Moreover, the preset similarity evaluation scores corresponding to a.sub.8, a.sub.12, a.sub.13, d.sub.2, e.sub.1 and g.sub.1 are respectively set to be 90%, 50%, 60%, 40%, 60%, 40% and 100%, the value of .sub.1 is 90%, the value of .sub.2 is 80%, the value of .sub.1 is 90%, and the value of .sub.2 is 80%, wherein, the weight values of the preset trademark shape similarity, the preset trademark sound similarity, the preset trademark meaning similarity and the preset scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching are 40%, 15%, 30% and 15% respectively. In this embodiment, the trademark scorecards are divided according to shape, sound and meaning, and the feature types comprise three feature types: a shape feature type, a sound feature type and a meaning feature type. Taking the highest scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching classification as the scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching, the Electric appliances are generic names of commodities and services and belong to the trademark exceptional adjustment parameter. The calculation process and results of the comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity are as follows:

1. The input trademark and the resultant trademark

[0433] Firstly, a trademark shape similarity, a trademark sound similarity, a trademark meaning similarity and a scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching between the input trademark GREE Electric Appliances and the resultant trademark:

[0434] 1) A calculation result of the trademark shape similarity is:

W.sub.unit=U.sub.a/(U.sub.0.sub.1)+[U.sub.b/(U.sub.0.sub.1)].sub.1[U.sub.c/(U.sub.0.sub.1)].sub.2=2/(20)+0/(20)90%0/(20)80%=100%.

[0435] 2) A calculation result of the trademark sound similarity is:

[0436] The sounds of the trademark are ge, li, dian, qi, and the sounds of the resultant trademark are ge, li.

S.sub.sound=V.sub.a/(V.sub.0.sub.2)+[V.sub.b/(V.sub.0.sub.2)].sub.1[V.sub.c/(V.sub.0.sub.2)].sub.2=2/(20)+0/(20)90%0/(20)80%=100%.

[0437] 3) A calculation result of the trademark meaning similarity is:

[0438] The (Electric Appliances) belong to exceptional adjustment characters. The input trademark after removing the exceptional adjustment characters is . The of the input trademark after removing the exceptional adjustment characters is matched with the compared resultant trademark , and belongs to a scorecard of the input trademark after removing the exceptional adjustment characters matched with the resultant trademark on the basis of the trademark scorecard standard g.sub.1. M.sub.0 and M.sub.1 are both 1. In the embodiment, M.sub.2 and M.sub.3 are both 0, is not recorded in a Chinese dictionary, and belongs to a meaningless combination; therefore, M.sub.4 is 1. The number of characters of the input trademark is different from that of the resultant trademark, confirming an adjustment parameter feature of , and is 10%, then:

S.sub.meaning=[(M.sub.1+M.sub.2.sub.1+M.sub.3.sub.2+M.sub.4.sub.3)/M.sub.0]=[(1+0+0+10)/1]10%=90%.

[0439] 4) scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching: the calculation process of the highest scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching classification in this embodiment is as follows:

[0440] The trademark scorecard standard with highest score T.sub.i in the shape feature type of the retrieval keywork is the trademark scorecard standard a.sub.8, with a score of 90%, the trademark scorecard standard with highest score T.sub.2 in the sound feature type of the retrieval keywork is the trademark scorecard standard e.sub.1, with a score of 40%, and the trademark scorecard standard with highest score T.sub.3 in the meaning feature type of the retrieval keywork is the trademark scorecard standard g.sub.1, with a score of 100%, and the number of matched feature types r is 3.

So, S.sub.keywork=(T.sub.1+T.sub.2+T.sub.3+ . . . T.sub.r)r=(90%+40%+100%)3=76.67%.

[0441] Then, comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity are calculated according to the trademark shape similarity, the trademark sound similarity, the trademark meaning similarity and the scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching between the input trademark GREE Electric Appliances and the resultant trademark:

TM.sub.near=W.sub.unitQ.sub.1+S.sub.soundQ.sub.2+S.sub.meaningQ.sub.3+S.sub.keyworkQ.sub.4=100%40%+100%15%+90%30%+76.67%15%=40%+15%+27%+11.5%=93.5%.

2. The input trademark and the resultant trademark

[0442] Firstly, a trademark shape similarity, a trademark sound similarity, a trademark meaning similarity and a scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching between the input trademark and the resultant trademark:

[0443] 1) A calculation result of the trademark shape similarity is:

W.sub.unit=U.sub.a/(U.sub.0.sub.1)+[U.sub.b/(U.sub.0.sub.1)].sub.1[U.sub.c/(U.sub.0.sub.1)].sub.2=0/(20)+2/(20)90%0/(20)80%=90%.

[0444] 2) A calculation result of the trademark sound similarity is:

[0445] The sounds of the trademark are ge, li, dian, qi, and the sounds of the resultant trademark are ge, li.

S.sub.sound=V.sub.a/(V.sub.0.sub.2)+[V.sub.b/(V.sub.0.sub.2)].sub.1[V.sub.c/(V.sub.0.sub.2)].sub.2=0/(20)+[2/(20)]90%[0/(20)]80%=90%.

[0446] 3) A calculation result of the trademark meaning similarity is:

[0447] The (Electric Appliances) belong to exceptional adjustment characters. The input trademark after removing the exceptional adjustment characters is . The of the input trademark after removing the exceptional adjustment characters is matched with the compared resultant trademark , and belongs to a scorecard of the input trademark after removing the exceptional adjustment characters matched with the resultant trademark on the basis of the scorecard standard g.sub.2. M.sub.0 and M.sub.2 are both 1. The number of scorecards of M.sub.1 and M.sub.3 are both 0, is not recorded in a Chinese dictionary, and belongs to a meaningless combination; therefore, M.sub.4 is 1. The number of characters of the input trademark is different from that of the resultant trademark, confirming an adjustment parameter feature of , and is 10%, then:

S.sub.meaning=[(M.sub.1+M.sub.2.sub.1+M.sub.3.sub.2+M.sub.4.sub.3)/M.sub.0]=[(0+11+0+10)/1]10%=90%.

[0448] 4) scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching: the calculation process of the highest scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching classification in this embodiment is as follows:

[0449] The trademark scorecard standard with highest score T.sub.1 in the shape feature type of the retrieval keywork is the trademark scorecard standard a.sub.8, with a score of 90%, the trademark scorecard standard with highest score T.sub.2 in the sound feature type of the retrieval keywork is the trademark scorecard standard e.sub.1, with a score of 40%, and the trademark scorecard standard with highest score T.sub.3 in the meaning feature type of the retrieval keywork is the trademark scorecard standard g.sub.1, with a score of 100%, and the number of matched feature types r is 3.

So, S.sub.keywork=(T.sub.1+T.sub.2+T.sub.3+ . . . T.sub.r)r=(90%+40%+100%)3=76.67%.

[0450] Then, comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity are calculated according to the trademark shape similarity, the trademark sound similarity, the trademark meaning similarity and the scoring rate of retrieval keywork matching between the input trademark GREE Electric Appliances and the resultant trademark:

TM.sub.near=W.sub.unitQ.sub.1+S.sub.soundQ.sub.2+S.sub.meaningQ.sub.3+S.sub.keyworkQ.sub.4=100%40%+100%15%+100%30%+76.67%15%=40%+15%+30%+11.5%=96.5%.

[0451] Finally, the resultant trademarks are sorted using the magnitudes of the comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity, so that a resultant trademark retrieval list that further meets the trademark sameness or similarity in the sense of the Trademark Law can be clearly displayed.

[0452] FIG. 5 illustrates a screenshot of report interfaces of the first 24 resultant trademarks sorted by using comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity. In this embodiment, a graph shown in FIG. 2n is used as an input trademark, a range of commodity is Class 42 of Nice Classification, and a country of registration is China. The screenshot of report interfaces of the first 24 resultant trademarks are acquired by calculation using the comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity according to the forgoing method.

[0453] The method for evaluating and sorting similarities of trademark query results according to the present invention can effectively overcome the defects and drawbacks of the one-sided sorting results or missed detection caused by the traditional single feature sorting method for trademark query results, and can comprehensively reflect the comprehensive features of the trademarks combined in shape, sound and meaning, and improve the accuracy ratio and the recall ratio of the trademark sameness or similarity determination. Using the comprehensive quantified values of trademark similarity effectively quantizes abstract visual results of the trademark images, and greatly improves the quantitative evaluation level of the trademark similarity. The present invention improves the standardization level of the trademark sameness or similarity determination, and narrows the difference between the similarity sorting results of the trademark query results and the sorting results of the trademark sameness or similarity in the sense of the Trademark Law expected by the examiners, preferably evaluates whether the input trademarks and the sample trademarks constitute the trademark sameness or similarity, and accelerates the progress of trademark examination. Moreover, the present invention only needs to input the trademarks to be retrieved into the system once to acquire the optimal comprehensive sorting result, which overcomes the need for the existing trademark retrieval system to continuously perform human-computer interaction to acquire different sorting display results, or avoids too subjective retrieval results caused by artificial screening.
