematic pre-processing.

AI summary
Provided are an integrated multilingual consonant pattern search method and apparatus for extracting original strings, in correspondence with a number that is small compared to that of a conventional technology, as a search result and displaying the search result, by inputting a consonant pattern which is formed of a plurality of consonants, with respect to an original string list that is pre-stored in a database in a language written with a phonogram in which an initial consonant and a final consonant are distinguished from each other. Provided are also a method and apparatus for generating a character input unit for inputting consonant characters to be searched fast with a low typing error rate, by using the integrated multilingual consonant pattern search method.
