Affiliated technical field

The present invention relates to input method technology, be used to improve the efficient of input method input word or speech, particularly for phonetic class input method.

Background technology

The country of non-english language can use various input methods to realize, for example in order to import national literal; Just there is numerous input methods in the input of Chinese character, wherein, and the input method that phonetic uses as most people; Have the advantages that to need not special study (like spelling) or only need simple study (like letter assembly, Two bors d's oeuveres and natural code etc.); And meet the usual thinking habit of user, although thereby its input speed be not very fast, but still by most people first-selection.

The greatest problem that exists based on the input method of phonetic is the problem of obscuring of pronunciation, and this comes from the numerous dialect of China, like z, and c, s and zhi; Chi, shi is not easily distinguishable, and l and n are not easily distinguishable, in; En and ing and eng are not easily distinguishable etc., and based on this, existing input method is improved, and are exactly a kind of like fuzzy sound setting; In the method, no longer distinguish pronunciation close initial consonant or simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, reduce the number of times of user keystroke, to improve input speed with this.But this has brought new problem, and promptly this method makes People more and more be hard to tell standard phonetic, and is unfavorable to the standardization of national culture and phonetic, particularly for student and young man, may form wrong spelling in their all one's life.

In addition, for improving the input speed of phonetic, people bring into use the part matching technique, and promptly the Pinyin coding of input (or corresponding phonetic) part is mated the phonetic of certain word or speech; Then also this word or speech are listed in the alternate list, supplied the user to select, this method also is in order to reduce stroke, to improve input speed; The problem of bringing is, the phonetic of user's input forms wrong correspondence easily with the phonetic of the Chinese character of its final input, as: if user's input Pinyin coding " shen ", for " life " word; Because its phonetic " sheng " comprises " shen ", thereby, if use local coupling; " body ", the mistake that " life " all possibly appear in the alternate list of shen, lets the user form easily " life " pronunciation of word is exactly " shen "; Equally, " ra ", " ran " and " rang " or the like also might form this problem.

The problems referred to above also are applicable to the input condition based on speech.

Simultaneously; People use frequency modulation technology to improve the first-selected hit rate of word or speech, reduce stroke, improve input speed; And allow the user to increase self-defined phrase to accelerate input; But present problem is, generally is present in the local storage based on the word frequency/word preface of above-mentioned technology, word frequency/word order, phrase storehouse or the like user's use habit data, and the use habit of user's accumulation is only relevant with the use on this machine; In case changed machine or reinstalled system, accumulation in the past is often irrevocably lost.

Summary of the invention:

The present invention provides a kind of method; Be used to overcome the above problems; Particularly, be exactly that the functions of use key switches between the phonetic of obscuring easily, thereby the incorrect pronunciations of user's input is switched on the correct pronunciation; Make things convenient for the user to obtain word or the speech that needs fast, can also correct the phonetic spelling of user error simultaneously; Alternative row word or speech through to different matching degrees carry out the mode that subregion shows, make the user to coupling or part match condition are very clear fully, are unlikely to obscure the pronunciation of its input word or speech; Through with the mode of user's use habit data storage on network or mobile storage; The input experience that the user is accumulated can be preserved for a long time; And can use whenever and wherever possible, in addition, use historical more new record to come the storage of simultaneous user's use habit data in this machine and mobile or the network storage.

Technical scheme

Functions of use key of the present invention switches word or the speech method obscured easily and uses following steps to realize:

1. the user imports a Pinyin coding;

2. this Pinyin coding of system analysis, and alternate list put in the word or the speech that will meet analysis result;

3. the user seeks the word or the speech of own desire input in alternate list, if find, shows that then the user imports correctly, this EOI, otherwise change 4;

4. show user's input error, the phonetic of obscuring easily if mistake is not causes, but because wrong input causes, then revises the input Pinyin coding, changes 2, otherwise changes 5

5. show that the user has imported the wrong Pinyin coding of obscuring that causes easily, at this moment, the user is by function key, and then the Pinyin coding of user's input automatically switches to another close with it Pinyin coding, also occurs corresponding with it alternative word or speech in the alternate list;

6. the user seeks own required word or speech in new alternate list, if find, and this EOI then, the user has also obtained the correct phonetic of this word or speech in input required word or speech;

7 repeat the process of 4-6, till the Pinyin coding of getting back to the initial user input, then represent this input failure, need the user to re-enter correct Pinyin coding;

In above-mentioned inventive method, if spelling input method has used the part matching technique simultaneously, the word or the speech of part coupling then possibly appear in the alternate list, at this moment, several kinds of situation below possibly occurring:

1. there are not needed word of user or speech in the alternate list;

2. in the district of coupling fully in the alternate list needed word of user or speech are arranged;

3. in the non-coupling fully district in the alternate list needed word of user or speech are arranged;

For situation 1 and 2, the user is easy to handle by described method, need not extraly consider that for the 3rd kind of situation, the user can have two kinds of selections, promptly

1. the functions of use key switches the phonetic of obscuring easily, and the word of desire input is appeared in the district of coupling fully in the alternate list, like this, can obtain its correct phonetic;

The user known desire input word or speech pronunciation or the user more was concerned about at that time is input speed, then can directly choose the word or the speech of desire input, to finish this input;

For transfer sequence and parsing order, can also can be the order that the user sets, or system dynamically adjust based on user's operating position by permanent order.For this part use habit and the word that is prone to obscure of user's increase or the phonetic of speech, can join in the lump in user's use habit data and go.

Alternative word or speech to different matching degrees of the present invention carries out realizing like this of subregion demonstration:

1. the user imports a Pinyin coding;

2. this Pinyin coding of system analysis through resolving, can be accomplished cutting apart or discerning of initial consonant, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, perhaps the identification of the phonetic of word or speech or cut apart;

3. according to matching strategy phonetic or Pinyin coding after resolving are mated

4. according to matching result, alternative word or speech are organized;

5. alternative word or root are shown according to a plurality of zones of matching result with a plurality of alternate list or an alternate list;

Can be in the said method for the word or the speech of coupling are provided with a zone in an alternate list or the alternate list separately fully; Not exclusively the word of coupling or speech use other zones in other alternate list or the choosing tabulation; Certainly, for the part of incomplete coupling, as required; Can also further be divided into the more multizone in more alternate list or the alternate list according to the degree of coupling.

Zones of different in the same standby list can use various colors to distinguish in demonstration, and said color can be a font color, also can be background color; For the segmentation in the zone of incomplete coupling, can use multiple color, also can use several kinds of colors to be used alternatingly; Reach the purpose of difference, for the alternative word or the speech of incomplete coupling, it puts in order can be to arrange by matching degree; Also can be the series arrangement by phonetic, can also be by the frequency of utilization of this word or speech or arrangement such as operating position recently, or the result of their combinations arranges; Certainly, also can arrange according to other strategy; To the alternative word or the speech of incomplete coupling, can also in alternate list, mark its correct phonetic notation, make things convenient for the user to correct its wrong spelling;

Zones of different in the same standby list can also be distinguished through separating sign in interregional adding, like separator bar, simultaneously, on separator bar, can also mark out correct phonetic;

Moving or the network storage and realize like this of use habit data of the present invention with local use habit synchronization of data method:

A. plain mode; Being about to word frequency/word preface record, word frequency/word order record or phrase record directly is stored in the mobile storage or the network storage; At this moment, as long as the word frequency/preface of seeing in mobile storage or the network storage and the storage of this machine or word frequency/preface relatively simple synchronously is simple alternative according to time mark; Certainly the user can intervene the direction that whether substitutes and substitute before substituting, and synchronous only need of phrase gets final product simple merging of phrase on both sides.

B. senior mode; This mode use history more new record realize; Particularly; Deposit original word frequency/preface record, word frequency/preface record or phrase record at this organizational security exactly, and on this machine and network or mobile storage, preserve more new record of history simultaneously, through history more new record generate from original word frequency/word preface record, word frequency/word order record or phrase record that current word frequency/word preface writes down, word frequency/word order writes down or the phrase record; Under this mode, described synchronous, core is exactly more new record merging of history;

History has more been put down in writing the user to word frequency/preface in the new record, word frequency/preface, and the situation of the change of phrase can have multiple implementation method, and for example for phrase, we can be provided with the basic increase phrase that is operating as, and the deletion phrase adds time mark, can realize; And for word frequently or word frequency, the situation of change of access times that can be through record word or speech and time mark at that time realize, for word preface or word order, situation of change and the time mark when changing that can write down their order realize; Said history more new record merges, and only needs by the time mark, and two history that desire is merged are all the record rearrangements in the new record more, for duplicate record, only keep one, can accomplish like this.

Beneficial effect:

Method of the present invention; Can improve the speed that the user revises between the phonetic of obscuring easily; Thereby improve the input speed of input method, and can correct the phonetic of user error, have bigger help for the standardization that improves and popularize Beijing pronunciation with phonetic; And the accumulation of user's input habit also helps to improve input speed.

Description of drawings:

Fig. 1: use different colours to distinguish the synoptic diagram of different match condition in the alternate list, among the figure, alternative word " slip by ", coupling is dark color fully, " forbearing and conciliatory " and " still " be not exclusively to mate light color;

Fig. 2: use to separate the synoptic diagram that sign is distinguished different match condition in the alternate list, among the figure, separate sign and use separator bar, and annotated therein should the zone word or the phonetic of speech;

Fig. 3: use two alternative viewing areas to represent the synoptic diagram of different match condition, top for mating alternative viewing area fully, following the is incomplete alternative viewing area of coupling;

Below, in conjunction with specific embodiment method of the present invention is done further explanation.

Practical implementation

Method of the present invention can also further specify with embodiment 1, in the ability instance; We need input " life " this word, and its correct phonetic is " shengming ", if user pronunciation is inaccurate; That import is " shenmin ", and then a possible process is following:

The user in the phonetic input field the pairing coding of input Pinyin " shenmin ", this coding is defined by spelling input method that the user uses;

2. alternative viewing area shows the 1. refreshing people 2 ... ..

3. the user can not find the word of its desire input, and discovery possibly be a cacoepy, and existence is obscured;

4. the user is by function key CTRL

5. " shenmin " corresponding codes of phonetic input field becomes " shenming " corresponding codes;

6. alternative viewing area shows: declare 2. gods 3. 1. ....

7. the user still can not find the word of its desire input

8. press the CTRL function key again

9. " shengmin " corresponding codes of phonetic input field becomes " shengming " corresponding codes;

10. alternative viewing area shows: 1. life 2. ....

11. the user finds " life " this speech, chooses it, accomplishes input;

In this process, the user has only pressed the CTRL key twice more, has just accomplished the switching to two spelling sounds; And tradition need move to the tram by cursor key, deletion error, import correct again; Need undoubtedly, use this method to improve efficient greatly by repeatedly reaching a plurality of keys.

For the spelling input method that uses the part matching technique; " life " this speech possibly in step 2 or step 6, occur, but it is not obviously mating the district fully, at this moment; The user still can proceed to step 10 as stated above; At this moment, " life " appears at the district of coupling fully of alternative viewing area, and the user can obtain the orthoepy of this word; Certainly, the user also can directly select in step 2 or step 6 for seeking quickness.

In the present embodiment, if the user need import be " life ", and that user input is " shen ", then need only just can be changed to " sheng " from " shen " through a function key, thereby obtain correct input; ' sen ', then possibly need ' sen ' and if user input is-' conversion of shen '-" sheng ".

For sheng, close pronunciation has: shen, and sen, seng certainly, for specific dialect, possibly also have other pronunciations of obscuring easily, can add in addition;

For shengming, close pronunciation has: shengmin, and shenmin, senmin, sengmin, shenming, senming, sengming, same possibly also have other pronunciations of obscuring easily for specific dialect, can expand;

Close pronunciation, system can predefine some, the user can oneself revise on this basis to be increased.

In the present embodiment, need only be with 1,5, the phonetic in 9 is realized with the Pinyin coding in the various specific spelling input methods, promptly may be used on various concrete spelling input methods, as:

Spelling: without conversion;

Two bors d's oeuveres: initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable are replaced with the letter of Two bors d's oeuveres definition respectively;

Simplicity: initial consonant or simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable are replaced with the coding of simplicity definition respectively;

Other spelling input methods: as long as with of the Pinyin coding simple corresponding replacement of standard phonetic with its employed input method.

Another embodiment of the present invention is the input in " Xi'an ", and in the time of user's input " xian ", what alternative district occurred is generally " 1: elder generation 2: line 3: county .... "; Do not have " Xi'an " of user expectation, at this moment, the user builds by CTRL; Then " xian " of phonetic input field becomes " xi ' an ", and " Xi'an " appears in alternative district, and perhaps " Xi'an " directly appears at the phonetic input field; Become default selection, the user can directly import.

These examples of implementation have been demonstrated the situation of the different parsing orders of same phonetic.

In above-mentioned two embodiment, to the identical or close phonetic of obscuring easily, system itself can set default transfer sequence; Like shenmin->shengmin->shengming->senmin->sengmin->shenming->senming->sengming, shen->sheng->sen->seng, set the parsing order; Like xi ' an->xian, in use, can be according to user's use habit, frequency; Use recently; Semantic environment or the like factor is dynamically adjusted, and the frequency modulation technology of this technology and word or speech is similar, is mature technology.

Embodiment 3 is used for explanation when using the part matching technique, and alternative word or speech are carried out the situation that subregion shows, that this embodiment supposes that the user imports is " renran "; Use an alternative viewing area to show the tabulation of alternative word or speech, alternative district uses font color to distinguish coupling and part coupling district fully, and the coupling district uses Standard Colors kermesinus (dark among the figure) fully; Like " slipping by "; Not exclusively the coupling district uses grey (light color among the figure), and is like " still ", as shown in Figure 1;

If present embodiment uses the region separation symbol, and adds phonetic notation, and is then as shown in Figure 2.

Embodiment 4 uses a plurality of alternative viewing areas to realize different match condition, and is as shown in Figure 3, uses two alternative viewing areas; Above for mating alternative viewing area fully; Following is not exclusively to mate alternative viewing area, word or speech below selecting, functions of use key+Digital Implementation.

Latter two embodiment is used for explaining network or the mobile storage of user's use habit data and synchronously.

Embodiment 5: the realization of simple synchronization, and for word frequency/word preface record, word frequency/word order record is obscured voice frequency/order or the like, directly duplicates to get final product, and for phrase, two phrase storehouses merge like this, adopt following steps to carry out:

1. set up a new phrase storehouse, initial phrase bar number is 0;

2. all phrases that desire merged in a certain phrase storehouse in the phrase storehouse add in the new phrase storehouse;

3. read each phrase in another phrase storehouse successively, and with new phrase storehouse in existing phrase relatively, if there is not repetition, in then that it adding is the new phrase storehouse, otherwise abandon;

4. last new phrase storehouse is exactly the phrase storehouse after merging

The operation that adds the phrase storehouse can combine the information of word frequency, order, and suitable position put in the speech that adds;

Embodiment 6: use the historical synchronous realization under recording mode recording user use habit and this mode of upgrading

A. based on the record of frequency, can design like this: frequency uses double word to represent that every use once adds 1, like this; Historical more new record can be designed to the variable quantity of frequency, and this variable quantity can write down once in every N minute, and perhaps M record of change of frequency once; During record, need note the time at that time simultaneously, like this; As long as according to time sequencing,, can obtain current frequency record from the original frequency record with all variable quantity additions;

B. based on record in proper order; Can design like this: journal uses pointer to represent, this element of this pointed is previous element in the formation of place, and historical more new record can be designed to this pointer change of elements pointed; Like this; As long as according to time sequencing, the simulation variation of order so successively just can obtain the order near the final requirement of user;

C. based on phrase record synchronously, fairly simple, as long as two kinds of recording operations are set; Promptly increase phrase, time mark added in the deletion phrase; Like this; As long as according to time sequencing, simulation increases the operation of phrase or deletion phrase successively, just can generate current up-to-date phrase storehouse from initial phrase storehouse;

Under above-mentioned three kinds of situation, following steps are used in the merging of historical more new record:

1. set up more new record of a new history, the original records number is 0;

2. desire is merged all records in the historical more new record and add new history more in the new record;

3. read each record in another historical record that desire merges successively, and with new history more the record in the new record relatively, if there is not repetition, then that it adding is new history is more in the new record, otherwise abandons;

4. last new history more new record is exactly the history new record more after merging.

Can be in merging process, or merge and finish the back to the more new record ascending ordering on time of all history, so that use later on.

Method of the present invention also is suitable for various spelling input methods; Described Pinyin coding can be spelling, Two bors d's oeuveres, letter assembly or other spelling input methods; Because piecing together just with letter, Two bors d's oeuveres simply substitutes with short letter or letter group writing long initial consonant or simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable in the phonetic; Not difference is for other spelling input methods, also similar in essence.

Method of the present invention also is suitable for and input based on the sentence of phonetic, because obviously sentence is made up of word and speech.
