Description

A kind of mixing implementation method of the multi-input-state based on button

[technical field]

The present invention relates to the method that a kind of keypad by electronic message unit carries out the character input, relate in particular to a kind of keypad, mix the method that the input of stroke system Chinese character, the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate input, symbol input, letter input, numeral input are realized in ground by the palm information equipment.It can be applicable to the character input field of portable keypad electronic message units such as telepilot, game machine, cell-phone, palm PC, electronic dictionary, digital camera, personal digital assistant, electronic notebook under the input in Chinese environment.

[background technology]

People are on the keypad of electronic message units such as cell-phone at present, carry out mixing when input of the multiple character types under the Chinese environment and various Chinese character input methods and the time spent, in order on a limited number of buttons, to realize multiple input function, the known method that is adopted is, keypress function is set at multiple input state, by the switching of button input state, realize multiple input types such as the input of stroke system Chinese character, the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate input, symbol input, letter input, numeral input respectively.When the change of input type, often need the operator to carry out the corresponding switching of key-press status.

Traditional implementation method recited above is with the corresponding multiple concrete input function that realizes button of multiple input state.Its maximum shortcoming is that in the input process of text character, the operator often needs to carry out continuous input state and switches.The reason that this state switches may be that the variation owing to institute's input text character causes, for example needs to import punctuate, symbol, letter, numeral etc. under the Chinese character input state; Another situation that state switches is, the input method status of operator when the Chinese character input is met difficulty switches, no matter be the operator who gets used to the stroke system input method, still the operator who gets used to the phoneticizing type input method, in Chinese character input process, if the state that need carry out input method usually of meeting difficulty switches.Promptly when the stroke method runs into the inconvenient Chinese character of input, tend to force the operator to use the input of phonetic method instead temporarily, and gain after a while; When the phonetic method runs into the inconvenient Chinese character of input, tend to force the operator to use the input of stroke method instead temporarily, and gain after a while.

[summary of the invention]

The present invention has overcome deficiency of the prior art, and the mixed input method of a kind of stroke system Chinese character, phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate, symbol, letter, numeral is provided.Its objective is, in the input process of text character, avoid some unnecessary stateful switchover process, they are implemented in jointly with among a kind of input state.To realizing that technical scheme of the present invention is described below.

The general procedure of stroke system Chinese character input in the present invention,, the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate input, symbol input, letter input, numeral input is:

1. in the Chinese character input, no matter be the input of stroke system Chinese character, or the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, employed button operation can reduce three types on function: coding retrieval, selected, the tabulation page turning of Chinese character.So-called coding retrieval, be meant according to Chinese character in the feature aspect stroke or the phonetic, the Chinese character that retrieval will be imported from Chinese character base, in its process, can will meet all Chinese characters of retrieval code condition constitute current candidate Chinese character tabulation, and first page of this candidate Chinese character tabulation is presented on the current screen; So-called Chinese character is selected, is meant that by the selected mode of confirming, wherein a certain candidate Chinese character is input among the text for being presented at a plurality of candidate Chinese characters on the screen, that be arranged in candidate Chinese character tabulation current page; So-called tabulation page turning is meant being arranged among the current candidate Chinese character tabulation but is not presented at other candidate Chinese character of current screen page or leaf, can search by the method for page turning.

2. in punctuate input and symbol input, involved keypress function class of operation is similar to the Chinese character input, also can reduce three types: the page turning that selected, the punctuate of ejection, punctuate or the symbol of punctuate or symbol tabulation or symbol are tabulated.

3. in letter input and numeral input, not reciprocal process by character lists, but import directly or indirectly by respective keys, promptly numeral is directly imported by its corresponding digital key, and letter is imported indirectly by means of the prefix button and by its pairing numerical key.

In the present invention, for six kinds of input states differences of the above-mentioned stroke system Chinese character input that is implemented in keypad, the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate input, symbol input, letter input, numeral input are come, employed thinking is:

1. at first, utilize the different key part in the keypad, promptly " five navigation key " part and " numerical key " part are tentatively distinguished different input states;

2. simultaneously, button operation is divided into two kinds of different types, promptly " presses " operation and " long pressing " operation, further to define the input state of button;

3. moreover, utilize stroke coding and Pinyin coding and all unappropriated one or several specific coding of prefix part thereof of all Chinese characters, be called vacant stroke coding or Pinyin coding again, as the ejection condition of punctuate tabulation and symbol tabulation, the while is the precondition of conduct letter input also.

In the present invention, according to above-mentioned thinking,, design following key allocative decision to six kinds of input states of the input of stroke system Chinese character, the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate input, symbol input, numeral input, letter input:

1. five navigation key both had been used to import the stroke code of Chinese character, be used for again the page turning of Chinese character tabulation, punctuate tabulation, symbol tabulation and character selected wherein, and these two kinds of functional statuses with these button operations press or long by being distinctive mark;

2. numerical key 0-9 both had been used to import the phonetic sign indicating number of Chinese character, was used for input digit again, and these two kinds of functional statuses with these button operations press or long by being distinctive mark;

3. several the most brief vacant stroke coding or vacant Pinyin codings, the key inlet that tabulation is ejected when both being used for punctuate input and symbol input, the button prefix when being used for letter again and importing.

Technical scheme main points of the present invention are summarized as follows:

1. in the input of stroke system Chinese character, with five kinds of basic stroke types of horizontal, vertical, left, points, discount, as the coding unit of encode Chinese characters for computer.Between these five stroke coding units and their five navigation key of input, set up relation one to one.And constitute and stroke order is a clue with the stroke of Chinese character, carry out the coding and the retrieval of Chinese character.Because not existing with " perpendicular-perpendicular-perpendicular " and " point-point-point " in the Chinese character base is the Chinese character of stroke coding or stroke coding prefix, and they all are the most brief vacant stroke codings, so they all can be used for the key set code entry condition of punctuate tabulation and symbol tabulation ejection.

2. in phoneticizing type Chinese character input, with a, b, c ... 26 each self-corresponding digital 2-9 of phonetic alphabet of z are as the coding unit of encode Chinese characters for computer.Between these Pinyin coding units and their numerical key of input, set up relation one to one.And be clue in proper order with alphabetical formation in the phonetic transcriptions of Chinese characters combination, carry out the coding and the retrieval of Chinese character.Because " 1 " key of standard digital keypad and all not corresponding any letter of " 0 " key, they can be interpreted as the most brief vacant Pinyin coding to coding " 1 " and coding " 0 ", so all can be used for the key set code entry condition of punctuate tabulation and symbol tabulation ejection.

3. in the input process of a Chinese character, both can import its stroke coding, and can import its Pinyin coding again, and these two kinds of imputting Chinese characters use common candidate Chinese character tabulation.All candidate Chinese characters in the candidate Chinese character tabulation are common factors of the result for retrieval of the result for retrieval of current institute input stroke coding string and current institute input Pinyin coded strings.Two kinds of coding retrieval modes and usefulness, be that for convenience the operator does not need state to switch and uses another kind of imputting Chinese characters immediately instead when a kind of imputting Chinese characters is met difficulty; Or the operator uses two kinds of retrieval modes simultaneously for convenience, to search the Chinese character that will import as early as possible.

4. in two kinds of imputting Chinese characters of stroke and phonetic, the imputting Chinese characters of selecting wherein a kind of conduct mainly to use, another kind of aided Chinese characters input mode as provisional use.And in main use-pattern, should use as far as possible less or not use the length of button by operation.

5. utilizing vacant stroke coding or Pinyin coding, be one or more in stroke coding " perpendicular-perpendicular-perpendicular ", stroke coding " point-point-point ", Pinyin coding " 1 ", the Pinyin coding " 0 ", after punctuate tabulation or symbol tabulation ejection, when this tabulation being carried out page turn over operation or selected operation, be to use each alphabetical pairing numerical key 2-9, therefore these numerical keys can be used for the letter input under precondition, as for the polysemy of the letter of each numerical key representative, can solve by the method for touch potential identification.

6. in the input process of Chinese character, punctuate, symbol, all be used in combination candidate character list, and the distribution shape of peripheral four-way key is identical in the distribution shape of candidate character list and five navigation key, promptly in each page of candidate character list, comprise four candidate characters, and they are in the relative position of upper and lower, left and right respectively.This makes and exists a kind of direct linking relationship between four buttons of upper and lower, left and right in four candidate characters of upper and lower, left and right in the candidate character list and five navigation key, this linking relationship is realized by the position is corresponding intuitively, to make things convenient for the selected button operation of character, because when a candidate Chinese character, punctuate, symbol selected, all each self-corresponding four-way key is realized by them.

7. in the input process of phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate, symbol, after the inlet coding input that the Pinyin coding of Chinese character or punctuate, symbol tabulation are ejected finishes, if the character that will import does not also appear among the current page of candidate character list, be necessary the page turn over operation of tabulating.The employed key of this page turn over operation, except be Chinese character, punctuate, symbol input general to the center key among five navigation key press or long by, can also be last bits of coded in the previous institute input coding.Because under latter instance, the operator can continue to carry out the tabulation page turn over operation easily under the condition that key position need not change.

8. when the input of numeral, can directly grow and press numerical key 0-9, import corresponding digital respectively.Because these keys do not conflict with the employed various keys of aforementioned operation.

Can learn that according to top content is described in the present invention, common candidate Chinese character tabulation is used in input of stroke system Chinese character and the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, two kinds of imputting Chinese characters can use simultaneously; Because the input of punctuate, symbol, letter all is under the Chinese character input state, and utilize Chinese character vacant stroke coding or Pinyin coding as entry condition, therefore after a punctuate, symbol, letter input are finished, system will be in original residing Chinese character input state, returns automatically to the Chinese character input state but show as on effect by punctuate input state, symbol input state, alphabetical input state; Simultaneously, Shuo Zi input does not constitute any influence to candidate character list.So as conclusion, the present invention can be implemented in six kinds of input states of stroke system Chinese character, phoneticizing type Chinese character, punctuate, symbol, letter, numeral among the Chinese character input state uniformly.

Compared with prior art, beneficial effect of the present invention mainly shows the seamless switching of character input state, and the high efficiency of character input operation and dirigibility.

1.2 phoneticizing type Chinese character involved in the present invention input is meant that with alphabetical formation in the phonetic transcriptions of Chinese characters combination be clue in proper order, carries out the coding of Chinese character, and as the search method of Chinese character.

1.3 punctuate involved in the present invention input is meant the input of punctuation mark commonly used in Chinese linguistic context, for example but be not limited to following these:,.：；！？·‘’“”()[]{}『』【】＜＞《》——……

1.4 symbol involved in the present invention input, be meant in Chinese linguistic context the input of special symbol commonly used, for example but be not limited to following these :+-* ÷=±～* @#$ ∵ ∴ ∷ ... √ ⊥ ∥ ∠ ⊙ ◎ ∫ ∮ ≡ ≌ ≈ ∞ ∝ ≠ ≮ ≯≤〉=α β ε ♂ ♀ | ‖/%﹠amp; ∨ ℃ of ￠ ¤ of $ ※ ∑ ∏ ∈ Ω ∧ № § ☆ ★ △ ▲ ◇ ◆ zero ● ■ 〓

1.5 letter involved in the present invention input is meant the input of the capital and small letter of 26 English alphabets.

1.6 numeral involved in the present invention input is meant the input of ten arabic numeral of 0-9.

2 about button involved in the present invention and use thereof

2.1 relate to button

Button involved in the present invention comprises five navigation key, numerical key, function key.Wherein:

2.1.1 five navigation key comprise four-way key (going up key, following key, left button, right button) and center key;

2.1.2 numerical key comprises the 10 numeric keys of 0-9;

2.1.3 function key is meant clear key (CLR), " * " key, " # " key, soft key (L, R) in the present invention.

Above-mentioned button part, a kind of exemplary distribution mode on present cell-phone keypad, as shown in Figure 1.

2.2 use-pattern

Operation for above-mentioned button has dual mode, promptly " presses " and " long pressing ", and they will produce different program reactions in realizing running software of the present invention.It is explained as follows:

2.2.1 " pressing " operation to button is meant, presses certain button and unclamps at once afterwards.In the present invention, for the feature operation that relative high frequency is used, will use this button operation mode.

2.2.2 " long pressing " operation to button is meant, press certain button, and the state that always keeps this button to be pressed in the defined sufficiently long time period at a software, with by the bond distance by corresponding programs reaction this time elongate member satisfy the back and take place automatically, whether unclamped irrelevant with button, the operator can refresh by the demonstration of screen, knows that current length enters into force by operation.In the present invention, for the feature operation that relative low frequency uses, will use this button operation mode.

3 input modes about encode Chinese characters for computer

The input of encode Chinese characters for computer comprises the input of stroke coding and the input of Pinyin coding, but in the input process of a Chinese character, they are not simultaneously essential.

3.1 the input mode of encoding of Chinese stroke

In the stroke system coding of Chinese character, utilize five kinds of basic strokes of known Chinese character, promptly horizontal (one, contain and carry

), perpendicular (Shu contains Shu Gou 亅), cast aside (Pie), (Dian contains right-falling stroke to point ), folding (Ya, comprise a various foldings stroke, as: Ya Yin 

ㄋ ㄑ ...), as coding unit, and Chinese character is encoded according to the stroke and the order of strokes observed in calligraphy of Chinese-character writing.

According to this encode Chinese characters for computer mode, when the stroke system retrieval of carrying out Chinese character, stroke according to desire input Chinese character constitutes and stroke order, with its horizontal, vertical, left, points, discount stroke, respectively by upper and lower, left and right in five navigation key, in five buttons, with press or long by mode, input successively.As for the selection of " pressing " or " long pressing ", decide on the key allocative decision in the concrete application.

Five kinds of strokes are corresponding one by one with five buttons, and are for example shown in Figure 2 about a case of their corresponded manners, wherein, on-horizontal, down-perpendicular a, left side-left-falling stroke, the right side-point, in-roll over.In this scheme, be easy to associate stroke type with its corresponding form of a stroke or a combination of strokes tendency and its representative by the position of each button in whole five navigation key, therefore the vision help that this can provide usefulness to the operator need each stroke type is printed on the corresponding button.

For instance, under this stroke coding mode, the stroke coding of " structure " word is: " horizontal-perpendicular-left-falling stroke-point-left-falling stroke-folding-folding-point ", stroke coding length is 8.The input process of the stroke coding that it is complete should be: go up key (horizontal stroke)-following key (erecting)-left button (left-falling stroke)-right button (point)-left button (left-falling stroke)-middle key (folding)-middle key (folding)-right button (point).

3.2 the input mode of Chinese-character sound dissection encode

In the phoneticizing type of Chinese character coding, utilize the pairing numeral of phonetic alphabet of Chinese character, as coding unit, and Chinese character is encoded according to the phonetic alphabet combination of Chinese character.

According to this encode Chinese characters for computer mode, when the phoneticizing type retrieval of carrying out Chinese character, by eight numerical keys of 2-9 on the keypad,, import its pairing numeral of each phonetic alphabet successively respectively in the mode of pressing.

Corresponding relation between phonetic alphabet and the digital keys is many-to-one characteristics, is embodied in the numerical key part among Fig. 1.Wherein, 2-abc, 3-def, 4-ghi, 5-jkl, 6-mno, 7-pqrs, 8-tuv, 9-wxyz.On the keypad of present cell-phone, can be printed with these numerals and alphabetical combination usually.

For instance, under this Pinyin coding mode, the Pinyin coding of " structure " word is: " 4-6-8 ", Pinyin coding length is 3.The input process of the Pinyin coding that it is complete should be: 4 keys (4)-6 keys (6)-8 keys (8).

The reset mode when 3.3 the coding mistake is imported

No matter be stroke coding, or Pinyin coding, in the process of coding input, when the operator recognizes the maloperation of button, can utilize clear key to remove.By pressing clear key, remove current last bits of coded of having imported; Perhaps press clear key, remove current all bits of coded of having imported by long.The coding of being imported is through after partly or wholly deleting, and current candidate Chinese character is tabulated and also correspondingly carried out Refresh Data.

4 attributes about the candidate Chinese character tabulation

On screen display, three elements are arranged: character text editing area, key input viewing area, candidate character list district, as shown in Figure 3.Wherein:

The character text editing area is used to show the current character text of importing, but multipage show, and with the current editor position of cursor videotex;

Key input viewing area, be used to show current all key sequences of having imported, wherein, the stroke coding of Chinese character represents that with the sequence of various strokes " ", " Shu ", " Pie ", " Dian ", " Ya " sequence that the Pinyin coding of Chinese character is 2-9 with each alphabetical pairing numeral is represented;

The candidate character list district, candidate character list is embodied in candidate Chinese character tabulation, the tabulation of candidate's punctuate, candidate symbol tabulation, and they all are used for showing a current page for selected character lists.The input of numeral and letter is not need this candidate character list.

When following emphasis is described in the Chinese character input, the various characteristics of candidate Chinese character tabulation.

The candidate Chinese character tabulation is meant that according to current stroke coding string of having imported and Pinyin coding string, by the tabulation of each Chinese character of input possibly of system intelligence prediction, it can show by multipage.Each Chinese character that is stored in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation all satisfies such coding retrieval character: be not only the whole stroke coding of Chinese character or the prefix part of its whole stroke coding, and identical with the current stroke coding string of having imported; And be the whole Pinyin coding of Chinese character or the prefix part of its whole Pinyin coding, identical with the current Pinyin coding string of having imported.When not importing any stroke code and phonetic sign indicating number, the Chinese character in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation should be the Chinese character base complete or collected works.

4.1 candidate Chinese character tabulation have a meaning

The candidate Chinese character tabulation occupy core status in Chinese character input process, also be simultaneously the operation interface of Chinese character input.In the whole process of Chinese character input, the candidate Chinese character tabulation exists all the time, and it can provide various facilities for the Chinese character input.For example: the operator does not import or imports on a small quantity under the situation of encode Chinese characters for computer, can directly select a Chinese character in the input current page, can reduce touch potential on the whole like this; The existence of candidate Chinese character tabulation will help to solve the input problem of the identical Chinese character of repeat code Chinese character and coding prefix, make things convenient for the secondary coding of selecting because the candidate Chinese character tabulation can be wherein each candidate Chinese character; The existence of candidate Chinese character tabulation is with the input of buffering coding and the Chinese character index relation between the two, so that save the required touch potential of Chinese character input.

4.2 the appearance attribute of candidate Chinese character tabulation

Candidate Chinese character tabulation often is made of a plurality of candidate Chinese characters, so they usually exist with the form of multipage and page-turnable shows respectively.In every page of candidate Chinese character tabulation, show four Chinese characters altogether, they go to upper and lower, left and right crossing distribution, as shown in Figure 4.In fact, not just Chinese character tabulation, the punctuate tabulation also is so to distribute with the page of symbol tabulation.

In the present invention, the selected of candidate Chinese character all realized by the four-way key.Because the relative position of each candidate Chinese character in its tabulation, i.e. the relative position of certain four-way key in five navigation key of this Chinese character selected in representative, so this location map relation will make very directly perceived of the selected operation of Chinese character.In a word, be the shape-designing of candidate Chinese character tabulation by operation interface to the Chinese character input, can be convenient to the secondary coding of selected input to each candidate Chinese character especially, because it provides direct key position information towards button operation.

4.3 the operational attribute of candidate Chinese character tabulation

Various concrete button operation in whole Chinese character input process is a center object with the candidate Chinese character tabulation all, and its elementary object all is that the Chinese character that will import is called within the character text editing area from the candidate Chinese character tabulation.Button operation for candidate Chinese character tabulation has three types: coding retrieval, selected, the tabulation page turning of Chinese character, and these three kinds of button operation modes are complementary, they can carry out mutually across in Chinese character input process.They are described below respectively.

4.3.1 coding retrieval

This button operation refers to, and according to the formation of the stroke coding that will import Chinese character or Pinyin coding, as key condition, retrieves the Chinese character that will import with this in current candidate Chinese character tabulation.

In Chinese character input process, along with the continuous input of encoding of Chinese stroke or Pinyin coding, all Chinese characters in the existing candidate Chinese character tabulation are also carrying out constantly screening according to the key code of being imported.Each Chinese character that will meet the retrieval requirement continues to remain in the candidate Chinese character tabulation, and it is superseded from tabulation to meet each Chinese character of retrieving requirement.Therefore, stroke coding position of every input or Pinyin coding position, the candidate Chinese character tabulation also can correspondingly be upgraded.

4.3.2 Chinese character is selected

This button operation refers to, to appearing at the Chinese character that to import in the candidate Chinese character tabulation current page, utilize the visual location corresponding relation between candidate Chinese character and the four-way key, four-way key by the position, upper and lower, left and right, with the corresponding candidate Chinese character in their positions, and it is called in the current cursor part of character text editing area in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation of selected respectively input.

When the Chinese character that will import comes across the current page of candidate Chinese character tabulation, need this button operation.And in the present invention, Chinese character is selected is all requisite operation in arbitrary Chinese character input process.

4.3.3 tabulation page turning

This button operation refers to, and is more when candidate Chinese character quantity, when needing multipage to show respectively, can carry out page turning to current candidate Chinese character tabulation by button, searches the Chinese character that will import in batches.

The occasion that the tabulation page turn over operation is used is normally: when the coding search operaqtion, because of stroke coding or the Pinyin coding that will import Chinese character are discerned the difficult input of having interrupted, because the very few candidate Chinese character that causes of bits of coded imported is too many, fail to appear under the situation of current homepage of candidate Chinese character tabulation and will import Chinese character; And when the phoneticizing type Chinese character is imported, even all the Pinyin coding positions in the desire input Chinese character have been imported finish, also can be more because of the repeated code word, and the desire that causes input Chinese character fails to appear under the situation of current homepage of candidate Chinese character tabulation.

4.4 the ordering attribute of candidate Chinese character tabulation

In the design that each Chinese character puts in order in the candidate Chinese character tabulation, should follow following principle:

4.4.1 the Chinese character that high frequency uses is positioned at before the Chinese character of low frequency use.Here said " high frequency " and " low frequency " not only have the meaning on the macroscopic view, the regularity that the integral body of usage frequency is added up in the Chinese environment that promptly each Chinese character had; And has a meaning on the microcosmic, promptly with respect to current forerunner's Chinese character, its various all the possible follow-up Chinese characters finished of having imported, the height that should have frequency numerical value in the order, the high frequency word on this microcosmic meaning often shows as the verbal association word of forerunner's Chinese character.

4.4.2 Pi Pei Chinese character is positioned at before the Chinese character of prefix matching fully.No matter be the input of stroke system Chinese character, or the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, in the process of retrieval code input, the existing word that mates fully of Chinese character that the candidate Chinese character tabulation is cited has the prefix matching word again.Mate word fully and be positioned at before the prefix matching word, can avoid the page turn over operation of tabulating to greatest extent, and handled easily person searching candidate Chinese character.Coupling is meant that the whole stroke coding of Chinese character or Pinyin coding and the current coded strings of having imported are identical fully; Prefix matching is meant, the one or more continuous programming codes position and the current coded strings of having imported that start in the stroke coding of Chinese character or Pinyin coding are identical.

4.4.3 in the process of encode Chinese characters for computer retrieval, will be all the time according to the described order of top two principle, enumerate each Chinese character in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation.But when two principle conflicts mutually, will preferentially follow front second principle.

5 two kinds of concrete schemes and the some technical characterictics that mixing realizes about multi-input-state

The Chinese character input habit that the present invention is different according to the operator provides two kinds of different operator schemes, and they correspond respectively to operator who gets used to the input of stroke system Chinese character and the operator who gets used to the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character; In other words, on the basis of different Chinese character input habits, the present invention provides two kinds of different embodiments respectively.On the basis of two kinds of embodiments, the technical characterictic that present invention will be further described.

5.1 scheme one

In this scheme, when Chinese character is imported, be auxilliary based on stroke mode, phonetic mode; Utilize vacant encoding of Chinese stroke or Pinyin coding, eject interface as the tabulation of punctuate and symbol, simultaneously the button prefix of importing as letter; Digital then by the length of respective keys by directly importing.

5.1.1 Chinese character input

[coding retrieval] mainly, press five navigation key and carry out the Chinese character index of stroke code, promptly the stroke according to desire input Chinese character constitutes and stroke order, with its horizontal, vertical, left, points, discount stroke, import successively by last key, time key, left button, right button, the center key pressed in five navigation key respectively; The Chinese character index that numerical key 2-9 carries out the phonetic sign indicating number is pressed on auxiliary ground, promptly forms according to the phonetic of desire input Chinese character, with wherein each letter, imports successively by pressing the corresponding digital key respectively.In the process of coding retrieval, all Chinese characters in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation had not only satisfied the stroke coding feature imported, but also had satisfied the Pinyin coding feature of being imported.The input of the input of stroke code and phonetic sign indicating number can hand over the free burial ground for the destitute to carry out mutually, but they all must carry out in strict accordance with coded sequence separately.

[Chinese character selected] is long by the four-way key among five navigation key, in the selected candidate Chinese character tabulation current page, a candidate Chinese character of corresponding position.After the selected input of Chinese character, the candidate Chinese character original list refreshes immediately, and they are generally the association word with the Chinese character high frequency logotype of importing.

[tabulation page turning] is long by the center key among five navigation key, perhaps under the situation that the Pinyin coding input finishes, continue to press last coded number keyboard in the Pinyin coding, to candidate Chinese character tabulation carrying out page turning.The tabulation page turn over operation only carries out where necessary, and is page turning in a looping fashion.

5.1.2 punctuate input

[tabulation eject] for ejecting the tabulation of candidate's punctuate, can be by in following four kinds of modes one or more: press the following key three times in five navigation key continuously; Press the right button three times in five navigation key continuously; Press numerical key " 1 " once; Press numerical key " 0 " once.This be because, these four kinds of modes produce stroke coding " perpendicular-perpendicular-perpendicular ", stroke coding " point-point-point ", Pinyin coding " 1 ", the Pinyin coding " 0 " of Chinese character respectively, they all are vacant encodes Chinese characters for computer, do not have Chinese character corresponding with them in Chinese character base.

[punctuate selected] is long by four-way key, in selected candidate's punctuate tabulation current page, candidate's punctuate of corresponding position.After the punctuate input was finished, the punctuate tabulation was transformed to the Chinese character tabulation automatically.

[tabulation page turning] is for four kinds of ejection modes of above-mentioned punctuate tabulation, no matter use any, after the punctuate tabulation occurs, all can be by continuing to carry out the once method of previous last key set code (promptly press down key, press right button, press 1 key, press 0 key) that uses, perhaps by long method by center key, to the punctuate tabulation page turn over operation that circulates, key of every execution carries out page turn over operation one time.

5.1.3 symbol input

[tabulation eject] for ejecting the candidate symbol tabulation, can be by in following four kinds of modes one or more: press the following key three times in five navigation key continuously; Press the right button three times in five navigation key continuously; Press numerical key " 1 " once; Press numerical key " 0 " once.But, eject the key set code that candidate symbol is tabulated, can not conflict mutually with the key set code definition of front " input of 5.1.2 punctuate " middle candidate of ejection punctuate tabulation.

[symbol selected] is long by four-way key, in the selected candidate symbol tabulation current page, a candidate symbol of corresponding position.After the symbol input was finished, the symbol tabulation was transformed to the Chinese character tabulation automatically.

[tabulation page turning] is for four kinds of ejection modes of above-mentioned symbol tabulation, no matter use any, after the symbol tabulation occurs, all can be by continuing to carry out the once method of previous last key set code (promptly press down key, press right button, press 1 key, press 0 key) that uses, perhaps by long method by center key, to the symbol tabulation page turn over operation that circulates, key of every execution carries out page turn over operation one time.

5.1.4 letter input

By front " input of 5.1.2 punctuate " or " input of 5.1.3 symbol " described method, after punctuate tabulation or symbol tabulation ejection, continue to press or length by numerical key 2-9, can realize the input of English alphabet.Be exactly specifically, at the button of the defined enough weak points of software in interval time, according to numerical key 2-9 is pressed or long by number of times, determining on the same numerical key some in pairing a plurality of letters; Simultaneously, " the pressing " or " long pressing " to numerical key 2-9 determining the current capital and small letter of wanting input alphabet.For instance, in defined button section interval time, for " 2/abc " key, if press twice continuously, then the letter of being imported is " b "; If press once and long by once, then the letter of being imported is " B "; If press continuously three times and long by once, then the letter of being imported is " A ".

5.1.5 numeral input

Length is pressed numerical key 0-9, imports corresponding digital respectively.This operates current candidate character list without any influence.

5.2 scheme two

In this scheme, when Chinese character is imported, be auxilliary based on phonetic mode, stroke mode; Utilize vacant encoding of Chinese stroke or Pinyin coding, eject interface as the tabulation of punctuate and symbol, simultaneously the button prefix of importing as letter; Digital then by the length of respective keys by directly importing.

5.2.1 Chinese character input

[coding retrieval] mainly, presses the Chinese character index that numerical key 2-9 carries out the phonetic sign indicating number, promptly forms according to the phonetic of desire input Chinese character, with wherein each letter, imports successively by pressing the corresponding digital key respectively; Auxiliary ground, the long Chinese character index that carries out stroke code by five navigation key, promptly the stroke according to desire input Chinese character constitutes and stroke order, with its horizontal, vertical, left, points, discount stroke, imports successively by the last key in five navigation key, following key, left button, right button, center key by long respectively.In the process of coding retrieval, all Chinese characters in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation had not only satisfied the stroke coding feature imported, but also had satisfied the Pinyin coding feature of being imported.The input of the input of stroke code and phonetic sign indicating number can be carried out mutually across, but they all must carry out in strict accordance with coded sequence separately.

[Chinese character selected] presses the four-way key among five navigation key, in the selected candidate Chinese character tabulation current page, a candidate Chinese character of corresponding position.After the selected input of Chinese character, the candidate Chinese character original list refreshes immediately, and they are generally the association word with the Chinese character high frequency logotype of importing.

[tabulation page turning] presses the center key among five navigation key, perhaps under the situation that Pinyin coding input finishes, continue to press last coded number keyboard in the Pinyin coding, to candidate Chinese character tabulation carrying out page turning.The tabulation page turn over operation only carries out where necessary, and is page turning in a looping fashion.

[punctuate selected] presses the four-way key, in selected candidate's punctuate tabulation current page, candidate's punctuate of corresponding position.After the punctuate input was finished, the punctuate tabulation was transformed to the Chinese character tabulation automatically.

[tabulation page turning] is for four kinds of ejection modes of above-mentioned punctuate tabulation, no matter use any, after the punctuate tabulation occurs, all can by continue to carry out once previous last key set code that uses (promptly long press key, long by right button, press 1 key, press 0 key) method, perhaps by pressing the method for center key, to the punctuate tabulation page turn over operation that circulates, key of every execution carries out page turn over operation one time.

5.2.3 symbol input

[tabulation eject] for ejecting the candidate symbol tabulation, can be by in following four kinds of modes one or more: the long continuously following key of pressing in five navigation key three times; Continuously long by the right button in five navigation key three times; Press numerical key " 1 " once; Press numerical key " 0 " once.But, eject the key set code that candidate symbol is tabulated, can not conflict mutually with the key set code definition of front " input of 5.2.2 punctuate " middle candidate of ejection punctuate tabulation.

[symbol selected] presses the four-way key, in the selected candidate symbol tabulation current page, a candidate symbol of corresponding position.After the symbol input was finished, the symbol tabulation was transformed to the Chinese character tabulation automatically.

[tabulation page turning] is for four kinds of ejection modes of above-mentioned symbol tabulation, no matter use any, after the symbol tabulation occurs, all can by continue to carry out once previous last key set code that uses (promptly long press key, long by right button, press 1 key, press 0 key) method, perhaps by pressing the method for center key, to the symbol tabulation page turn over operation that circulates, key of every execution carries out page turn over operation one time.

5.2.4 letter input

By front " input of 5.2.2 punctuate " or " input of 5.2.3 symbol " described method, after punctuate tabulation or symbol tabulation ejection, continue to press or length by numerical key 2-9, can realize the input of English alphabet.Be exactly specifically, at the button of the defined enough weak points of software in interval time, according to numerical key 2-9 is pressed or long by number of times, determining on the same numerical key some in pairing a plurality of letters; Simultaneously, " the pressing " or " long pressing " to numerical key 2-9 determining the current capital and small letter of wanting input alphabet.For instance, in defined button section interval time, for " 2/abc " key, if press twice continuously, then the letter of being imported is " b "; If press once and long by once, then the letter of being imported is " B "; If press continuously three times and long by once, then the letter of being imported is " A ".

5.2.5 numeral input

Length is pressed numerical key 0-9, imports corresponding digital respectively.This operates current candidate character list without any influence.

5.3 some technical characterictics

By two kinds of concrete schemes of top " 5.1 scheme one " and " 5.2 scheme two ",, carry out following more descriptions to technical characterictics more of the present invention.

The encode Chinese characters for computer reference standard when 5.3.1 coupling is with prefix matching fully

In the described in front scheme one, when " Chinese character that 4.4.2 mates fully is positioned at before the Chinese character of prefix matching according to foregoing." principle, when arranging the relative order between each candidate Chinese character, said " coupling fully " and " prefix matching " have specific implication sensing here.Be exactly specifically, in the process of the retrieval code of importing a Chinese character, if once imported one or more phonetic sign indicating numbers of this Chinese character, promptly once pressed one or more among the numerical key 2-9, so here, said " coupling fully " and " prefix matching " refer to the coupling aspect Pinyin coding; Otherwise they refer to the coupling aspect stroke coding.In a word, the codes match in this scheme, Pinyin coding is in top-priority position.

In the described in front scheme two, when " Chinese character that 4.4.2 mates fully is positioned at before the Chinese character of prefix matching according to foregoing." principle, when arranging the relative order between each candidate Chinese character, said " coupling fully " and " prefix matching " have specific implication sensing here.Be exactly specifically, in the process of the retrieval code of importing a Chinese character, if once imported one or more stroke codes of this Chinese character, promptly once longly pressed one or more among five navigation key, so here, said " coupling fully " and " prefix matching " refer to the coupling aspect stroke coding; Otherwise they refer to the coupling aspect Pinyin coding.In a word, the codes match in this scheme, stroke coding is in top-priority position.

5.3.2 candidate Chinese character tabulation automatically reseting when encode Chinese characters for computer is illegal

Also do not carry out under the condition of any button operation before the input of Chinese character, the candidate Chinese character residing state of tabulating is an original state.Under original state, the Chinese character in the candidate Chinese character tabulation constitutes all Chinese characters in the whole Chinese character base, and the current screen demonstration is four Chinese characters of candidate Chinese character tabulation homepage.The original state of candidate Chinese character tabulation is embodied in, do not carry out the state of any button operation though enter after the characters input method of the present invention or before just finishing the state that the input of a Chinese character do not carried out any other button operation or selected input, carried out at a Chinese character coding retrieval, tabulation page turn over operation back with clear key with the state after it removing and below the tabulation reset mode that after system is judged as code violation, carries out automatically of the encode Chinese characters for computer string of importing that will narrate.

In described in front no matter which kind of scheme, in the coding retrieving of Chinese character input, all Chinese characters in the current candidate Chinese character tabulation, all the time be according to the stroke coding string imported and Pinyin coding string and with the compute mode of logical, the result for retrieval that in whole Chinese character base, produces.But illegal when the stroke coding string of having imported, when being the Chinese character that does not exist in the code book as stroke coding or stroke coding prefix, the Pinyin coding string of perhaps having imported is illegal, when being the Chinese character that does not exist in the code book as Pinyin coding or Pinyin coding prefix, system will remove current all stroke codes imported and phonetic sign indicating number automatically, and make candidate Chinese character tabulation turn back to original state previous, when not importing any retrieval code.The original intention of this design proposal is to be convenient to stroke code and phonetic sign indicating number that the operator re-enters Chinese character.Certainly, when keying in vacant encode Chinese characters for computer (being stroke coding " perpendicular-perpendicular-perpendicular ", stroke coding " point-point-point ", Pinyin coding " 1 ", Pinyin coding " 0 ") for input punctuate, symbol, letter, be can not cause tabulating automatically reset, although they all are illegal encodes Chinese characters for computer.

5.3.3 the coding prompting during the Chinese character input

In the described in front scheme one, in the process of the retrieval code of importing a Chinese character, if once imported one or more phonetic sign indicating numbers of this Chinese character, promptly once pressed one or more among the numerical key 2-9, so behind selected this Chinese character of input, be used for the position of key input viewing area in screen Central Plains, demonstrate the complete stroke coding of this Chinese character.This is to consider, for a character input operation person based on stroke system, has used the phonetic mode provisionally, can be identified as him and constitute for the current stroke that will import Chinese character or the grasp of stroke order is had any problem, and is necessary to give a hand.For instance, desire input " word " word is had any problem because the operator understands the stroke identification of " Http " in this word, causes being deadlocked afterwards at its first stroke code " Dian " of input, shown in Fig. 5 A.Then by pressing numerical key, the Pinyin coding (9/wxyz-4/ghi) of input " word " word afterwards, by stroke code and the coefficient result of phonetic sign indicating number, " word " appears among the current page of candidate Chinese character tabulation, shown in Fig. 5 B, if it fails to occur certainly, can search it by the tabulation page turn over operation.In selected input " word " afterwards, just provide its complete stroke coding information " word: Dian Dian Ya Ya Shu one " in the screen, shown in Fig. 5 C.

In the described in front scheme two, in the process of the retrieval code of importing a Chinese character, if once imported one or more stroke codes of this Chinese character, promptly once longly pressed one or more among five navigation key, so behind selected this Chinese character of input, be used for the position of key input viewing area in screen Central Plains, demonstrate the complete Pinyin coding of this Chinese character.This is to consider, for a character input operation person based on phoneticizing type, has used the stroke mode provisionally, can be identified as him and have any problem for the grasp that the current phonetic alphabet that will import Chinese character constitute, and is necessary to give a hand.For instance, desire input "Yes" word because the operator is that " s " or " sh " resolution is unclear to the initial consonant in this word phonetic, causes being deadlocked afterwards at its first phonetic sign indicating number " 7/pqrs " of input, as shown in Figure 6A.By long five navigation key of pressing, import the stroke coding (Shu Ya one of "Yes" word then ...) afterwards, by stroke code and the coefficient result of phonetic sign indicating number, "Yes" appears among the current page of candidate Chinese character tabulation, shown in Fig. 6 B.Certainly for such high frequency word, also may not import its all stroke codes.After selected input "Yes", just provide its complete Pinyin coding information in the screen " be: 744 ", shown in Fig. 6 C.

5.3.4 the locating features of candidate Chinese character

In described in front no matter which kind of scheme, for each Chinese character in the current page of candidate Chinese character tabulation, its position arrangement, should follow following two principle:

After a Chinese character input is finished, the candidate Chinese character tabulation refreshes immediately, the follow-up associative Chinese character of four high frequency logotypes appears on the screen in its homepage, among these four follow-up associative Chinese characters, the display position of a Chinese character of chosen probability maximum should be with current to have imported the position of Chinese character when selected consistent.The original intention of this design is to reduce the position of operator's finger as far as possible and move.For instance, in Fig. 7 A, come across the current page of candidate Chinese character tabulation at the stroke code and making it of input " bone ", when selected input, the residing position of candidate " bone " be the four directions to " on " position, after the input of " bone " word is finished, suppose association word as " bone ", the follow-up word of its occurrence frequency maximum is " head " word, it is at the display position of candidate Chinese character original list so, and the position of forerunner's word " bone " when selecting input with respect to it should be consistent, promptly still be in the four directions to " on " position, shown in Fig. 7 B.

In the operating process of Chinese character index, along with the continuous input of encode Chinese characters for computer position, though the candidate Chinese character original list also constantly refresh, for the same candidate Chinese character that occurs continuously in the coding input process, the position that its display position occurs first with respect to it should remain unchanged.The original intention of this design is, reduce the character change in the discomfort that the operator visually causes as far as possible, alleviate the burden of man-machine interaction to a certain extent, otherwise, the frequent change of same candidate Chinese character on diverse location can increase the vision burden that the operator searches Chinese character.For instance, under state shown in Fig. 8 A, behind the input stroke code " Pie ", candidate " thousand ", " people ", " part " require to continue to keep because of meeting retrieval, and invariant position, shown in Fig. 8 B; After continuing input stroke code " Shu ", candidate " part " still meets retrieval and requires to continue to keep, and invariant position, shown in Fig. 8 C; After stroke code " Ya " was imported in continuation, candidate " part " required to disappear because of meeting to retrieve, candidate " " still meet retrieval requirement continuation reservation, and invariant position, shown in Fig. 8 D.

5.3.5 the characteristics of phoneticizing type Chinese character input

In described in front no matter which kind of scheme, when using the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character,, no matter import its any phonetic alphabet combination, all should be able to carry out the normal Chinese characters retrieval for the polyphone that has multiple phonetic alphabet combination.

In described in front no matter which kind of scheme, when using the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, because the utilization of phonetic sign indicating number is alphabetical pairing numeral, although can be in codes match with the automatic filtering of illegal pinyin combinations, but, still can bring the diversity or the ambiguousness of pinyin combinations inevitably by the polysemy of numeral to the letter representative.Therefore, umerical same Pinyin coding may be corresponding multiple pinyin combinations, all Chinese characters in the candidate Chinese character tabulation also may not be phonetically similar word (the phonetic alphabet combination are identical).For example, at input Pinyin coding " 2/abc-4/ghi " afterwards, its possible pinyin combinations has totally four kinds of " ai ", " bi ", " ch ", " ci ", so will have different word of coupling fully or the prefix matching words of pronunciation such as " love ", " ratio ", " looking into ", " this " in the candidate Chinese character tabulation.Phoneticizing type input method of Chinese character of the present invention is compared with traditional phoneticizing type input method of Chinese character, to ignore the step process of in a plurality of pinyin combinations, selecting a kind of pronunciation of the Chinese character that will import, and pairing all Chinese characters of these pinyin combinations are placed among the candidate Chinese character tabulation in the lump, and directly from these candidate Chinese characters, selected.

5.3.6 the validity of tabulation page turning rule realizes in the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character

In described in front no matter which kind of scheme, when using the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, under the situation that the Pinyin coding input finishes, can continue to press last coded number keyboard in the Pinyin coding, to candidate Chinese character tabulation carrying out page turning.This can run into a problem, input Pinyin be " a " (eh, Ah ,'s actinium ...) Chinese character the time, at first import its Pinyin coding " 2/abc ", when tabulating page turning, need continue to press the button " 2/abc " at letter " a " place, but like this can by system think by mistake be input Pinyin combination " ba " (eight,, stop ...) or " ca " (wipe, crash, coarse stone ...); Input Pinyin be " mo " (, do not rub, the end ...) Chinese character the time, this situation will take place once more, at first press button " 6/mno " twice, with difference input Pinyin letter " m " and " o ", after the tabulation page turning time, need continue to press the button " 6/mno " at letter " o " place, but two keys of this key during together with input Pinyin at first can be thought by mistake be at input Pinyin combination " nong " (agricultural, dense, purulence by system ...) in first three the letter " non ".Wrong identification for anti-locking system, simultaneously also under the constant condition of working rule, can to phonetic be " a " (eh, Ah ,'s actinium ...) and " mo " (, do not rub, the end ...) the Chinese character page turn over operation of tabulating normally, the solution that is provided is: in the code book of realization software of the present invention, for phonetic be " a " (eh, Ah ,'s actinium ...) Chinese character, its Pinyin coding is adjusted into " 22 " by " 2 "; For phonetic be " mo " (, do not rub, the end ...) Chinese character, its Pinyin coding is adjusted into " 666 " by " 66 ".They all are by repeatedly adding last bits of coded, prolong the length of Pinyin coding, system can be the tabulation page turn over operation that the operator thought like this, be used as the coding search operaqtion, because of satisfying search condition, these Chinese characters will continue to be retained among the current candidate Chinese character tabulation, and can not be eliminated.Therefore, this adjustment need not inform the operator, thereby guaranteed the universal validity of page turn over operation rule.These special Chinese characters of front are carried out feature be summarized as, their Pinyin coding is together with its last bits of coded, and is identical with other certain legal Pinyin coding or its prefix part in the Chinese character base.

5.3.7 the switching mode of two kinds of functional statuses of five navigation key

In described in front no matter which kind of scheme, mix under the input state at multi-method multiword symbol of the present invention, five navigation key are used to the input of Chinese-character stroke sign indicating number, and the page turning of Chinese character tabulation, punctuate tabulation, symbol tabulation and selected.This moves (four-way key) with its traditional cursor, option confirms that feature operations such as (center key) conflicts mutually.For this reason, when text editing was imported, it need carry out mutual state and switch between the character input function of newly giving and original conventional defined function, and this switching has multiple implementation method, is discussed below for example.

Method one: utilize one of them of soft key, " * " key, " # " key, and by press or long by key mode, directly two kinds of functional statuses with five navigation key switch mutually.

Under the character input state, if there is available soft key resource, can the function of five navigation key be switched between character input function and this two states of conventional defined function mutually by these idle soft keys are carried out by key definition so fully.Here said soft key in cell-phone, has two usually, is positioned at the top of keypad, defines its function under current operation status by software flexible, and gives brief description by the label literal of row at the bottom of the screen.Except using soft key, can also be by " * " key on the standard numeric keyboard, perhaps one of them of " # " key switched the function of five navigation key between character input function and this two states of conventional defined function mutually.

The requirement of this state switching mode must exist so idle button resources under the character input state, this in other words state switching mode need take other button resources.Therefore, in the conceptual design that this state switches, need to investigate in advance above-mentioned button and whether be used to other functional definition.

This state handover scheme, mode of operation is fairly simple, and this blocked operation can carry out under two states at any time.Whether the distinctive mark between the residing two kinds of functional statuses of five navigation key is, be presented on the screen as the candidate character list of character inputting interface.That is to say that under the situation that shows candidate character list on the screen, five navigation key can be used for the character input operation, otherwise can only carry out the feature operation of conventional definition.

For instance, use the method for pressing " * " key,, between character input state and conventional definition status, switch mutually the function of five navigation key.And the sign of whether existing as the current functional status of living in of five navigation key with candidate character list.Under state shown in Fig. 9 A, press " * " key, screen will be shown as state shown in Fig. 9 B; When pressing " * " key once more, screen display is a state shown in Fig. 9 A with switchback.Under state shown in Fig. 9 A, five navigation key can be carried out the feature operation of character input; And under state shown in Fig. 9 B, five navigation key can be carried out the feature operation of conventional definition, for example cursor can be moved to reposition by pressing the four-way key, shown in Fig. 9 C.

Method two: utilize one of them of soft key, " * " key, " # " key, and by press or long by key mode, between character input state of the present invention and other certain character input state, switch mutually, and under other certain character input state, carry out the feature operation of the routine definition of five navigation key.

Can set up a kind of hot key between character entry method state of the present invention and other certain character entry method state gets in touch, this hot key, can be one of them of soft key, " * " key, " # " key, by it, between other certain character entry method and character entry method of the present invention, carrying out mutually directly, state switches.

For example, when five navigation key are in character entry method state of the present invention, and need utilize the four-way key in the character text of input, to carry out up and down cursor move operation the time or utilize center key that the character text of input is finished when confirming operation, can pass through this hot key, earlier character entry method state of the present invention is switched to other certain character entry method state, and then carry out necessary operations.So this hot key switches the functional status that not only is used to change five navigation key, can also change the type or the method for character input provisionally.

No matter to this requirement of switching hot key be, be input method status of the present invention, or other certain input method status, and in their button operation process, this hot key must be not to be used to other functional definition.

The personal settings when 5.3.8 scheme is used

When concrete application of the present invention, owing to be difficult to precognition operator's Chinese character input habit, therefore can and be used among the same system front " 5.1 scheme one " and " 5.2 scheme two ", by the major-minor property preference of operator, therefrom select wherein a kind of scheme according to individual's stroke mode and phonetic mode when Chinese character is imported.

In addition, press operation for used in the present invention by the bond distance, its duration definition also needs to vary with each individual.Because define under the too small situation at duration numerical value, the operation of pressing that the operator identified oneself is long by operation by system identification easily; And under the excessive situation of duration numerical value definition, often need the operator that program is reacted impatient visual wait.Therefore, this duration numerical value can be defined voluntarily by the operator.

The personal settings of these two parameters can realize by the affirmation of correlation function menu option.

More than be to be detailed description to the specific embodiment of the invention.What need at last to remark additionally is:

4. mixing implementation method according to claim 1, it is characterized in that, in the coding retrieving of Chinese character input, when the stroke coding string of having imported is illegal, or the Pinyin coding string of having imported is when illegal, system will remove current all stroke codes imported and phonetic sign indicating number automatically, and make candidate Chinese character tabulation turn back to original state previous, when not importing any retrieval code.

5. mixing implementation method according to claim 1 is characterized in that, in the input process of a Chinese character, if once used complementary imputting Chinese characters, after this Chinese character input is finished, demonstrate its complete stroke coding or Pinyin coding on the screen so, two kinds of concrete conditions are:

---if use stroke is the imputting Chinese characters of assisting for main phonetic, and in Chinese character process of input, once as supplementary mode ground, imported at least one phonetic sign indicating number of this Chinese character by the method for pressing numerical key 2-9, so behind selected this Chinese character of input, be used for key in screen Central Plains and import the position of viewing area, provide the complete stroke coding of this Chinese character;

---if use phonetic to be depicted as auxilliary imputting Chinese characters as the chief editor, and in Chinese character process of input, once as supplementary mode ground, by long at least one the stroke code of having imported this Chinese character by the method for five navigation key, so behind selected this Chinese character of input, be used for key in screen Central Plains and import the position of viewing area, provide the complete Pinyin coding of this Chinese character.

6. mixing implementation method according to claim 1, it is characterized in that, after the input of individual Chinese character was finished, the display position of a follow-up associative Chinese character in the candidate Chinese character original list of chosen probability maximum was with current to have imported the position of Chinese character when selected consistent; In addition, when carrying out the encode Chinese characters for computer input, for the same candidate Chinese character that occurs continuously in the coding input process, its display position in the candidate Chinese character original list, the position that occurs first with respect to it remains unchanged.

7. mixing implementation method according to claim 1, it is characterized in that, in the input of phoneticizing type Chinese character, if the whole Pinyin coding of Chinese character is together with its last bits of coded, identical with other certain legal Pinyin coding or its prefix part in the Chinese character base, the actual Pinyin coding of these Chinese characters in the code book of realization software of the present invention should be on the basis of former Pinyin coding so, adds a bits of coded identical with original encoding end position again in its rearmost position.

8. mixing implementation method according to claim 1 is characterized in that, when text editing is imported, five navigation key both had been used for the character input operation, be used for conventional defining operation again, the state of two kinds of feature operations of it this switches, and uses one of them of following dual mode:

---utilize one of them of soft key, " * " key, " # " key, and by press or long by key mode, directly two kinds of functional statuses with five navigation key switch mutually, whether and the distinctive mark between the residing two kinds of functional statuses of five navigation key is, be presented on the screen as the candidate character list of character inputting interface of the present invention;

---utilize one of them of soft key, " * " key, " # " key, and by press or long by key mode, between character input state of the present invention and other certain character input state, switch mutually, and under other certain character input state, carry out the feature operation of the routine definition of five navigation key.

9. mixing implementation method according to claim 1, it is characterized in that, by the affirmation of correlation function menu option, personalized parameter setting is carried out in the major-minor property selection of stroke mode and phonetic mode and by the employed on time duration numerical value of bond distance when by the operator Chinese character being imported.
