Abstract

The present invention relates to a leader phoneme coding method which adopts a leader double-spelling keyboard and greatly improves the traditional Pinyin coding scheme. In the coding of characters and words, the simplest strokes or tone symbols are used as leader codes, and then combined with homophone specifiers and the characteristics of Hanzi phrase forming, so that the coding method based on Pinyin input can realize touch typing and high-speed input for Hanzi, and no exchange is needed for the mixed input of Chinese characters and western letters. For directly inputting a manuscript, the coding method can keep consistent with user's thought.

Description

Prefix phoneme code of Chinese characters and the keyboard thereof

The computing machine input of Chinese character information has obtained encouraging progress in recent years, various input schemes emerge in an endless stream, but several main input method through practice test all is difficult to reach simultaneously simple, popular, can realizes the high speed touch system, thinking when directly importing manuscript with people is consistent, not needing to carry out Chinese and western languages when importing on keyboard switches, and have enough big many-sided requirements such as basic vocabulary amount, adopt the coding input scheme to mainly contain two classes, font encoding input scheme and Pinyin coding input scheme at present.

Most typical in the font encoding input scheme is five Chinese character schemes being delivered by Mr. Wang Yongmin in 1985, its repetition rate of coding is low, code length is shorter, obtain professional entry personnel's favorable comment, but this input method more complicated, common people are difficult to grasp, owing to will split Chinese character according to radical, thinking when people are directly imported manuscript is disturbed bigger, carries out also must inserting blocked operation when Chinese and western languages mixes input on the big keyboard of standard.

Most typical in the Pinyin coding input scheme is by the spelling input method of the 6th research institute of the Ministry of Electronics Industry in the CC-DOS that released in 1983, later on the most influential is that the associative Chinese character system of being released calculates in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Pinyin coding input scheme biggest advantage is simple, popular, consistent with the requirement of popularizing Beijing pronunciation, but because the unisonance repeated code is too many, so input efficiency is low, however, spelling input method is still present most popular input method, associative Chinese character is to utilize the characteristics of Chinese character group speech that spelling input method is improved, but when the input content can't be associated, the shortcoming of it and spelling input method is the same, be exactly when association, it also depends on screen and may choose the composition of word-building from a plurality of, therefore input speed is subjected to people's the physiological restriction of instant response speed, yet must insert blocked operation simultaneously when Chinese and western languages mixes input.

Though the improvement project of Pinyin coding input also occurred, add serial number again as behind double spelling code, adding tone mark, increase the complicacy of input on the contrary, and be difficult to determine serial number, Chinese and western languages mixes input and also needs to switch.

Characteristics of the present invention are: input method and keyboard thereof that a kind of computer Chiense character code is provided, stroke leading character and tone leading character are based on same coding rule, two class independent input mode have been formed, it has compared following tangible advantage with most of phonetic input schemes: one, up to now, nearly all phonetic plan all is first yard of coding with phonetic alphabet, when therefore Chinese and western languages mixes input, have to insert blocked operation, make troubles to the user, but this coded input method can be avoided this shortcoming.Two, most of phonetic plans all will depend on repeated code and select, and the number increase with input code is presented at highlight one by one to Chinese characters in common use usually, utilize numerical key to choose, the shortcoming of this input mode is: be subjected to people's the physiological restriction of instant response speed, after the repeated code number that at every turn will choose surpasses seven, from psychologic angle, choosing efficient can obviously reduce, operating personnel's eyes be unable to do without screen simultaneously, be easy to make the people to feel tired, owing to be difficult for realizing touch system, input speed is difficult to improve, this input method and above-mentioned working method have basic difference, at first the Chinese character of percent among the standard GB 2312-80 about 70 (overwhelming majority is Chinese characters in common use) shows at highlight according to needs not, according to the Hanzi frequency count statistics, these non-repeat code Chinese characters just can satisfy more than 99 percent of Chinese character frequency.In this input method, what disclose district's demonstration is the Chinese character that is of little use mostly, this is just in time opposite with way in the past, and the number overwhelming majority that its repeated code shows is less than seven, this shows, this input method does not rely on the screen prompt district substantially, can realize touch system, as long as the member can expertly grasp this input method among the operator, can make to be entered as and be a kind of mechanical motion, therefore the input speed than immediate reaction formula increases, three, owing to do not need frequent selecting coincident codes, also do not have complicated fractionation Chinese character process (especially word input method is all the more so), so the thinking when this input method and people import manuscript is consistent substantially, this point is that most input methods are unapproachable.

The present invention is the input method that a kind of words is laid equal stress on, the general type of word input is leading character+sound sign indicating number+rhythm sign indicating number+while block demal, if the user has the most general knowledge and the meeting writing Chinese characters of phonetic, just being easy to grasp with the stroke leading character is first yard input method, because four kinds of strokes of stroke leading character, the point, horizontal, perpendicular, cast aside, it is the first stroke of wanting writing Chinese characters, outline is understood the people of the Chinese phonetic alphabet, sound sign indicating number and rhythm sign indicating number are not difficult to grasp, for convenience of the relatively poor people of phonetic degree, can all annotate corresponding Chinese character on the keyboard each simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, this is a kind of effective way, sees accompanying drawing 1 and accompanying drawing 2, and phonetically similar word distinguish yard of the present invention is also relatively more special, this distinguish yard is a feature of taking from input Chinese character itself, that is, the pronunciation initial of the minimum Chinese character that is associated with this Chinese character finishing touch, or the phonetic notation of the special radical that is associated with finishing touch, Here it is character area demal, if behind character area demal mark, also have phonetically similar word, they are summed up as the digital block demal so, select usefulness for repeated code, for example:

＜bright desirable/mcy＜China desirable/hps＜people desirable/rgr

＜behaviour〉desirable-chm＜all〉desirable-dup＜this〉desirable ^*Uez

Wherein, above first yard all take from the first stroke of writing (first stroke represented in the * asterisk be a little, " this " word for example), second yard is initial consonant, trigram is represented simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable (can find) separately respectively on keyboard distribution accompanying drawing, represent respectively from finishing touch for the 4th yard and recall the pronunciation initial of the minimum Chinese character that finds or the Chinese phonetic script of special radical (what upward " this " and " all " word the example was just got is the radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries phonetic notations), sometimes the minimum Chinese character that will look for is exactly the Chinese character itself that will import, for example Shang Mian " people " word is exactly like this, as long as everybody pays attention to a little, just can find, it is quite easy finding out alphabetical distinguish yard, because (special radical phonetic notation is few in number for the certain rules of having chosen of distinguish yard, only there be " San " to get s, " Xiangxi " gets d, " Jie " and " Fu " get Jie etc. several, and as easy as rolling off a logly remember), so the input method of word almost need not to memorize mechanically, all be to adopt alphabetical distinguish yard in the top example, the overwhelming majority through alphabetical distinguish yard mark is Chinese characters in common use, and use always or non-common Chinese character by the normally inferior of numerical code differentiation, this code Design is preceding two yards and does not point out repeat code Chinese character, trigram just provides prompting, at this moment two kinds of selections can be arranged, if select numerical key (usually less than seven), what import is exactly the pairing Chinese character of highlight, if selection letter key, what import is the Chinese characters in common use that do not rely on prompting, this is most of situations of input, therefore the present invention utilizes the regularity of coding itself, substantially do not rely on screen prompt and choose Chinese character, this can realize touch system and import necessary feature at a high speed that the example of digital block demal is as follows: (occurring after importing trigram) just

/ rg1: the ninth of the ten Heavenly Stems; 2; Pregnant 3; Thread 4; Ren 5; Prepare food

If the word of pointing out above, can directly import a number word select gets, if that input is " people ", then as long as continued input r, phonetic alphabet all are lowercases in the top example, the present invention can allow that capitalization or upper and lower case letter mix input in fact, this also is that other coding is difficult to realize, the present invention can realize not having the Chinese and western languages input of switching in addition, its reason is very simple, as long as because keyed in any one leading character, what just show following input is encode Chinese characters for computer, because the code length of this coding is certain, as regular as clockwork again, so be easy to judge the end of coding, naturally just can distinguish input is Chinese or western language, and 26 letter keys of other handlebar are as the coding of first yard of input, be that phonetic or font encoding all can't be accomplished the switching of Chinese and western languages input nothing, in the top example, as long as first yard an of input is changed to corresponding tone mark, just can obtain with the tone is the input coding of leading character, for some Chinese character, tone is not unique, this coding regulation, if certain Chinese character has a plurality of tones, get its minimum tone when then importing.

In order further to improve input speed; thinking protection when directly importing manuscript with people is consistent; the invention provides the compiling method of speech: speech is divided into two classes; two words and custom words; two words are the most basic in the Chinese character speech; most important; it also is the maximum speech of quantity; therefore the special definition of the present invention two word coding methods are: leading character+sound sign indicating number+rhythm sign indicating number+leading character+sound sign indicating number+rhythm sign indicating number; have six code lengths; it is compared with word code, has saved the phonetically similar word distinguish yard, makes input seem more natural like this; the accompanying drawing that distributes with keyboard combines; more than 30,000 two-character word (can be more) in the Modern Chinese dictionary of can encoding easily, and the repetition rate of coding only has about 2 percent, and its repeated code number is also less than seven.

For multi-character words, the invention provides custom code, its code length is four, promptly, leading character+pronunciation initial+leading character+pronunciation initial, just get the feature of any two Chinese characters in the multi-character words, generally getting in the multi-character words aspect ratio of first word and the last character better remembers, the pronunciation initial can be taken from 26 letters, therefore can provide maximum 26 * 26 * 4 * 4=10816 the coding of a no repeated code,, be designed to reload if these custom words all are placed on the disk, so, these more than ten thousand custom words can re-define in a plurality of files according to each Career Information, and are each as long as select that file of relevant specialty to use, concerning most of users, having more than 30,000 general two words and more than 10,000 custom words to use simultaneously, is enough with regard to the input of speech.

The user can adopt and improve input speed in the following method, uses word input method as far as possible, even can be defined as custom words to the most frequently used general two words, reduces the mean code length of input thus, only adopts the word input method to need Chinese character of four yards inputs approximately.

The present invention also comprises two kinds of keyboard distributions that match and use with this coding, wherein accompanying drawing 1 distributes for implementing the used standard universal keyboard of this encoding scheme, accompanying drawing 2 distributes for implementing the used keyboard special of this encoding scheme, implementing this programme on the standard universal keyboard requires keyboard must have numeric keypad, and 7 on the former big keyboard, 8,9,0 four key positions, be defined as respectively: point, horizontal, perpendicular, cast aside and one, two, three, the four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation, 26 letter keys are defined as spelling keyboard, the user of phonetic foundation is weak is preferably in Chinese character corresponding on the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable sidenote for convenience, and the people who did not learn phonetic so also can import according to phonetic notation association very soon, be more effective enforcement this programme, the present invention has designed keyboard special, considers that the usage frequency of leading character is the highest when carrying out a large amount of input in Chinese, therefore, can be specially for leading character increases by four key positions, the central part of these four keys arrangements at keyboard, four non-letter keys the middle two rows letter key on capable are arranged in the both sides of SPACE key, its letter key still is defined as spelling keyboard, constitutes keyboard special thus.

Illustrated embodiments of the present invention has three kinds:

1. the Chinese operating system that is used for computing machine, owing to must not switch by Chinese and western languages when the present invention imports, except having above-mentioned advantage, should be noted that the system for computer software overwhelming majority is to use english command and has english-speaking environment, software is the whole mankind's common wealth, this situation can not change, the software that Chinesized does not adopt Chinese character order usually yet, so adopt the present invention partly will keep harmonious relation with the english system software environment as the input of Chinese operating system.

2. be used for the Chinese and western languages typewriter, adopt the keyboard special scheme of coding of the present invention and accompanying drawing 2, can make desirable Chinese and western languages typewriter.

3. as Chinese terminal, Chinese terminal in particular as UNIX operating system, because the operational order of UNIX and its edit commands are responsive (being that the upper and lower case letter meaning is different) to upper and lower case letter, and the present invention need not to carry out the Chinese and western languages switching, can be convenient especially when using like this.
