Hall element and method of manufacturing hall element

A character code conversion device () utilizes not a standard character code table but a conversion character code table that is the converted standard character code, and transmits a conversion character code string indicating a sentence subjected to transmission to a sentence recognition device () via a network (N). Hence, even if a third party obtains the conversion character code string, the standard character code table is utilized, and thus the character string specified from the conversion character code string is completely different from the sentence subjected to transmission. Accordingly, proper recognition of the sentence subjected to transmission is difficult. Consequently, the security of the sentence subjected to transmission is enhanced.

Sentence recognition device, sentence recognition method, and recording medium

A server device for safely managing information is configured to store prescribed character codes and converted character codes in correlation with each other, said server device being connected, via a network (N), to a terminal device for receiving a converted character code string corresponding to a character string indicating personal information stored in a storage unit device. Responsive to the reception of a prescribed character code string corresponding to a character string indicating an item included in the personal information by the terminal device, the server device converts each of prescribed character codes included in the prescribed character code string to a corresponding converted character code, thereby generating a converted character code string corresponding to the character string indicating the item. The service device then commands the storage unit device to transmit the converted character code string corresponding to the character string indicating the personal information to the terminal device.
