[0083] FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the multifunction device 1 for illustrating the character string processing method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 omits description of unnecessary structural components.

[0084] Referring now to FIG. 10, the client 200 is connected to the multi-function device 1 via a network 210 such as the Internet or a LAN. The client 200 and the multi-function device 1 exchange data in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. For example, the client 200 and the multi-function device 1 use a communication protocol standard called SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) as a data access protocol.

[0085] In step S1 of FIG. 10 , the client 200 creates a SOAP message written in XML format, as shown in FIG. 11 . The client 200 stores (embeds) the SOAP message in an HTTP message, and sends the HTTP to the multi-function device 1 . Fig. 11 is a block diagram showing the structure of a SOAP messag...

[0110] A description is given below of a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0111] In the case of replacing non-convertible characters with replacement codes as in the first embodiment, there is a problem that all characters replaced with replacement codes can be regarded as the same as when sorting converted character strings, for example. Also, if characters are considered to be the same only when the encoding method is the same, there is a problem that the same character may be considered as different characters.

[0112] Therefore, the multifunction device 1 according to the second embodiment changes the encoding method of the first character string to be sorted to the same encoding method as the second character string to be used for sorting the first character string , and treating the substitution code contained in the converted first string as a wildcard solves the above-mentioned problem.

[0146] A description is given below of a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0147] In the first embodiment described above, the priority order of encoding methods is fixed. However, the priority order of encoding methods may vary depending on various conditions. Therefore, in the third embodiment, a description is given of a case where the order of priority of encoding methods changes depending on various conditions.

[0148] FIG. 22 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a multifunction device 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention to illustrate. FIG. 23 is a sequence diagram for illustrating a character string processing method according to the third embodiment. 22 and 23 omit the description of unnecessary structural components. In addition, the structure in FIG. 22 is identical to the structure in FIG. 10 except for some components, and description thereof is appropriately omitted.

[0149] In step S51 of FIG. 23, the browser 201 ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a character string processing device for converting a character string encoded by a first encoding method into a second encoding method selected from a plurality of encoding methods. The character string processing device includes an encoding method determining part for selecting an encoding method, and when converting the character string into the selected encoding method, obtains at least one of quantity information and positional information with respect to each selected encoding method, And the second encoding method is determined according to at least one of the quantity information and the position information.

Description

[0001] This case is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an application date of January 24, 2004, an application number of 200410005287.3, and an invention title of "string processing device, string processing method and imaging device". technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to a character string processing device, a character string processing method, and an imaging device, and more particularly, to converting a character string encoded by one encoding method (character code set) into a character string encoded by another encoding method A character string processing device, a character string processing method and an imaging device. Background technique [0003] The encoding method converts characters and symbols (hereinafter simply referred to as characters) into respective character codes assigned to them so that the characters can be processed on a computer. Generally, different encoding methods are used according t...
