At first, the kanji code of Chinese is classified according to the pronunciation of each character, and be stored in the memory 32 that this routine mobile telephone terminal has.Here, the pronunciation of noticing each Chinese character is by the pronunciation key element of the consonant of the language head that is called initial consonant part and is called the constituting of pronunciation key element of the part that comprises vowel of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, so the pronunciation according to initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable will usually be classified, will classify and store for first stroke according to its order of strokes observed in calligraphy with the Chinese character that the pronunciation of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable will usually be classified again.
That is, constitute the initial consonant of the Chinese character pronunciation of Chinese, shown in the mark (phonetic) of the Latin alphabetization in the initial consonant hurdle of following [table 1], can be categorized as 21 pronunciations basically.In addition, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable can be categorized as 35 pronunciations shown in the mark (phonetic) of the Latin alphabetization in the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable hurdle of [table 1].
[table 1]
The content of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable
Here, in the case of this example, for each initial consonant in 21 initial consonants, all in memory 32 storage can with the information of the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of this initial consonant combination.Following [table 2] promptly illustrates the one example.
[table 2]
The example of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable
| Initial consonant | Simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable |
| f | a an ang ei en eng o ou u |
| j | i ia ian iang iao ie in ing iongiu u uan ue un |
| r | an ang ao e en eng i ong ou u uan ui un uo |
| W | a ai an ang ei en eng o u |
| y | a an ang ao e i in ing o ong ou u uan ue un |
For example, can be 9 shown in [table 2] with the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of initial consonant [f] combination, can be 14 shown in [table 2] with the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of initial consonant [j] combination.In addition, when determining pronunciation with the combination of such initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, the number of the Chinese character corresponding with this pronunciation of determining has approximately several to tens usually.Here, the information stores of the Chinese character of determining with the combination of each initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable is in memory 32.
In addition, in this example, the Chinese character that will limit with the combination of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable by the initial stroke of each order of strokes observed in calligraphy, be that the order of strokes observed in calligraphy is classified for first stroke, store memory 32 into.That is, the first stroke representational stroke of writing has " one ", " Shu ", " Pie ", " Dian ", " " these 5.Here, the stroke of writing according to the first stroke under the situation of handwritten Chinese character is which stroke in these 5 strokes, and the Chinese character that will limit with the combination of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable is classified, and stores memory 32 into.
Specifically, for example, according to certain dictionary, the Chinese character that pronounces for " chang " has 31 characters, and classifies for first stroke according to the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, and is then as follows.
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 8 characters of character of " " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 6 characters of character of " 1 " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 9 characters of character of " Pie " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 8 characters of character of " Dian " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 0 character of character of " " for first stroke
In addition, look into certain dictionary, the Chinese character that pronounces for " ji " has 121 characters, and classifies for first stroke according to the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, and is then as follows.
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 41 characters of character of " " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 14 characters of character of " Shu " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 35 characters of character of " Pie " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 20 characters of character of " Dian " for first stroke
The order of strokes observed in calligraphy is 11 characters of character of " " for first stroke
Use and to classify like this and be stored in information in the memory 32, central control unit 31 uses the processing shown in the flow chart of Fig. 3, carries out the character input and handles.When the input of this character was handled, the display position that central control unit 31 is handled usefulness with second display line 42 of display unit 40 as input used, while user's input operation is to see demonstration on this display line 42, carry out the character input operation.In addition, the display position that first display line 41 of display unit 40 is used as the definite character string of input uses, and in following processing, the character of importing is presented on this display line 41 character by character, forms name and character information etc.Fig. 5 illustrates the variation example of the demonstration on the display line 41,42.
Below, the processing of the flow chart of key diagram 3, at first, central control unit 31 judges whether it is the pattern (step 101) of carrying out the character input.Here, under the situation of character input mode, on display unit 40, show the mark (step 102) of initial consonant pronunciation successively.The A of Fig. 5 represents the demonstration example of this moment, for example on second display line 42, shows initial consonant with predetermined order.Then, an initial consonant in the initial consonant that is shown being identified, is selecteed initial consonant to represent it.For example, in the A of Fig. 5 example, on the initial consonant that the left end of display line 42 shows, the sign of adding underscore, selected to represent this initial consonant.
Showing under the state of this initial consonant, carry out user's rotary manipulation rotating operation unit 34 of character input operation, so that make the additional underscore of initial consonant of wanting the character imported.In central control unit 31, judge whether the rotary manipulation (step 103) of this rotating operation unit 34.Having under the situation of rotary manipulation, judging direction (last direction a shown in Figure 2 or following direction b) and rotation amount thereof that this rotary manipulation carries out, changing the show state (step 104) of initial consonant according to its rotation status.Specifically, for example with rotating operation unit 34 during along last direction rotary manipulation, make initial consonant on the display line 42 show to roll to the left and change, and with rotating operation unit 34 during, make initial consonant on the display line 42 show to roll to the right and change along direction rotary manipulation down.The fixed-site of additional underscore is at left end, and selecteed initial consonant changes according to the rotary manipulation of rotating operation unit 34.
Here, the user who carries out the character input operation is seeing the demonstration on the display unit 40, becomes the additional state that underscore is arranged in case want the initial consonant of the character imported, and then the pressing operation rotating operation unit 34.Central control unit 31 has judged whether this pressing operation (step 105), have in judgement under the situation of pressing operation, the initial consonant of additional underscore is defined as selecteed initial consonant with this moment, carries out handling (step 106) with the demonstration of the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of this initial consonant of determining combination.
This moment display unit 40 display line 42 on demonstration, shown in the B of Fig. 5, the initial consonant of determining is presented at the left end of display line 42, simultaneously, the position of additional underscore is moved to the tight right side of this initial consonant of determining.Then, at once can with the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of this initial consonant of determining combination, shown in the C of Fig. 5, be presented at the right side of definite initial consonant successively.Therefore, in fact do not have the state shown in the B of displayed map 5, but after in the initial consonant show state shown in the A of Fig. 5, carrying out selection operation, directly transfer to the demonstration of the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable shown in the C of Fig. 5.
Showing under the state of this simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, carry out user's rotary manipulation rotating operation unit 34 of character input operation, so that make the additional underscore of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of wanting the character imported.In central control unit 31, judge whether the rotary manipulation (step 107) of this rotating operation unit 34.Having under the situation of rotary manipulation, judging direction (last direction a shown in Figure 2 or following direction b) and rotation amount thereof that this rotary manipulation carries out, changing the show state (step 108) of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable according to this judgement state.Specifically, for example with rotating operation unit 34 during along last direction rotary manipulation, make simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable on the display line 42 show to roll to the left and change, and with rotating operation unit 34 during, make simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable on the display line 42 show to roll to the right and change along direction rotary manipulation down.Just, the demonstration of the initial consonant of determining of left end immobilizes.Additional underscore is to represent that its selecteed position is the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable that shows on the next door of the initial consonant of left end, and selecteed simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable changes according to the rotary manipulation of rotating operation unit 34.
Here, the user who carries out the character input operation is seeing the demonstration on the display unit 40, becomes the additional state that underscore is arranged in case want the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of the character imported, and then the pressing operation rotating operation unit 34.Central control unit 31 has judged whether this pressing operation (step 109), is being judged as under the situation of pressing operation, and the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of additional underscore is defined as selecteed simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable with this moment.Then, central control unit 31 is with the Chinese character of initial consonant of determining in the step 105 and the common pronunciation of determining here that limits of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, from the stored information of memory 32, read, with this Chinese character of reading, according to predetermined order, be presented at successively on the display line 42 of display unit 40 (step 110).
Under the state of the Chinese character that shows so specific pronunciation successively, the user who carries out the character input operation when carrying out selecting based on the character of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, pressing operation rotating operation unit 34.Central control unit 31 has judged whether this pressing operation (step 111), has in judgement under the situation of pressing operation, transfers to the display mode (step 112) of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy.The display mode that this order of strokes observed in calligraphy is first stroke is with aftermentioned.
Then, in step 111, do not have pressing operation, do not become under the situation of display mode of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, under the state of the Chinese character (being the alternative character) that still shows the pronunciation that limits with initial consonant of determining and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable successively, carry out user's rotary manipulation rotating operation unit 34 of character input operation, want the additional underscore of the character of importing so that make.In central control unit 31, judge whether the rotary manipulation (step 113) of this rotating operation unit 34.Having under the situation of rotary manipulation, judging direction (last direction a shown in Figure 2 or following direction b) and rotation amount thereof that this rotary manipulation carries out, changing the show state (step 114) of Chinese character according to this judgement state.Specifically, for example with rotating operation unit 34 during along the rotation of last direction, make the variation of rolling to the left of Chinese character display column on the display line 42, and with rotating operation unit 34 during, make the variation of rolling to the right of the display column of the Chinese character on the display line 42 along direction rotary manipulation down.
Here, the user who carries out the character input operation is seeing the demonstration on the display unit 40, becomes the state of additional underscore in case want the character of importing, and then the pressing operation rotating operation unit 34.Central control unit 31 has judged whether this pressing operation (step 115).Also can make pressing operation and the pressing operation in the step 111 in this step 115 is can enough operations of distinguishing someway.For example, making pressing operation in the step 111 is to press operation under the situation of rotating operation unit 34 with the relatively shorter time, is the operation of pressing more longways like this more than 1 second under the situation of rotating operation unit 34 and make pressing operation in the step 115.
Then, have in being judged as step 115 under the situation of pressing operation, the Chinese character of additional underscore is defined as selected input Chinese character (step 116) with this moment.Here, be the selection of first character, thus show the character of determining at the left end of display line 41, and when carrying out the later input operation of second character, the end of the definite character string that shows on this display line 41 shows the character of determining.
Then, central control unit 31 judges whether to carry out the operation (step 117) of termination character input.Operation that the operation of this termination character input can be by the particular key in the operation keyboard 33 or the specific operation by rotating operation unit 34 (for example twice continuous pressing operation etc.) wait and carry out.
Here, under the situation of the operation of not carrying out the termination character input, return step 102, carry out the input operation of character late with same processing.
Then, when in step 117, being judged as the operation of carrying out the termination character input, central control unit 31 will carry out input operation and be presented at character string on first display line 41, handle (step 118) as the information corresponding with the operator scheme of this moment.For example, when the pattern of name of logining with telephone number as the electronic telephone book, with character input and title, the character of input is stored in the memory 32 as this Name or Designation.In addition, when sending to any the other side's pattern as character information, with the input character as the character information information stores in memory 32, when carrying out the transmit operation of character information, from memory 32, read the character information information of this storage, and send to the other side with wireless telephone line.
Below, the processing under the situation of the display mode of transferring to first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy in the step 112 of flow chart shown in Figure 3 is described with reference to the flow chart of Fig. 4.
When becoming the display mode of first stroke of this order of strokes observed in calligraphy, be the state of having selected the pronunciation that limits with initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, as showing example, be that the step that finishes selected in the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable shown in the D of Fig. 5.
After becoming first stroke of display mode of this order of strokes observed in calligraphy, central control unit 31 shows successively as first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy and the processing of a plurality of strokes (step 201) of existing.For example, shown in the E of Fig. 5, on display line 42, show representational stroke " ", " Shu ", " Pie ", " Dian ", " " these 5 strokes that the first stroke is write side by side.At this moment, additional underscore shows on any stroke, and the stroke of representing this additional underscore is the stroke of selecting.
Under this state, the user who carries out the character input operation is writing the additional underscore of stroke that the first stroke is write under the situation of wanting the character imported, rotary manipulation rotating operation unit 34 in order to make.In central control unit 31, judge whether the rotary manipulation (step 202) of this rotating operation unit 34.Having under the situation of rotary manipulation, judging direction (last direction a shown in Figure 2 or following direction b) and rotation amount thereof that this rotary manipulation carries out, changing the stroke (step 203) of additional underscore according to this judgement state.
Then, become added the state of underscore on the stroke that the first stroke writes after, the user's pressing operation rotating operation unit 34 that carries out the character input operation.Central control unit 31 has judged whether this pressing operation (step 204), be judged as under the situation of pressing operation, the stroke of show in the Chinese character of the pronunciation that limits with the processing before the step 112 on display line 42, adding underscore this moment is the Chinese character (step 205) of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy.At this moment, for example on the Chinese character of left end, add underscore.
Under this state, carry out user's rotary manipulation rotating operation unit 34 of character input operation, want the additional underscore of the character of importing so that make.In central control unit 31, judge whether the rotary manipulation (step 206) of this rotating operation unit 34.Having under the situation of rotary manipulation, judging direction (last direction a shown in Figure 2 or following direction b) and rotation amount thereof that this rotary manipulation carries out, changing the show state (step 207) of Chinese character according to this judgement state.Specifically, for example with rotating operation unit 34 during along the rotation of last direction, make the variation of rolling to the left of Chinese character display column on the display line 42, and with rotating operation unit 34 during, make the variation of rolling to the right of the display column of the Chinese character on the display line 42 along direction rotary manipulation down.
Here, the user who carries out the character input operation is seeing the demonstration on the display unit 40, becomes the state of additional underscore in case want the character of importing, and then the pressing operation rotating operation unit 34.Central control unit 31 has judged whether this pressing operation (step 208).Be judged as at this moment under the situation of pressing operation, the Chinese character of additional underscore is defined as selected input Chinese character (step 209) with this moment.Here, be the selection of first character, so show the character of determining at the left end of display line 41, still, when carrying out the later input operation of second character, the end of the definite character string that shows on this display line 41 shows the character of determining.Definite processing of the input character in definite processing of the input character of this step 209 and the step 116 of the flow chart of Fig. 3 is identical, after having carried out the processing of step 209, transfer to the step 117 of the flow chart of Fig. 3, carry out the end process of the input processing or the character input of character late.
Handle by the Chinese character input of carrying out Chinese like this, can enough shirtsleeve operations from a plurality of Chinese characters, select required character to import.Promptly, the pronunciation that constitutes each Chinese character is divided into initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, after the selection of carrying out initial consonant, the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable that selection can be made up with the initial consonant of this selection, and the Chinese character of the pronunciation that the initial consonant selected and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable are limited shows as the alternative character, thereby can enough shirtsleeve operations select required Chinese character to import efficiently.
In addition, in the case of this example, by the selection of initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable after selecting the alternative character, carry out the selection of the stroke of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, show with the alternative character that pronounces and the combination of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy is indicated, so can further reduce the alternative character of demonstration, can enough shirtsleeve operations promptly explicit user want the Chinese character imported.
For example, according to certain dictionary, the Chinese character that pronounces for " chang " has 31 characters, and classify for first stroke according to the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, then maximum has 9 characters, only need carry out the operation of the required character of search from these 9 characters, promptly can promptly search for required Chinese character and be defined as input character.
And, operating unit required during this input operation only need comprise 3 operating units: to the operating unit of side rolling, with operating unit and definite operating unit that shows that display position rolls to the direction opposite with it, this will be very suitable for being applied in the such compact electronic device of mobile telephone terminal with display position.Particularly in the case of this example, as operating unit, use rotating operation unit 34 shown in Figure 2, carry out 3 operations: promptly rotating operation unit 34 upward to rotary manipulation and the rotary manipulation of downward direction, to the pressing operation of the direction operation different with this rotary manipulation, above-mentioned 3 operating procedures can be carried out, required Chinese character input can be promptly carried out by the operation of an operating unit.
When carrying out the Chinese character input, when on display unit, showing initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, can show initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable according to predefined procedure usually, but initial consonant and the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable that also can for example be selected last time are presented on the chosen position preferentially.In addition, after pronunciation determined in initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, when the Chinese character of show candidate, also the Chinese character that can be selected last time preferentially was presented on the chosen position.In addition, the operator scheme of terminal in the time of also can importing, the DISPLAY ORDER of variation candidate Chinese character according to Chinese character.For example, when the pattern of Chinese character is logined in input as the electronic telephone book, will preferentially be presented on the display unit by high Chinese character as the frequency that name uses.
In addition, under the situation of carrying out 2 characters inputs more than the character, also can be when carrying out the 2nd later character input, preferentially show and imported the character that definite character combination is used.For example, the input of the 1st character " day ", the 2nd character input " peace " thus when 2 characters determining are " pacify in the sky ", when a character " door " that is used in combination with " day peace " is arranged in the candidate character string of the pronunciation of the 3rd selection, override shows this character " door ", simply input character " Tian An-men ".
In addition, in above-mentioned example, under the state that defines the searching object character, carry out the input operation of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy, but also can after first stroke of the initial appointment order of strokes observed in calligraphy, select the operation of the pronunciation of searching object character.
In addition, also can use above-mentioned rotary-type operating unit operating unit in addition to carry out same Chinese character input.For example, in example shown in Figure 2, operating unit has discoid parts, these parts can freely rotate in 360 degree scopes, but, also can dispose the parts that can only in the above and below of certain position predetermined angular (for example tens degree) scope, rotate, with these parts upward with below when rotating, can carry out and identical operations during rotating operation unit 34 up and down.In addition, also can be unlike operating unit 34, operating unit is rotated up and down or rotate, but adopt a kind of operating unit, can carry out same operation indication with the operation of transverse direction (that is, the operation of direction left and to the operation of right).In addition, the position that the operating unit of this operation is carried out in configuration also is not limited to above-mentioned example, can be configured on the optional position of the framework that constitutes terminal.
In addition, the selection operation of stroke when becoming first stroke of display mode of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy when Chinese character is imported, first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy also can not use above-mentioned rotating operation unit, but each stroke of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy is distributed to any 5 keys in the operation keyboard 33, the user selects the stroke of first stroke of the order of strokes observed in calligraphy by the operation of some keys of this distribution.
In addition, as the demonstration of carrying out on Chinese character when input display unit, in above-mentioned example, as shown in Figure 5, be that additional underscore shows on the character that will select, still, also can represent that this part is selected with other display mode.For example, can represent that this part is selected, will show that maybe look anti-apparent, represent that this part is selected demonstrations of glimmering of the part of initial consonant that show to select, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, character, stroke etc.
In addition, also can indicate two operations and definite operations that will show with different operating units respectively to a side and the opposing party's rolling.Fig. 6 illustrate in this case mobile telephone terminal 10 ' an example, here, can constitute terminal 10 ' the side of framework, configuration is indicated the operation keys 35 that rolls to a side and is indicated the operation keys 36 that rolls to the opposing party up and down, simultaneously, between two keys 35,36, the operation keys 37 of operation is determined in configuration.Equally, under the situation of this structure, for example control 10 ' time of this mobile telephone terminal with left hand, only need the small action of the thumb of its left hand, can carry out Xiang Yifang and the opposing party's rolling operation and determine operation, can carry out the input operation of Chinese character with good operability.
