Abstract
The equipment (20) and the method for a kind of Chinese words identification and input can be defined also among the input characters processor etc. Chinese words.It is by 8 enter keies (31-38), and each key is represented one of Chinese words stroke, and these Chinese words are stored in the text memory cell (24), is the tandem form with the character stroke sign indicating number, adds that the form of traditional order of strokes is stored.When pressing enter key (31-38) by the Chinese words order of strokes, literal is not selected among all strokes that does not contain this order, till the literal of expectation or a small set of word of choosing are defined.And the stroke number of generally acknowledging of Chinese words also can be used as the method for inquiry.
Description
The present invention relates to symbol definition apparatus and method.
The present invention is on electron storage, retrieval and the transmission equipment of Chinese or Japanese input, have special but not exclusive application, the present invention's application will be described as a reference here, yet, the present invention can also use in other respects, as defines mathematical or other symbol is imported as computer.
Chinese words is a kind of synthetic language rather than alphabetic language, and comprises thousands of kinds of symbols, and each symbol can be represented a word.
All Chinese words all are the unique combination that is formed by the fundamental element of 8 kinds of unique shapes or " stroke ", each stroke formation be characterized as its size and direction, most word can 6 to 21 strokes be stipulated, but a word the most complicated can be above 51 strokes, each word all has its special stroke number, though legal stroke number is different from actual stroke number under the minority situation.
In order to impel the consistance of the literal that different writers write out, and make and write easily with smooth, each word all has the order of strokes of its particular provisions, though not obvious actual order of strokes seen in a complete word.Have 214 primary word literary compositions to be called " radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries (word base, radical) radicals ", add that extra stroke is used to form the word relevant with sound with the meaning of this word base, the word base also is a literal, and each Chinese words all comprises one or more word bases.
Because need the so a large amount of Chinese words of definition, adopt the mechanical type print speed printing speed slow, for instance, typical case's chicoder has 1,200 keys, wants how expensively and use difficultly compared with the alphabetical formula typewriter of 100 keys, also can't get a lot of rare literal.
Chinese user and student meet with bigger difficulty, be shape and the meaning thereof of in dictionary, finding out a word, the most basic word method of looking into of Chinese dictionary is the legal stroke number with reference to this word, the user consults the part of this stroke number earlier, press word base (radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries) again and further seek, therefore Chinese can not use the progressive method of looking for of alphabetical formula dictionary alphabet sequence.
When using Chinese words to do word processing, use keyboard definition Chinese words and input characters processor very inconvenient, some Chinese text processor uses digitizing chart board (digitizing pad) as input, and the user is standardized word on chart board once.The digitizing chart board is quite expensive, and the desired Chinese words of input need be than complex image scanning digital processing procedure on the digitizing chart board.
Current, the Chinese text process computer of many economy, require user's thinking of requiring mental skill a word is divided into one or a string phoneme and imports, and these phonemes are to select from 37 shown phoneme symbols of computer keyboard, import phoneme symbol with keyboard, computer software just shows on screen that all accord with the literal of this phoneme, very unfortunately many word pronunciations are identical, the user must select required from large numbers of literal of screen display, this has just limited the number that can use literal, perhaps is restricted to 500 words or 1000 words; In addition, though the font of Chinese is consistent in the zone of the literary composition that is right, pronunciation is because of local different, make have only national language just have suitable phoneme software systems for be not say for the user of national language not responsible.
The objective of the invention is to eliminate above-mentioned shortcoming, and effective and believable symbol definition apparatus and method is provided, other advantages and the purpose of the present invention also will display.
With regard to above-mentioned purpose with other, one aspect of the present invention is based upon literal definition equipment in the information processing apparatus, and described literal definition equipment comprises:
The literal subelement of information processing apparatus (characher sub-element) input media;
Literal subelement memory storage; With
Character recognition device according to subelement content recognition literal.
Here, literal can be the literal or the symbol of any needs, comprises pattern (pattern) or omits word (logo); Yet here, literal is meant Chinese character, and subelement is meant the stroke that forms Chinese character, and certainly, if desired, this literal can be the symbol of other kind of literal such as Japanese or the scientific symbol of numerical equation.
Character recognition method can comprise the recognition methods of any needs, yet we are with stroke size, shape data here, comprise that also the order of strokes that forms literal is as character recognition method.Literal subelement input method can be suitable for order of strokes data or other order of strokes define methods that order is imported stroke size, shape.
Character recognition method, also comprise design according to stroke sum identification literal, go into the stroke sum according to the total number input method of stroke with the numeric keypad number, can be to literal as complete character recognition method with unique stroke sum, or as a part that comprises the order of strokes recognition strategy, this character recognition method is if use stroke sum data, just available less stroke recognition data can be reached the literal identification; The literal identification comprises that also the order of strokes of selecting appointment as unknown stroke or " asterisk wildcard " (wildcards), so just can import a word of not exclusively understanding.
The design of literal subelement input method also can comprise the removable digitalizer as Genius mouse (Mouse) or digitizing chart board etc.; And this digitalizer also can be used on shown subelement or the character of selection on the screen, or the shape or the literal of definition stroke.Here, literal subelement input media comprises many input medias, and for example keyboard key, and other input media of each character stroke and each cooperates, selecteed like this character stroke can be with the mode of similar input word matrix literal the input characters subelement.
Here keyboard can be according to the configuration arrangement of any needs, for example two arc configurations are in order to cooperate finger can make things convenient for operation simultaneously, yet here, the arrangement of keyboard be a pair of key group who forms by adjacent key away from each other, each key group can be by the finger handled easily of a hand like this, and additional data entry key can be positioned between this two keys group, wherein also comprises the data entry key of input alphabet data, input is as the numerical key of number of strokes, and the operating key of control screen display and messaging device.
Information processing apparatus can be designed to any form, for example, it can word processor or the form of programming by word processor, or provide the aims of education of Word message, or the reference purpose of dictionary, this equipment also is suitable as a portable exquisiteness " electronic dictionary ", and the user just takes reference or aided education easily like this.
More deep speech it, the present invention is based upon the Chinese words input method in the electronic processing equipment, described method comprises:
Literal definition equipment is provided, and it has character stroke input media among the suitable information processing apparatus, lteral data memory storage, discerns the literal recognizer of literal and according to the design of character stroke input media with the stroke of a word of standard stroke order input according to stroke content and order.
This method more comprises literal set is divided into the lteral data section according to the stroke sum, and the input characters stroke is to so-called lteral data section inquiry, therefore the total literal ratio of aggregates by character stroke and order searching can reduce, and the character stroke of the required usefulness of searching literal also reduces.
For the present invention is more readily understood, and pays storage and implement, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is the figure of 8 basic Chinese words strokes, stroke number position;
Fig. 2 is the information processing apparatus block scheme according to the present invention;
Fig. 3 is the keyboard layout of electronic processing equipment under word processing mode;
Fig. 4 is the keyboard layout of electronic processing equipment under the text query pattern;
Fig. 5 is the data entry keyboard profile;
Fig. 6 is a series of screen displays according to computer programming of the present invention, and wherein 8 screens show 8 kinds of available strokes of selection each word as first stroke of literal; With
Fig. 7 illustrates the detailed part that shows among Fig. 6.
As Fig. 1 explanation, these 8 ground literal stroke keys 10 to 17 are used in Chinese character information, have been orientated as stroke number 1 to 8 individually, and these stroke number are digital as the reference of storage and retrieval lteral data by electronic processing equipment 20 uses of Fig. 2.
Electronic processing equipment shown in Figure 2 has a central processing unit 21, and connects keyboard 22, program storage unit (PSU) 23, character storage unit 24, the visual display unit 25 of a literal that shows retrieval and the printer 26 of printing character respectively.
Fig. 3 and shown in Figure 4, keyboard 30 has 8 stroke keys 31 to 38, correspond to ground literal stroke 10 to 17 respectively, stroke enter key 31 to 34 classifies as left hand side switch group 40, stroke enter key 35 to 38 classifies as right hand side switch group 41, and the key 44 that falls back, asterisk wildcard key 45 and a pair of up-down arrow 46 and 47 are between key group 40 and 41.
Last row's key 50 comprises the symbolic key and the Chinese currency symbol 51 of grapholect processing, and wherein " attention " (note well) symbol is a key 52, and standard numeric keys group 53 is the right-hand sides at keyboard 30.
Keyboard 30 has cooperated the operation of two kinds of patterns: when word processing mode, all keys all have effect except stroke enter key 31 to 38 and function key 44 and 45; When query pattern, have only stroke enter key 31-38, function key 42,43,43 and 45 and " selecting for use " (alternate) key 54, " input " (enter) key 55, " being less than or equal to " key 56 reach " deletion " key 57, be effective.When a back pattern, arrow key 46 and 47 becomes " stroke sum key ".
Depress arbitrary stroke enter key 31 to 38, keyboard converts word processing mode again to after promptly under query pattern, pressing " input " key 55.
When the starting query pattern, central processing unit 21 makes the literal of the text memory cell that is used in 24 use banner (flag) to open, press down arbitrary stroke enter key of 31 to 38 at query pattern, to begin to seek in text memory cell 24, it is not to import the use banner of the literal of that stroke that text memory cell 24 will be turned off all first strokes.When importing 31 to 38 stroke key the second time, then in the literal that remaining use banner is still opened, seek, all literal that does not contain these two same sequence strokes, it uses banner to be switched off, further character stroke can define through the stroke enter key, and the once new stroke of every input, the word that residue use banner is still opened is not if contain the new stroke of this order, and then it uses banner just to be switched off.
This process continues still to open up to the use banner that only remains a word, this word just is presented on the visual display unit 25 for the user and accepts or abandon, central processing unit 21 also can show the word that remaining sub-fraction uses banner still to open by program, and the user also can select correct word by function key group 40 and 41.
If " asterisk wildcard " key 45 is pressed, no longer turn off the use banner, but central processing unit 21 can be sought in each word that uses banner to open further next time by the stroke enter key time under the control of program storage unit (PSU) 23.
When depressing stroke sum key 46 or 47, numerical key adds " input " key 55 depress after just the input literal of wanting the stroke sum, all are not that the use banner of the word literary composition of this stroke sum is switched off, if numerical key is pressed the back and is pressed " being less than or equal to " key 56 not according to " input " key 55, all stroke sums are switched off greater than the use banner of the number person's of input literal, because several words have specific stroke, so input stroke sum can reduce the needs of input stroke in fact.For instance: have only a word to have 52 strokes, this kind situation is used the total number input method of stroke, and making needs reducing to 3 times from 52 by bond number of this word of definition.
Keyboard as shown in Figure 5 has the design configuration as Qwerty keyboard, and uses by similar approach.In addition, each options button sign Chinese words, 4 arrow keys, " former row " key, " termination " key, " going up page turning " key and " following page turning " key signs 8 ground literal strokes.Other key signs frequent some radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries that use when constituting Chinese words.
If press next stroke key, a dimeric display window will appear, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 on display screen.In the left-half of window, demonstrate stroke with the form of simplifying, and, demonstrate with initial prevailing 5 words of this stroke at the right half part of window, wherein, in the middle of being placed on a prevailing word and given prominence to.If this word is exactly needed word, can it be selected and return by depressing " input " key in the word string of the text that is put into storage and go.If wherein in addition 4 one of show in the words it is required word, can depress suitable " arrow " key and it is in earlier be highlighted the position, depress " input " key then and choose it.If wherein the neither one word is needed, then can press next stroke key again, so show again for choosing at 5 prevailing words of the scope of this stroke.The stroke key that is lived through then is presented at the window left side continuously.If pressed the stroke key wrong, can press " returning stroke " (backstroke) key earlier, and then the true key of positive pressure, thereby corrected.
If before pressing next stroke key, press next radical key earlier, then based on these radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries and comprise that some words of this stroke will show at the window right-hand part, can be chosen with method as described below.Many Chinese words all comprise the radicals by which characters are arranged in traditional Chinese dictionaries of repetition, can choose these words by a radical key is depressed several times.The word that often comprises repetition in the Chinese can repeatedly produce pleonasm by depressing " input " key.
The present invention below only is described for example, obviously it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that and to make various changes or improvement to the present invention, but these changes and improvements that do not break away from spirit of the present invention also are to be considered to fall among the application's the claim scope.
