Abstract

The present invention relates to a character type input method for sound-shaped Chinese characters, which is characterized in that u, v and w are used for representing the initials of zh, ch and sh, and other initials are the same to keyboard letters; 21 letters same to the initials are combined with a letter y for representing finals, and the initials and the finals are combined to obtain 'sound'; a, e, i and o are used for representing tones and selecting the same codes; the character is dismantled into two components, and the first letters of the 'sound' of the two components are merged to obtain the 'shape' of the character; the character has the code of the character 'letter' with the addition of the character 'shape', and the codes of a word group are formed by the derivation of the character codes. The specific techniques of 'three-element self selection', 'feature code positions' and 'self selection of subsequent codes' of the present invention can accelerate the input; the present invention not only has the advantages of easy learning and rapid speed, but also has the sound correction performance and character performance simultaneously.

Description

Method for inputting Chinese characters by using their pronunciations and shapes

The present invention relates to a kind of is auxilliary based on word sound, font, with the universal keyboard letter to Chinese character by words encode the input method for inputting Chinese characters by using their pronunciations and shapes.

As everyone knows, the input of the keyboard of Chinese character is more more difficult than any alphabetic writing.Although domestic existing hundreds of Chinese character coding keyboard input methods also do not have a kind of both had learnability and rapidity, has the Chinese words Chinese word coding input method of standard pronunciation and character property again.For example, Mr.'s Zhou Zhinong " natural code " (publishing house of Beijing Economics College " Chinese microcomputer office automation software complete works "), though it has solved the reunification of rapidity and learnability preferably, but because it can not represent tone, the phonetic that is adopted is not broken through traditional Two bors d's oeuveres pattern, the font code part is not broken through traditional radical pattern yet, thereby still exists the memory burden heavy, the undesirable and incomplete defective of phonetic representation of input speed.For another example, " sound is digital " (Beijing Economics College publishes lining " Chinese microcomputer office automation software complete works ") of Mr. Tang Maokuan represented yin, yang, gone up, goes the four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation with j, x, v, h, have with the letter of expression initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and to conflict, tone key does not have the function of selection with the code word speech simultaneously, so it does not possess character property and input speed is undesirable.

The purpose of this invention is to provide and a kind ofly not only had learnability and rapidity, but also have the method for inputting Chinese characters by using their pronunciations and shapes of standard pronunciation and character property.

The present invention is a kind of method for inputting Chinese characters by using their pronunciations and shapes, uses the universal computer keyboard input Chinese character through redefining, and described method comprises the steps:

1) represent zh, ch, the sh of initial consonant respectively with u, v, w, other initial consonant is identical with key letter.

2) use 21 letters identical to represent simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, be specially qy-in conjunction with alphabetical y with representing initial consonant

3) represent yin, yang, go up, go the four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation and select sign indicating number together with a, e, i, o.

4) sound is pieced together mutually, meets then simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable reservation y of zero initial sound, otherwise removes y from simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, just obtains word " sound ".

5) divining by means of characters is former and later two parts with " two fens forming processes ", and the initial that merges two parts " sound " gets " shape " of word.

6) word " sound " that is encoded to of individual character adds word " shape "; The input code of individual character is divided into one, two, three, four, respectively gets last, two, three, four letters of its coding; When one, two, three input code of individual character took place with code word, first selected with space bar with code word, and all the other select and express simultaneously the tone of word with a, e, i, o with code word.

7) first word " sound " that is encoded to of two-character word adds second word " sound ".

8) first and second word " sound " initial that is encoded to of three words adds second word " sound ".

9) four words and the above speech of four words be encoded to first, second and third, the combination of last word " sound " initial.

When 10) fourth stage input code of individual character and phrase coding took place with the code word speech, first selected with space bar with the code word speech, and all the other are selected with a, e, i, o with the code word speech but do not express the tone of words.

The present invention is further described below in conjunction with subordinate list and embodiment.

Table 1 is the mapping table of initial consonant of the present invention, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and tone and key letter;

Table 2 is key mapping tables of the present invention;

Table 3 is character non-formation component tables of the present invention;

In table 1, represent zh, ch, three multiple initial consonants of sh respectively with u, v, w, other initial consonant is identical with key letter; Is simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable 2 classes by the complementary law merger of Chinese syllable, and uses 21 letters identical with representing initial consonant to represent in conjunction with alphabetical y, and the back adds the be "+y simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable " of y, and the front adds be " the y+ simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable " of y; When sound is pieced together mutually, then remove y for the non-zero initial sounds, then keep y for the zero initial sound, therefore, " sound " of any word all is combined into by two in above-mentioned 22 letters.Four letters of a, e, i, o of saving, just in time be used for expression cloudy (-), sun (/), go up (v), go () four tones, also can doublely do options button.

In table 2, the capitalization on the key is represented key name: the row of three on key lowercase is expressed as initial consonant and the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable that this key distributes; On the Y key+when being illustrated in the spelling zero initial, y and y+ should add y in the back with row's simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable with+y, should add y with y+ in front with row's simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable; What distribute on A, E, I, the O key is cloudy (-), sun (/), go up (v), go () four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation.

Because the tone of Chinese has the effect of difference meaning, so Chinese alphabetic writing must mark accent, and mark transfer must be with special letter.If transfer with other method mark, will make it not resemble a kind of literal.The present invention can accomplish this point, and its shape such as literal are so claim that it is " method for inputting Chinese characters by using their pronunciations and shapes ".

For example: mother, fiber crops, horse, four words of scolding, from table 1 or table 2 as can be known, their initial consonant is m, and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable is the b that removes y, and its " sound " all pieced together and is mb, and its " band tuning " then pieced together respectively and is mba, mbe, mbi, mbo.And for example: teacher, reality, make, look four words, its " sound " all pieced together and is wv, and its " band tuning " then pieced together respectively and be wva, wve, wvi, wvo.

Character shape coding of the present invention adopts " dichotomic type forming process " to divine by means of characters, institute's removable member constituting word, its " sound " is the sound of this word; Institute's removable member is a non-word, and then its " sound " is the sound of " character non-formation component table " (table 3) regulation.

The process of " dichotomic type forming process " is, word is split as former and later two parts, and make them is more preferential parts as far as possible; If certain part is not parts, then this part is continued to split and extract more preferential parts, merge " shape " that the initial of two parts " sound " of gained just must this word.

Say that at length " dichotomic type forming process " is made up of following three steps:

1. divined by means of characters in two minutes, be about to Chinese character and be split as former and later two parts, the result of fractionation has following 4 kinds of situations: two parts all are parts before and after (1); (2) forward part is parts, and back part is not parts; (3) rear section is parts, and forward part is not parts; (4) former and later two parts are not parts.

2. the extraction parts promptly partly continue to split and extract the high parts of priority level to non-parts and represent this part itself.After this process, front and back two parts have all become parts, are forepiece and back part respectively.

3. merge sound head, the i.e. initial of the initial+back part " sound " of " shape "=forepiece " sound ".

The front and back of part are to determine by the principle of " under the back, the left back right side is in the outer back of elder generation, perpendicular after elder generation is horizontal earlier in the elder generation ".

Parts are divided into three grades, and the one-level parts are the one-tenth words as the structure word, and its " sound " is exactly the sound of this one-tenth word; The secondary parts are the non-stroke parts in " character non-formation component table " (table 3), and its " sound " stipulated in table; Three grades of parts are the stroke parts in " character non-formation component table " (table 3), and its " sound " also stipulated in table.

The priority level of parts is such regulations: one-level parts rank is the highest, and the taking second place of secondary parts, three grades of parts are minimum; The parts of same level are many preferential of stroke then.Stroke also identical then by earlier go up afterwards descend, earlier the left back right side, earlier in the outer back, the principle of erecting behind the horizontal stroke earlier determines priority level.

The coding fully of individual character of the present invention and phrase all is isometric four-unit code, and promptly each is encoded fully and all is made up of four code elements.The coding of individual character is exactly that word " sound " adds word " shape ".In the coding of phrase, first word " sound " that is encoded to of two-character word adds second word " sound ", first and second word " sound " initial that is encoded to of three words adds trigram " sound ", four words and above (containing four words) speech be encoded to first, second and third, the combination of last word " sound " initial.The present invention is according to the high frequency principle of priority, and the words high more for frequency of utilization distributes the short more input code of code length.Input code is divided into one-level code, secondary sign indicating number, three grades of sign indicating numbers and four level code, and last, two, three, four code elements of getting corresponding coding fully respectively constitute.The 4th code element of four level code will be imported with capitalization.

As: " people " word be encoded to rgpn fully, but its input code is r; " calculation " word be encoded to szum fully, but its input code is sz; " meter " word be encoded to jvyw fully, but its input code is jvy; And " fat " word be encoded to yuyy fully, its input code is yuyY." calculating " be encoded to jvsz; " computing machine " be encoded to jsjv; " socialism " be encoded to whuy; " Chinese Communist Party " is encoded to uggd.

The present invention selects with the code word speech with a, e, i, o, and can express the tone with code word simultaneously.

For example: " mother ", " fiber crops ", " horse ", " scolding " four words all are the secondary words, according to table 1 as can be known initial consonant be m, simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable is by, because be not the zero initial sound, should remove the y in the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable during spelling,, repeated code be arranged so its input code all is mb, available a, e, i, o key are selected, and match with the tone of institute word selection, a that promptly shows high and level tone selects high and level tone word " mother ", and the e of table rising tone selects rising tone word " fiber crops ", the i of sound chooses word " horse " on the table, and the o of table falling tone selects falling tone word " scolding ".

The present invention has adopted multiple automatic selection technology to accelerate input speed.The present invention is divided into selection technology automatically " continuous sign indicating number is free ", " continuous symbol is free " and " ternary is free " three kinds." continuous sign indicating number free " technology is exactly behind the coding of being totally lost fully, if continue the input symbols key, then selects first automatically with the code word speech." continuous symbol is free " technology is exactly when importing 1～4 code element, if the graphic character key of the non-code element of input, non-options button will select first automatically with the code word speech." ternary is free " technology is exactly that for the coded input method that is encoded to quaternary fully, after three code elements of input, if will select first automatically with the code word speech with small letter input symbols key again, and the code element of being imported is used as first code element of next input code.Then must use capitalization if will import the 4th code element.Because words commonly used all is assigned short input code as far as possible, the words that therefore needs to import the 4th code element in actual input process is seldom." continuous sign indicating number is free " is the technology that nearly all encode method for entering Chinese characters has all adopted." continuous symbol is free " and " ternary is free " then are technological innovations of the present invention.

For example: after having imported three letters of jvy, first is " meter " with code word, if import lowercase again, " meter " word is with selected, and the lowercase of input will be used as first code element of next input code, does not resemble the existing input method need and choose with space bar.If will import " crucian carp " word (input code is jvyJ), then after having imported three letters of jvy, import the 4th code element (being J) with capitalization.If after import three letters, when then importing fullstop (i.e. " o " number) again, " meter " word also will be selected automatically, time needs space bar again.

The present invention is because the employing of " ternary is free " technology makes three grades of input codes become a kind of very special sign indicating number position.Three grades of sign indicating number sign indicating number positions of the present invention have 22*22*22=10648, also are that the present invention has 10648 condition code positions.Although it is millions of that Chinese words number has, for each specific input environment, its used words is generally all about thousands of.The basis that condition code position technology that Here it is is rely and set up.Condition code position technology is achieved in that code input system provides the initial value (initial value is general common words) of condition code position, each of user input will be to condition code position that it comprised assignment again greater than the words of three code elements, thereby makes the words on the condition code position with user's input environment adaptive dynamic change take place.After also can depositing, condition code words after the variation similarly reusing in the input environment for the user.

For example: if often use " crucian carp " word in certain input environment.When for the first time importing this word need be with four code elements (jvyJ), when importing this word next time, just only need are with first three code element, and promptly at this moment the word on the input code jvy has become " crucian carp ", rather than original " meter ".At this moment, the input code of " meter " word has then become jvyW.

Compared with prior art, the present invention has following advantage: (1) adopts textual phonetic, and tone has very strong standard pronunciation and character property with special letter representation.The assembly formula is succinct, and information capacity is big, and phonetic representation is comprehensive, and spelling rules is simple.(2) adopting " two fens forming processes ", all is this objective fact of phonogram from most modern Chinese characters, intuitively splits Chinese character naturally, meets the custom that people analyze Chinese character, has stronger unicity.

(3) build selection with the code word speech with a, e, i, o, and the tone of double literary name, make selection have rationality with the code word speech, be convenient to learning and memory, simultaneously because options button is a letter key, thereby than being easy to touch system with numerical key.(4) the present invention has played the effect of " quaternary is encoded, the triple bond input " by being used in combination of " ternary is free " and " condition code position " technology, and the input of general words only needs triple bond, has greatly improved input speed.Adopt " continuous symbol is free " technology to make the input of conventional sign have the function of selecting concurrently, further accelerated input speed.
