Description

Input method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to input method field, particularly a kind of input method and device.
Background technology
Input Chinese is accomplished input through spelling input method usually on mobile phone at present.Spelling input method needs the numeric keypad on user's operating handset to realize the phonetic input.Numeric keypad on the mobile phone can be the physical keyboard of mobile phone, also can be 9 key boards that soft keyboard simulates on the handset touch panel.This numeric keypad comprises 1~9 totally 9 digital keys, and 26 letters are combined on 9 digital keys.For example, ABC is combined on the digital keys 2, and DEF is combined on the digital keys 3 or the like.
When the user uses spelling input method when Chinese input on mobile phone, this input process is specific as follows: 1) user uses the numeric keypad on the mobile phone to key in keystroke sequence, i.e. string number is like " 96779 "; 2) in the phonetic that the pinyin candidate district has shown, confirm first syllable that " 9 " are corresponding, as selecting to confirm syllable " W "; 3) in candidate's phrase that the phrase candidate regions has shown, confirm the speech that this syllable " W " is corresponding, as selecting to confirm speech " I "; 4) in the phonetic that the pinyin candidate district has shown, confirm second syllable that " 6 " are corresponding then, and in the phrase candidate regions, confirm the speech that this second syllable is corresponding; 5) by that analogy, to the last a syllable and corresponding speech thereof are accomplished and are confirmed, obtain the corresponding phrase of this keystroke sequence, and this phrase is presented in the edit box, after confirming respectively, obtain " we are friends ".
In above-mentioned input in Chinese process, phonetic can produce ambiguity.The candidate pinyin corresponding such as keystroke sequence " 96 " has: " W ' M ", " X ' M ", " Y ' M ", " Z ' M ", " X ' N " wait letter to piece together initial consonant and syllables such as " Wo ", " Yo "; Therefore the pinyin candidate item of first syllable has totally 6 of " W ", " X ", " Y ", " Z ", " Wo ", " Yo ", and these 6 is the ambiguity pinyin candidate item of keystroke sequence " 96 " after 0 affirmation.If next selected " Wo " or " Yo ", then input has just been accomplished in " 96 " after 1 affirmation, has only 1 syllable in this case.If selected some among " W ", " X ", " Y ", " Z "; Then accomplish after 1 affirmation as yet " 96 "; Second syllable also has totally 3 of pinyin candidate item " M ", " N ", " O "; These 3 is the ambiguity pinyin candidate item of keystroke sequence " 96 " after 1 affirmation, and 2 syllables are arranged in this case.
In the existing mobile phone phonetic input method input process, the selection affirmation process of phonetic and phrase hockets.After the user had selected an ambiguity pinyin candidate item, at this moment, the user must then confirm this and confirm the phrase that syllable is corresponding that then, the ambiguity pinyin candidate item that input method just can produce next syllable to be confirmed supplies the user to continue to confirm.For example; The user keys in keystroke sequence " 96779 " on mobile phone; After the user has confirmed first syllable " W "; Input method procedure obtains coded strings " W ' 6799 ", at this moment, and 6 of the syllable " W ", " X ", " Y ", " Z ", " Wo ", " Yo " that remain first button " 9 " correspondence that ambiguity pinyin candidate district shows; The ambiguity pinyin candidate item that can not show the syllable to be confirmed that next button " 6 " is corresponding; Have only certain phrase candidate item of in the phrase candidate regions, having selected coded strings " W ' 6779 " correspondence as the user, after " I have nothing to do ", " I do not say ", " Venice ", " us " etc., ambiguity pinyin candidate district just can point out the ambiguity pinyin candidate item of the corresponding syllable to be confirmed of next button " 6 " according to this candidate word group-select operation.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that above-mentioned prior art has following shortcoming at least:
The user need be switched focus back and forth between pinyin candidate district and phrase candidate regions; Confirm ambiguity phonetic and phrase respectively, can't confirm continuously ambiguity phonetic, and; This blocked operation; Make user's button or touch screen operation can become many, notice also will be switched between ambiguity pinyin candidate district and phrase candidate regions back and forth, causes poor user experience.In addition; After the user selected ambiguity pinyin candidate item, input method procedure all can regenerate the phrase candidate item with the unacknowledged coded strings in back according to the syllable of this time affirmation, because have only a syllable through confirming at every turn; The coded strings of back is not all passed through cutting and affirmation; And be to generate the phrase candidate item with exhaustive mode, therefore, the time cost that input method procedure generates the phrase candidate item can increase; And have a large amount of in the phrase candidate item that generates usually and the unwanted candidate's phrase of user, thereby make the accuracy of candidate's phrase reduce.When the required phrase of user during not the homepage of candidate regions or former pages, find the required page turn over operation of this phrase can become many, cause input efficiency low.
