Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an input method, and more particularly to a method for intuitively inputting through a physical keyboard. [Prior Art] In recent years, portable devices such as mobile phones, global positioning systems, and personal digital assistants have become more and more advanced, and have provided increasingly diverse functions. Thanks to the lightweight portable device and the convenience of these features, ® makes these devices one of the necessities of life. In general, portable devices are demanding, so their size must be designed to be lightweight. Due to the limited size of the portable device, the display unit and/or input interface, such as the keyboard, which can be set up, is relatively reduced. Figure 1 shows the input pupil 100 displayed in the display unit of a portable device. As shown in Fig. 1, it displays all the Chinese phonetic symbols in an input interface 110 at the same time. Due to the limited space, the display area Φ of each symbol will be very small, and it will be difficult for the user to input the corresponding touch screen or physical keyboard. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, the present invention provides an input method. The input method of the embodiment of the invention is applicable to an electronic device. First, a first selection interface is displayed in the display unit of the electronic device. The first selection interface has nxm selection blocks, where η and m are greater than one. One of the plural symbols is displayed in each of the selection blocks, and corresponds to one of the plurality of keys of the physical keyboard of the electronic device. Receive one of the corresponding buttons: MIC-2007-432/ 0506-A41658-TW/Draft-Final 201005580. The symbol displayed in the selected block of the corresponding selected button in the first selection interface is selected for input. The above method of the present invention can be recorded in physical media through code. When the code is intercepted and executed by the machine, the machine becomes the means for carrying out the invention. The above described objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the description of the appended claims. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 shows an input method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The input method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to an electronic device having a physical keyboard, such as a mobile phone, a global positioning system, a personal digital assistant, and the like. In step S202, the number of selection interfaces to be provided is determined according to symbols, such as the phonetic symbols of Traditional Chinese, the Pinyin of the corresponding Simplified Chinese, or the number of English letters, and the number of selected blocks in the selection interface of a specific size. In some embodiments, the selection interface has nxm selected blocks, where n and m are greater than one. It should be noted that in some embodiments, each of the selection interfaces may have the same or different number of selected blocks, which may be defined according to different requirements. In step S204, a selection interface and/or a page change prompt is displayed in the display unit of the electronic device. Wherein at most one of the symbols is displayed in each of the selection blocks, in other words, one symbol may be displayed or not displayed in each of the selection blocks. It is noted that since the number of selection interfaces determined in step S202 may be greater than one, when the number of selection interfaces is greater than one, the selection interface and the page change prompt are simultaneously displayed in the display unit. When the user selects a page change prompt, the other selection interface will be: MIC-2007-432/ 0506-A41658-TW/Draft-Final 201005580 . , » θ is displayed: It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the symbols that are not displayed in each of the selection interfaces do not overlap. When - select interface display - partial symbol, select another interface to display other remaining symbols. For example, the correspondence between each of the selected blocks in the record selection interface and each key in the physical keyboard is established. In some embodiments, each of the selection blocks can be one of the keys of the physical keyboard of one of the electronic devices. It must be noted that when the number of selected blocks in the selection interface is greater than the number of keys φ in the physical keyboard, an interface switch button will be enabled to switch the interface partitions including the different selected blocks in the selection interface. For example, Figure 3 shows an example of a selection interface. As shown in Fig. 3, the selection interface 300 includes two points, 310 and 320' each of which includes 3 selection blocks of 3χ3. Assuming that the physical keyboard has buttons of nine numbers of nine, the preset selection interface corresponding to the nine buttons is the selected block in the partition 31. When the user inputs an interface switch button (not shown), such as ', #,, key, the selection interface corresponding to the 9 buttons will be switched to the selection block of the partition 320A. For example, in step S208, it is determined whether one of the corresponding page change prompts has been received, and the corresponding interface switch button is selected as the interface switch command and the button of the wire should be the physical button. If the page change instruction of the corresponding page change prompt is received, in step S210, the next selection interface is switched, and the flow returns to step S204' to display the selection interface. For example, when the page change prompt 330 in FIG. 3 is selected, it will switch to another selection interface and perform the "shoulder:ito picture 4". Similarly, the figure 4 includes two partitions 4 ΐ θ. And 420, and a page change prompt 43=:: Step S206, each selection block and physical key in the selection and selection interface: MIC-2007-432/0506-A41658-TW/Draft-Final 201005580 Corresponding relationship of a button. If the interface switching instruction of the corresponding interface switching button is received, in step S212, the correspondence between each selected block in the recording selection interface and each key in the physical keyboard is re-established. When the user inputs an interface switch button, such as the "#" button, the selection interface corresponding to the 9 buttons will be switched to the selected block in the different partition, and the corresponding correspondence will be defined and recorded. If one of the buttons of the corresponding physical keyboard is received, in step S214, according to the correspondence between the selected block and the button in the physical keyboard, the symbol displayed in the selected block of the selected button in the selection interface is selected to become After inputting the symbol, then, as in step S216, it is determined whether an input flow is completed. It is worth noting that determining whether the input flow is completed may be determined according to symbol input logic and pinyin rules of different languages. If the input is not completed (step S216) No), the process returns to step S204 to display a selection interface. It is worth noting that the symbols displayed in the selection block may conform to the pinyin rules of the respective individual languages and the input symbols completed in the corresponding step S214. The above process continues. Until the input is completed (YES in step S216). Therefore, the input method of the present invention can intuitively input symbols through the physical keyboard. The method of the present invention, or a specific type or part thereof, can be included in the code type. Physical media, such as floppy disks, CDs, hard drives, or any other machine readable (such as computer readable) storage media, where the code becomes when the code is loaded and executed by a machine, such as a computer.
