Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram according to the method for the execution ideograph of the embodiment of the invention and phonography input.
Determining step S204 as shown in Figure 2, S214 and S215 can carry out in arithmetic logic unit 210.
Storage unit 103 is used for the required relevant information of storage unit operation, and it comprises: the handwriting information of written character, the reference information that character recognition is required, the apparatus and method information needed such as corresponding informance of phonography and ideograph.
Communication unit 104 is used for the message exchange between the management unit, because unit can be on same platform, perhaps on different physical platforms, so the content of communication unit management also comprises the message exchange between the correlation unit of each platform.
Each operating process of the method for execution ideograph of the present invention and phonography input is described below in conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
With reference to Fig. 2, at step S201, the user is by handwriting input unit 110 at least one writing words character script of input, the corresponding at least ideograph of this person's handwriting or at least one phonography.
At step S202, character recognition unit 220 is identified according to person's handwriting, provides the identification candidate word, and at step S203, will identify candidate word by display unit 120 and be shown as candidate characters.The character identifying method of using in step S202 comprises the method for utilizing feature database to identify, and other various character recognition algorithms.For example: the method for identifying with feature database, need the alphabetic character characteristic of correspondence data acquisition that storage can supply character recognition unit 220 to identify in storage unit 103 in advance, identifying is about to input person's handwriting and transfers characteristic to like this, compare with above-mentioned characteristic set of having stored, therefrom find the most similar characteristic, thereby find alphabetic character group corresponding to these data, so, this literal character group is identified candidate result exactly.Wherein, the characteristic comparison algorithm of use is not specific to be a certain algorithm, and this algorithm comprises the various similarity computational algorithms in the area of pattern recognition.
Identifying first-selected word refers to character recognition unit and provides the as a result alphabetic character group the most possible with the input character person's handwriting.The identification candidate result is comprised of more than one alphabetic character, and this is apparent for the relevant technical staff in the field.
At step S204, kind under arithmetic logic unit 210 is judged the identification candidate result, determination methods comprises according to the text type under the first-selected word of the identification in the identification candidate characters, perhaps according to the phonography in the recognition result and the shared scale of ideograph, the perhaps size of the similarity of phonography and ideograph in the recognition result, and other any can the Division identification result under the method for kind.According to kind under the recognition result, carry out next step processing.Belong to ideograph if identify first-selected word, to judge that according to the first-selected word of identification the kind of identification candidate result is as example, identify candidate result and namely belong to ideograph this moment, execution in step S208 so, then the first-selected word of Identification display in the input characters viewing area is carried out S209 and is judged whether the user is selecting any literal from the identification candidate word.If do not select, think that then the literal that shows is required literal in the input characters viewing area, input characters is identified, and carries out S216, if the text input is finished, so whole text input process finishes; If remain unfulfilled, the user will input new literal, returns so step S201, restarts to carry out the input of fresh character.
The method of kind mostly is to decide kind under the identification candidate result according to kind under the first-selected word of identification under the judgement used in the example of the description of the invention identification candidate result.For example: belong to phonography if identify first-selected word, this identification candidate result belongs to phonography so.Also comprise other determination methods in the method for the present invention's description, if adopt other determination methods, the first-selected word of the identification of this moment refers to satisfy and judges the affiliated kind of recognition result that obtains so, and comes the top alphabetic character of sets of candidate characters.For example: the determination methods that system uses according to reality judges that the identification candidate result belongs to ideograph, at this moment, identifying first-selected literal is in the ideograph that comprises in the identification sets of candidate characters, come top ideograph, i.e. the ideograph the most similar to the handwriting character in the recognition result.
Among the present invention, judge that the method for kind be the most basic method of this technical field under the alphabetic character, comprise according to zone bit and judging, and judge etc. the method for various differentiation kinds of characters according to the affiliated scope of alphabetic character coding.
Expect input character " roc " as example take the user, as shown in Figure 3, when write by input block 110 input Chinese character "
Figure S200710187855XD00081
" time, in input person's handwriting viewing area 301, show corresponding handwriting input person's handwriting.Execution in step S201, S202 and S203 obtain identifying candidate result " roc, arm; splash, glue, waist ... " successively, the 303 interior demonstrations in the recognition result viewing area, symbol " ▲ " 305 expressions also have other candidate words, and symbol " ▲ " can be replaced by other similar symbol.In step S204, judge that the first-selected result of identification is ideographic character, that is, belong to ideograph.Then at step S208 input characters viewing area 302 delivered in the first-selected word " roc " in the recognition result.Reach user's expectation input this moment, therefore, the user no longer carries out other selection from sets of candidate characters, and therefore, input characters is identified, and carries out S216, confirms to finish an ideograph input.
If the judged result in step S209 needs execution in step S210 so for the user has selected any literal again from the identification candidate characters, judge the affiliated kind of selected literal.If belong to ideograph, return so execution in step S208, the upper unacknowledged literal in the input characters viewing area 302 replaced in the literal of user selection, and show.
For example, with reference to top example, successively execution in step S201, S202 and S203, obtain identifying candidate result " arm, roc are splashed; glue; waist ... ", the 303 interior demonstrations in the recognition result viewing area, namely the first-selected result of identification is " arm ", " arm " delivers to input characters viewing area 302 as first-selected word at this moment, rather than " roc " in user's sets of candidate characters of expecting to input, then the user is in step S209, and the user selects character " roc " from sets of candidate characters.Then in step S210, judge the affiliated kind of literal of user selection.Judge to belong to ideograph, therefore return step S208, and in the input characters viewing area 302 interior demonstration selected words " roc ".Because this word is expected the character inputted for the user, therefore, execution in step S216, the input of an ideograph is finished in affirmation.
If the judged result in step S210 is selected alphabetic character is the watch sound character, belong to phonography, so execution in step S217.Wherein, step S217 comprises step S211, S212 and S213.In step S211, the upper unacknowledged literal in the input characters viewing area 302 replaced in the selected phonography of 302 interior demonstrations in the input characters viewing area; In step S212, ideograph corresponding to the ideograph viewing area selected phonography of 304 interior demonstrations; In step S213, tone viewing area 401 shows tone and its other tone of supporting that selected phonography is current.According to the size of screen, tone viewing area 401 and input characters viewing area 302, recognition result viewing area 303 and ideographic character viewing area 304 can be simultaneously displayed on the same screen, perhaps the operation according to the user is presented on next function screen.Ideograph viewing area 304 shows is several ideographs corresponding with top selected phonography, its rule of following that puts in order when showing is to obtain according to the tone of input and the relation between the context, context relation can be set by a lot of common methods, for example: word frequency information, word is information frequently, meaning of one's words statistical study etc., and along with the content of user's input is constantly adjusted.The corresponding relation of phonography and ideograph is stored in the storage unit 103.
Tone viewing area 401 is for the tone set of the support that shows selected phonography, and highlight current tone, at step S212, the ideograph that ideograph viewing area 304 shows just must meet the restriction of this tone, the phonography that shows when execution in step S211 can add that this tone shows, can not show that also tone is in input characters viewing area 302.If do not write or select certain tone when handwriting input, can give tacit consent to so some tones is current tone, also can not highlight, and at this moment, 304 ideographs that show just are not subjected to the restriction of tone in the ideograph viewing area.
The execution sequence of the step S211 that comprises among the step S217, S212 and S213 can exchange.After these steps were finished, execution in step S214 judged whether the user has carried out other and selected, thus the literal of judging the at present input required literal of user whether.If the user does not select from recognition result viewing area 303 or ideographic character viewing area 304, think that then the literal in the 302 interior demonstrations of input characters viewing area is required literal, input characters is identified, execution in step S216.
Expect to input the Chinese phonetic alphabet " ni " with the user, belong to phonography, be example, the user by handwriting input unit 110 write "
Figure S200710187855XD00091
"; because hand-written distortion is larger, character recognition unit 220 provides the identification candidate result and is: " hi, ni, ri, ... ", corresponding step S201, S202 and S203 are finished; follow execution in step S204; because the first-selected result of identification is " hi ", belong to ideograph, then execution in step S208.At this moment, execution in step S209, that the user selects desired input from the identification candidate result is " ni ", S210 judges that obtaining " ni " belongs to phonography, then execution in step S217.Wherein, in step S211, the 302 interior selected literal " ni " that shown have satisfied user's expectation in the input characters viewing area, and the user need not again to select, and behind the execution in step S214, judge that drawing input characters is identified, thereby have finished the input of " ni ".
If at step S214, the user continues to have selected other literal or tone, and execution in step S215 judges whether the user has selected tone so.If the user does not select tone, namely selected other literal, execution in step S210 continues to judge and carry out so; If selected tone, because the difference of tone is equal to selected phonography variation has occured, execution in step S217 continues to carry out and judge so.
With reference to top example, that supposes that the user expects to input is " drowning " word, and the user forgets how to write, and wants to input by the mode of inputting phonography " ni ", then described with top example, the user by handwriting input unit 110 write "
Figure S200710187855XD00092
", when carrying out step S217 successively, wherein, in step S212; the 304 interior demonstrations ideograph corresponding with " ni " in the ideograph viewing area: " you, the Buddhist nun, mud, contrary, intend ... ", S213 is at the tone of its support of tone viewing area: "-' ˇ ` ", and focus on display current tone.Because the user do not write entering tone when handwriting input, thereby current tone do not exist, and need not focus on display, and simultaneously, do not have softly tone " ", and then " " can not show, if for the simple and unitarity of interface, can keep.Because " drowning " is falling tone, be that tone is " ` ", the user continues to select tone, execution in step S214 and S215, this moment, then again according to user's selection execution in step S217, this moment, phonography became " n ì ", thereby unacknowledged phonography " ni " is updated to " n ì " in the execution in step S211 input characters viewing area, execution in step S212, its corresponding ideograph is updated to: and " mud, contrary, greasy; as to drown ... ", the user just can select " drowning ", execution in step S214 successively, S215, S210, thus S208 and S209 input characters " are drowned " and are identified.
The above has described the situation that first-selected word in the input recognition result belongs to ideograph, and the situation that word selection headed by the judged result in step S204 belongs to phonography is described below.Be judged as when belonging to phonography, execution in step S218, this step comprises step S205, S206 and S207.Wherein, at step S205, ideograph corresponding to the input characters viewing area first-selected phonography of 302 interior demonstrations, perhaps first-selected phonography; At step S206, ideograph corresponding to the ideograph viewing area first-selected phonography of 304 interior demonstrations; At step S207, the tone that the tone viewing area first-selected phonography of 401 demonstrations is current and other tone of support.These three steps are similar with S213 to step S211, S212 among the S217.Difference is, is the processing to first-selected phonography in step S218, and step S217 is or not that the user expects in the situation of the literal inputted the processing the when literal that the user selects belongs to phonography in sets of candidate characters at first-selected ideograph.In addition, step S207 can be used as option, namely can not carry out the demonstration of tone herein.The execution sequence of the step S205 that comprises among the step S218, S206 and S207 can exchange, and after execution in step S218 was complete, then execution in step S214 continued to judge and carries out.
In the method that the present invention describes, the meaning of "or" is one of them among step S208 and the S205, that is, phonography and ideograph corresponding to this phonography can not be simultaneously displayed in the input characters viewing area 302.
Character recognition unit 220 comprises the identification of tonal phonography and the not identification of tonal phonography among the present invention.In method provided by the invention, during the user selection tone, except adopting common button or clicking the method for corresponding tone, a kind of method of handwriting input tone also is provided, the method is the required tone person's handwriting of handwriting input in specific zone, and which kind of tone character recognition unit can identify and be confirmed to be.The method and common button or use with by the method that touch-screen is clicked corresponding tone also can independently use.In the method described in the invention, step S215 selects tone, refers to the method for any change tone, comprises the method for selection tone described above.
When the method that the present invention describes is used for single ideograph input pattern, phonography among step S208, S205 and the S211 need to be shown and remove, namely only show corresponding ideograph.
The method that the present invention describes is used for single phonography input pattern, identification and the demonstration to ideograph among step S202 and the S203 need to be removed, and only supports identification and the demonstration of phonography.In addition, do not consider the corresponding relation of phonography and ideograph, under this pattern, think that there is not corresponding ideograph in all phonographys, so the judged result of execution in step S204 and S210 must be ideograph.
The method that the present invention describes is particularly useful for ideograph and phonography mixes the pattern of inputting.
