Embodiment

Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Embodiment based in the present invention, those of ordinary skills, not making the every other embodiment obtaining under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.

Referring to Fig. 1, the method for inputting in the hardware device that the embodiment of the present invention provides comprises the following steps:

S101: hardware device sends to input method server by content to be converted;

Wherein, hardware device itself can receive input instruction, and this input instruction can be in real time or batch input, and can be to input by this hardware device itself or remote control or the mode such as long-range.For example, this content to be converted can be that user passes through hardware device input itself.Concrete, user can be by the modes such as button typing or audio frequency typing, typing content to be converted.It should be noted that, under the mode of button typing, the key information that described content to be converted can be user, alphabetical sequence or the phonetic network information etc.,, hardware device can directly send to input method server by the raw information of user's input, also raw information can be carried out to some and process, then send to input method server.For example, certain user presses " 426 " three numerical keys successively, can directly " 426 " be sent to input method server, by input method server, according to key information, obtain corresponding alphabetical sequence, again alphabetical sequence is combined and obtains Pinyin information, and then carry out sound word and be converted to candidate item; Or, user, press " 426 " afterwards, hardware device also can send to input method server by alphabetical sequence " ghi abc mno " corresponding to each numerical key, by input method server, each letter is combined and obtains Pinyin information, then carry out sound word and be converted to candidate item; Or, user, press " 426 " afterwards, hardware device can also combine alphabetical sequence corresponding to each numerical key to obtain Pinyin information, as " hao gao gan han ha.m ha.n " etc., and send to input method server, now, input method server can directly carry out sound word according to Pinyin information and is converted to candidate item.

S102: input method server carries out words conversion according to described content to be converted, obtains candidate item;

S103: according to the configuration information of described hardware device, provide the candidate item information adapting with described hardware device configuration;

S104: according to described candidate item information, provide the candidate item of available input.

In embodiments of the present invention, in order to realize in the situation that not taking hardware terminal excess resource, can in hardware terminal, carry out words input, the client of a lightweight is provided, its major function is communication, comprises input and output and sends words conversion request and receive word conversion result to server end; The most complicated intelligent computation has partly been thrown on professional input method server, reduced to the full extent the requirement to hardware device.

Wherein, hardware device is when sending request to input method server, can carry hardware device No. ID, this No. ID can this hardware device of unique identification, like this, input method server, after obtaining transformation result, can, according to No. D, the I of hardware device, return to word conversion result information to hardware device.

It should be noted that, during specific implementation, input method server can be deployed on the server of hardware device system of living in, for example, for this hardware device of Set Top Box, digi-TV centre can communicate by cable TV network and Set Top Box, like this, input method server can be deployed in digi-TV centre, accordingly, Set Top Box just can send request to digi-TV centre by cable television network, and the input method server of digi-TV centre will be changed accordingly, and returns to transformation result.In this case, be equivalent to the input method server that diverse network (cable networks such as wireless network, cable TV network, PSTN, the satellite communication network etc. such as mobile communication) has respectively oneself, input method server can directly receive the request of hardware device.

In addition, also can provide unified input method server by input method provider, now, be equivalent to diverse network and can share this input method server, certainly, now first hardware device just need to send to request the server of system separately, and then the server of each system sends to input method server by request again.For example, Set Top Box, when sending words conversion request, first can send to digi-TV centre server by typing content by cable television system, and digi-TV centre server is transmitted to input method server by typing content again.Therefore, in this case, input method server is indirectly to receive the to be converted content of user in hardware device.

In addition, as can be seen from the above description, in embodiments of the present invention, not necessarily by internet, realize input method in network, any network can both be realized, as long as can realize the mutual of information.That is, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the network type of transmission, and the transmission equipments such as internet, Internet of Things, radio all can be used as intermediate conveyor process.Accordingly, hardware device can be Set Top Box, mobile communication terminal or controlling intelligent household appliances etc.

In a word, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a kind of input method service framework that is applicable to hardware, and the input method service of the more resource of needs is split into client and service end, middlely by concrete hardware net is interconnected, completes continuous input function.Client is responsible for communication and input and output, does not comprise concrete calculating, therefore can realize with minimum program, can be solidificated in by concrete hardware device rom the inside, also can make a special chip simultaneously, is not limited to other software service form.

Input method server is after obtaining word conversion result, just word conversion result information need to be returned to hardware device, but due to the difference of various hardware device configurations, also need to carry out some and process, so that the word conversion result that can normally demonstrate in hardware device.Below this is described in detail.

For example, some hardware device may not have the needs of Display of Chinese characters when realizing its major function, therefore, in hardware device, may not show character library (for the character library of display text), like this, allow to obtain Chinese character by input method server, due in hardware device not for the demonstration character library of Display of Chinese characters, the transformation result of input method server also cannot show in hardware device.

And for example, although exist and show character library in a little hardware devices, but consider the problem of resource occupation, may only there is GB2312-80 character library, 6763 the most frequently used Chinese characters in this character library, have only been included, have a lot of Chinese characters, the Chinese character (as " hello ") of just simplifying after GB2312-80 releases as part, the complex form of Chinese characters, Japanese and the Korean Chinese character etc. of part word (as " Rong " word of Chinese former premier Zhu Rongji), Taiwan and Hong Kong use name for, in not being embodied in.Like this, if the transformation result of input method server comprises the Chinese character outside GB2312-80 character library, in hardware device, also cannot show.

For another example, the user of some hardware device is accustomed to using Chinese-traditional, and what in its equipment, record may be only also Chinese-traditional character library, now, just should provide candidate item for Chinese-traditional, and simplified form of Chinese Character can return to this hardware device.

Therefore,, when practical application, need to, according to the configuration information of described hardware device, provide the candidate item information adapting with described hardware device configuration.During specific implementation, can be by input method server according to the configuration information of described hardware device, to described hardware device, return to the candidate item information adapting with described hardware device configuration, now, hardware device is after receiving candidate item information, need not do again special processing, just can directly according to candidate item information, to user, provide and can select for user the candidate item of input.Or, input method server itself also can not distinguished the configuration information of hardware device, adopt unified mode to send candidate item to different hardware device, by being solidificated in program in each hardware device, candidate item information is adjusted to the candidate item that the configuration with hardware device adapts automatically.Below introduce in detail by input method server according to the configuration information of described hardware device, to described hardware device, return to the situation of the candidate item information adapting with described hardware device configuration.

By input method server according to the configuration information of hardware device, to hardware device, return in the situation of word conversion result information, the configuration information of hardware device can be kept in input method server in advance, for example, in input method server, can preserve in advance the ID of each hardware device and the corresponding relation between configuration information, when receiving the request of certain hardware device, after obtaining transformation result, can be first according to the ID of this hardware device, obtain the configuration information of this hardware device, and then according to the configuration information of this hardware device, determine and return in which way transformation result.

Certainly, the configuration information of hardware device also can, when hardware device sends request, offer hardware device by hardware device.For example, hardware device, when sending words conversion request, except carrying No. D, the I of self, can also carry the configuration information of self.For example, if hardware device can be set up long connection with input method system, can be after setting up long connection, while sending first words conversion request, carry the configuration information of self, input method server can be preserved the ID of this hardware device and the corresponding relation between configuration information temporarily, afterwards within effective time, just can only send user's typing content, until exceeded the term of validity, or connect disconnection.If what hardware device was set up with input method system is short connection, when hardware device sends words conversion request at every turn, all need to carry the configuration information of self.

Wherein, the configuration information of hardware device can comprise the demonstration character library of loading, and input method server can return to transformation result relevant information according to the demonstration character library loading.

1) when loaded demonstration character library is GB2312-80, so during other Chinese characters outside transformation result comprises this character library, just can be by these Chinese character filterings, only for returning to transformation result relevant information in GB2312-80.Or, also this candidate item can be replaced with to the word within described demonstration character library, and return to hardware device; For example, can replace with other words under unisonance, or, the phonetic of this word, or, can also adopt the modes such as mosaic to offer hardware device, if " Zhe " be not within showing character library, can be replaced with " Ji Ji " hardware device is provided.

Concrete, in GB2312-80 character library, each Chinese character has the numbering of oneself, therefore, input method server, when returning to transformation result relevant information, can be to return to the numbering that each Chinese character is corresponding, after hardware device receives this transformation result relevant information, can in GB2312-80 character library, search according to the numbering of Chinese character corresponding Chinese character, and it is shown to user as candidate item.For example, user input be " hao ", the transformation result obtaining be " 1; 2, numbers 3, person of outstanding talent ... ", the numbering of supposing in GB2312-80 character library " good " is 89, " number " numbering be 90, the numbering of " person of outstanding talent " is 91, the transformation result relevant information that input method server returns to hardware device can be just " 1; 89 2,90 3,91 ...; then hardware device is searched and is shown word corresponding in character library according to numbering, and the word of described correspondence is shown to user.

Certainly, for what load in hardware device, be the situations such as Chinese-traditional character library, Japanese character library, also can process according to similar method.

2) while not comprising any character library in hardware device, input method server is after obtaining transformation result, formed word module information code corresponding to transformation result can be returned to hardware device, hardware device is after knowing the formed word module information code of transformation result, just can, in the situation that not possessing the character library of demonstration, demonstrate corresponding word.Concrete, hardware device can be drawn corresponding character bitmap according to described formed word module information code, and the bitmap of drafting is shown to user.

The Chinese character of take below is simply introduced the related content of formed word module information code as example.Conventionally; for Chinese character is exported on display or printer; conventionally the words such as Chinese character can be designed to dot chart by graphical symbol; just obtained corresponding dot matrix code (graphemic code; be formed word module information code); that is to say, as long as display knows that the formed word module information code of certain Chinese character just can show this Chinese character.Show the general employing of a Chinese character 16 * 16 dot matrix, or 24 * 24 dot matrix, or 48 * 48 dot matrix.The size of known Chinese character dot matrix, can calculate a required byte space taking of Chinese character of storage.Example: with Chinese character of 16 * 16 matrix representations, be exactly by each Chinese character 16 row, 16 points of every row represent, a point needs 1 binary code, 16 points need be with 16 binary codes (i.e. 2 bytes), and totally 16 row, so need 16 row * 2 byte/OK=32 bytes, i.e. Chinese character of 16 * 16 matrix representations, graphemic code need be used 32 bytes.For the font of Chinese character is shown to output, Chinese character information processing system need to be furnished with formed word module information code storehouse, also claims font storehouse, and it has concentrated the font information of whole Chinese characters.While needing Display of Chinese characters, go out the formed word module information code (being font information) of this Chinese character according to Hanzi internal code to formed word module information code library searching, then output, just can obtain Chinese character from output device.

That is to say, if loaded demonstration character library, be also just equivalent in advance the font code of each word is kept to this locality, when needs show certain word, its font code is taken out, then according to the dot matrix rule of font code representative, show and word can be presented on screen.Therefore, this mode that the formed word module information code of word is sent to hardware device, just be equivalent in this locality, not preserve in advance the formed word module information code of word, therefore, display cannot know how to show, as long as but this formed word module information code is sent to hardware device, the display of hardware device just can demonstrate corresponding word shape.

In addition,, because Chinese character may have multiple font, for same word, the formed word module information code under different fonts can be different.And due to the difference of monitor resolution, may be only for showing Song typeface Chinese character on some hardware device, also the hardware device of some higher-end may be able to show the Chinese character of regular script or other fonts, therefore, the configuration information of hardware device can also comprise the resolution information of display, according to this information, can judge the font information that can show in hardware device, and then determine to hardware device, return to which kind of formed word module information code.If the resolution of certain hardware device is lower, only can show Song typeface Chinese character,, when returning to the formed word module information code of transformation result, should return to the formed word module information code of the Song typeface, otherwise, if what return is the formed word module information code of regular script, on this hardware device, possibly cannot normally show.

In addition, in the higher hardware device of some self resolution, may always be and show regular script Chinese character, also this configuration information can be kept to input method server, or send to input method server, input method server just can return to the regular script formed word module information code of word.Certainly, in the situation that monitor resolution allows, when sending words conversion request, also can send the request that need to return to regular script Chinese character, input method server can be asked according to this, returns to the regular script formed word module information code of word.

Moreover if dot matrix number is different, the formed word module information code of word also can be different.Along with the continuous lifting of computing machine resolution, the display capabilities of Chinese character is in continuous enhancing, and the dot matrix number of Chinese character is in continuous lifting, 8*8 from early stage, develops into 12*12,16*16,24*24 etc., demonstration dot matrix that now main flow computer adopts is 48*48 normally.But a lot of low side devices, dot matrix number is lower.Therefore in order to allow these low side devices can use normally Chinese character, must there is the Chinese character base (what preserve in Chinese character base is the formed word module information code of each Chinese character) of corresponding dot matrix.Therefore input method server end is aspect Chinese character base, can store the corresponding Chinese character base of various dot matrix numbers, when hardware device sends input request to input method server, if in option be the Chinese character base that adopts input method server end larger (need demonstration character library that viewing hardware equipment self loads beyond word), need so the screen display parameter of self to issue server, that is to say, can support the Chinese character of much dot matrix numbers to show, input method server can, according to this information, be selected suitable Chinese character base.Generally, dot matrix has bit position sequential storage, so dot matrix is larger, and corresponding bit position is more, and it is just larger that storage space needs.

That is to say, at input method server end, can preserve a plurality of formed word module information codes storehouse, for example, can respectively preserve a formed word module information code storehouse for different monitor resolutions, can also respectively preserve a formed word module information code storehouse for different fonts, or, for different dot matrix numbers, respectively preserve a formed word module information code storehouse, etc.When specific implementation, can select corresponding formed word module information code storehouse according to the configuration information of hardware device, then, according to this formed word module information code storehouse, the formed word module information code of word is returned to described hardware device.

Certainly, in actual applications, also above-mentioned two situations can be combined, for example, when the demonstration character library loading in hardware device is GB2312-80 character library, user may also wish to obtain the word outside this demonstration character library.Now, can in hardware device, add an option and send this request, now, when input method server receives after this request, just the transformation result relevant information of all acquisitions all can be returned to hardware device.Wherein, if the word in GB2312-80 character library, by this word, the numbering in GB2312-80 character library returns to hardware device, meanwhile, if the word beyond GB2312-80 character library can return to hardware device by the formed word module information code of this word.

Certainly, except above-mentioned demonstration character library information, the configuration information of hardware device can also comprise the type of hardware device, according to the type of hardware device, can screen or the operation such as sequence candidate item, to improve the hit rate of preference.For example, for the hardware device of certain type, what user need to input conventionally is certain address, therefore, and after receiving the content to be converted of this hardware device transmission, can also be according to the type of this hardware device, only return to the candidate item that place name is relevant, or only use ground thesaurus to carry out the conversion of candidate item, or increase the weight of place name correlation candidate item, make it be arranged in other non-place name candidate item and represent before, etc.

It should be noted that, when hardware device is shown to candidate item after user, user just can select required candidate item, and after user selects, in the candidate item that hardware device can directly be selected user, screen display is shown.Or, also described user's selection information can be sent to described input method server, so that described input method server sends to corresponding candidate item the receiving device of appointment.For latter event, in actual applications, there is following a kind of application scenarios: user A need to send Chinese SMS to user B, and Chinese input method is not installed on the mobile phone of user A, now, user A can input the phonetic of Chinese character in short message text, selects " being converted to Chinese character " option simultaneously, and clicks transmission button (addressee people is user B); Because user has selected " being converted to Chinese character ", therefore, this information can be sent to input method server, and the phonetic that input method server sends according to user carries out words conversion, and the candidate item obtaining after conversion is returned to user A; User A is after having selected certain candidate item, because user A need to send note to user B, need on the mobile phone of user A, not show the concrete information content, only the information content need to be shown to user B, therefore, the mobile phone of user A can directly send to input method server by the selection information of user A, and now, the Chinese character that input method server just can directly be selected user A sends on the mobile phone of user B.

It should be noted that, for example, if a hardware device that there is no a Presentation Function (, certain hardware device may not have display screen), candidate item can be offered to a display device being connected with this hardware device shows, such as, postulated mechanism top box does not have Presentation Function, candidate item can be offered to corresponding televisor and show.
