Abstract
A character input method includes receiving inputted key code, finding out candidate word or character by checking code - character mapping databank and displaying it on candidate item display window, dividing candidate word to be word head and word end, receiving item input corresponding to required word and displaying word head or character on editing window, corresponding word end to follow - up selection key and displaying word end on editing window by receiving input of follow - up selection key.
Description
[technical field]
The present invention relates to a kind of on data processing equipment method for inputting characters with great, relate in particular to a kind of on data processing equipment the input phrase method, be applicable to data processing equipment with small size display screen.
[background technology]
Present input method is selected for convenience, behind input coding, all the words grouping that finds out can be presented at the candidate item display window.In order to improve input speed, the input method that has also will be two or be presented at the candidate item display window more than two phrase that phrase refers to the combination of the syntax and semantics of two or more words or speech with the number of words of input coding coupling.In this case, the shortcoming of existing input method is: 1) all be that whole phrase is presented at the candidate item display window, but for data processing equipment with small size display screen, mobile phone for example, PDA, electronic dictionary, undersized notebook computer etc., because candidate item display window area is limited, and each phrase is than big several times of individual character occupation space, so can only show limited several words, for the many phrases of number of words, even can only show one, the user has to constantly to carry out page turning by page turning key and shows, searches the phrase that needs, use very inconveniently, input speed is slow.What 2) coding input operation and word selection speech manipulated is identical button, promptly do not separate as the button of coding input with as the button of selecting words to use, so it is many by a key (this key may be a space bar or other a key) generally will to import the whole codings or the coding back, importation of words, as the end-of-encode function, could do the operation of word selection speech, this has increased user's input quantity undoubtedly again.
[summary of the invention]
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is exactly in order to solve the problems of the prior art, a kind of character input method is provided, both can needed the input coding end key just can select phrase, can as much as possible candidate's phrase be presented at the candidate item display window again, improve input speed, easy to use.
For achieving the above object, a kind of character input method provided by the invention is used for the literal input of digital processing unit, may further comprise the steps:
1) key or the key that receives the coding of the required phrase of being imported by keyboard makes up;
2), in literal-coding mapping database, find out the key of coding and input or the candidate item that includes candidate's phrase that the key combination is complementary according to the key or the key combination of input;
3) in advance candidate's phrase is divided in order prefix and suffix two parts, described prefix is the previous section of phrase, and described suffix is the aft section of phrase; The candidate item that will include candidate's phrase is presented in the candidate item display window; The key of the pairing option of described candidate item is impossible as the key codes of pushbuttons of the next key input of literal code;
4) input of the pairing option of the needed phrase of reception, and the prefix of this phrase is presented in the editor, the suffix of phrase then corresponds on the follow-up options button, the button that described follow-up options button is not comprised by any one coding in literal-coding mapping database for this key codes of pushbuttons, promptly this button is non-key letter;
5) receive key,, then and with the suffix of needed phrase be presented in the editor if the key of input is the key of the pairing follow-up options button of suffix of phrase by the keyboard input.
Can not be also referred to as word selection key as the button of the next key input of literal code, described word selection key is meant the button that the sequential combination of input key code or key combination and this button key can't be complementary with any coding in literal-coding mapping library; Promptly the next key in the coding of all in literal-coding mapping library all is different from this key codes of pushbuttons, and then this button is a word selection key.Button is divided into key letter and non-key letter, and key letter is the button that participates in forming literal code according to its key of coding rule, or the button that comprised by the coding in literal-coding mapping library of its key; Non-key letter is not for participating in forming the button of literal code according to its key of coding rule, or the button that do not comprised by any one coding in literal-coding mapping library of its key.Non-key letter is a word selection key, owing to do not comprise this key codes of pushbuttons in all codings in literal-coding mapping library, so also can be called normal word selection key.And key letter is different according to the key or the key combination of input, also may become word selection key, and the key that the key of this and input or key combination, the next one will be imported is relevant, if the key that the next one will be imported can not be this button, then this button is a word selection key.So word selection key is a dynamic button, by checking the corresponding next key of encoding of candidate character institute, eliminating may can find out word selection key as the button of next key.
The candidate item display window is divided into six at least shows subregion, respectively with " 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, *, 0, # " key in six keys corresponding one by one, the candidate item that will include candidate's phrase be presented at its key in the candidate item display window can not the pairing demonstration subregion of button as the next key input of literal code on; First word in the phrase or speech are set at the described prefix of step 3).
Preferably, the candidate item display window is divided into 12 shows subregions, corresponding one by one with " 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, *, 0, # " key respectively.
Preferably, described button is the button on the ccitt standard keyboard, and described follow-up options button is " * " key.
Further, in step 3), for the phrase with identical prefix, only the phrase that one of them is the most frequently used is presented in the candidate item display window; Suffix with this phrase in the step 4) corresponds on the follow-up options button.
Comprise also that after step 4) the suffix that will have other phrases of identical prefix is presented in the candidate item display window, and the key of the pairing option of these suffixes is impossible as the key codes of pushbuttons of the next key input of literal code.
Further comprising the steps of in the step 5): as, then this selected suffix to be presented in the editor if the key of input is one that has in the key of the pairing option of suffix of other phrases of identical prefix.
Step 2) can also comprise candidate in the candidate item described in, when being presented at candidate's phrase in the candidate item display window, also candidate is presented in the candidate item display window simultaneously.
Described digital processing unit is mobile phone, PDA, electronic dictionary, phone or undersized notebook computer, and described phrase can be the Chinese word group, also can be the phrase of other languages.
Step 2) described coupling is meant that the set of the more than one code element composition that first code element of encoding in the key of input or key combination and the literal-coding mapping database or front are continuous is identical, the key combination of input is long more, and the candidate Chinese character that is complementary that finds out is few more.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: the key of the pairing option of candidate item that 1) includes candidate's phrase is for can not be as the key codes of pushbuttons of the next key input of literal code, so can directly import the pairing key of option, and do not need many by a key as the end-of-encode function, remake the operation of word selection speech, thereby can reduce the input of a key, but improve input speed, use easily simultaneously.2) phrase that will have a plurality of words is divided into prefix and suffix two parts, for phrase with identical prefix, only wherein the most frequently used phrase is presented in the candidate item display window, and the suffix of this phrase corresponded on the follow-up options button, after having selected the pairing button of phrase, only prefix is presented at editor, and the suffix with other phrases of identical prefix is presented in the candidate item display window, and the user can carry out the operation of back as required: by follow-up options button input suffix, import the suffix of other phrases or import the coding of next words by the pairing button of the suffix of other phrases.Like this can conserve display space, can show more candidate's phrase and candidate, make things convenient for the user to select needed phrase or word, also improved text input speed simultaneously.When importing shown phrase if desired, behind the input prefix, need in the candidate item window, not search suffix, directly get final product, compare, few time of once searching with association function by follow-up options button.3) button that its key is not participated in form the coding in the database is made as the pairing follow-up options button of suffix, makes the user can select to import speech or phrase more neatly.For Chinese, prefix is set at two words usually, and general speech also is two words, so primary input is a speech normally, at this moment, if the user does not want to import a phrase and only wants to import a speech (i.e. the prefix of this phrase), then directly the coding of the next literal of input gets final product, if the user wants to import whole phrase, then to import follow-up options button again and can carry out the input second time, the first time and secondary input lump together and are whole phrase.So follow-up options button also can be called the springboard key, promptly then need to carry out the secondary jumping if import whole phrase.Same like this candidate's phrase can be used as the two-character word input, also can click the springboard key as the phrase input that comprises multi-character words more, just equals candidate's phrase and can represent a two-character word and a phrase.
Feature of the present invention and advantage will be elaborated in conjunction with the accompanying drawings by embodiment.
[description of drawings]
Fig. 1 represents the process flow diagram of embodiments of the invention one;
Fig. 2 represents the process flow diagram of embodiments of the invention two.
[embodiment]

Embodiment two, different with embodiment one be when the show candidate phrase, only the prefix of candidate's phrase is presented at and shows on the subregion, its input flow process as shown in Figure 2:
1) key or the key that receives by the keyboard input makes up;
2), in literal-coding mapping database, find out the key of coding and input or candidate's phrase and the word that the key combination is complementary according to the key or the key combination of input;
3) candidate's phrase is divided in order prefix and suffix two parts;
4) prefix and the candidate with candidate's phrase is presented in the candidate item display window;
5) receive the prefix of needed phrase or the option of word and import, and the prefix or the word of this phrase is presented in the editor;
6) receive next key input, if next key then begins the input of next speech or word for participating in the key codes of pushbuttons of literal code; If next key is the key of springboard key " * " key, then the pairing suffix of " * " key is presented in the editor;
7) if the corresponding more than one suffix of springboard key " * " key with identical prefix, then after the key input that receives follow-up options button, the pairing more than one suffix of " * " key is presented in the candidate item display window, receives the pairing key codes of pushbuttons of required suffix of input; Selected suffix is presented in the editor; If springboard key " * " key is suffix of correspondence only, then receive the key of " * " key of input, directly the suffix with " * " key correspondence is presented at editor.
Matched rule in the foregoing description is meant that the set of the more than one code element composition that first code element of encoding in the key of input or key combination and the literal-coding mapping database or front are continuous is identical, matched rule can also be other rules, for example comprises rule or same rule.
