Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an input method and related device. In the input method, a sequence of pinyin letters is received from a user. In response to detecting that a first pinyin unit in the sequence of pinyin letters is modified to a second pinyin unit, the input method updates a count that the first pinyin unit is modified to the second pinyin unit, wherein the first pinyin unit and the second pinyin unit form a fuzzy-tone pairing. In response to determining that the count exceeds the predefined threshold, the input method enables a fuzzy tone function for replacing the first pinyin unit with the second pinyin unit.
Description
Technical Field
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to input methods and related devices, and more particularly, to pinyin input methods.
Background
The chinese pinyin input method allows a user to input a chinese character by inputting the pinyin for the chinese character. Pinyin input methods typically present a user with a series of chinese characters, also referred to as candidate words, having pronunciations corresponding to the pinyin. Pinyin is designed based on the pronunciation of mandarin chinese. In china, and even throughout the world, there are various local accents. This means that many users speaking chinese or mandarin chinese have difficulty distinguishing phonetic units of similar pronunciation, e.g., n and l, of pinyin. The fuzzy sound function may allow a user to input the similarly-pronounced pinyin elements by not distinguishing the similarly-pronounced pinyin elements.
Disclosure of Invention
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an input method is provided. In the input method, a sequence of pinyin letters is received from a user. In response to detecting that a first pinyin unit in the sequence of pinyin letters is modified to a second pinyin unit, the input method updates a count that the first pinyin unit is modified to the second pinyin unit, wherein the first pinyin unit and the second pinyin unit form a fuzzy-tone pair. In response to determining that the count exceeds a predefined threshold, the input method enables a fuzzy tone function for replacing the first pinyin unit with the second pinyin unit.
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description.

Detailed Description
The present disclosure will now be discussed with reference to several example embodiments. It is understood that these embodiments are discussed only to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to better understand and thus implement the present disclosure, and are not intended to imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.
As used herein, the term "include" and its variants are to be read as open-ended terms meaning "including, but not limited to. The term "based on" is to be read as "based, at least in part, on". The terms "one embodiment" and "an embodiment" are to be read as "at least one embodiment". The term "another embodiment" is to be read as "at least one other embodiment". The terms "first," "second," and the like may refer to different or the same object. Other explicit and implicit definitions are also possible below.
The basic principles and several exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a computing device 100 capable of implementing multiple embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the computing device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting in any way the functionality and scope of the embodiments described in this disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, computing device 100 comprises computing device 100 in the form of a general purpose computing device. Components of computing device 100 may include, but are not limited to, one or more processors or processing units 110, memory 120, storage 130, one or more communication units 140, one or more input devices 150, and one or more output devices 160.
In some embodiments, the computing device 100 may be implemented as various user terminals or service terminals. The service terminals may be servers, mainframe computing devices, etc. provided by various service providers. A user terminal such as any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including a mobile handset, multimedia computer, multimedia tablet, internet node, communicator, desktop computer, laptop computer, notebook computer, netbook computer, tablet computer, Personal Communication System (PCS) device, personal navigation device, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), audio/video player, digital camera/camcorder, positioning device, television receiver, radio broadcast receiver, electronic book device, game device, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices, or any combination thereof. It is also contemplated that the computing device 100 can support any type of interface to the user (such as "wearable" circuitry, etc.).
The processing unit 110 may be a real or virtual processor and can perform various processes according to programs stored in the memory 120. In a multiprocessor system, multiple processing units execute computer-executable instructions in parallel to increase the parallel processing capability of computing device 100. The processing unit 110 may also be referred to as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), microprocessor, controller, microcontroller.
The communication unit 140 enables communication with another computing device over a communication medium. Additionally, the functionality of the components of computing device 100 may be implemented in a single computing cluster or multiple computing machines, which are capable of communicating over a communications connection. Thus, the computing device 100 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more other servers, Personal Computers (PCs), or another general network node. Computing device 100 may also communicate with one or more external devices (not shown), such as storage devices, display devices, etc., communicating with one or more devices that enable a user to interact with computing device 100, or communicating with any devices (e.g., network cards, modems, etc.) that enable computing device 100 to communicate with one or more other computing devices, as desired, via communication unit 140. Such communication may be performed via input/output (I/O) interfaces (not shown).
The input device 150 may be one or more of a variety of input devices such as a mouse, keyboard, touch screen, trackball, voice input device, and the like. Output device 160 may be one or more output devices such as a display, speakers, printer, or the like.
The principles of embodiments of the present disclosure are discussed below using a Chinese pinyin input method as an example. The user may enter the pinyin characters or sequences of pinyin characters via an input device 150 such as a keyboard. The input method in module 122 may receive user input from input device 150 and provide output (e.g., candidate words, etc.) to output device 160, such as a display, for selection by the user. FIG. 2 illustrates a user interface 200 of an input method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the user desires to input the Chinese character "China". The user first inputs the pinyin-character sequence "zhonghua" 210 corresponding to "china". The input method then returns some candidate words 220. For example, the candidate words may include: "China", "flower planting", "neutralization", etc., as shown in FIG. 2. The user may select the desired candidate word "china" at which point the input method determines the candidate word and may enter the candidate word into a corresponding input window, such as a document or web page.
Some users may have a problem with blurry sounds for reasons such as dialects. For chinese, common fuzzy-tone pairings include: zh and z, ch and c, sh and s, n and l, r and l, in and ing, en and eng, an and ang, h and f, and the like.
To address these problems, a series of options may be provided in the pinyin input method for the user to select whether certain fuzzy-tone functions are enabled. However this only works if the user realizes that they have a problem with fuzzy tones. Meanwhile, some users know that they have a problem of a blur sound, but do not know which pair or pairs of blur sounds are specific, and thus cannot perform accurate setting.
In addition, some pinyin input methods automatically return a small number of candidate words corresponding to fuzzy pairs formed with the input sequence of pinyin letters, as the case may be. However, this approach may interfere with users who do not have the ambiguity problem, and may not provide enough candidate words for users who do have the ambiguity problem.
To more clearly describe the principles of the present disclosure, fig. 3 and 4 illustrate an example input process according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In the present embodiment, the user desires to input the chinese character "Nanjing". The correct phonetic alphabet sequence of the Chinese character "Nanjing" is "nanjing". However, the user may have a problem of a fuzzy sound that mistakes "l" as "n". Thus, the user enters the pinyin-character sequence "lanking". In this case, the input method returns a candidate word 320 corresponding to "lanking," as shown by interface 300 in FIG. 3. At this time, the user finds that "Nanjing" is not input in the candidate word 320 as intended, and recognizes that the pinyin-character sequence input by himself is erroneous, thereby modifying the pinyin-character sequence from "lanjing" to "nanjing". For example, modifying "lanjing" to "nanjing" essentially means that the first pinyin unit "l" is modified to the second pinyin unit "n". The pinyin element may be composed of one or more pinyin letters. For example, a pinyin element may represent an initial or a final, such as the initial or final in a fuzzy-tone pair, e.g., "zh" or "ang".
In one embodiment, this modification from "lanking" to "nanking" is accomplished by moving the cursor to "l" of "lanking," deleting "l", and typing "n". In another embodiment, this modification is accomplished by deleting "lanking" and re-typing "nanking". In other embodiments, this modification may also be done with only additional inputs, for example, modifying "cifan" to "chifan" to enter "eat" or "fanxue" to enter "school".
As shown in FIG. 4, in interface 400, the input method returns a candidate word 420 corresponding to the modified Pinyin alphabet sequence "nanjing". At this time, the user may select a desired input "Nanjing" from the candidate words 420.
As can be seen from the above example input process, a user typically makes redundant inputs when there is a ambiguity problem. When the user inputs the wrong pinyin character sequence due to his own fuzzy sound problem, the user cannot obtain the desired chinese text from the candidate words. In this case, the user is usually aware of his own input error. The user may then modify the pinyin-character sequence to correct the pinyin-character sequence until the user sees the correct candidate word. The user may select the desired candidate word to complete the input.
Based on this, some embodiments of the present disclosure detect whether a user has a user-specific type of ambiguity problem by counting the user's modifications. Fig. 5 shows a flow diagram of an input method 500 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
At 502, a sequence of pinyin letters is received. The sequence of pinyin letters may include one or more pinyin letters, such as the pinyin sequence "lanking" entered in fig. 3.
At 504, in response to detecting that a first pinyin element in the sequence of pinyin letters is modified to a second pinyin element, a count is updated that the first pinyin element is modified to the second pinyin element. The first pinyin unit and the second pinyin unit form a fuzzy-tone pair. The pinyin element may be composed of one or more pinyin letters. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first pinyin element is "l" and the second pinyin element is "n", which form the fuzzy pairs.
In some embodiments, the fuzzy tone pairs are selected from a predefined set of fuzzy tone pairs. The set of predefined pairs of blurs may be the pairs of blurs zh and z, ch and c, sh and s, n and l, r and l, in and ing, en and eng, an and ang, and h and f, etc. as described above.
Various methods may be used to detect the first pinyin element and the second pinyin element in a sequence of pinyin letters. In some embodiments, at least one candidate word corresponding to a sequence of pinyin letters may be displayed on the display. The input method may then receive no selection of a candidate word, but a modification to the sequence of pinyin letters. For example, in the examples of fig. 3-4, the input method does not detect a user selection of a candidate word for "lanking," but detects a modification to the pinyin-character sequence. Based on this, it can be determined that the pinyin-character sequence is "lanking". After the user modifies the pinyin-character sequence, a selection of a candidate word by the user may be received, and a determination may be made as to whether the pinyin-character sequence is modified based on the selection of the candidate word. For example, in the examples of fig. 3-4, the user selected the candidate word "Nanjing". In this case, the pinyin-character sequence modified by the user may be determined to be the current pinyin-character sequence "nanjing". Based on the pinyin letter sequences 'lanjing' and 'nanjing' before and after modification, the difference between the pinyin letter sequences 'lanjing' and 'nanjing' can be determined, and then the first pinyin unit and the second pinyin unit are determined.
In the case where both pinyin units are a single pinyin, the two pinyins before and after modification can be easily determined as the first pinyin unit and the second pinyin unit. In other cases, the first pinyin unit and the second pinyin unit may be determined based on the initial and final of the pinyin. In some examples, a pinyin cell may be defined by determining whether the distinction is an initial or a final. For example, if the pinyin-character sequences before and after modification are "cifan" and "chifan", a pair of initial fuzzy sounds "c" and "ch" may be determined by the division from the final (i in this example). In this way, the first pinyin element may be determined to be "c" and the second pinyin element may be "ch".
It should be appreciated that any other suitable method may be used to detect modifications in the pinyin-character sequence. For example, the input method may track the user's input and analyze the modifications in the input process. For example, the user may modify "l" in the Pinyin alphabet sequence "lanjing" to "n" during the input process. The input method may determine modifications in a sequence of pinyin letters by analyzing this process without relying on selection of a candidate word, by adjacent pinyin letters.
In some cases, if a modification in the sequence of pinyin letters is detected, but the modification does not form a fuzzy-tone pair, then this need not be counted. The user may also modify the sequence of pinyin letters due to typographical errors, etc. Such modifications are typically not related to the blur sound, but may be related to the keyboard layout or the like. In this way, the impact of input errors unrelated to fuzzy tones can be reduced and system resources reduced.
At 506, it is determined whether the count exceeds a predefined threshold. For example, if the user wants to input "latte for milk of Nanjing" and input a corresponding one of the pinyin letter sequences "langingdezhanglangailai iyingliulizouzhizuolitite" through the input device 150. At this time, the candidate word "Nanjing milk latte" which is a candidate word desired by the user is not included in the candidate words displayed on the display. Accordingly, the user modifies the pinyin-character sequence to "nanjingzhanainianyingniuniuzhizunation" through the input device 150. At this time, the candidate words presented by the input method include "latte is made from milk for milk in Zhangniu of Nanjing". Since the pinyin letter sequence is modified six times from the first pinyin element "l" to the second pinyin element "n", a count of 6 may be counted. If the predefined threshold is 5, the count exceeds the predefined threshold.
In another example, the user enters "Nanjing", "milk", "latte", etc. in multiple Pinyin alphabet sequences, respectively, and modifies "l" to "n" each time. In this case, the count of such modification is "5" before the user inputs "latte". At step 502, the pinyin-character sequence "late" and the modified pinyin-character sequence "nateiy" are received from the user. At this time, the count is updated to 6. Thus, the number of such modifications exceeds the threshold 5.
In some embodiments, if the count is determined to be below the predefined threshold at 506, the mute function is kept disabled. For example, the input method may switch back to 502 to continue receiving the sequence of pinyin letters.
If it is determined at 506 that the count exceeds a predefined threshold, then the fuzzy tone function is enabled at 508. In some cases, it may be considered whether the count of such modifications exceeds a predefined threshold (e.g., 5 times) over a predefined input period (e.g., 1 week). If the modified count is below 5 times in 1 week, the modified count may be reset to zero.
In some embodiments, when this mute function is enabled, the state of another mute function corresponding thereto may be maintained. The corresponding fuzzy sound function may be used to replace the second pinyin element with the first pinyin element. For example, in the case where a fuzzy tone function for replacing "l" with "n" is enabled, the state of the fuzzy tone function corresponding thereto (which is used for replacing "n" with "l") may be maintained. In this example, if the corresponding blur sound function is not previously enabled, a state in which the corresponding blur sound function is not enabled may be maintained when the blur sound function in which "l" is replaced with "n" is enabled. If the corresponding fuzzy tone function has been enabled, the state in which the corresponding fuzzy tone function has been enabled may also be maintained when the fuzzy tone function in which "l" is replaced with "n" is enabled. In these embodiments, the input method may accurately track user-specific fuzzy-tone problems, and may even be accurate to one-way fuzzy-tone problems. Thus, this input method enables as few fuzzy tones as possible that are not relevant to the user, thereby providing as little (or even no) redundant information as possible in solving the fuzzy tone problem.
In some embodiments, enabling the fuzzy sound function may be an input method or the input method module 122 automatically enables the fuzzy sound function. For example, it is determined whether the subsequent sequence of pinyin letters includes the first pinyin element. If the subsequent pinyin-character sequence includes the first pinyin element, a candidate word associated with the modified subsequent pinyin-character sequence is displayed. The modified subsequent pinyin-character sequence is obtained by replacing a first pinyin element in the subsequent pinyin-character sequence with a second pinyin element. FIG. 6 illustrates a user interface 600 of an input method after turning on the blur sound function according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the user enters a pinyin-character sequence 610 ("lanjing"), and candidate words associated with "nanjing," such as "nanjing," "south jing," etc., may be displayed, as shown by candidate word 620. In addition, candidate words corresponding to the original unmodified sequence of pinyin letters may also be displayed. For example, in the user interface 600, candidate words such as "blue whale", "blue mirror" and the like corresponding to the pinyin-character sequence "lanjing" are also displayed.
In some embodiments, the input method may also prompt the user to enable the fuzzy sound function. The user is asked whether this mute function is enabled, for example, by displaying a prompt window on the display. In some examples, the user may be gradually guided to an option to enable the relevant fuzzy tone function. This mute function is enabled if a confirmation of the user is received.
In some embodiments, the input method may send information indicative of the fuzzy tone function to the server for synchronization with other devices of the user. For example, the ambiguity questions and/or related settings may be stored in the cloud for synchronization with other devices of the user. When a user logs into an account on another device, relevant information and/or settings may be automatically obtained to facilitate user input.
