Communicator 100 is arranged to the information receiving service, and wherein the user can input characters message and sent it to one or more communicator.Device 100 comprises being arranged through realizes that input is convenient to import character reader system based on the character of morpheme based on the character of phoneme.The candidate characters based on morpheme that presents on the character reader system identification display 104 wherein can use guider 106 to select and adds the expection character to message thus.
This device also comprises the guider 106 that can be used for navigation among the character candidates 108 that shows, for example four-way navigation key (on/down/right side/left side), rotatable input media or touch quick navigation input.In order to navigate among character candidates 108, one of character candidates has designator 110.The form of this designator can be enlivened the candidate for highlighting, pointer or mark are placed enliven below the candidate/above/next door etc.
Fig. 1 shows following example, and wherein six character candidates are shown in the tabulation in the displayed map of mobile communications device.For example, if the user wants the 5th character in the selective listing 108, then he or she presses guider 106 (right navigation key) four times.As shown in Figure 2, character designator (highlighting symbol) moves to right accordingly and highlights the 5th character 204.Place the present indication of designator on tabulation 202 the 5th character 204 can when activating selecting arrangement (operation that for example special-purpose options button, the soft key that is assigned selection function, guider 206 are used to select), select the specific character candidate now.Character candidates 202 can be arranged in according to navigate mode to be had in initial character candidate and last character candidate's the sequential list, perhaps preferably is arranged in the circular list, and promptly when navigation arrived the tabulation end, further navigation continued at the other end of tabulation.For example, in the left screenshot capture of Fig. 3, indicated the most left character 303, i.e. initial character in the circular list 301.When the user navigates left when step, as shown in right screenshot capture, indication rightmost character 305, the 6th character in 301 of promptly tabulating.In the same manner, also might in circular list, navigate left, thereby when the leftmost character in the arrival tabulation, further navigation will realize the indication rightmost character left.Find, navigate to and select required character candidates in many examples, may need repeatedly button, especially when character candidate list is long.
In the same manner, also might in circular list, navigate to the right, thereby when the rightmost character in the arrival tabulation, further navigation will realize the indication leftmost character to the right.
Determine candidate 108 among Fig. 1 with the basis that is input as based on the character 112 of phoneme (such as Latin, Arab or Cyrillic character 401 as shown in Figure 4), this input is undertaken by using input interface 102, and this input interface can be telephone keypad, handwriting input and recognition mechanism or input of any other character or guider 106.Determine and show feasible character candidates 108 according to the character 112 of input based on morpheme.In case select, add selected character candidates to message, and can import the basis of new character set with the new character candidates collection that is formed for navigating and selects.
In order further to be convenient to the character based on morpheme is that message is created on the basis, can rank them based on the probability of use of character candidates.This probability can be based on the general probability in the used language, according to the probability of individual dictionary or according to the language analysis that message itself is carried out.
Figure 5 illustrates one embodiment of the present of invention.Displayed map shows six character candidates that are arranged in the circular list 501, and the relative order of character candidates is as follows.The character candidates 502 that most probable is selected places the position that keeps left most of tabulation, i.e. position 1 (as shown in Figure 5).Second may character candidates 503 place the position of keeping right most of tabulation, and promptly the position 6.The 3rd may character candidates 504 places second of the tabulation position that keeps left, and promptly the position 2.The 4th may character candidates places second of the tabulation position of keeping right, and promptly the position 5.The 5th may character candidates places the 3rd of the tabulation position that keeps left, and promptly the position 3, and the 6th may character candidates place the 3rd of the tabulation position of keeping right, and promptly the position 4.This layout will produce following tabulation, and this tabulation has the probability that successively decreases towards the central authorities of tabulation, and wherein least possible character candidates is positioned at the centre of tabulation, and the most probable character candidates is positioned at two " ends " (towards low order end with towards high order end) of tabulation.In other words, as shown in Figure 5, probability increases progressively towards the both sides (left side and right side) of tabulation and successively decreases towards the centre or the central authorities of tabulation.To arrange more long list with over-over mode same as described above.
From the beginning, highlight be positioned at position 1 the most probable character for you to choose.Second may character candidates 503 if the user wants to navigate to and selects, then only need one-touch (navigation left settles at one go and puts 6), if and the user wants to navigate to and select the 3rd possibility character candidates 504, then only need one-touch (navigation to the right settles at one go and puts 2).In this way, can arrive the most probable character candidates, therefore obviously reduce touch potential as a rule with the button of minimum number.Can be with the long character candidate list of same way as arrangement, these tabulations start from the most probable character candidates and are keeping left most, second may character candidates keeping right most, the 3rd may character candidates keep left second, the 4th may candidate characters keeping right second, by that analogy.
Substitute as a kind of, can arrange tabulation with following mode, thereby this mode is successively decreased from the central authorities of tabulation to candidate's probability that sorts, promptly following tabulation, and wherein middle candidate characters is related with maximum probability and highlight this middle candidate (as indicated above) at first.For such tabulation, the candidate characters that is right after on the right side of middle candidate characters is related with second high probability; The candidate characters that is right after in the left side of middle candidate characters has the 3rd high probability; By that analogy.Therefore replaced and started from an end and along with the probability of candidate characters successively decreases and (from two ends) shift to the central authorities of tabulation, can from middle search listing and along with the probability of candidate characters successively decrease and towards two ends outside search listing.
If character candidates outnumbers the number of characters that can be shown in simultaneously on the mobile communications device display, then character candidates can be divided into several pages.Each page will comprise the character candidates circular list of arranging according to the relative probability of character candidates according to such scheme.For example, if find that during importing ten character candidates and display once only can show 5 character candidates, then ten candidates' tabulation is divided into two tabulations that comprise 5 character candidates in each tabulation.Homepage will comprise then according to such scheme and be arranged in five most probable character candidates in the circular list.Second page will comprise then be arranged in the circular list all the other five according to such scheme secondly may character candidates.If the user does not find the character searched in he or her tabulation in homepage, then the user can be by navigating to second page that comprises the tabulation with all the other character candidates by last/following key.
Several pages can be arranged in and can use/the sequential list with " homepage " and " last page " that following key navigates.Also can be with order but the round-robin mode is arranged them, thereby when the user navigate to " last page " and press once more last/during following key, demonstration is comprised " homepage " of tabulation with most probable character candidates.
If can in the display of device, show several pages simultaneously, be several tabulations, then can arrange them according to the scheme identical with character candidates as indicated above.
Above mainly the present invention is described with reference to minority embodiment.Yet, such as readily understood by the skilled person, with embodiment that above disclosed embodiment is different as the scope of the invention that limits by appended Patent right requirement in be equally possible.
