DESCRIPTION

The Invention refer to a method and to an electronic system use to digital encoding/decoding of data in equipments for technologies for computation, communications and automation. This method and system encode/decode data in a new encoding mode named by us "generalized encoding 1number=1string_with_numbers" or named by alias "number-string encoding", for simplification. This new way of encoding have the scope to increase the performances of this equipments by high exploitation of potential of concept about digital encoding of data in the sense describe below.

Is known that in actual equipments for technologies for computation, communications and automation is used the digital encoding of data in mode 1 number=1 element, where the element can be a digital instruction or another element from instructions set of microprocessor or can be a character from a linguistic text, character which can be use from human operator because the text with this character can have a sense at cognitive level. The character is, as is known, a graphic sign which is encoding by a binary number in sense that for each distinct character from a text is assigned a binary number, so this method of encoding are made by assignation 1number=1 character. Similar, at machine code we have a set with instructions, not so numerous (tens level), which is a list of correspondents by assignation between semantics units (linguistic expressions with sense for humans) and binary numbers. The assignation is made in mode 1binary_number=1semantic_unit (the name of a digital instruction or the graphic expression of her) from a list with no so much elements. This encoding method ignore important resources of potential of concept from digital encoding of data and, as effect, put important limits to technical and economical performances of equipments for technologies for computation, communications and automation, from old and actual generations. The technical problem which this invention solve is one about optimization of running of equipments for technologies for computation, communications and automation followed by increase of her performances by high exploitation of potential of concept for digital encoding of data. For this scope are used both encoding methods: actual encoding method 1number=1 element, as part of new encoding method, and the new encoding method introduced by this invention and named "general encoding 1 number=1string_with_numbers", where 1 number can be any number from an accepted interval by design requested (except numbers from ASCII code, by example). 1string_with_numbers can be any string with binary numbers which encode digital the characters of a string (text by example) from a list with characters strings (words, expressions, propositions, phrases, persons names or institutions names, paragraphs, ....) theoretical unlimited (in fact the limits are just from limits of operational electronics memory). This aspect is the first element of generalization of application of this invention. The second one is about that this method of data encoding is use at any level of a computation system: at machine code level, at BIOS level, at OS level or at level of applications which running over OS.

The sense of "generalization" term use above is necessary and basic for a right delimitation between the news introduced by this invention and other known and used elements with which can be partial confused. This term is utile especial in case of software which run as part of OS or over OS instance. So is known routines like "Autocorrect" and "Autocomplete" which realize a function of replacement like in this invention but in other sense, whit different scope, at a different level of computational system and whit minimal benefits versus case of this invention. The benefits offer from invention are multiple and global because can be applied to almost all equipments for technologies for computation, communications and automation which include units for digital data processing and can be implement at any running level of computational system: machine code, BIOS, OS or software applications. The method of this invention can be realized or only by SW (new applications) implementation or by HW (new design for devices) and SW implementation.

The solution which solve the mentioned problem use an electronic system special designed for realization of method which have the proposed scope - method for "generalized encoding 1number=1string_with_numbers". Running this method are replaced strings with characters (words, expressions, propositions, phrases, persons names or institutions names, paragraphs, ....) with a number which is assigned to string. Both the string and the assigned number reside in a table whit correspondents. This replacement can be realize in different implementations: at SW implementation: machine code level, BIOS level, OS level, SW level which run over OS or at HW implementation, in new design of devices. The replacement mentioned above have scope and effects to optimize running of equipments by significant increasing of performances of this equipments, optimization which refer to: energy consumption, processing and operating speed, occupancy of operational memory, occupancy of storage memory, volume of data traffic, digital security, economy of equipments utilization. This method can be realize, in a specific implementation, in an electronic system from actual computational systems, equipments for automation and equipments for communications, where is possible. In this case performances increasing, the proposed scope, is much smaller. Or can be realize using new dedicated electronic systems inside of mentioned equipments. A conclusion is that the invention can be implemented in a lot of ways each of this meaning different efforts and costs for industrialization and offering different results.

• read and decode the encoded data and display this for a human user in a normal form - intelligible for this;

• interact with informatics applications which running over OS and with the components of this for utilize the new encoding mode where are needed.

The method consist in execution, related above operations, of followed "generalized encoding 1number=1string_with_numbers" algorithm:

a. are reading the data which are in classic ASCI code:

a. a. which are store in RAM where was preloaded or

a.b. which come from the network or

a.c. which are introduced from keyboard,

b. are execute a specific routine loaded in normal or dedicated Registry of a microprocessor from a program preloaded in RAM or reside in a dedicated ROM, routine which search and compare data, mentioned at "a." above, in a table with correspondents preloaded in an adequate operational memory (dedicated data internal/external cache or RAM), depend of implementation type which was choose,

c. at level of unit of processing, each of string with numbers (binary) which encode, in classic (ASCI) mode, the string with characters (texts) which are stored, are received or just are introduced from keyboard ("l .b.a.c." above) and which are found at comparison step (in time of "l .b.b." above act) in a field , "2" labeled, of table with correspondents, are replaced with the correspondent number of mentioned string, number which reside on the same row but in another field, "1" labeled, of the table,

d. are saved in RAM only the result of replacement operation which mean that are saved only a number in binary which was found in field "1" and which is the correspondent of string with numbers from field "2" which digital (binary) encode an entire linguistic text, after this, the result are transferred to storage unit or to other components of system: network adapter, display or printing unit etc. or to other SW application which running inside or over OS,

e. the method are restart (from a. to d. above) for the next string.

In this way a string with characters (linguistic text) will be represented (encode) by only a number which replace the string with many numbers, each from this corresponding to a character of the linguistic text. Because just this single number are transferred outside of microprocessor are realize technical effects which participate to realize the scope of the method: increasing of performances in running of informatics equipment, locally and globally and increasing results and benefits obtained using this invention.

A mention can be utile. In fact by replace a string with binary numbers with a binary number mean that was replaced a big binary number (including encoding for "space" characters) whit a small binary number which contain often significant less digits versus the big binary number.
