Fig. 2 illustrates the process flow diagram of symbol input method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.Now, with reference to Fig. 2 the process flow diagram of symbol input method is according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention described.
At first, in step 211,, symbol and letter key are shone upon, and form the mapping table of mapping relations as shown in table 1 according to the Chinese phonetic alphabet pronunciation of symbol.In step 212,,, show and letter key input corresponding symbol according to the mapping relations in the mapping table as user during according to Chinese phonetic alphabet input alphabet key.At last, in step 213, select symbols displayed, to import this symbol.
In addition, the present invention also can be implemented as, a kind of symbol input media, the described symbol input media symbol input method shown in can execution graph 2.
Described symbol input media can comprise: display, key input unit, storer and controller.More than each parts can be separated from each other, also can be integrated into one.Wherein, key input unit comprises the letter key that is used for input alphabet, and the user can carry out the letter key input by key input unit.Storer is used to store according to the Chinese phonetic alphabet and symbol and letter key is shone upon and the mapping table that obtains.Display is used to show literal and symbol by the key input unit input.Controller, be used for when carrying out the letter key input by key input unit according to the pronunciation of the Chinese phonetic alphabet, according to the described mapping table that is stored in the storer, be controlled at and show on the display and described letter key input corresponding symbol, with according to by the selection of key input unit to described symbol, be controlled at and show on the display and import this symbol.
Now, describe the symbol input method of another exemplary embodiment in detail according to the present invention in conjunction with above-mentioned symbol input media with reference to Fig. 3.Fig. 3 is the detail flowchart that the symbol input method of another exemplary embodiment according to the present invention is shown.This exemplary embodiment is as exemplary mapping ruler, based on the depicted example of T9 spelling input method with the Chinese phonetic alphabet.It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention also can use other pronunciation characteristics as mapping ruler.
At first, in step 101, traversal T9 character library is according to the Chinese phonetic alphabet, with symbol and literal hybrid classification.Subsequently, in step 102, generate the mapping table of symbol and Chinese phonetic alphabet according to above-mentioned table 1, and described mapping table is stored in the storer of described symbol input media.
When switching to the T9 spelling input method by key input unit step 103 user, and when step 104 input Chinese phonetic alphabet, retrieve and input Chinese phonetic alphabet corresponding symbol according to described mapping table at step 107 controller, and in step 105 retrieval and the Chinese phonetic alphabet corresponding character of importing.
After step 105, in step 106, controller calculates the quantity n of alternative literal according to the literal that retrieves, and n is a natural number.After step 107, in step 108, controller judges whether the Chinese phonetic alphabet of input is unique corresponding with a symbol.If determine the letter and a symbol corresponding uniquely (that is, the "Yes" of step 108) of input, then determine that at step 110 controller corresponding symbol quantity is 1.If controller is determined the letter corresponding with a plurality of symbols (that is, the "No" of step 108) of input, then determine corresponding symbol quantity m in step 109, wherein, m is an integer, and m 〉=2.
Subsequently, in step 111, the quantity of the alternate item of determining according to step 106 and step 109 or step 106 and step 110, controller is set up the alternate item formation according to what determine with described quantity with the alphabetical corresponding symbol of importing, on display, show the alternate item formation of setting up, and sequentially alternate item is numbered so that select.For example, when the alphabetical unique corresponding symbol that defines and import in step 108, the alternate item quantity of alternate item formation is n+1, and when defining m in step 108 during with the alphabetical corresponding symbol imported, the alternate item quantity of alternate item formation is n+m.
In addition, as the letter of a unique symbol and input at once, can the ad-hoc location of alternate item formation first trip (such as, row is first, end of line or row central authorities) show this symbol.When exist m symbol corresponding to the input alphabetical the time, can be according to frequency of utilization (described frequency of utilization can draw according to daily input statistics) or default priority, the ad-hoc location that m is capable before alternative formation shows corresponding symbol, and every row only shows a symbol, wherein, unit symbol takies an alternate item and shows the position, and the dibit symbol takies two alternate items and shows the position.For instance, with reference to table 1, when input alphabet is " kuo ", when this monogram correspondence " () ", " { } " and " [] " three symbols, promptly two at the ad-hoc location of the first trip of alternate item formation show that the position shows " () ", show that two of ad-hoc location of second row of alternate item formation the position shows " { } " and shows that two of the ad-hoc location of the third line of alternate item formation the position shows " [] ".
In step 112, controller determines whether the user shows literal or the symbol of having selected expectation the formation from alternate item.Selected the literal or the symbol of expectation if determine the user, then in step 113, controller control empties the alternate item formation, enters input next time, returns step 103.If determine non-selected any literal of user or symbol, then controller control enters step 114 user and continues input alphabet, and returns step 105 and step 107 subsequently, proceeds the retrieval of literal and symbol.
Above method can also adopt Korean consonant vowel or Japanese ideogram to carry out the mapping of symbol and letter key as mapping ruler, can also be applied to other input methods simultaneously.
Below, will be that example illustrates according to symbol input method of the present invention with T9 spelling input method on mobile communication terminal in conjunction with Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B in conjunction with keypad (as shown in Figure 1).
Fig. 4 A illustrates the operation chart of importing according to initial consonant difference carrying out symbol according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
At first, under the situation that switches to the T9 spelling input method, shown in step a among Fig. 4 A, under the Chinese pinyin input method, import initial consonant " W ".According to table 1, initial consonant " W " with question mark "? " be unique mapping relations, therefore, subsequently as shown in the step b, show at the capable end of alternative word menu question mark "? ", shown in step c, number incoming symbol at last by the input alternative characters, for example, select numbering " 6 " can import question mark "? "
Should be appreciated that Fig. 4 A only for exemplary, also can show alternative symbol at capable head of alternative word menu or central authorities.
Fig. 4 B illustrates the operation chart of importing according to simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable difference carrying out symbol according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
At first, shown in Fig. 4 B steps d, import initial consonant " D ".Thus, according to the corresponding a plurality of symbol commas of initial consonant in the table 1 " D "; ", pause mark ", " and equal sign "=", so can show comma at alternate item formation first every trade end, ", show at alternate item second every trade end pause mark ", " and show equal sign "=" (not shown) at the capable end of alternate item the third line.Can use the special function keys (not shown) to carry out switching in the ranks in the alternate item formation.Subsequently, if the user does not select, and first simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable (such as three kinds of situations in step e, step g and the step I) of importing in addition, then show the alternate item formation of the letter of new input being retrieved acquisition.For example, the step e of Fig. 4 B, step g, step I show respectively the situation of input first simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable " u ", " o " and " e " in addition.In step g, imported simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable " o " in addition thereby the monogram of composition " do ", at this moment, according to table 1 as can be seen, this letter can be unique corresponding to comma, ", so alternate item formation first trip row end demonstration comma, ".At last, at step h, expect that by input the numbering of the alternative symbol of input is imported this symbol.Similarly, step e also carry out to step f and step I to step j to step g to the similar processing of step h, therefore will omit description to it at this.
Therefore in addition, the initial and the final of the Chinese phonetic alphabet and the mapping relations of letter key are technology well known in the art, will omit description to it at this.
Although describe and show the present invention in detail in conjunction with exemplary embodiment of the present, but those skilled in the art are to be understood that, under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention that are defined by the claims, can make various modifications, interpolation and replacement to exemplary embodiment of the present.
