Electronic equipment for automatic writing of Chinese, Sino-Japanese and Japanese ideograms

摘要

The equipment makes it possible to do what has not been possible so far: to write in Chinese or Sino-Japanese (about 3,000 current ideograms and 40,000 total insteadofthe 26 letters of our alphabet) with a standard electronic typewriter, a printer of known writing device. It comprises: a keyboard for simultaneous keying of the sounds and tones that constitute the syllables corresponding to each ideogram of the Chinese or Sino-Japanese language so that at each stroke a precise ideogram is generated, at least a microprocessor, at least a video or display, at least a writer or printer for writing the ideograms corresponding to each syllable input in the keyboard and generated by the microprocessor.;The keyboard is made so that simultaneously with the sounds of the syllable, a signal is punched (keys C4) that indicates the tone of the syllable, enabling the microprocessor to make automatic identification and the relative printing or projection of the ideograms corresponding to that syllable and that tone.
