The key mapping of dummy keyboard is made up of letters case, figure case, symbol key mapping and function key mapping (such as space bar, line feed key, delete key etc.) etc. usually.User can use finger or pointer to operate the key mapping on dummy keyboard, thus the input of realization letter, numeral, symbol or other corresponding functions.In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2 (a), the layout type of described dummy keyboard adopts common full keyboard layout (i.e. qwerty keyboard layout).It should be noted that, the layout type of the dummy keyboard in the present invention should not be only limitted to this, and keyboard layout's mode that existing and future may occur, as long as contain 26 letters cases, is all applicable to the present invention, will not enumerate at this.
In step s 102, when user starts new input by pressing/clicking letters case, (input of such as first Chinese character or user have just terminated a Chinese character, after the input an of word or a word), first the letters case that this is pressed/clicks is detected, and this letters case pressed/click is considered as input alphabet key mapping, then according to this input alphabet key mapping judge the letters case (hereinafter referred to as letters case to be entered) that next described user will input and the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered in advance.
In a specific embodiment, judge that the letters case to be entered of described user and the step of the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered comprise in advance according to the described key mapping of input alphabet: the described key mapping of input alphabet and history are inputted the letters case that the letters case sequence corresponding to entry comprises and mate, judge the letters case to be entered of described user and the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered in advance according to mating the letters case sequence that obtains and inputting entry with the history corresponding to it.Particularly, before the letters case to be entered judging described user in advance according to the described key mapping of input alphabet and the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered, the history input entry record and this history that obtain described user input the letters case sequence of each history input corresponding to entry in entry record, and are associated with the letters case sequence corresponding to it by history input entry described in each.Be " we " for history input entry, the letters case sequence corresponding to it is " wo ' men ".When detecting that user's letters case pressed/click on dummy keyboard inputs, this letters case pressed/click is considered as input alphabet key mapping, by this, input alphabet key mapping and history input the letters case that the letters case sequence corresponding to entry comprises and mate, first coupling obtains comprising the letters case sequence (hereinafter mating key mapping by being called with this letters case that input alphabet key mapping is identical in letters case sequence) of this input alphabet key mapping, then the letters case being positioned at this coupling key mapping next bit in this letters case sequence of mating and obtaining is obtained, multiple letters case can be matched under normal circumstances, that is, each letters case is all likely the letters case that next user will input, therefore, the plurality of letters case is all considered as letters case to be entered, then, for each letters case to be entered, from mating the highest letters case sequence of this letters case frequency of occurrences to be entered of letters case retrieval of obtaining, according to the history input entry that this letters case sequence obtains corresponding thereto, and obtain the Chinese character corresponding with input alphabet key mapping and letters case to be entered as Chinese character to be entered from this history input entry.Preferably, when the described key mapping of input alphabet and history being inputted letters case that the letters case sequence corresponding to entry comprises and mating, input alphabet key mapping is mated with the letters case of same position in letters case sequence.Such as, when user terminates to start new input after a Chinese character, a word or input in short, if user inputs first letter key mapping, then using this letters case as input alphabet key mapping, now, by this input alphabet key mapping mate with the first letters case in letters case sequence; If user inputs two letters cases, then using these two letters cases as input alphabet key mapping, now, by this input alphabet key mapping mate with the first place in letters case sequence and second letters case.
Illustrate, detect that user presses/click letters case " w ", now, input alphabet key mapping is " w ", the first letters case of each the letters case sequence then this letters case " w " and history inputted corresponding to entry mates, obtain the letters case sequence started with letters case " w ", the second letters case of this letters case sequence is added up, obtain this second letters case and there is three kinds " o ", " e " and " a " three kinds possibility, that is, letters case to be entered is " o ", " e " and " a ".Wherein, be directed to letters case to be entered " o ", the Chinese character that the frequency of occurrences is the highest is " I " word, then by " I " word as the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case " o ", be directed to letters case to be entered " e ", the Chinese character that the frequency of occurrences is the highest is " asking " word, then " will ask " that word is as the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case " e ", be directed to letters case to be entered " a ", the Chinese character that the frequency of occurrences is the highest is " object for appreciation " word, then by " object for appreciation " word as the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case " a ".It should be noted that, letters case to be entered and the Chinese character to be entered corresponding to this letters case to be entered can change along with the change of user's history input entry.Still for detect user input alphabet key mapping " w " illustrate, according to this input alphabet key mapping " w " obtain letters case to be entered comprise " o ", " e " and " a " three kinds may, but because user's history input entry there occurs change, wherein, be directed to letters case to be entered " e ", the Chinese character that the frequency of occurrences is the highest becomes " being " word from " asking " word, and now, Chinese character to be entered will become " being " word from " asking " word.If user does not select Chinese character to be entered but continues input alphabet key mapping " a ", now input alphabet key mapping becomes " wa ", so then according to this input alphabet key mapping " wa " go to judge letters case to be entered and Chinese character to be entered in advance, now, letters case to be entered is letters case " n " and letters case " i ", and Chinese character to be entered corresponding both it is " object for appreciation " word and " outward " word respectively.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that and how judge that the letters case to be entered of described user and the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered exist multiple implementation in advance according to input alphabet key mapping.Corresponding implementation can be selected according to different design requirements in actual applications, for brevity, no longer the implementation that each may exist is described at this.
In step s 103, after the letters case to be entered judging described user in advance according to input alphabet key mapping and the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered, by this chinese disply to be entered on the position be associated with described letters case to be entered.Wherein, the position be associated described in refers to that the position that candidate word shows can allow user be easy to this Chinese character to be entered and letters case to be entered to be associating.In a specific embodiment, Chinese character to be entered is floated be presented at the top of described letters case to be entered.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that; in the present invention, the display of Chinese character to be entered is not restricted to aforesaid way; every user can be allowed clearly to be associated with letters case to be entered by this Chinese character to be entered when showing Chinese character to be entered and do not affect other letters cases operation display mode include the scope protected in the present invention; such as Chinese character to be entered floats and is presented at the right etc. of letters case to be entered; for brevity, will not enumerate at this.
In step S104, identify the subsequent operation of user, if recognize user utilize finger (or pointer) on the virtual keyboard for Chinese character to be entered carry out selection operation time, then in the Chinese character output region of touch screen, export this Chinese character, thus complete the input of user to this Chinese character.Wherein, there is various ways in the selection operation of user to Chinese character to be entered.In a specific embodiment, if described user adopts the mode input alphabet key mapping pressed, after Chinese character so to be entered shows on the virtual keyboard, the finger (or pointer) of user can be slid into letters case to be entered from current by the letters case pressed, represent that user wishes to input the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case to be entered, that is, described user for described Chinese character to be entered carry out selection operation be described user on described dummy keyboard from the described operation being slid into described key mapping to be entered by the letters case pressed.In another specific embodiment, if described user adopts the mode input alphabet key mapping of click, after Chinese character so to be entered shows on the virtual keyboard, the finger (or pointer) of user moves to letters case place to be entered, slide from this letters case to be entered towards Chinese character to be entered, represent that user wishes to input the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case to be entered, that is, it is described user slides into described Chinese character to be entered on described dummy keyboard operation from described key mapping to be entered that described user carries out selection operation for described Chinese character to be entered.
Now, user achieves the input operation of Chinese character to be entered, this Chinese character to be entered becomes and inputs Chinese character, according to this inputted Chinese character continue judge the letters case that next user will input and the Chinese character corresponding with this letters case in advance, namely next letters case to be entered and the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with this letters case to be entered, and this chinese disply to be entered is selected for user on the position that this letters case to be entered is associated.Particularly, this is inputted Chinese character and history to input the Chinese character that entry comprises and mate, first coupling obtains comprising this history input entry having inputted Chinese character (hereinafter history inputted in entry inputted with this identical Chinese character of Chinese character be called mate Chinese character), then the Chinese character being positioned at this coupling Chinese character next bit in this history input entry mating and obtain is obtained, multiple Chinese character can be matched under normal circumstances, obtain the first letters case of each Chinese character in the plurality of Chinese character, under normal circumstances, multiple the first letters case can be obtained, that is, each the first letters case is all likely the letters case that next user will input, therefore, the plurality of the first letters case is all considered as letters case to be entered, then, be directed to each the first letters case, Chinese character the highest for the frequency of occurrences corresponding with this first letters case is considered as Chinese character to be entered.Preferably, by described inputted Chinese character and history input Chinese character that entry comprises mate time, mate inputting Chinese character with the Chinese character that history inputs same position in entry.Such as, when user terminates to start new input after a Chinese character, a word or input in short, if user inputs first Chinese character, then using this Chinese character as inputting Chinese character, now, this has been inputted Chinese character to mate with the first Chinese character that history inputs in entry; If user has inputted two Chinese characters, then using these two Chinese characters as input alphabet Chinese character, now, this has been inputted Chinese character and history and has inputted first place in entry and second Chinese character mates.
Illustrate, detect that user inputs " on " word, namely inputted Chinese character for " on " word, this is inputted Chinese character to mate with the first Chinese character that history inputs entry, obtain " above ", " top ", " visit a grave ", " last time " and " uploading ", carry out statistics to the first letters case of second Chinese character to obtain " m ", " f " and " c ", then these three letters cases are considered as letters case to be entered, wherein, be directed to letters case to be entered " f ", the frequency of occurrences of " top " is the highest, be directed to letters case to be entered " c ", the frequency of occurrences " uploaded " is the highest, then " face " word is considered as the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case to be entered " m ", " side " word is considered as the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case to be entered " f ", " biography " word is considered as the to be entered Chinese character corresponding with letters case to be entered " c ".
If detect that user continues to select the Chinese character to be entered of display, then continue pre-judgement according to the Chinese character of input of user, if the non-selected Chinese character to be entered of user detected but start new input, then stop current pre-judgement but the input operation new according to user judges in advance.
