Abstract

Single stroke input method and keyboard thereof are a kind of methods of utilizing the font stroke to finish the literal input merely, adopt the mode of regularly forming group of strokes in the invention, use five kinds of standard strokes, finish the input of all spoken and written languages, need not any supplementary technology, most of people can be grasped fast.The present invention combines word, speech, sentence together, and input greatly improves efficient simultaneously.Stroke input method is few because of the key position, and the repetition rate of coding is low, and operating speed is fast, and per minute can be imported about 250 words, is applicable in the various information disposal system.

Description

Single stroke input method and keyboard thereof

Improve the input speed of Chinese character, make it easy operating, grasp, it is the target that people make great efforts in computer realm, many for a long time people have carried out this exploring widely, there is the people that the basic structure of Chinese character is splitted into different shape very early, try hard to seek the rule between them, with up to now, develop into font is divided into radical, font, and it is encoded or the like in a large number, these make the input of Chinese character that certain progress has been arranged undoubtedly, but the input method of Chinese character and running program, all the time fundamentally do not break away from complicated constraint, have only the part technician through special training, can be on top of, if change this situation, must open up new road,, have more regular method input characters with more directly perceived.

The stroke input method that the present invention adopts accomplishes merely to utilize font stroke itself, finishes the input of literal, not by any supplementary technology means and data, finish input, make people, also can grasp the input method of Chinese character quickly with elementary following educational level.(generally in one day, just can grasp), simultaneously, it does not need special equipment, utilizes existing type to finish the input of Chinese character fully, embodies its economic worth, and this also is a big problem in current robot calculator field.

The present invention has analyzed the characteristics of all kinds of computer Chinese-character inputs, and the deficiency that exists, according to Chinese character is the feature that the basis constitutes literal with the stroke, the mode that proposes merely to extract stroke is finished the input of Chinese character, word, speech, sentence, molten be one, compatible, input greatly improves efficient simultaneously.There has been the method for Pinyin coding method or phonological and calligraphical syn thesize coding in past.These are subjected to dialect many, the limitation of rhotacism.Also has the whole big keyboard method of word, need manufacture specialized equipment, the cost height, difficulty is big, is unfavorable for popularizing, the pure character input scheme and the U.S. Wang An company triangle compiling method in present Hong Kong, and the Zhang Qijun of Yunnan Province of China university professor's 60 key keyboard special schemes etc., also all needing to manufacture special-purpose Chinese keyboard equipment, the target that we pursue is on the basis of existing type computer, with 26 key letters, just can finish the input of Chinese character, in this respect, day imperial scheme and the Five-stroke Method compiling method have all stepped a step, but their common weakness is that rule is complicated, grasp very difficultly, need to distinguish many kinds of radical fonts, also will divide a zoning position according to the type coding, set up the preface example, or the like, the surface memory has a long way to go with actual memory, needs more analysis and judgement process, it is a lot of to be difficult to resolve word, everything all requires the operator is carried out special training, could grasp application, how to make the input of the Chinese character simplification that becomes, most of people can be grasped, and the present invention has solved this difficult problem preferably.

The stroke input method that adopts in invention is the characteristics according to the Chinese character stroke, chooses the stroke of some on each word regularly, forms group of strokes and keys in computing machine, realizes the input of Chinese character.Though Chinese character all is to cast aside formation such as right-falling stroke anyhow with simple stroke point, none repetition of thousands of word, we extract stroke in the middle of these literal regularly, form group of strokes, though simple, intuitive can not repeat yet.Here determine 25 kinds of basic formats for group of strokes, make Protean Chinese character, between simple stroke, change.See Fig. 1.Basic skills just can be handled all complicated literal situations once grasp, makes the input of Chinese character become very simple.Let us is said from the input method of monosyllabic word earlier.The input of multi-character words will the order explanation.

The input method of monomer word: the method that example " dance " is got group of strokes is: according to sequential write, four-stroke is cast aside [Pie is Shu one by one] anyhow before getting earlier.Last two strokes of getting word again [Shu] are anyhow formed group of strokes and are [Pie is Shu one Shu one by one], this six stroke, and per two combine, and can become [∠ TT] basic format.Four tails two headed by this method of getting stroke is called for short.Be that stem is got four-stroke, afterbody is got two strokes.When importing this word, only needing correspondingly to key on keyboard [cast aside horizontal, anyhow, anyhow] gets final product.Complex form of Chinese characters method is identical.In input during a word, why will be with six strokes composition group of strokes, if use five strokes, four-stroke or less OK? certainly, getting how many strokes in principle can import computer key and go out literal.But what of input stroke are related to the height of the repetition rate of coding.Why the present invention determines with six strokes is because analyze the result who has compared a large amount of group of strokes recurrence probabilities as what of stroke, minimum with the group of strokes repetition rate of coding of six strokes composition, and input efficiency is the highest.

As shown in Figure 1, two kinds of strokes combine, and have only 25 kinds to select group of strokes.And Fig. 2, four kinds of strokes combine and just produce 602 kinds of group of strokes, goodbye Fig. 3, if when having six kinds of strokes to combine, its group of strokes just expands to kind more than 15,000, and this is concerning a word, and its range of choice has satisfied the not requirement of repeated code basically, thereby make the input recurrence probability of literal very low, reach practical value.

In sum, determine the group of strokes of a word, should use six strokes.Should when determining the words of two words compositions of input so, extract several strokes? here also need not get stroke more, still form group of strokes, import the phrase of two words with six strokes.When importing three words even more words and expressions exactly, be so, and their repetition rate of coding can not increase yet.The advantage place of Here it is single stroke input method.No matter what words you once import, they all are the group of strokes by separately, represent their specific statements, when identical group of strokes is arranged between them, during appearance, do not mean that repeated code occurs, although the number of words of input can be on the increase, but the range of choice of group of strokes also in expansion in large quantities, reaches 150,000 kinds more than nearly.See Fig. 4, when word to eight of input words was spoken, every group of word all had the range of choice of 15625 kinds of group of strokes, adds up to 140625 kinds of group of strokes.Each group of strokes of organizing between the words and phrases is independent of each other, and can be distinguished with numerical key between them.As can be seen in input during one group of word, its number of words is many more from here, and the stroke of carrying is few more, and the repetition rate of coding is low more.

The phrase of two words compositions of explanation now extracts the method for group of strokes when input.For example " love " at first extracts preceding two strokes [people] of previous word " love ", gets the preceding two stroke [Xia that second word " protects " again], get at last last two strokes that a back word " protects " [

], forming group of strokes is [Ren Xia

].The characteristics of phrase are that previous word is identical in the Chinese, and then a block is not a lot, as cherish, treasure, love and esteem, love or the like.When choosing group of strokes, focus on distinguishing a back word according to these characteristics.So adopt previous word to get two strokes here, then the rule that four-stroke got in word is called for short preceding four backs two.

The method that three words extract group of strokes is: each word is got its preceding two strokes and is got final product.For example " scanner " sweeps [Xia] retouch [Xia] instrument [

], group of strokes is [Xia Xia ], this method is called for short " two in pairs ".

By the word that four words are formed, the method for choosing group of strokes is to get preceding two strokes of first word earlier, get the last stroke of second word again, get triliteral last stroke again, get preceding two strokes of the 4th word at last, example " turning a crude essay into a literary gem " some [Shang] stone [one] one-tenth [one] gold [

], forming group of strokes is [Shang two ], be called for short " two only two ".

By the statement that five words are formed, the method for choosing group of strokes is to get preceding two strokes at first word earlier, afterwards the first stroke of getting each word of back in proper order.For example " programming controller ", journey [∠], preface [Dian], control [], system [Pie], device [Shu], group of strokes be [

Tou

], be called for short " two four lists that add ".

By the statement that six words are formed, the method for extracting group of strokes is the simplest, only needs each word to get first stroke in proper order and gets final product.For example " hold book fair ", hold [Tou] books [Shang] exhibition [Xia], group of strokes is [Tou Shang Xia]." culture and arts exchange " is that [y two

].Get the stroke method and be called for short " single six strokes ".

By the statement that seven words are formed, extract the method for group of strokes and get last stroke, totally seven strokes for each word.For example " adopt a new technology " and be employing [ ] one [two], new skill [Tou] art [], group of strokes be [

Two Tou one], be called for short " single seven strokes ".

By the statement that eight words are formed, the method for getting group of strokes is that last pen totally eight strokes got in each word, for example " select the communicating terminal product for use " promptly [ The people ], be called for short " single eight strokes ".

Eight above statements of word when getting group of strokes, only extract eight strokes, and method is identical with eight word statements.No matter exceed how many words, stroke need not be extracted without exception, can not repeat between the statement, with the number of words key different statements is distinguished in the operation to get final product.

According to the design feature of Chinese character, determine the code requirement of character stroke, so that operation.Ask for an interview Fig. 5, the standard stroke of Chinese character is defined as point (Dian), horizontal (one), perpendicular (Shu), casts aside (Pie), presses down (

) five kinds, other each stroke is concluded respectively in the middle of these five kinds of strokes.Be divided into horizontal stroke, left-falling stroke, three kinds of strokes of horizontal stroke [Pie one] as " second ", every stroke that folding is arranged is separately charged to without exception.Some literal be difficult for to determine when incorporating stroke into, and as " little " and " little ", point is easily obscured with pressing down, and curvedly and perpendicular in " son " and " son " easily obscures, and in this case, computing machine can be compatible, makes two kinds of strokes can both import same words.Chinese character stroke standard turns to the design of its keyboard and has created condition.

Fig. 6 is seen in the design of keyboard, with the method for single fingering line operate, is called the one-finger typewriting method, and its keyboard is called single digital, or is called " ten " keyboard, is commonly called as magic key (being equipped with the keystroke cover of finger shield simultaneously for it).Its feature is simple to operate, and movement range is little, is suitable for touch system, keys in fast, at the arrangement contribution or when listening statement, just can operate.

Also have a kind of design of keyboard, possess these advantages equally, see Fig. 7.Be called multiple finger typewriting method, its keyboard is called multiple digital dish, or claims the horizontally-arranged key.For each finger is operated simultaneously and is designed.

More than two kinds of keyboards, on the key position, all mark out standard stroke point horizontal, vertical, cast aside, press down five kinds.Be used to key in group of strokes, input characters.Be provided with 1-8 number of words key in the keyboard, be used for distinguishing input number of words what, effect is the recurrence probability that reduces group of strokes between the different numbers of words, enlarges the range of choice of group of strokes." n " key uses when being used to import the above statement of eight words.The design of these keyboards is suitable for the characteristics of hand shape, according to custom, can adjust the position of standard stroke and number of words key, and some also should be taken into account adult and children's different requirements.

The present invention adopts, and single stroke input method according to the literal characteristics, is chosen group of strokes intuitively, finishes the input of literal.This method has determined that its scope of application is very extensive, and the spoken and written languages of being imported can be ancient times, modern standard, popular, or in various science subject special dimensions, can realize the input of its word.The other nationality spoken and written languages that with the stroke are structure also all are suitable for.As Japanese, Korea's literary composition etc.Why stroke input method can be applied in various fields and area, is because it is not subjected to the influence of language difference, is not subjected to different literals to include the influence of factor.

The ultimate principle and the using method of single stroke input method and keyboard thereof have more than been told about.In practice, some concrete rule need be determined.The rule that when getting group of strokes, should note as monosyllabic word: two kinds of situations are arranged, a kind of be inseparable font as " just " word, get headed by the group of strokes method four tail two strokes and see that Fig. 8 is 1..Second kind of situation is can the branch font, extracts the group of strokes method as " bright " and is: get the preceding two stroke [Shang of first earlier], get preceding two strokes of second portion [∠] again, get last two strokes [two] of this word again, i.e. [Shang ∠ two], see that Fig. 8 is 2..Some individual character is made up of a plurality of parts, and as " folding " word, the method that base is got group of strokes is identical with the two-part word of branch; Get earlier preceding two strokes of first's " again " [

], get again preceding two strokes of second portion " again " [

], last two strokes [two] of getting this word at last, form group of strokes and be [

Two] see that Fig. 8 2..For the monosyllabic word of being made up of several parts, only extract its first preceding two, last two strokes of the first two of second portion and this word are formed group of strokes.In particular cases, as " cylinder " word, the not enough four-stroke of second portion, as " bamboo " word, two parts all not enough four-stroke in front and back so just adopts the stroke order method of first four tails two, sees that Fig. 8 is 3. 4..If not enough six strokes of stroke sum of a word, as " from " word, got the method for stroke in proper order with regard to employing, six of less thaies are located the space, see that Fig. 8 is 5. 6..

Two-character word is when extracting group of strokes, and the rule that should abide by is that preceding two strokes got in first word, and the most preceding two strokes and last two strokes got in second word, as Fig. 9 1..But under special circumstances, as " on the ground " back not enough four-stroke of word, and for example at this moment not enough two strokes of " some " previous words just adopt the preceding four-stroke of having got this speech continuously, get the method for last two strokes of this speech again and see that Fig. 9 2. 3., the all not enough four-stroke of " 3,000 " two words for another example, " one day " two not enough six strokes of word sum, the method for this word stroke has been got in employing in proper order under the both of these case, less than six stroke parts, the space sees that Fig. 9 4. 5..

Three words extract group of strokes and adopt each word to extract the method for preceding two strokes in proper order, see Figure 10 1., but when certain word less than two stroke, just only get a stroke, an empty stroke, as Figure 10 2..

3. but when first word or the last character are a stroke, just only extract a stroke, empty lattice four words are got group of strokes with two only two methods, see that Figure 10.As Figure 10 4..

Five character word adopts two methods that add four lists, as Figure 10 5., if but during not enough two strokes of first word, only get a stroke, an empty stroke.As Figure 10 6..

Six words adopt the method for single six strokes, and seven words extract group of strokes with single seven strokes, Eight characters speech with the method for single eight strokes.

When group of strokes got in the above statement of the Eight characters, only get eight strokes, need not get more.Because recurrence probability is lower, needn't import stroke more, just can distinguish each sentence pattern.

In the middle of operating process,, be that no word correspondence should be re-entered because the group of strokes of extracting is incorrect if there is error code to occur.When error code occurs, there is attention device to remind, and on screen, shows, so that proofread and correct.

By reducing the recurrence probability of institute's input word, subject sort key function is set, abbreviation sort key or classification key.As science, literature, sociology, or the like.When input characters in specific ambit, or in retrieval during repeated code, play the repeated code of this science put before, the effect that reduces the scope.Set up each section key position according to different subjects.

For improving the input efficiency of Chinese character, chain options button function is set, be called for short burst key.Promptly after previous word or sentence input,, just can demonstrate coherent word with matching, available use by burst key.As everyday character, everyday expressions, poetic prose beautiful line, special-purpose vocabulary or the like.This selection can be that last sentence also can be back one, with preposition key and rearmounted keypad branch.After selecting once, continue the method, can select once more.Also other function key can be set as required.

When using small-size computer, can make the single stroke input method keyboard special that cooperates with it.Because this keyboard key-position is few, volume is little, uses very conveniently, can be used for general word processing, and because of its economically valuable and practicality, common people can operate grasp again, is beneficial to universally, sees Figure 11, is handheld miniature stroke input method keyboard.For adapting to the size of hand-type, can be divided into two kinds of man and Mies, wherein the round key position is used for five kinds of standard strokes and 8 number of words keys, and the square button position is used for various additional functions.This keyboard can be used with other computing machine.Figure 12 adapts to the keyboard that right-hand man's difference custom designs for when operation; It is that the key position is opposite with Figure 11, and its principle is identical.
