Description

Keyboard layout changing method and method of adjustment
The application for the applying date be that April 18, application number in 2008 are 200810036302.9, denomination of invention is the dividing an application of application for a patent for invention of " a kind of system that realizes the live keyboard layout ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to electronic device field, particularly electronic device information input technology field refers to that specifically a kind of user is to the system of the live keyboard the realized layout of electronic equipment input text.
Background technology
In the modern life, continuous development along with integrated circuit technique, various electronic equipments have appearred, on these numerous electronic equipments (as palm PC, smart mobile phone, embedded system, pocket computer etc.), owing to be subjected to volume, the restriction of factors such as manufacturing cost can't be equipped with full-scale hardware keyboards, thereby imports normally full of challenges at this kind equipment.
Traditional mobile phone or portable set keyboard adopt the button of compound a plurality of characters, by supporting software and the lexicon file that carries, dope the user according to user's input keystroke sequence and want the word imported.A kind of common input method is that a specific keystroke sequence can correspond to a plurality of words regularly to keystroke sequence structure index tree.When user key-press, search index tree according to keystroke sequence, find corresponding a plurality of candidate word and be presented on the screen and select for the user.This method is closely related with the layout of keyboard on dictionary configuration, just need re-construct dictionary configuration even redesign software whenever keyboard layout changes.Especially for the software keyboard on the touch-screen, this method dirigibility is relatively poor, and major defect has three: the first, can't change keyboard layout flexibly.If the layout of letter changes, for example from QWERTY standard computer keyboard layout (beautiful, Asian countries uses always), when switching to AZERTY keyboard layout (European countries are commonly used), just need thoroughly rewriting software and lexicon file; The second, can't intelligent correction.If the user has pushed the wrong one or more buttons, just can't demonstrate the word after the correction; The 3rd, can't import the word that does not have in the dictionary easily, some names for example, place name, the Email address, specific term, etc.
Simultaneously, because the keyboard size of dwindling, the user is easy to press the wrong button, and especially presses on the contiguous key.Therefore realize that at software the function of automatic error correction is of great use.A kind of common automatic error correction method is to utilize to search list of common error and realize automatic error correction function.For example, the user often is combined into " csn " with " can " mistake, because on the keyboard of QWERTY layout, letter " a " and " s " is easy to push the wrong on position adjacent.This method is by consulting a predefined list of common error, and comprising wrong keystroke sequence and correct word, for example " csn "-" can " is revised as correct word with this with wrong keystroke sequence.But the limitation of this method is apparent: it can only judge limited known error type, can't effectively identify for more generally contiguous key errors, and erroneous judgement easily.
Another kind of automatic error correction method is by judging the position of screen contact, calculate it to the distance between each key, and calculates Weighted distance between keystroke sequence and each the possible word with this, chooses the word Weighted distance minimum, in dictionary at last.This method is feasible in theory, but too complicated in practice, because the computing power on the general portable set is limited, is difficult to realize.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming of the prior art, a kind of system that can change keyboard layout flexibly and have the intelligent correction function is provided.Compare classic method, advantage of the present invention is embodied in the following aspects:
The first, system of the present invention can adopt various keyboard layouts flexibly.For equipment vendors, all need to spend a large amount of manpower and materials at each newspeak or input method and transform original software and input system, or purchase new software.And after the employing native system, only need define new keyboard layout simply, need not to change software kit.This localization for multi-lingual version provides faster scheme more easily.Simultaneously, for the user, can be according to self use habit customizing keyboard layout, practicality more flexibly.
The second, system of the present invention can realize a kind of more effective, more practical error correction method, solves the problem that the user often presses the wrong button on the keyboard that dwindles.Two kinds of relative and traditional error correction methods, system of the present invention can be under the actual computation ability of conventional portable equipment, error correction all sidedly fast, and can allow the user that the error correction scope is set, be a kind of error correction method of real practicality.
The 3rd, system of the present invention can be according to the context environmental of text, in conjunction with grammatical analysis, judges the candidate word of suitable current linguistic context, improves the accuracy of candidate word.
According to an aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of for the system to the live keyboard the realized layout of electronic equipment input text, comprised the load module for detection of user's input; Be connected to the layout map module of described load module, described layout map module is according to current keyboard layout, and user's input at least one times is mapped to corresponding at least one character set; The lexicon module that is used for the storage word candidate; Be connected to the candidate word module of described lexicon module and described layout map module, described candidate word module generates list entries according to corresponding a plurality of character sets, and finds out possible candidate word and with its ordering according to list entries; And be connected to described candidate word module and export the output module of described candidate word.
According to another aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of for the method to the live keyboard the realized layout of electronic equipment input text, comprised the 1st step of waiting for user input signal; User input signal is converted to a character set according to current keyboard layout, and described character set comprises the 2nd step of the possible corresponding characters of described user's input; The 3rd step that described character set is added current list entries; According to described current list entries, the 4th step that generates candidate word and sort by priority; The 5th step that shows described candidate word.

Embodiment
Before describing in detail according to embodiments of the invention, what should be noted that is that described embodiment mainly is the method step relevant with input text in electronic equipment and the combination of apparatus assembly.Therefore, corresponding device assembly and method step have showed by ordinary symbol in the accompanying drawings in position, and only show the details relevant with understanding embodiments of the invention, in order to avoid because saying that for having benefited from those of ordinary skills of the present invention apparent those details have blured present disclosure.
In this article, such as a left side and right, upper and lower, preceding and after, first and second and so on relational terms only is used for distinguishing an entity or action and another entity or action, and not necessarily requires or hint this relation of any reality between this entity or the action or in proper order.Term " comprises ", " comprising " or any other variant are intended to contain comprising of nonexcludability, make thus and comprise that process, method, article or the equipment of a series of key elements not only comprise these key elements, but also comprise other key elements of clearly not listing, perhaps be the intrinsic key element of this process, method, article or equipment.
For the purpose of this disclosure, term " keyboard " is generalized definition, comprises any input block of determining the zone that has, including but not limited to the software keyboard on hardware mechanical type keyboard, hardware inductive keyboard, the touch-screen etc.The embodiments of the invention acquiescence is the example explanation with the software keyboard on the touch-screen, but persons of ordinary skill in the art may appreciate that the mentioned method and system of the present invention also can be applied to hardware keyboards.
1. basic function and operation
Figure 1A has described keyboard system 100 and the carrier portable set 101 thereof that can realize the live keyboard layout involved in the present invention.The user is behind button on the keyboard 110, and its input content is presented in text filed 102.Keyboard 110 is the QWERTY layout, has comprised 26 English alphabets, numeral, symbol and space bar, and each button can represent three characters.Figure 1B has described the keyboard 120 of another kind of layout, is singly-bound QWERTY layout, and each button represents a character, between two keys numbers and symbols can be arranged.Fig. 1 C has described the keyboard 130 of another kind of layout, is the AZERTY layout, and each button can represent three characters.Fig. 1 D has described the keyboard 140 of another kind of layout, is 9 key layouts, and each button can represent three to four letters and a numeral, widespread use on cell phone keyboard.Fig. 1 E has described a kind of keyboard 150 of User Defined layout, and each button can represent three characters, and the content of character and order are customized according to use habit by the user.
For the purpose of this disclosure, too complicated for fear of accompanying drawing sign, hereinafter will be with first capable each key of central character mark of each key in each keyboard layout.For example, with the button 111 in the upper left corner of keyboard among key " qw " sign Figure 1A; Button 121 with the upper right corner of keyboard among key " p " sign Figure 1B; Button with the lower left corner of keyboard among key " wx " the marked graph 1C; Button 141 with keyboard last cell among key " wxyz " the marked graph 1D.When the sign of the repetition of method definition accordingly in same figure, occurring, then use the sequence number sign to distinguish, to guarantee the uniqueness of this identification method.
It is pointed out that method described in the invention also can apply to other languages except English, other keyboard layout, and particular content and position alphabetical, digital, symbol also all can change arbitrarily.
Get back to Figure 1A, when the user clicked key on the key entry area territory and produces keystroke sequence, system was presented at candidate's word in the candidate region 103, can show the candidate word of giving tacit consent to simultaneously in text filed.When the user clicks candidate word, or when pressing acknowledgement key when space bar or some punctuation mark (for example), selected word will input in text filed 102.
For example, in Figure 1A, when user's order is pressed key " ty ", key " ui ", during key " er ", system finds all words of corresponding this key sequence in the dictionary, and with its sequencing display in candidate region 103.Since word " tie ", " turn ", " tired ", " yield " has the highest word frequency, so be presented at first page that candidate word is tabulated.Wherein " tie " simultaneously by default candidate word be also shown in text filed in, and be unacknowledged text still with special format (as underscore) to show it.When the user pressed space bar, this candidate word just was identified and inputs in the text.Because the user is when button and the concrete character of each button representative of indeterminate appointment, but, therefore be called " fuzzy input " by the dictionary matching candidate word.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, the user can also accurately import.For example, with reference to Figure 1A, on the keyboard 110 of touch-screen, the user can decontrol after key " ty " presses and move to left, accurately input alphabet " t "; In key " ui " relieving of pressing and move to right, accurate input alphabet " i "; In key " er " relieving of pressing and move to right, accurate input alphabet " r ".What this moment, system found is the word of all " tir " beginnings: " tired ", " tiring ", " tire ", " tirade ".
According to some embodiment of the present invention, the user can be by symbol or the numeral of downward sliding contact enter key below.For example, with reference to Figure 1A, the user can move down the contact at key " gh ", then input digit " 3 ".The user just need not to switch to special-purpose figure pattern or pattern of symbol like this.
Again for example, with reference to Figure 1B, the user can be at key " q " or key " s " or zone sliding contact downwards in the middle of it, between the two symbol of input "; ".
According to some embodiment of the present invention, symbol and numeral also can become the part in the word.For example " I ' m ", " I ' ll ", " let ' s ", " C++ ", " part-time " etc.The user can make things convenient for topotype to stick with paste incoming symbol or numeral at same keyboard mode, and does not need to switch to other pattern of symbol.For example, with reference to Figure 1A, on keyboard 110, single quotation marks " ' " on key " ui ", the user only need press key " ui " in proper order, key " ui ", key " m/ ", system just can find word " I ' m " and it is presented in the candidate region.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, when the user wants to change keyboard layout, when for example changing the 9 key layouts of Fig. 1 D into from the QWERTY layout of Figure 1A, only need by a predefined action, can realize quick switching.For example, on the keyboard of touch-screen, the user can slide into right-hand member from the left end of keyboard area rapidly with finger, and then the QWERTY layout moves right and shifts out the right-hand member of screen, and 9 key layouts slip into from the left end of screen, produce the dynamic effect that links up.Same, the user also can switch to the singly-bound QWERTY layout shown in Figure 1B, or the AZERTY layout shown in Fig. 1 C, or the User Defined layout shown in Fig. 1 E.The mode of switching layout can have a variety of: can detect user's gesture, can use a specific button, also can control by sound.In this handoff procedure, because layout and the dictionary search function of system are separate, so can use identical lexicon file and software.
Because on less keyboard area, the user presses on the adjacent key position through regular meeting, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, can correct this mistake automatically according to dictionary when input.For example, in Figure 1B, when the user thinks button " t ", pressed mistakenly probably on the key " f ".System can search key " f " letter " r " on every side, " g ", " d ", " v " also judges possible correct word according to the input before the user.In an embodiment of the present invention, even the letter of all inputs of user all is wrong, system also may find out correct word.For example, the user has imported " v ", and " i ", " p ", " l ", user's candidate word " book " can be pointed out by system, because " v ", " i ", " p ", " l " is respectively " b ", " o ", " o ", the contiguous letter of " k ".What deserves to be mentioned is, when character position is separated by greatly, need to enlarge the scope (as error correction of two keys of being separated by) of error correction.But the spinoff that enlarges the error correction scope is that candidate word quantity can increase.In order to solve this contradiction, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the error correction scope can be regulated according to user preference.The user can be arranged on institute by carrying out error correction in the great scope of letter, for example error correction in all adjacent letters, or only error correction in the adjacent letter in the left and right sides, or only error correction in neighbouring letter, or error correction between two letters of being separated by (as " t " and " u "), perhaps not error correction.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, can select the related term of candidate word rapidly.For example, with reference to figure 2A, when candidate word 211 " compare " appears in the candidate region, the user goes up downward sliding contact at " compare ", then " compare " corresponding related term, " comparing ", " compared " appear in keyboard area, " compares " and " comparison ".The user clicks one of them related term and it can be inputed to text filed.In a lot of language, this related term is very common.For example the verb in English has a lot of different tenses, and noun has plural form, and a word can have multiple part of speech etc.Embodiments of the invention can get up these word associations, thereby can extend to other related terms rapidly from a candidate word as the user.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, can and provide the phrase prediction according to the context relation candidate word of text.For example, with reference to figure 2B, the user needs input " am " after having imported " I " before, but presses when input " m " on the contiguous key " bn ".At this moment, system is correlation rule based on context, and judging " I am " is common phrases, and it is higher than original candidate word " an " priority therefore to adjust candidate word 221 " am ".In a lot of language, the phenomenon of this phrase, specific collocation, custom grammer is very common, and therefore the probability of occurrence of a word not only depends on the word frequency of this word, more depend on and this word and context between the probability of arranging in pairs or groups.In this example, although " an " be one than the higher word of " am " word frequency, almost always " am " that after I, follows, but not " an ".Therefore based on context select suitable word can improve the validity of selecting word greatly, and then improve input efficiency.Again for example, with reference to figure 2C, the user has imported word 231 " look " afterwards, predicts the candidate word " forward to " that forms the phrase collocation with " look " automatically in the candidate word tabulation, and " at ", " into ", " for " selects for the user.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, can provide context relation and phrase association on the basis of related term.For example, with reference to figure 2D, when the user had imported the related term " looking " of " look ", the candidate word zone still can dope " look " corresponding phrase collocation " forward to ", " at ", " into ", " for " etc.
2. system architecture and principle
Fig. 3 has described the general block diagram that is suitable for a kind of portable equipment 300 of the present invention.Input media 301, display device 302 and memory storage 303 link to each other with processor 304 by electronic circuit.Input media 301 can be keyboard or touch pad; Display device 302 can be liquid crystal display; Memory storage 303 can be any memory media, random-access memory (RAM) for example, read-only memory (ROM), flash memory (Flash), hard disk etc.; Processor 304 can be CPU or dedicated IC chip.Under a lot of situations, input media 301 also may be synthetic with display device 302, as touch-screen.Memory storage 303 can be preserved all software, comprises operating system 311 and the keyboard software 310 that the present invention relates to etc., and alternatively, memory storage also can comprise other application programs 312, as text editor etc.
Keyboard system of the present invention is to be managed by keyboard software 310.Fig. 4 has described a kind of optimum decision system structure 400 of this keyboard software.This system mainly by load module 401, layout map module 402, module 403, candidate word module 404, lexicon module 405 and output module 406 be set form.
Load module 401 is responsible for detecting user's input, for example user's button, the contact action on touch-screen etc., and export layout map module 402 to.The layout map module is mapped to this with user's input and imports corresponding character set, and export candidate word module 404 to according to current keyboard layout.Lexicon module 405 is responsible for candidate word module 404 word in the dictionary is provided.Candidate word module 404 be responsible for will be all previous character set generation list entries, and find out possible candidate word and with its ordering according to list entries.Output module 406 is responsible for exporting candidate word to equipment in a certain way, selects for the user.Module 403 is set has stored user and default, for example whether enable error correction, whether detect context etc., use for layout map module 402 and candidate word module 404.
Fig. 5 has described the main flow process 500 of keyboard software master routine when finishing user's input and select word, possesses following steps: wait for user's input (step 501); Judge whether to confirm operation (step 502); If, the word of input validation in text filed, and empty list entries (step 503); If not, in layout map module 402, generate this input corresponding characters set (step 504); With the character set formation list entries (step 505) of the character set of this input with input before; In this module of candidate, generate the candidate word tabulation, the row major level of going forward side by side ordering (step 506); The candidate word tabulation (step 507) that output is upgraded.
For step 502, load module 401 judges whether this input confirms operation.Confirm that operation can be to press space bar or confirm strong (selected acquiescence candidate word), or directly click candidate word, or by directionkeys choose press space bar after the candidate word or confirm strong, or inputting punctuation mark selected acquiescence candidate word automatically, or other operations of appointments in advance arbitrarily.
For step 504, layout map module 402 can be mapped as the corresponding characters set with this input according to current keyboard layout.Comprising in this character set may be corresponding to all character of this input.For example, when the user pressed key " qw " in the qwerty keyboard layout shown in Figure 1A, character set comprised fuzzy input character " q ", " w " on this key.And when error correction is enabled in setting, also can comprise the character on the adjacent keys in the character set, as " a ", " s ", " e ".
For step 505, candidate word module 404 can join the character set of this input in the list entries.For example, in the qwerty keyboard layout shown in Figure 1A, after the user successively pressed key " ty ", key " ui " and key " er ", list entries comprised the character set of three inputs: { " t ", " y " }, { " u ", " i " }, { " e ", " r " }.Subsequently, candidate word module 404 can search out possible candidate word according to various possible combinations, for example " tie ", " turn " etc. in lexicon module 405.At last, can candidate word be sorted according to preferred sequence.In some preferred embodiment,, but the highest candidate word of assigned priority is the acquiescence candidate word, namely when the user imports space or other symbols, confirms that automatically the acquiescence candidate word is to be input to text filed word.
For step 506, output module 406 can be presented at the candidate word tabulation after upgrading on the screen, selects for the user.In certain embodiments, the acquiescence candidate word can be presented at text filed in, and come out with the highlighted mark of a kind of special format.
Get back to Fig. 4, describe the implementation method of each module in the present embodiment below in detail.
Load module 401 detects user's actuation of keys, and related data record and the output of button each time.The related data of one-touch can including but not limited to:
The user presses the start position of lower contact
The user decontrols the final position of contact
The track of user's current collector
The residence time of user's holding contact
For example, in Figure 1A, when the user pressed key " qw " and move to right the back relieving, the output of load module 401 can comprise the terminal point coordinate that the user presses the starting point coordinate of this key and decontrols this key.
Get back to Fig. 4, module 403 is set comprises the various configuration informations relevant with system operation, comprise that the user uses preference, system works pattern etc.For example, the user can close error correction.All just can not be repaired by the mistake to adjacent key so; And for example, the user can select the rank of error correction: only correct the mistake of neighbouring button, only correct the mistake of the mistake of left and right sides adjacent key, the mistake of correcting peripheral adjacent key or correction adjacent two layers button (as being corrected to " d " in the singly-bound QWERTY layout shown in Figure 1B by " g ", " f ", " h ", " j ").It is optional that module 403 is set.
Get back to Fig. 4, layout map module 402 has three major functions.
How accurately first function of layout map module 402 is definition and the various layout parameter that store different keyboards, and which character is for example arranged on the keyboard, and which character is compounded on the key, character on the options button etc.For example, in Figure 1A, letter " q ", " w ", and symbol "; " a multiplexing key " qw ".Fig. 6 has then described a kind of data structure of describing key " qw " in internal memory, wherein can be including (but not limited to) following field:
Position and the size of this key on the keyboard layout zone
Shown character and zone, relevant position thereof on this key: " q ", " w ", "; "
The action that the user is different the character group of corresponding input:
ο clicks the back and directly decontrols: fuzzy input " q ", " w ", "; "
Move on the ο: fuzzy input " q ", the capitalization form of " w " (" Q ", " W ")
ο moves to left: accurately input " q "
ο moves to right: accurately input " w "
ο is upper left to be moved: accurately input " Q "
ο is upper right to be moved: accurately input " W "
ο move down accurate input "; "
Accurately the mode of input can have a variety of.A kind of preferred mode is to move to judge the character of accurate input according to user's contact; Another kind of preferred mode is after length is pressed certain key a plurality of characters on this key to be launched to select for the user.For example, in Figure 1A, after surpassing a Preset Time with head of a household's button " as ", this keyboard just is presented as accurate input pattern shown in Figure 7, demonstrates the character group 701 of all these key representatives, selects for the user.Return the originate mode of Figure 1A after having selected.In the language of West Europe, this mode can be used for selecting accented characters, for example " à á
Figure BDA00002908823000091
" etc.
Each field of it should be noted that this data structure can be deleted modification as required, and does not influence essence of the present invention.For example, can increase a field, above key, whether show the picture of amplification behind the description button, be used for pointing out the user current input; And for example, when the position of key or size fixedly the time, can omit the position size information field of this key on keyboard area.Simultaneously, user's different touch action definition also can be expanded.For example can increase the correspondence input that definition " is pressed this key with the head of a household and surpassed X second ", wherein X can be a configurable value; And for example, can increase the correspondence input of definition " user double-clicks this key ".
This shows that different actuation of keys can be corresponding to different character sets.
Second function of layout map module 402 is all keyboard layouts and switchings as required that storage may be used.At a time, there is and only have one to be the keyboard layout of current activation.Here it is current keyboard layout that the user can see in the key entry area territory.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the user can utilize the gesture on touch-screen to switch current keyboard layout, can utilize also that certain specific button switches current keyboard layout on the hardware keyboards.
The 3rd function of layout map module 402 is according to current keyboard layout, and user's original input is mapped as this input may corresponding characters set.A kind of data structure of preferred character set can comprise fuzzy input character group, accurately input character, and error correction character group.
For example on the QWERTY layout shown in Figure 1A, after the user pressed key " qw " and directly decontrols, this module had been obtained the coordinate of contact earlier from load module 401, can judge button on key " qw " according to current layout.Because action is to click the back directly to decontrol, the fuzzy input character group that can get its correspondence according to the topology data of key " qw " for (" q ", " w ", " 1 ", "; ").From module 403 is set, read current error correction and be set to vertical error correction, so the character " a " below obtaining from current layout and " s " are as the error correction character.In final this button, the output character set of layout map module 402 is: fuzzy input character group (" q ", " w ", " 1 ", "; "), accurate input character (sky), error correction input character group (" a ", " s ").
Again for example, in 9 key layouts shown in Fig. 1 D, the layout information that key " jkl " is corresponding is as follows:
Position and the size of this key on the keyboard layout zone
Shown character and zone, relevant position thereof on this key: " j ", " k ", " l ", numeral " 5 ", fullstop ". "
The action that the user is different the character of corresponding input:
ο clicks the back and directly decontrols: fuzzy input " j ", " k ", " l ", " 5 "
ο is long to be pressed: enter SHIFT pattern (as pinning the SHIFT key on the computor-keyboard)
ο moves to left: under general mode, and accurately input " j "; Under the SHIFT pattern, accurately input " J "
ο moves to right: under general mode, and accurately input " l "; Under the SHIFT pattern, accurately input " L "
Move on the ο: under general mode, accurately input " k "; Under the SHIFT pattern, accurately input " K "
ο moves down: under general mode, accurately import fullstop ". "; Under the SHIFT pattern, accurately input " 5 "
When the user decontroled after key " jkl " is gone up directly click, layout map module 402 obtained the above-mentioned layout information of key jkl.Because this action is directly decontroled for clicking the back, therefore fuzzy input character group is (" j ", " k ", " l ", " 5 "); While is because the error correction that arranges in the module 403 is set to left and right sides error correction, so the error correction character group is the adjacent character group (" m ", " i ") of key " jkl " periphery.
The back is long presses (or moving to left after long the pressing) if the user moves to left at key " jkl " and since comprise in this button one long by action, therefore switch to the SHIFT pattern, accurately input character be (" J "), blurs input character group (sky).According to the set information that module 403 is set, when accurate input was not sky, system need not error correction.Therefore the error correction character group also is (sky).
This shows that layout map module 402 converts user's input to the character set irrelevant with keyboard layout effectively, therefore the candidate word module 404 after need not to change software or data structure according to the difference of layout.After keyboard layout changed, the layout information that layout map module 402 obtains is corresponding change also, and therefore the character set of output also changes thereupon.
Because the keyboard layout design has been arranged independently, keyboard layout fully can be by cell phone manufacturer's predefine, or by User Defined, and can not influence any systemic-function.For example, the layout that the user can own definition key position, corresponding characters on each key, and action corresponding characters group, thus write out the keyboard layout that is fit to own use habit.Simultaneously, the input method of different language version also can corresponding and different keyboard layout.
Get back to Fig. 4, candidate word module 404 joins this input corresponding characters set in the list entries, search word corresponding in the lexicon module 405 with this, and according to certain rule (as word frequency, context phrase, related term etc.) word candidate is carried out prioritization, candidate word outputs to output module 406 the most at last.
The structure that persons of ordinary skill in the art may appreciate that dictionary can adopt a variety of implementations, for example is stored in database, or stores with tree structure.Correspondingly, in dictionary, find out possible candidate word a variety of methods are also arranged.
In order intactly to describe the feasibility of native system, illustrate a kind of dictionary implementation method that can search word fast below, but the present invention and do not rely on this method.This method is arranged in the word in the dictionary in the tree structure, as shown in Figure 8.Each node Ni-1 in tree-shaped dictionary, Ni-2 ... Ni-m represents a character, and wherein i represents the degree of depth (i layer) of this node in tree.The node that is positioned at the i layer has represented i character of word.M has represented the character sum in this layer, and 26 letters are for example arranged in English, and then m can be no more than 26; If can comprise the word of being made up of other symbols in the dictionary, as don ' t, then m can be greater than 26.These nodes are by path P i-j-1, Pi-j-2 ..., Pi-j-m couples together, and wherein to represent father node that this path connects be Ni-j to i-j.From the downward sequence node that arrives the path institute approach of a certain node of root node, be called the character string in this node (or this path).If the character string of a node is a word in the dictionary, claim that then this node is the word node.If a certain paths does not exist, the character string that then represents this path does not exist in dictionary.For example, the corresponding node of English word apple is sought node a-p-p-l-e downwards in proper order from root node exactly.Wherein the 1st the corresponding node of alphabetical a is at the 1st layer that sets, and the node of the 2nd alphabetical p is at the 2nd layer of tree, and the node of last alphabetical e is the word node, and its character string is exactly " apple ".The benefit of this tree structure is whether can find a specific alphabetical sequence rapidly be a word in the dictionary, and the node of this word correspondence.
Each word node can be corresponding to a word object, but the data structure of word object is independent of dictionary configuration.A word object can comprise following information: the statistics word frequency of word, related term, context relation rule, alternate formats etc.The statistics word frequency of word can for example digital 1 to 8,8 represent the most frequently used word, the word that 1 representative is least commonly used with a numeric representation.The statistics word frequency can become a significant consideration of candidate word prioritization.When not considering other factors, word frequency is more high, and the priority of word is just more high.
The related term of word refers to the word that is associated with this word, the plural form of noun for example, the different tenses of verb, different parts of speech of this word etc.For example the related term of English word " jump " comprises " jumps ", " jumping ", " jumped " etc.The related term tabulation can realize that namely a word object can be pointed to other word object that it is associated with the pointer mode.The purpose that keeps related term information is to make things convenient for the user to select its related word fast from a word.For example when the user sees that " jump " appears in the candidate word, action that can be by certain prior appointment (for example on word to lower slider) allows system demonstrate all related terms, and therefrom selects.
The context relation rule has comprised the information relevant with context environmental such as the common phrase collocation, grammer criterion of this word.For example, the context relation rule of word " look " can comprise common phrase collocation " look at ", " look forward to ", " look for " etc.And for example, the context relation rule of word " am " can comprise common phrase collocation " I am " etc.And for example, the context relation rule of word " of " can comprise syntax rule: " word of its heel should be noun or gerund ".After these information had been arranged, system can be by the priority of context intelligent decision candidate word.
In the present embodiment, the context relation rule also can come into force mutually between related term.For example, when " look forward to " arranged in the context relation rule, also can be associated with " forward to " even occur " looking " in the literary composition, because " looking " is the related term of " look ".
Alternate formats is certain form of expression of this word, and for example " asap " is the abbreviated form of " as soon as possible ", if the user has imported so " asap ", system can correspond to " as soon as possible " automatically.Therefore " as soon aspossible " is exactly the alternate formats of word object " asap ".And for example, user input " dont " can be corrected as " don ' t " automatically, because contain alternate formats " don ' t " on the word object " dont ".Word object this moment " dont " is actually a kind of index.When a word had alternate formats, the candidate word module can preferentially be exported alternate formats.
Fig. 9 has described a kind of method that generates candidate word in the present embodiment, comprises following steps: according to list entries, seek corresponding word object as candidate word (step 901) in dictionary; The candidate word that will comprise character in the error correction character group is labeled as error correction candidate word (step 902); Find the corresponding related term tabulation of candidate word (step 903); Find the corresponding alternative form of candidate word (step 904); Candidate word is carried out prioritization (step 905).
For step 901, the list entries that candidate word module 404 will constitute from each time button corresponding characters set that layout map module 402 obtains is combined into possible candidate word.In theory, need only all the character permutation and combination with list entries, and pick out the existing word that all exist in lexicon module, can constitute the candidate word tabulation.But in fact, one-touch may comprise a plurality of possible characters, and repeatedly the button character string that may form will be more.Along with the length of list entries increases, if search dictionary again after listing the full arrangement of all character strings, calculated amount can be very big.Therefore, a kind of preferred candidate word lookup method of the present invention is the characteristics of utilizing lexicographic tree, gets rid of impossible character string fast by the node of retrieval number.For example, if the character set of the user's button first time is (" a ", " s "), the character set of button is (" b ", " n ") for the second time, and the character set of button is (" t " for the third time, " y ", " u "), then the combination of the character string of three buttons is 2*2*3=12.If but analyze the possible character string of preceding twice button: " ab ", " an ", " sb ", " sn " can find not exist in the dictionary word (path is empty) of " sb " sequence beginning, so only need consideration " ab ", " an ", " sn " may with the combination of back three characters.Further analyze the back and find in the arrangement of all three characters, to have only " ant ", " any ", " aby " and " abu " may become the beginning part of word or word.Therefore reality may make up well below 12.Along with the increase of user key-press number of times, although in theory character string may be combined in increase, utilize this method, along with the impossible path of continuous eliminating, calculated amount remains at reduced levels.
For step 902, when list entries has comprised the error correction character group, comprised the word after the error correction in the candidate word that step 901 is found out, therefore for the ease of itself and the common candidate word without error correction are distinguished, it is labeled as the error correction candidate word.According to statistics, the probability that the user presses key will be higher than the probability that pushes the wrong into certain key.Therefore, in follow-up prioritization, the priority of error correction candidate word can be lower than common candidate word.
For step 904, the alternative form that finds can replace original candidate word, adds the candidate word tabulation.
For step 905, candidate word is searched module 404 need carry out prioritization to candidate word.The factor that influences priority can comprise: context relation rule, statistics word frequency, candidate word length etc.At first, can pay the utmost attention to the context relation rule.For example, if preamble has been imported " look forward ", the word of then importing below probably is " to ", rather than very high " go " of close with it and same word frequency.At this moment, can by the preamble of the comparison context relation rule of candidate word and current text position with hereinafter, form the phrase collocation if find certain candidate word and front and back literary composition, just can be with the priority raising of this candidate word.Secondly, system can consider the statistics word frequency of word in this language, and word frequency is more high, and then probability of occurrence is more big, so priority is more high.In addition, equal or during near the user key-press number of times, the priority of this word can be enhanced when candidate word length.If comprised the error correction character in certain candidate word, then its priority can reduce.In a kind of preferred embodiment, final priority can get by calculating after the multiple factor weighting.
Get back to Fig. 4, output module 406 is shown to the user with the candidate word tabulation.In certain embodiments of the present invention, for the candidate word with related term, can mark with special state, and a kind of shortcut of definable allows the user enter into the preference pattern of this word related term.For example, with reference to Fig. 2 A, there is an arrow below of word " compare ", and its related term tabulation has been found in expression.The user goes up downward sliding contact at " compare " can enter the related term preference pattern.In certain embodiments of the present invention, for the error correction candidate word, can be with different format identification (FID)s to show differentiation.
According to one embodiment of the present of invention, when the user confirm certain candidate word and it is inputed to text filed after, the candidate region will show next or a plurality of words that may occur.With reference to figure 2C, after user's input " look ", the candidate region occurs the prediction " forward to " of word down, " at ", " into ", " for ".This is because phrase collocation " look forward to ", " look at ", " look into " and " look for " are arranged in the context relation rule of word object " look ".After the user confirmed candidate word " look ", candidate word module 404 was found out these rules from the context relation rule of this word, and the part of " look " back is presented in the candidate region as candidate word.
According to one embodiment of the present of invention, when the user confirm certain candidate word and it is inputed to text filed after, the collocation of the phrase of its related term also can appear in the candidate region.With reference to figure 2D, after user input " I ' m looking ", the candidate word zone also can occur the prediction " forward to " of word down, " at ", " into ", " for ".This is in tabulating at the related term of word object " looking " " look " to be arranged, and the candidate word module can be found out corresponding phrase collocation in the context relation imputation of related term correspondence, and is presented in the candidate region.
Figure 10 has described designed being used for of the present invention and has possessed following steps to the method for the live keyboard the realized layout of electronic equipment input text: wait for user input signal (step 1001); User input signal is converted to a character set according to current keyboard layout, and described character set comprises the possible corresponding characters (step 1002) of described user's input; Described character set is added current list entries (step 1003); According to described current list entries, generate candidate word and sort by priority (step 1004); Show described candidate word (step 1005).
3. the switching of layout and dynamically adjustment
Because keyboard layout design has flexibly been arranged, and keyboard system of the present invention can change keyboard layout and the realization of not influence method and user's use at any time.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, the user can pass through certain predefined operation, and keyboard layout is switched at any time.For example, on touch-screen, as user during at the quick passing contact of keyboard area, just system can be dynamically current layout is switched to AZERTY layout shown in Fig. 1 C by the QWERTY layout shown in Figure 1A.Having on the equipment of hardware keyboards, when the user pressed certain shortcut, keyboard layout can dynamically be switched too in system.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, in the handoff procedure of keyboard layout, can make switching more natural by animation effect.For example, with reference to Figure 11 A, when user's the keyboard area of finger on touch-screen from left to right during fast moving, old keyboard layout is mobile fading out smoothly from left to right, and new keyboard layout is from screen left end mobile fading in smoothly to the right.Figure 11 B has described at finger in moving process, and old keyboard layout 1102 is moved out to half, and new keyboard layout 1103 moves into the situation of a half.Figure 11 C has described new keyboard layout and has moved into situation afterwards fully.In the present embodiment, animation effect can be carried out glibly, and translational speed can allow the user feel that keyboard layout is to be moved by user's finger according to the translational speed decision of user contact.
Figure 12 has described a kind of method 1200 of quick switching keyboard layout in the present embodiment, comprises following steps: the display device in the band sense of touch shows a keyboard layout (step 1201); Wait for that the user contact is in the mobile action (step 1202) of touch-screen; Original keyboard layout is shifted out screen (step 1203) along the contact moving direction; New keyboard layout is moved into screen (step 1204) along the contact moving direction.
The keyboard layout of this method indication not only represents the different layouts of letter, also can broadly make a general reference to be certain one page in the pages content.For example, select the page to have multipage to select at symbol, the user can carry out page turn over operation by this method.
According to some embodiment of the present invention, the user can also dynamically change the layout of keyboard, as the position that changes button etc.For example, in Figure 13 A, do not put when the user presses " SPACE " space bar 1301, and decontrol after it is dragged to the lower left corner of keyboard area, just this key has been arranged at the new position 1302 shown in Figure 13 B.Keyboard layout can be by corresponding renewal simultaneously, and for example the numeral " 8 " on space bar has become numeral " 6 " originally, to keep the continuity of numeral.
Figure 14 has described a kind of method of dynamic change keyboard layout in the present embodiment, comprises following steps: the display device in the band sense of touch shows a plurality of buttons (step 1401); Detect the user and press back current collector action (step 1402) at a button; Detect the position (step 1403) that the user decontrols the contact; Adjust keyboard layout, described button is adjusted to the corresponding position of described relieving contact position, and the keyboard layout (step 1404) of display update.
For step 1402, can preestablish some key and be key movably, setting some key is immovable key.For example, " SPACE " key is key movably among Figure 13 A, and other buttons are immovable building.
For step 1404, the position after button is adjusted often can be near some the predefined position the relieving contact position.For example, when " SPACE " key covers among Figure 13 B zone was dropped in the position that the user decontrols the contact or distance is no more than in the scope of X pixel (X can be a predetermined value) around it, the position was the key position in the lower left corner of screen after the adjustment of correspondence.
