With reference to figure 1, show the schematic representation of electronic device circuitry 100, be generally used for comprising the mobile phone of twireless radio-frequency communication unit 102, it and processor 103 communicate to connect.Electronic device circuitry 100 also comprises display screen 105.Also have alarm module 115, it comprises alarm speaker, vibrating motor and relevant driver conventionally.Display screen 105 and alarm module 115 and processor 103 communication connections.
With reference to figure 2, show the electronic equipment 200 that comprises the electronic device circuitry 100 being encapsulated by housing 210.As illustrated in this embodiment, keyboard 155 comprises a plurality of alphanumeric keys 220, operating key 225 and navigation key 230.Each alphanumeric key 220 is mapped to more than one character, and for example, one of alphanumeric key 220 that is marked with numeral 2 and alphabetical a b c is mapped to character " 2 ", " a ", " b ", " c ".Similarly, one of alphanumeric key 220 that is marked with numeral 9 and alphabetical w x y z is mapped to character " 9 ", " w ", " x ", " y " and " z ".Therefore, the manipulation that is marked with one of numeral 2 and digital alphabet key 220 of alphabetical a b c can input character " 2 ", one of " a ", " b " and " c ", and be marked with digital 9 and the manipulation of one of the alphanumeric key 220 of alphabetical wx y z can input character " 9 ", " x ", " y " and " z ".
The mapping of each in alphanumeric key 220 can produce multiple possible sequence, as the candidate of input electronic equipment 200.For example, if handle one of alphanumeric key 220 being marked with numeral 2 and alphabetical a b c, handle subsequently the alphanumeric key 220 that is marked with numeral 6 and alphabetical m n o, the possible character string (PCS) that can be input to so the alphabetical form in electronic equipment 200 is: am, an, ao, bm, bn, bo, cm, cn and co.Electronic equipment 200 can not determine at an easy rate (in the situation that there is no further input command) actual think input be which sequence in PCS.If user wants to input word " colin ", the next alphanumeric key 220 that should handle is so those keys that are marked with numeral 5 and alphabetical j k l, yet, if because the key that is marked with digital 9w x y z has been handled in carelessness, alphabetical w, x, y and z are added to each in PCS: am, an, ao, bm, bn, bo, cm, cn and co, become PCS: amw, amx, amy, amz ..., cnw, cnx, cny and cnz.The further manipulation of alphanumeric key 220 produces larger PCS, user may be difficult to determine which kind of has handled which key or which key (in this example, because the alphanumeric key 220 that is marked with the alphanumeric key 220 of 9w x y z rather than is marked with 5j k l is handled in carelessness) and they sequentially handles to proofread and correct any mistake with thus.
With reference to figure 3, for example show, for conventionally passing through to use predictive text editing machine (, iTAP
tM) character string is inputted to the method 300 of electronic equipment 200, the method is realized by the execution of character item addressable part 125 conventionally.It is conventionally handled one of operating key 225 by user and calls starting step 305() afterwards, at square frame 310 places, method 300 is carried out and is determined by the optional sequence of the character input item that on the keyboard 155 at electronic equipment 200, joystick key (alphanumeric key 220) is inputted.The manipulation of key is according to handling sequence, and the optional sequence of character input item is with to handle sequence corresponding, and at least one key in manipulation sequence is mapped on more than one character, produces thus the optional sequence of character input item.By this example, if user expects input character sequence " colin ", so should be in handling sequence by take that be marked with numeral 2 be then respectively 6,5,4 and finally handling alphanumeric key 220 as 6 order and handle alphanumeric key 220.Yet, in this example, suppose accidentally to have handled and be marked with numeral 9 key rather than handled the key that is marked with numeral 5.
Next, at square frame 315 places, method 300 is carried out at least one character string of optional sequence and the mark of identification manipulation sequence that is derived from character input item in the demonstration screen display of electronic equipment 200.Therefore, in this example, at least one character string that is derived from the optional sequence of character input item comprises cowin, cozin, amwho, adds at display screen 105(or can be rolled on display screen 105 or through display screen 105 and roll) the upper more character strings that show.Equally, on display screen 105, Identification display is handled the mark of sequence, these marks represent the key (alphanumeric key 220) showing in handling sequence according to orderly list, in this example, described mark can be shown as in one embodiment: [2abc], [6mno], [9wxyz], [4ghi], [6mno].
Next, at test block 320 places, carry out test to judge whether user wants to proofread and correct those keys of being handled (alphanumeric key 220), and this conventionally handles one of operating key 225 by user and completes.If user does not want to proofread and correct the key that those are handled, method 300 directly enters square frame 345 so.Yet, if user wants to proofread and correct the key that those are handled, so at square frame 325 places, method 300 identifies by least one the user's input command receiving in selected marker [2abc], [6mno], [9wxyz], [4ghi], [6mno] at least one less desirable character input item of handling in sequence.This can complete with navigation key 230 by suitable, if or display screen 105 are touch-screens, by mark to be selected on touch display screen 105, complete so.More particularly, if display is touch screen, selected marker is included in and on touch-screen, receives input command, wherein by response to the physical contact at show tags place on touch-screen is realized to input command.
Next, at step 330 place, carry out and process at least one selected substitute character input item, this substitute character input item is inputted by the manipulation of one of alphanumeric key 220 conventionally.As the result of selected substitute character input item, at square frame 335 places, by substitute character input item, replace less desirable character input item, to form the optional sequence of amended character input item.Therefore if selected mark [9wxyz] at square frame 325 places, and are, [5jkl] in the square frame 330 selected substitute character input items in place, at square frame 335 places, by the less desirable character input item of j or k or l replacement w or x or y.Therefore,, at square frame 340 places, method 300 is carried out and on display screen 105, is further shown at least one character string through modification and the mark of identification key and manipulation sequence.In this example, described at least one through character string of revising, comprise such as colin, cojin, amkho and add more character strings.The mark that represents to handle the key (alphanumeric key 220) in sequence according to orderly list can be in this example: [2abc], [6mno], [5jkl], [4ghi], [6mno].
Then method 300 forwards test block 320 to, to judge whether user thinks further to proofread and correct any key (primary and secondary numerical key 220) of being handled.If do not need further correction, so at square frame 345 places, method 300 is carried out from character string colin, cojin, amkho and is added the character string that more keys, selection needs.Therefore,, if are touch-screens by handling user or the display screen 105 of the use of navigation key 230, the character string (being " colin " in this example) suitably showing by contact is so selected the character string through revising.
According to the required mode of the operation of electronic equipment 200 (literal term pattern, directory number preference pattern, directly input digit dialling pattern etc.), selected character string is:
A), for text items pattern, character string " colin " is imported into the territory, input text area of display screen 105 and can forms a part for sentence;
B) for directory number preference pattern, possible name in the character string colin storing in the telephone directory of electronic equipment 200, cojin, amkho etc. is for being input to the possible character string of equipment, it shows at square frame 340 places, if and select " colin " at square frame 345 places, the telephone number relevant to " colin " of storing in telephone directory so will be dialed by electronic equipment 200, and
C), for direct input digit dialling pattern, will dial phone number 26546 or can add other number before dialing.
After square frame 345, the method finishes with end block 350, thereafter further character string can enter electronic equipment 200 by using method 300.
Advantageously, the invention provides not simple identification and the correction of the correct alphanumeric key 220 of handling.This mark of handling sequence by Identification display on display screen 105 completes, and these label tables are shown in handles the key (alphanumeric key 220) showing in sequence.As long as identify a key, correctly do not handled, user simply provides user's input command of the mark of this key of selective recognition, then handles correct key.
