N. input finishes.
Have the tone options button on the described keyboard, described step F, G, H are:
F. the Chinese phonetic alphabet simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable that on display unit, shows tone key and the beginning of selected vowel with box formation;
G. the moving cursor key is selected required simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and tone;
H. on display unit, show the Chinese character that is combined into by selected initial consonant, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, tone with box formation.
When showing Chinese Pin Yin pseudonym, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, Chinese character, vocabulary, symbol with box formation, the initial consonant that usage frequency is high, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, Chinese character, vocabulary, symbol place the center of square formation, and the initial consonant that usage frequency is low, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, Chinese character, vocabulary, symbol place the edge of square formation.
Advantage of the present invention:
1. owing to adopt the Chinese phonetic alphabet input mode of popularizing the most of guiding, thus input rule simple, easily learn, good note, the coding burden of human brain when having reduced operation as far as possible is easy to grasp and promote.
2. few owing to stroke, thereby improved the efficient of Chinese character and symbol input.
3. owing to adopt the technology of the square matrix-shaped soft keyboard of classification display, only need to use less button, can import the alphabet of microcomputer information standard, thus can use a teleswitch, the small-sized non-standard Chinese characters for keyboard inputting and the character of phone and various program control facilities.
Below in conjunction with embodiment the present invention is elaborated.
The most basic design philosophy of input method of the present invention is:
1. according to one of human behavior scientific principles, human thinking is carried out with the language map mostly;
2. the base unit of Chinese statement is speech rather than word, and the speech in the Chinese generally is made of multiword;
3. on small-sized non-standard keyboard, bond number few and arrange closely crowded, with the method for the conventional corresponding definition of key with character, can't be corresponding one by one, and define a plurality of characters to each key is corresponding, operate very difficult and will increase touch potential.Consider new character input definition and keyboard operation is simplified.
Existing various Chinese character input methods, searching to the bottom is nothing but to encode and according to the pronunciation two big classes of encoding according to font.The difference of its essence is based on the input that type mode carries out and also is based on the input that language mode is carried out.General knowledge is told us, anyone when learning a language literal, the sequential process of nature be listen, say, reading and writing quadravalence section.Font input method is based on the model of write phase, and the pronunciation input method is based on the model in stage.
Font encoding requires the operator when input, the Hanzi font of desire input and coding rule are compared and judges that carry out coded combination in brain, this just must memorize mechanically coding rule.During with this class methods input, human brain at first will be remembered the shape of desire input Chinese character, decomposes coding according to coding rule then, and each corresponding button is keyed in being coded in that basis obtains again successively on the keyboard.Cataloged procedure is born by human brain substantially, non-ly is difficult to popularize through specialized training.All belong to this type of as the five-stroke character input method on the microcomputer and the current order of strokes observed in calligraphy input method of on mobile phone etc., generally using etc.Because the various explanations of Hanzi structure are all based on single Chinese character, be the method that typical individual character is input as the basis based on the input method of font.
According to statistical data, using among the Chinese of computer at present, there is 98% operator to select for use the Chinese-character pronunciation mode to import Chinese character, visible Chinese-character pronunciation input method comparatively common people is accepted, and also is easy to popularize.And the more important thing is that we define word by syllable, and realize the simplification of syllable input, with the word method that the basic information unit (BIU) of input is handled, simplify input rule and reduced stroke, realized quick input.And use the order of strokes observed in calligraphy or font all can't carry out the definition of multiword word input coding as the method on basis.The standard of continent Chinese-character pronunciation is the Chinese phonetic alphabet, and therefore taking the Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet to carry out the Chinese character input all is desirable scheme on standard and two aspects of custom.We have carried out a large amount of statistical study by the usage frequency to Chinese character and word, rationally arrange distributing position and the Chinese character to be selected and the demonstration ordering of word of button, design and can fast import Chinese character, the minimum input method of Chinese character of stroke.And we move on to guiding, prompting, the selection information of input operation on the screen and show, keyboard is only done cursor and selection, has simplified the operation of keyboard, has reduced the requirement to keyboard quantity.Cursor generally speaking moves and selects, only need upward to move, move, move left, move right down and choose 5 types of operations, as long as 5 buttons are available can select this kind method for use so have, this also is that input method of the present invention is called as the reason of " Chinese-character 5-key input method ".
Use the device of input method of the present invention should have logic unit, memory unit, display unit and keyboard, Chinese character base, lexicon, symbolic library are housed in the memory unit, keyboard has cursor key and selected button.Input method of the present invention soft keyboard of screen display of device, display candidate pinyin and candidate Chinese character on soft keyboard are imported with shifting bond(s) and selected button.The layout of soft keyboard is different with general keyboard, and each key key position is to divide other according to the Chinese character statistical law, thereby can reduce the stroke of input.
Input method of the present invention is based on the Scheme for the Chinese Phonetic Alphabet, and the input of phonetic was divided into for three steps: input initial character, input are immediately following vowel, the complete simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of input of initial consonant.
Initial character divides initial consonant type and first figure two classes, wherein:
Initial consonant type initial character: initial consonant has 23 in the Chinese phonetic alphabet, and they are: B C CH D FG H J K L M N P Q R S SH T W X Y Z ZH
Unit's figure initial character: have three can be as the vowel of Chinese phonetic alphabet syllable initial character: A E O
In GB2312 standard (6763 Chinese characters), the Chinese character that with E is the phonetic initial character has 52, the Chinese character that with O is the phonetic initial character has 15, probability of occurrence is respectively 0.007 and 0.002, we are combined into a key with these two kinds of also lower initial characters of the less usage frequency of probability of occurrence, as a kind of combination of initial character.So just, obtaining the combination of following 25 kinds of initial characters, for sake of convenience, is initial consonant to call initial character in the following text.A B C CH D E/O F G H J K L M N PQ R S SH T W X Y Z ZH
These initial consonants are formed one 5 * 5 square formation, and the higher initial consonant of probability of occurrence is placed on the centre of square formation, the initial consonant that probability of occurrence is little is placed on the corner of square formation.Like this, 1 the most frequently used initial consonant at square formation center has 4 initial consonants will move cursor 1 time without moving cursor, there are 8 initial consonants will move cursor 2 times, have 8 initial consonants will move cursor 3 times, 4 initial consonants of probability minimum will move cursor 4 times, if do not consider probability of occurrence, initial consonant of average selection needs moving cursor 2.4 times, just keystroke is 2.4 times, and during still actual the use, actual keystroke is relevant with probability of occurrence, consider probability of occurrence, the statistical average stroke of this arrangement is 1.9.
After finishing the initial consonant selection, input method of the present invention is analyzed selected initial consonant, adds up the pinyin combinations relevant with it, may with the vowel of its collocation, according to the series arrangement of probability of occurrence, do not show the vowel that does not constitute Chinese phonetic alphabet syllable with this initial consonant.
In the Chinese phonetic alphabet, totally 6 of vowels: A E I O U V
Vowel commonly used is placed on the square formation center, and the letter that probability of occurrence is little is placed on the corner of square formation.In the above-mentioned initial consonant, have only two initial consonants of N, Y to arrange in pairs or groups with whole 6 vowels, the vowel of other initial consonant correspondence all is less than or equals 5.In most cases, have only 4,5 vowel candidates, move 1 cursor at most and get final product.
After having selected vowel, input method will add up can with the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable number of selected vowel collocation, again simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable commonly used is placed on the square formation center, the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable that probability of occurrence is little is placed on the corner of square formation.
Can be as follows with the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of each vowel collocation:
A family-A AI AO AN ANG
E family-E EI EN ENG
I family-I IA IAN IANG IE IN ING IONG IU
O family-O OU ONG
U family-U UA UAI UAN UANG UE UI UZ UO
V family-V
The possible situation that simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable is maximum is to have 9, needs button at most 2 times.
Through the selection of three steps, input method shows the Chinese character of being risked by selected initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable with square formation again, selects for the user.The order of Chinese character also is that deserted word placed edge during everyday character was put.
The shortcoming of spelling input method is that the unisonance repeated code is more, and as only in 3755 Chinese characters in common use of the first order of GB2312 standard, the Chinese character that pronounces for Ji and Yi has 53 respectively, if comprise the Chinese characters of level 2, phonetically similar word will be above 100.Demonstration and selection are all with very difficult on screen.For demonstration and the selection that reduces phonetically similar word, this input method also has the options button of tone on the soft keyboard that shows, allow the user according to the four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation of Chinese and select softly, the Chinese character that initial consonant, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and the tone of selecting at corresponding soft keyboard on explicit user risked, filter the unisonance Chinese character with this, reduce the button operation that the unisonance repeat code Chinese character is selected.As importing " halberd ", if only input " Ji ", then candidate has 110 more than, is a screen with 25 words, needs to show 5 screens, therefore is difficult to look for, but if select simultaneously to go up sound (3), then has only 10 candidate Chinese characters, and the user can find corresponding Chinese character very soon.
Any language and written communication form all are the base unit of performance information with the word.Equally, the input of so-called Chinese character is actually in order to finish the input of Chinese informations such as Chinese character words and phrases.With the speech is the more single Chinese character input of input of unit, and not only more effective, quick, also more match operation person's psychological cognition is accustomed to.Vocabulary frequency of occurrences in the total number of word of all kinds of articles of Modern Chinese of being made up of two words and the above Chinese character of two words is about 70%, and the independent individual character in the sentence is divided into individual character vocabulary and non-vocabulary individual character again.The non-vocabulary individual character " one " that high frequency occurs, "Yes", " ", " ", " no ", " with ", " having ", " this " etc. account for 20% of the frequency of occurrences again; That is to say that the monosyllabic word frequency of occurrences is extremely low.So iff function, can not think a kind of effective input method, also can not improve the efficient of input with single Chinese character input.The initial consonant of each word that for this reason the invention provides with the input multi-character words is the vocabulary input method of coding.When the character string of input does not satisfy above-mentioned individual character input rule, during as input " RM ", input method is pressed the high frequency of occurrences two-character word remittance decoding of lexicon definition, get explanations such as " RenMin ", " RenMing ", " RenMen ", show multiword vocabulary such as " people ", " name ", " people ".The big I of dictionary is selected for use according to user's needs, specialty and place capacity restriction, and the user can also define increase at any time and delete according to the needs of oneself.
Non-Chinese symbol quantity surpasses 600 in the GB2312 standard, even if can not import with the button method corresponding with symbol on the QWERTY keyboard of personal computer.For this reason, use of the present invention and the same screen display character of Chinese character input, the method that the keyboard moving cursor is selected, the symbol of One's name is legion is classified, be divided into classifications such as numeral, capitalization English character, small letter English character, Japanese ideogram character, Russia's Chinese character, phonetic symbol, special symbol, reduce to show and range of choice, and then show the symbol of selected classification with square formation, the user just can carry out the input of various symbols easily like this.
The used button of input method of the present invention only needs four direction key and a selected button up and down, convenient easily, simple and fast.According to the situation of the operable bond number of input media, the bond number of this input method can suitably expand, to add greater functionality (as the switching of page turning, Chinese character and symbol etc.).
This input method is used for the Chinese character input of the less keyboard of button, uses five keys just can finish the quick input of Chinese character and microcomputer code system information, can also reduce bond number according to concrete needs, and minimum can reaching with two buttons imported.And the input of support speech, phrase, special symbol and self-defined phrase.
In a word, input method utilization unique design thinking of the present invention and particular processing method have realized the input of complex information on the non-standard keyboard.Except that the input of Chinese character individual character, this input method has also comprised sort automatically the condense input, high frequency of adjustment, words and phrases of word frequency and has used that vocabulary adds automatically at self-defined dictionary, the functions such as input of special symbol.We think in actual applications a kind of, the Chinese character that faces in particular for the non-standard keyboard of information household appliances and industrial electromechanical integration equipment and the input problem of microcomputer information system code sign have been started new thinking, are worth promoting this new input method in these applications.
