Description

Chinese-character input method using lightpen

The present invention relates to a kind of Chinese-character input method using lightpen, just the user of microcomputer or operator utilize light pen to import Chinese character or editing files by given zone on the character-type Chinese-character viewing screen.

Existing Chinese character input method has keyboard-type input method, handwritten Chinese character input method or voice input method of Chinese character etc.These input method of Chinese character all have its weak point, need the data operator to carry on the back the many symbols of note as the keyboard-type input method of Chinese character, are difficult for grasping, and the data operator needs special training just can operate, and intelligent degree is also not high enough; Voice input method of Chinese character cost is higher, and sound recognition is also not accurate enough.Existing input method of Chinese character also has employing figure pattern input method using lightpen, but it does not have the function of keyboard and light pen and usefulness, and intelligent degree is also not high enough.In order to solve the problem that above-mentioned Chinese character input method exists, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of light pen and character formula display screen of adopting and show that Chinese character or the symbol mode of engaging in the dialogue realize the method for Chinese character input.

The object of the present invention is achieved like this: the character-type Chinese-character input method is to be " paper " with video screen, is that " pen " carries out with light pen.Be divided into literal field (also crying old file area, can be several), highlight, command area and input field (also crying new file area) etc. on the video screen, literal field can demonstrate existing file, letter disk or symbol etc.; Highlight guiding operation person uses current operation; The command area provides current various command; The input field is the zone that forms new file.Above-mentioned several district can appear on the video screen simultaneously, also can appear on the video screen as required.The operator is with literal or the symbol of light pen point in literal field during operation, and the corresponding contents of being put just enters the input field, forms the new file that needs." menu mode " prompting is adopted in order, with certain order in the command area of light pen point, will carry out this order, can use up straight connecing like this without keyboard and finish various operations.

Advantage of the present invention is the easiest for the people who did not learn Chinese character input method, and input speed is very fast, and utilizes the content indication of highlight prompting how to operate, and makes that the dialogue of people and computing machine is more intelligent.Chinese-character input method using lightpen is more directly perceived than inputting method, is difficult for makeing mistakes.The prompting of every work is arranged on the screen during input Chinese character, and the people wants What for as long as pointed to the order of the work prompting that will do with light pen.This method can all be transplanted the inputting method of phonetic, phrase, association type and five strokes etc. in input method using lightpen.This method can realize the various input methods of any keyboard input.

Character-type Chinese-character input method using lightpen of the present invention utilizes microcomputer main frame, display, light pen and light pen controller to realize.Light pen is to be connected with microcomputer by the light pen controller, has trigger switch on the light pen.Light pen can be common light pen, also can be the glove-type light pen.The light pen controller can be made and include the printed circuit board (PCB) that scan counter, light pen address latch, light pen trigger and status command register etc. are formed.Light pen also can directly utilize the special purpose interface of microcomputer, as the display card (existing light pen interface) or the New Times Chinese Card (the patent CN85 1 00974 of China's approved) of IBM PC, XT, AT machine.Light pen can use separately or also use simultaneously with keyboard.At the same time and the time spent, both also can arbitrarily be used singly or in combination.The purpose that is used in combination is the additions and deletions that solve big section literal, improve input editing speed, for example when carrying out continuous multiword additions and deletions, the available right hand is held light pen and is pointed to first word of desiring additions and deletions, left-hand finger is by the additions and deletions key that is pressed on the keyboard, microcomputer is carried out additions and deletions (program) operation continuously, and the additions and deletions order stopped at once when finger lifted.Can point to first character with light pen when big section literal additions and deletions, push the corresponding operating key on the keyboard, light pen points to last character again, then can finish the additions and deletions of whole section literal very soon.

Counter circuit on the light pen controller is being counted the address of scanning on the video screen in real time, this address is corresponding one by one with the planimetric position on the video screen, when the light pen front end receives using light information on the video screen, trigger switch on the operation light pen, the scanning and counting device is remembered this address, program accesses the content that the relevant position shows memory with this address, is corresponding Chinese character or order by what can learn present input after the process analysis.This input method needn't be remembered font and pronunciation, does not also parrot order, as long as understanding.During operation just loading error can not appear as long as aim at the content that will import.

Character-type Chinese-character input method using lightpen of the present invention, the fluorescent display screen dividing region realizes with corresponding software.What old file area showed is old file, and the existing saving file content of microcomputer all can be called in old file area.As the content that needs is arranged in the old file, as long as with the light pen dot-dash corresponding contents in the file until old, word or passage are just being accepted these contents in new file area.As the old file area filling Chinese phonetic alphabet then with light pen point when certain letter, highlight will occur mutually should letter literal, tap then need word or phrase, this word or phrase will enter in the new file area.Tap the various strokes of forming a word if five strokes are loaded in old file area with light pen, this Chinese character also just enters new file area.The accepted content in new file area equally also can be used as the input source again of light pen.With above-mentioned same method can realize file editor, revise, increase multinomial functions such as grid, deposit and printing.
