Description

Create the method and the key input apparatus thereof of Chinese character

Technical field

The present invention relates generally to a kind of method and key input apparatus thereof of creating Chinese character, more specifically, relate to a kind of method and key input apparatus thereof of creating Chinese character, the method of this establishment Chinese character is suitably decomposed all Chinese characters, decomposition result is categorized as each a plurality of basic strokes of forming by stroke and each a plurality of symbols by two strokes or more strokes of compositions, and in information-communication device, uses the combination of basic strokes and symbol to create Chinese character.

Background technology

As everyone knows, under the situation of the character that comprises few use, exist more than 10000 Chinese characters.On the contrary, when being limited to normally used character, there are about 3000 to 6000 Chinese characters.Chinese character can be categorized as the tradition Chinese character character and the simplified Chinese characters character that are derived from ancient china by the tradition Chinese character character conversion is formed for simple, easy-to-use modernized form.The tradition Chinese character character is used in Taiwan now, and the China's Mainland is used the simplified Chinese characters character now.Hereinafter, term " Chinese character " will be used as the notion that relates to tradition Chinese character character and simplified Chinese characters character.

Simultaneously, there are about 230 radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries (section header) in the employed standard Chinese dictionary that is used for the pupil in the China's Mainland, and it is that representative as each joint appears at the character style in the index.Radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries (being commonly referred to " index key ", " specificator " or " radical ") are used as the method for organizing, classifying and arrange Chinese character based on the structure of character.In more detail, about radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries, extract ingredient by each Chinese character being divided into such as right part and left part, upper and lower, inside and outside, initial part and end portion or principal part with from two parts of portion, character with part (it is and the relevant part of classification of the meaning) of equivalent is grouped and is placed in the single joint, and has the radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries that part with the common equivalent of this joint is placed in the index and is used as this joint.Radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries can be single characters, but it can be the character that does not often use.

Because the quantity of Chinese character is very big as mentioned above, they are handled so be difficult to Chinese character imported in the computing machine and in computing machine.Except this problem, Chinese character has text standardization and a plurality of homophony word problem, and this has hindered to use a computer and has carried out effective text-processing.Therefore, carried out the research of many decades and had hundreds of different schemes though concentrated, use a computer input and processing Chinese character (especially text-processing) have greatly hindered computing machine to use at the convenient of China.

The computer-based method of available in recent years input and processing Chinese character can be divided into two types.A kind of method is based on the method that the square character is decomposed into the primary image composition.Different keys on keyboard are assigned to each primary image composition of Chinese character.In view of the above, can import each Chinese character based on the one or more keystrokes of being used in combination of primary image composition.This method is included in Changji scheme of using in Taiwan and five schemes using in the China's Mainland.The disadvantage of this method is that it is artificial that key is distributed to the Chinese character composition.In Changji scheme and five schemes, must remember the distribution of code wittingly.Yet, remember that representing the key of composition is difficulty and consuming time.Therefore, though this method is used by the input operator of specialty and can be used realizing input speed fast by well-trained typist, this method is not used by the computer elite with the people and the ordinary people of other industry work.Therefore, this method is limited among computed Chinese population and uses.

Other method is everyone the most widely used method except professional typist.This method is based on the phonetics input method (for example, employed phonetic plan and employed in Taiwan " phonetic symbol " or BPMF scheme in the China's Mainland) of English alphabet.The Chinese character notation is that such method is at conceptive and actual obstacle.Promptly, only there is the individual different pinyin syllable of about hundreds of owing to compare, so single pinyin syllable is corresponding to a plurality of different Chinese characters, for example with 10000 or more character, in mandarin, syllable ' yi ' can be corresponding to 100 or more Chinese character.Therefore, when pinyin syllable is translated into Chinese character, produce ambiguity.In order to handle " homophony word problem ", most of pinyin input systems adopt selection scheme.For example, after the letter corresponding to certain pinyin syllable in the inputting English letter table, computing machine shows that all have the possible Chinese character of coupling pronunciation.If there are many corresponding characters, then screen lack to show enough spaces of all possible character, so user's roll screen up and down.Therefore, using this method to import the speed of Chinese character may be very slow.

Yet the bigger problem of this method is that owing to used The English alphabet, cultural independence is inevitable weakened.

Summary of the invention

Embodiment

Below, will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings according to the method for establishment Chinese character of the present invention and the various embodiment of key input apparatus thereof.Before describing, will the term that use among the present invention be described at first.

In the present invention, term ' stroke ' is meant line or the point that writes out by writing implement when the writing of Chinese characters character.Term ' unit stroke ' and ' symbol ' are meant by such as suitably decomposing the character composition that is used to create Chinese character that Chinese character obtains according to shape or the meaning with what Chinese character was decomposed into public sector, and each character composition is by single stroke or two strokes or more strokes of compositions.Therefore, unit stroke and symbol can be distributed to the unique key code value respectively, for example, and unique key code value of independently setting up based on the unified code value of 2 byte code systems or in China etc.

Here, according to above-mentioned definition, unit stroke and symbol can be overlapping with the radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries that limit before and classify.Some unit strokes and symbol constitute complete Chinese character.When unit stroke or symbol are consistent with complete Chinese character, the key value of before distributing to corresponding Chinese character do not make a change the unit's of being assigned to stroke or symbol, perhaps with another key value unit's of distributing to stroke or symbol, then, when Chinese character when being complete, for example, when end of input symbol signal (it will be described following), that is, when signal finished in independent unit character, before being transformed to, this key value distributes to the key value of corresponding Chinese character.

Simultaneously, term " presents the character composition " and is meant unit stroke and the symbol on each key button that is arranged in keyboard visibly, and for example, engraving or printing then are arranged in unit stroke and the symbol on each key button of keyboard.On the contrary, term " does not present the character composition " and is meant unit stroke or the symbol that is arranged in such as on the specific key button of the keyboard of digital button, and be configured to up at first pushed other specific key buttons (such as, father's symbol key button or subsymbol key button) just be activated or just be activated and show.

Simultaneously, can comprise according to the function of Chinese character with its a plurality of parts that are categorized as speech: noun is the speech that is used to represent the title of persons or things; Pronoun is the speech that is used to replace people, things or position; Measure word is for being used to represent calculate the speech of the amount of things; Verb, be used to represent to move, the speech of behavior, existence, development, variation and disappearance; Modal verb (auxiliary verb) is to be used to be placed on the front of verb and the speech of auxiliary verb; Adjective is for being used to represent the speech of character or state; Adverbial word, be used to represent to move, the scope of character or state, time, degree, frequency, certainly or the speech of denying; Preposition is the front that is used to be placed on noun, pronoun or phrase, forms prepositional phrase, and modifies verb or adjectival speech; Conjunction is the speech that is used for conjunction, subordinate clause or phrase; Variable is not the speech that is used to be placed on after speech or the subordinate clause and then represents various grammatical meanings; Onomatopoeia is the speech that is used to represent object or natural sound; And interjection, be to be used to the speech of calling, answering or shouting.

In the present invention, term " often use character " is meant the complete Chinese character of limited quantity, and it is selected from the Chinese character of each or the specific part that constitute speech by the order of successively decreasing according to frequency of utilization.Term " father's symbol key button " and " subsymbol key button " are meant the key button that is arranged in appropriate position on the keyboard, and when pushing them, corresponding character composition and the correspondence such as the specific key button of digital button of not presenting that activates keyboard.Preferably, the character composition that do not present of father's symbol comprises the left side that is arranged in Chinese character or unit stroke or the symbol on the upside, and the character composition that do not present of subsymbol comprises the right side that is arranged in Chinese character or the unit stroke or the symbol of downside.Combination therewith, the order of strokes of Chinese character is based on following primitive rule, comprise from left to right carry out write the rule of perpendicular stroke behind rule, the carrying out rule and writing horizontal stroke earlier from the top to the bottom and be used to have and additional rule based on some Chinese characters of the different order of strokes of the order of strokes of primitive rule.Understand these regular users can according to probability determine corresponding symbol be father's symbol do not present character composition or subsymbol do not present the character composition.

Simultaneously, term " key button " is meant hardware character input media or the software character entry apparatus (for example, touch-screen key button) that places on the keyboard and create corresponding key value when being pressed.In this " key button ", single key can arrange that perhaps two or more keys can be arranged with two-layer or multilayer with individual layer.

Term " information and communicator " is meant one of various devices that use CPU (central processing unit) (CPU) execution information processing or communicate by letter, and comprises various calculation elements, mobile communication terminal, portable internet terminal, pocket-size electronic book, electronic dictionary, portable media player, cashier's machine, electronic calculator and remote controllers such as desk-top computer, notebook, laptop computer and handheld computer.

Figure 1A is the form of all unit strokes relevant with the method for establishment Chinese character according to the present invention, Figure 1B to 1I shows all two stroke forms to nine stroke symbols relevant with the method for establishment Chinese character according to the present invention, and Fig. 1 J shows the form of all the ten stroke above characters relevant with the method for establishment Chinese character according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, in order to improve the adaptability that is used in the various key input apparatus in various information and the communicator to current, Chinese character is broken down into the symbol (shown in Figure 1B to 1J) of 30 unit strokes (shown in Figure 1A) and 336 two strokes to ten strokes or more strokes.As seeing in above table, the unit stroke is classified as 30 different strokes altogether.In these unit strokes, exist such as

As some unit strokes of complete Chinese character, but most of units stroke is the unit stroke that just works up to they and other unit stroke or the incompatible establishment Chinese character of symbols.

Simultaneously, in these unit strokes, there be the unit stroke consistent, but have the more and inconsistent unit of stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries stroke with the stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries in traditional Chinese dictionary.That is, although comprise only nine altogether of the quantity of the stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of its allosome in traditional Chinese dictionary, having 30 unit strokes in an embodiment of the present invention, is the unit stroke of single stroke according to the present invention by latest definition thereby exist many.Under the situation of symbol, as the situation of unit stroke, there is the consistent symbol of many with traditional radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries, but has symbol unique in the present invention and that create independently.

In addition, for the convenience and the accuracy of the establishment that improves Chinese character, such as,

"

", " Shu " and "

" or "

" and

" the unit character with identical or analogous shape be divided into major types and little type, be assigned with different key values then.

Next, two strokes preferably include 48 symbols to each of six strokes of symbols, shown in Figure 1B to Fig. 1 F.Belong to two strokes of each quantity of symbol to six strokes of symbols greater than seven strokes of each quantity of symbol to ten strokes of symbols (shown in Fig. 1 G to Fig. 1 J, it is 24) reason be that the importance of two strokes to six strokes symbols in the structure of Chinese character is higher.Simultaneously, belong to reason that two strokes of each quantity of symbol to six strokes of symbols are confirmed as 12 multiple and be to be decomposed into 48 quantity, type and the character that are suitable for Chinese character, and (under the situation of the classification that does not present the character composition that does not present character composition and subsymbol of carrying out father's symbol) do not present that the character composition is arranged with one to two maximum corresponding relation and residue on 12 key buttons altogether and not, can easily select (input) not present the character composition, these 12 key buttons comprise 10 numeric keys button and "-" and "=" key button.

Next, each the quantity of symbol that belongs to seven strokes to ten strokes and more stroke symbols is 24.Therefore, (being classified as at these symbols under the situation that does not present the character composition that does not present character composition and subsymbol of father's symbol) these symbols can be arranged with one to one corresponding relation, and residue on 12 buttons altogether and not, these 12 buttons comprise 10 numeric keys button and "-" and "=" key button.

Fig. 2 shows the form of the character of the frequent use relevant with the method for establishment Chinese character according to the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, according to the present invention, often the quantity of the character that uses is 72, promptly, 12 multiple, the residue on 12 key buttons altogether and the not thereby character that often uses can be arranged, these 12 key buttons comprise above-mentioned 10 numeric keys button and "-" and "=" key button.Simultaneously, being widely used as the character that the various piece (such as, pronoun, modal verb, preposition, not variable and conjunction) of voice often used in Chinese can be by the character of selecting uniformly to use as often.

Fig. 3 shows the screen example according to the keyboard layout that is used for Desktop PC of the embodiment of key input apparatus of the present invention.As shown in Figure 3, be used for the typical keyboard of Desktop PC, by English alphabet keys and numerical key form and the key group 11 that is used to prepare document (hereinafter, be called as " document is prepared the key group ") be disposed in the part of the part of scope from left end to the right side in the keyboard, the key group 12 that is used to import predetermined function (hereinafter, be called as " function key group ") be disposed in the part of document preparation key group 11 tops in the keyboard 10, and be disposed in document by the key group 14 (being called as hereinafter, " direction key group ") that direction arrow is formed and prepare in the bottom on right side of key group 11.

By the key group of forming such as the key that is mainly used in Edit Document of " Insert ", " Home ", " Page Up ", " Delete ", " End " and " PageDown " key 15 (hereinafter, be called as " documents editing key group ") be disposed in direction key group 14 tops, and be disposed in documents editing key group 15 tops by the key group 13 (being called as hereinafter, " special operating key group ") that " Print Scrn SysRq ", " Scroll Lock " and " Pause " key are formed.At last, the key group 16 (being called as hereinafter, " calculating/editing key group ") that constitutes by mark, the direction arrow of suitably arranging four primitive rules of numeral, computing with multilayer, the documents editing mark that belongs to documents editing key group 15 and carriage return mark is disposed in the right part of keyboard 10.In addition, belong in each key group each the key of minimum number and the relation of the position between these keys by International standardization.

Simultaneously, document prepares that key group 11 consists essentially of 26 alphabetical key buttons being made up of A～zee key button, 10 digital buttons forming by 1～0 digital button and by " ` ", "-", "=" and “ " the mark key button form and be arranged in digital button with 11 the mark key button 11a altogether in the delegation, and " { ", " } ", ": ", " " ", "＜", "＞" and "? " mark key button (hereinafter, these 47 key buttons will be called as " letter/number/mark key button ").According to the present invention, shown in Figure 1B and 1C, each quantity by two strokes or the three strokes symbols that constitute is 96, thereby except all two strokes of two outer symbols and three strokes of symbols all are arranged on numeral/letter/mark key button 11a with multilayer, promptly, on the two-layer right side that is arranged in each key button, and suitably adjust the position of symbol according to frequency of utilization.The symbol that is arranged on letter/number/mark key button 11a constitutes " presenting the character composition ".Two strokes can be classified as 47 symbols consistent with the quantity of letter/number/mark key button 11a with three strokes of symbols.Prepare in the key group 11 at document, reference character 11B represents the carriage return key button, reference character 11C represents the English key button that switches of Chinese, it switches letter/number/mark key button 11a between English/Chinese pattern when being pressed time a time, reference character 11d and 11e represent father's symbol key button and subsymbol key button respectively, reference character 11f represents the digital selective key button, it carry out to switch so that current 10 numeric keys button 1～0 (or 10 numeric keys button and " ` " when using letter/number/mark key button 11a under Chinese pattern, "-", "=", " ", " { ", " } ", ": ", " " "; "＜"; "＞" and "? " key button) creates respective digital and mark key, and reference character 11g represents to duplicate key button, and it carries out the special function that will be copied to by one or more Chinese characters of user's appointment on the screen when pushing corresponding key button.

Next, calculating/editing key group 16 comprises 15 key buttons (hereinafter, be called as " calculation key group " separately), " Num Lock " key button and " Enter " key button, this calculation key group comprises the button of 10 numeric keys altogether is made up of 1～0 key button, a radix point key button of being made up of ". " key button and the regular key buttons of being made up of "/", " * ", "-" and "+" key button of four elementary arithmetics.In the zone of above-mentioned calculation key group, 30 unit strokes are divided into two groups and arrange with multilayer.

Fig. 4 A shows and is assigned with as the character of the frequent use of father's symbol of the keyboard of Fig. 3 and the screen example of symbol, and Fig. 4 B shows and is assigned with as the character of the frequent use of the subsymbol of the keyboard of Fig. 3 and the screen example of symbol.In Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, in father's symbol and subsymbol, the symbol of four strokes or more strokes (as mentioned above, unit stroke, two strokes of symbols and three strokes of symbols are to present the character composition and be arranged among calculating/editing key group 16 and the letter/number/mark key button 11a with presentation mode) be divided into the group of 12 or 24 symbols, be disposed in then in the stroke set with quantity consistent with the stroke quantity of respective symbol.For example, comprise that each group of four strokes, five strokes and six strokes symbols of 48 symbols is divided into the group of 24 symbols, in the 4th, the 5th and the 6th stroke set, be arranged to 12 symbols of every row then about father's symbol and subsymbol.

Next, comprise that each group of the symbol of seven strokes, eight strokes, nine strokes of 24 symbols and ten strokes and more strokes is divided into the group of 12 symbols, then about father's symbol and subsymbol the the 7th, the 8th, the 9th and the 10th or the stroke set of higher numbering in, be arranged to every row 12 symbols altogether.

Simultaneously, because unit stroke, two strokes and three strokes of symbols are to present the character composition and be arranged in calculatings/editing key group 16 with presentation mode and on letter/number/mark key button 11a, so be sky about the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd stroke set of father's symbol and subsymbol.In the present embodiment, the character of choosing as mentioned above of 72 frequent uses altogether suitably is divided into the group of 12 characters and in the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd stroke set about father's symbol and subsymbol, is arranged with single file.

Below, with the method for describing in detail by the keyboard input character of Fig. 3.To be given in the description of following condition: Chinese/English that the user has handled keyboard 10 switches key button 11C, so keyboard 10 is current with Chinese pattern work, that is, the key button of letter/number/mark key button 11a and calculating/editing key group 16 is with Chinese pattern work.

Following form 1A to 1W selects the form of three Chinese characters at each letter in the The English alphabet among the Chinese character of classifying according to phonetic, and shows establishment rule and other possible establishment rules of three Chinese characters.In following form 1A to 1W, as " NumLock " when key button is opened, calculating/editing key group 16 is with Chinese pattern work." NL^ " expression calculating/editing key group 16 situations with Chinese pattern work.Therefore, be arranged at unit stroke on the corresponding key button with presentation mode in " NL^ " numeral or symbolic representation afterwards.

Next, when letter/number/mark key button 11a or calculating/editing key group 16 during, on " sh+ " key (unit stroke or symbol) expression afterwards is arranged in two keys on the corresponding key button (two unit stroke or symbol) in the multilayer mode one (the unit stroke or the symbol on top) with Chinese pattern work.Therefore, when calculating/editing key group 16 is worked with Chinese pattern, in " sh+NL^ " key (unit stroke or symbol) expression top key (unit stroke or symbol) afterwards.

Form 5D

As finding out from form 5A to 5D, according to the present invention, the number of times of the keystroke almost stroke with traditional phonetic transcription is identical.With select to the hundreds of Chinese character the phonetic transcription of a Chinese character to compare from tens, the present invention has shortened keyboard input time significantly than traditional phonetic transcription, and has obviously reduced be absorbed in and degree of fatigue relevant with the keyboard input.

Simultaneously, import sentence about the method for using above-mentioned establishment Chinese character, preferably, when finishing the establishment of any one Chinese character, the suitable end mark signal of input such as an enter key signal for example, is pushed the enter key button, CPU (that is character creation procedure) with the notice computing machine finishes.Therefore when not pushing enter key between startup stage, can keep the state of not creating complete Chinese character at Chinese character.In a similar fashion, when finishing whole sentence, can import sentence end mark signal for twice by pushing enter key.

Should be understood that, can import such end mark signal by pushing such as another key of space bar or right key.

Method and key input apparatus according to establishment Chinese character of the present invention are not limited to the foregoing description, and can change in many ways in the scope that technical spirit of the present invention allows and implement.

Comprising among the traditional Chinese radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of its variant, the quantity of stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 9, the quantity of two strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 30, the quantity of three strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 44, the quantity of four strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 48, the quantity of five strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 28, and the quantity of six strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 31, and each the radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries quantity in seven to the ten stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries groups is 24 or still less.Therefore, when traditional Chinese radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries and the above embodiment of the present invention are compared, according in unit of the present invention stroke quantity, two strokes of symbol quantities and the three strokes of symbol quantities each all greater than in the quantity of traditional stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries, two strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries quantity and the three strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries quantity each.Yet two strokes of symbols of the present invention do not comprise two strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of all tradition, and three strokes of symbols of the present invention do not comprise three strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of all tradition.Two strokes of symbols and three strokes of symbols can be set to make them to comprise two strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of all tradition and three strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries, and perhaps two strokes of symbols and three strokes of symbols can be configured to only comprise traditional Chinese radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries.In addition, the unit stroke can be limited to 9, as the stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of traditional Chinese radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries.And in the case, the unit stroke is limited to 9, makes at the keyboard 10 that is used for Desktop PC, and the unit stroke can suitably be arranged on the digital button 0～9 of calculating/editing key group 16 by individual layer.

Simultaneously, because traditional stroke to three stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries are about 83, so stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries and two strokes and three strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries can be arranged on letter/number/mark

key button

11a, 21,31,31 ' and 41.For example, the stroke radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries can be arranged on each digital button 1～0 of letter/number/mark key button by individual layer, and remaining 74 two strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries and three strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries can multilayer or individual layer suitably distribute and be arranged on remaining 37 letter/number/mark

key button

11a, 21,31,31 ' and 41.By doing like this, the user who gets used to the order of strokes of Chinese character or Chinese character can more easily import and create Chinese character by the sequential combination traditional Chinese radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries according to Chinese character.

Simultaneously, under the situation of the keyboard 10 that is used for Desktop PC, often the character that uses is disposed in the 0th to the 3rd and concentrates, thus when selecting altogether 24 characters for father's symbol and subsymbol, maximum 144 often the characters of uses can be arranged.

In addition, it is 10 that the quantity that is included in the character of frequent use in each row of each stroke set of father's symbol or subsymbol or symbol can be restricted to maximal value, rather than in the foregoing description 12, thereby they can be only corresponding to digital button 1～0.In the case, the quantity of four strokes of traditional Chinese radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries is about 44, and it is slightly above 40.Therefore, ignore four strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries that often do not use, four strokes of radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries that perhaps will often use with the arranged in form that presents the character composition on letter/number/mark key button 11a, thereby all unit stroke symbols and two strokes and more strokes symbol or the character that often uses can two-layerly at most be arranged on the digital button 1～0, and do not produce any problem.

In addition, (for example be arranged in the form that do not present the character composition, with three layers or four layers at unit stroke or symbol on the letter/number/mark key button of each keyboard, on each angle of each key button) situation under, can be provided for selecting the independent function key button of arranged stroke or symbol, promptly, have the second or the 3rd gear shift key button with the function identical functions of gear shift key button, thereby the quantity that presents the character composition is increased.

Simultaneously, have the simplified Chinese characters character that has also been lost its original tradition Chinese character character style by excessive deformation, shown in the following tabulation lattice 6, thereby the user of neighbouring country is difficult to use the tradition Chinese character character to create them.Given this, in form 6, the tradition Chinese character character of about 25 correspondences is set to and does not present the character composition, and be disposed in the stroke set of father's symbol or subsymbol, this stroke set since with the arranged in form that presents the character composition because be empty, thereby can in Chinese character culture zone, realize creating the integrality of Chinese character.

Form 6

According to Chinese character creation method of the present invention and key input apparatus, can use the combination of two to four unit strokes and/or symbol to create Chinese character, make and not know carrying out input under the situation of corresponding phonetic, and needn't search for input method based on radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries or pronunciation, and Chinese character can be input in various information and the communicator fast and easily, and need not independent training.

Particularly, Chinese character can be input in the standard mobile communication terminal of the key button with relatively small amount easily and apace.

In addition, because the phonetic of being made up of The English alphabet is not depended in the present invention, so can keep the independence of Chinese and culture.

Although the purpose of property discloses the preferred embodiments of the present invention presented for purpose of illustration, it will be understood by those of skill in the art that and under the situation that does not deviate from disclosed scope of invention of claims and spirit, can carry out various modifications, interpolation and replacement.
