Description

Background

For example, some chinese input methods are based on handwriting, which generally have a low recognition rate and cannot be used for fast input.

The Chinese character coding method used in the input method extracts the simplest and easiest recognized structures in the Chinese character font structure-number of sides (four sides to one side), number of strokes (one stroke to four strokes) and intersecting font to define the basic font. The basic font of each letter only contains one of the three characteristic structures, and other strokes or fonts cannot be mixed, so that the effect of being clear at a glance can be achieved.

Because the basic font contains the characteristics which can be arranged in sequence, and other rules of the input method are set according to the characteristics, the input method learning and using are greatly facilitated.

In addition, the Chinese character coding method of the invention uses a complex and simple method (the character with the highest grade of the character is used for coding, and the grade is defined by referring to the number of edges and strokes of the character). The advantage is that the more the number of sides or strokes is, the more the structure is outstanding and the more obvious the character is, which becomes to select the most easily recognized part of the character to encode. Meanwhile, under the matching with other rules of the invention, different parts among different words can be selected to be coded, thereby reducing the chance of repeated codes.

Detailed Description

Various other benefits and advantages provided by various embodiments of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following description.

The inventors believe that a successful set of input methods must satisfy the following two conditions: (1) easy to learn and master. (2) Has high curative effect. It is not difficult to meet one of the above requirements, but it is not easy to find the "optimized" form by balancing the two because the Chinese font structure is very complicated and varied and the font forms are rich and varied.

Generally, the Chinese input method can be divided into two categories, one of which has a small number of letters and is relatively easy to learn, but the Chinese input method is difficult to avoid selecting characters and cannot achieve the highest efficiency. The other type of the Chinese character has more letters and higher efficiency, but is generally difficult to master. The former is suitable for small-sized devices such as portable telephones; the latter can be used on computer with keyboard to meet the requirement of user with higher input speed. The two types of input methods have long modes, but the user needs to master two different input methods at the same time, which is not very difficult.

Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for encoding chinese characters, comprising the steps of: dividing Chinese characters or words to be input into one or more font parts based on a decomposition rule, wherein each font part comprises: at least one basic font; based on code selection rule, selecting a corresponding character code for representing each character body part according to the basic character pattern contained in the character body part; and combining the selected corresponding character codes into character code combinations to represent the Chinese characters or the word needing to be input based on the coding rule. Wherein the font part includes: specifying the Chinese characters to be input or individual Chinese characters in the words to be input without or without splitting based on the splitting rule; wherein the words include: are respectively formed by combining two or more Chinese characters.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method of encoding Chinese characters of the present invention can convert ideograms, especially Chinese characters, into character code combinations, such as Chinese character decoding (102) which can be converted into character code combinations (4762) (104) by the Chinese character encoding method (100). Since each code "4762" can be directly inputted into the computer/computer device by using the computer keyboard, it can be used as the input method of the computer/computer by building the Chinese character coding table to store different ideograms and corresponding character codes. When using the input method, the user will firstly convert the Chinese character to be input into the character code which can be directly input by the keyboard through a certain rule, and call out the Chinese character to be input and "input" the Chinese character to the equipment by typing the correct character code into the equipment.

The above example of the access rules describes how to arrange the letters into different codes according to the different structure of each word. When letters are assigned to each key on the keyboard, the corresponding characters can be input via the typing code.

The correspondence between the code and the text is the basis of the input method. Third party software such as Microsoft's "universal input editing tool" and "Lyme input" can be used to build the semi-fractional input method in a computer or a mobile phone as long as the code is matched for each word. Alternatively, a dedicated program will be able to perform the input method more effectively.

For example, a user may execute a Chinese character input method in a computer device to input Chinese characters to be input. The computer equipment receives an input character code combination input by a keyboard, and then matches the input character code combination with a Chinese character coding table established by the Chinese character coding method; and displaying the Chinese characters matched with the input character code combination. The input method of the present invention may be referred to as the "semi-divisional input method" and is further illustrated in the following examples.

Preferably, the splitting step specified by the general pattern of the splitting rule comprises: the Chinese character to be input is divided into two font parts based on the character dividing method, and each obtained font part is further divided into two smaller font parts based on the character dividing method. For example, like the word "solve" 102 shown in fig. 1, a font of a word can be divided into two parts like a cut fruit to obtain two font parts of left (102A) and right (102B), and then the two parts are divided into four parts (referred to as detail parts) of 102A-I,102A-II,102B-I and 102B-II. And according to the stroke structures of the four parts and the code selection rule, respectively selecting a character code, and arranging the character codes according to the stroke order to obtain a character code combination of the character based on the coding rule.

In one example, a "base glyph" is defined as the smallest unit (including the nine simplest glyph structures) that makes up various fonts. It can no longer be decomposed and can only take one letter (equal to the corresponding word). Wherein a letter represents one or more "letter features", and each "letter feature" is composed of a "basic glyph" or a "basic glyph" with additional description. Thus, each "base glyph" can be mapped to a letter representing it via its "letter signature".

Preferably, the decomposition rule comprises: when each of the font parts contains more than one basic glyph and needs to be split into two smaller font parts as specified by the decomposition rule pattern, the font parts are split into two smaller font parts based on the de-typer method. This step may be repeated over and over until the steps specified by the decomposition rule pattern are completed. Some Chinese characters may have only one basic character pattern after being split (or the whole character) and cannot be further divided, so that some characters are encoded by less than four letters. The decomposition rule further comprises: and skipping the steps whenever the font part needing to be split or the Chinese character needing to be input is specified to have only one basic font and cannot be split any more.

In terms of stroke order, if other parts of font strokes are included among strokes of a "basic font", the respective first strokes should be taken as the stroke order. For example, the word "Tian" is the word in which the last stroke of "mouth" is after "ten", but the code fetch should be in the order of "mouth, ten".

Generally, a word can be easily divided into two by intuition alone. As for the division into four, this is only a division into two again. For some people, explicit guidelines may be preferred. The inventor generalizes six rules as a method for splitting fonts. They are respectively "word, half, minute, same, double and tangent". Wherein the < word, half, minute > are mainly defined according to intuition, and account for the majority; the "Tong, Shu, Cuo" are rules and regulations that are determined by the requirements, and belong to a few special cases.

Preferably, the word splitting method includes: preferably, the Chinese character to be input or the font part to be further decomposed is divided into two font parts which respectively contain a character, a radical or a common font style. When a font is composed of two different (same or different) words, it is easy to split them. For example, the "Ming" can be divided into "day, month" two words. This is also the most common way. However, when dividing a font into two by "words in a word", some radicals and common characters should be noted, such as: , ,

…, etc., are also included in the definition of the word.

The character splitting method further comprises the following steps: preferably, the Chinese characters to be input or the font parts to be further decomposed are divided into two font parts with similar sizes or square shapes. The (semi) option enables splitting of the font in such a way that the two parts are separated in a more "even, symmetrical, regular" shape. The method comprises the following steps: (1) the two parts are of similar size. (2) The font is split with a simpler split line (straight line). If "" high "" is broken down into "" high ""

instead of ,

"or

And mouth.

The character splitting method comprises the following steps: when the Chinese characters to be input or the font parts to be further decomposed comprise mutually separated parts, preferentially selecting to separate the Chinese characters or the font parts into the two originally mutually separated font parts; and when there are no mutually separated portions, preferentially selecting to split the Chinese character or the font portion into two font portions in which no strokes overlap each other in the Chinese character or the font portion; and when only the parts of the strokes which are overlapped with each other exist, preferentially selecting to split the Chinese character or the font part into two font parts with one stroke in the horizontal direction and the other stroke in the vertical direction. Naturally, two completely separate parts of the font would be preferred to split them. And secondly, only contact each other without two portions overlapping each other. The structure of the strokes that are overlapped together will generally be the last choice. If "clerical" is split into

、

Is not "" in "" but is not "" in "" and is below the water level.

The character splitting method comprises the following steps: when the Chinese character to be input or the font part to be further decomposed has a part similar to other Chinese characters or other font parts, the Chinese character or the font part is preferably divided into two font parts according to the difference of the Chinese character and the other font parts. Please observe the words like "tiger, virtual, worry" and "Sai, Zi, Sai", etc., which are very similar, and to avoid their codes being identical, it is preferable to split the words for their differences. Such as: "Tiger- , ji", "xu- , ye- …, etc.

The character splitting method comprises the following steps: when the Chinese character to be input or the font part to be further decomposed has a structure in which one font sandwiches another font, it is preferable to select to split the Chinese character or the font part into two font parts of the sandwiched and sandwiched fonts. As a result of this separation, one of the sections will sandwich the other section like two lips. Such as: "street-street and guy-caray", "petal- and melon …. However, please note that: during coding, the order of the codes still needs to be arranged according to the stroke order. The sequence of "street" is "slow, soil, Chu".

The fonts belonging to the separation mode of the same or double can be explained by the definition of the word in many cases. The division lines are irregular and difficult to be identified, so the descriptions are provided for the categories. In addition, they are not numerous, about twenty groups each.

The character splitting method comprises the following steps: when there are no separate parts among the Chinese characters to be input or the font parts to be further divided, an extended stroke or a multi-angle stroke separating one of the "kou" shapes is preferably selected to divide the Chinese characters or the font parts into two font parts. The "cut" Chinese characters are basically composed of different strokes, and can be deeply rooted in the brain and sea of the user. Therefore, when breaking characters, the single stroke should be avoided from being cut open forcibly. However, in the half-division input method, the strokes must be cut open to obtain reasonable codes in the following two cases.

The two-sided font includes: when a single stroke has more than one corner position, the multi-corner strokes may be separated at the corner position and belong to a two-sided glyph and other base glyphs.

There are very few fonts, with more than one hook angle (corner position) in a single stroke. As in the word "nai

It is cut at the corner to obtain the Chinese character' Chao

Two characters conforming to the definition of "letter character" of the half-division input method.

The quadrilateral includes: when one of the strokes of the "mouth" shape extends beyond the "mouth" shape, the extending strokes may be separated at the edge of the "mouth" shape and belong to the "mouth" shape and other basic shapes.

The font of "mouth" is very common in Chinese characters. It is also a very important element in the "letter character" of the half-division input method. Some font structures, while having a distinct "mouth" feature, have one (and only one) long tail. For example: the left one, the right one, the left one, the right one. At this time, they are also split into "" mouth, "", "" mouth, horizontal line "" and "" left-right "" by "" cutting "" means,

And so on.

Keeping in mind the convention of "cutting with one knife" is absolutely not permissible because cutting twice to obtain a "mouth" shape. For example: the 'Ju' word must be disassembled into

And, it is divided into and one.

The purpose of the establishment of the breaking rule is to hope that the user can break the font in the simplest and most intuitive way. Although the three rules of "word", "half", "division" can often yield the same result, they may conflict with each other. In this case, based on the above principle, only the most easily distinguishable way needs to be selected to disassemble them (the input method is optimized for the most easily distinguishable way, but the rest of the ways can be used generally).

The following is the "letter characteristic" of each letter defined by the half-division input method (ten-letter mode).

Preferably, each of said letter features comprises: divided into ten groups, each of said groups containing not more than two basic glyphs, different said alphabetic features in the same group may be constituted by said not more than two basic glyphs plus different additional descriptions, and the basic glyphs represented by each of said alphabetic features of the same group have the same number of sides or/and strokes. The letter patterns include: the ten letter pattern comprises ten corresponding character codes, and each corresponding character code represents different letter characteristics in each group. The half-divide input method (ten-letter mode) has ten letters. The numeric keys above the keyboard are used as keys by default. Depending on the position on the keyboard, from right to left, their letter names and key names (equal to the corresponding word) are: the term "mouth" is 0 "," middle "is 9", "day" is 8 "," month "is 7", "heart" is 6 "," person "is 5", "hand" is 4 "," ten "is 3", "days" is 2 ", and" 1 ". For convenience of presentation, they will be referred to below by their key names instead of their Chinese letter names. Such as: [ 0 ] represents the letter "mouth", [ 9 ] represents the letter "center" …, and so on. The Chinese character input method further comprises: the keys on the keyboard representing each input character code are corresponding to the corresponding character code with the same name.

The quadrilateral includes: is roughly square in shape like a Chinese character 'kou'. The "" mouth "" shape is the basis for the "" letter character "" of the half-divide input method. The "letter features" of three letters [ 0 ], [ 9 ], [ 8 ], [ all are "ports" -four sides. They are characterized in that there are no strokes in the "mouth" respectively. The interior of [ 0 ] is nothing. Such as: "Kou, Yi and Shi ren". The inside of [ 8 ] has one or two horizontal drawings, i.e., two fonts of "day, eye". And the other word-shaped structures in the port are classified as [ 9 ]. Such as: "Zhongtian, Siba, and Ba" …. However, please note that the code fetch of three letters is only the frame of "" mouth "", and the rest of the frames except the frame can be separated for code fetch. An encoding such as "hui" character is [ 90 ], not only [ 9 ] (wherein the definition of "letter character" refers to a part other than "mouth" character shape, which is called appearance, and belongs to a form of the additional description of the basic character shape).

The three-sided character pattern includes: the font of any missing side among the four sides of the font of "" mouth "". The shape of the mouth is removed to form an Jiong shape having three sides. This is the "letter feature" of [ 7 ]. It has four directions-

The strokes on both sides allow for a slight incline or small hook. Such as: the characters "an, Yi, shan, and Twenty" (left upper part), Yi, shan, Twenty) all include the character form of "letter character" belonging to [ 7 ].

The two-sided font includes: the three-edge font also has a font with one corner in a square shape, but the font of one side is not deleted. For example, the shape "Jiong" is removed to form

Shaped-only on both sides. Becomes the "" letter character "" of [ 6 ]. There are also four directions, which may be slightly inclined or small hooks. Such as:

and the like. In addition, the partial font is like "" "" and "" Fang "" of "" heart "" font

In some book bodies the form of their "corners" is less obvious, but they are still members of the letters [ 6 ].

The two-sided font further includes: a shape having substantially one of the corners of a diamond, a shape having an acute angle, or a shape having a hook shape. Wherein the square corners, diamond corners, acute corners, and hook corners represent additional descriptions of the two-sided font. The two sides of the font can also be called as "" corners "". The "letter character" of [ 5 ] and [ 4 ] is also an "angle". By contrast, four aspects of [ 6 ] in the "letter character" can be likened to the angles of the various directions in a square

And the letter character of [ 5 ] can be analogized to each corner of a diamond

Such as: ' Yu

Water (right part), etc. But based on the real situation of kanji glyphs (5) glyphs have glyphs in both the up and left directions (in the case of the nibs). In the half-divide input method, the glyphs ", " are defined as two points, which will be described later. The "angle" feature of [ 4 ] is either acute or hook-shaped. There are four modalities, including:

wherein the strokes of the hooklets may be slightly angled. For example

The relevant parts of the words are equal.

One font, two fonts, three fonts, four fonts include: have one to four strokes that are non-intersecting, consecutive in stroke order, and horizontal, straight, dot, and/or diagonal strokes that do not all intersect other strokes or all intersect other stroke or strokes. Wherein the horizontal, straight, diagonal, dots represent the additional description of the one-to-four glyphs. Wherein a horizontal direction, a straight direction and an oblique direction in the pen-shaped body are equal to those of the side-shaped body. The "letter character" of a side falls on the body of the letter [ 1 ]. It is understood that the inclusion of a point is not obvious, and therefore "" horizontal "" vertical "" horizontal "" vertical "" diagonal "" a point all belong to the letter [ 1 ]. The "letter character" of [ 2 ] is two horizontal, two straight, two oblique, two dot. The font includes: "two, middle (lower half), eight, don (middle part), mu (left and right left-falling), , ", etc.

The intersecting glyph includes: containing glyphs with two intersecting lines only. The glyph intersection is arranged in the letter [ 3 ]. The letter character is two lines crossing, there are three types, which are: "ten", "

"in the following. The structure of the intersection of two lines must be clear and definite and should not intersect with other strokes. Such as: the word "" can be divided into [ 12 ] and "" marketing "" word171﹞。

The above may be referred to as "main features" of each letter. Because there is also an "extension" (equivalent to a one-to-four stroke glyph) in the "letter character". This means that the pattern of the "letter feature" of [ 1 ] and [ 2 ] can be extended to other letters. This allows the letter [ 3 ] to also contain three crosses, three straight, three inclined, three points as its "" letter feature "". Such as: "san, Chuan, , Zhi (Chinese character) …, etc. And the letter [ 4 ] contains four straight and four points. The terms "Jie, rain, and water" are all defined in four points. Four straight lines are only one example of the middle part of the word "dance". Because of the actual condition of strokes of Chinese characters, there are no five horizontal, six-point and other character patterns. Thus, no other letters have an "extended feature".

Although the 'extension part' changes [ 3 ] and [ 4 ] into having 'dual feature', the form of three lateral movements [ 3 ] and four lateral movements [ 4 ] is very simple and direct, and the concept of four lateral movements [ 3 ] is not too difficult to do.

In addition, the base glyph also includes a special definition glyph. The following are five specially defined glyphs in the semi-fractional input method:

a grass head "-

Because of the side of the heart , the whole part takes the letter [ 6 ] (this font also has many kinds of writing methods)

Because of the character's character component, the whole part takes the letter [ 5 ]

Clothes character side because it is the character side of the clothes character, the whole part takes the letter [ 4 ]

In addition, the whole "heart" word is also a special definition word, and the letter [ 6 ] is also taken.

In addition, due to the special structure, the 'original' (ten, eight, one) and 'State' (

Chuan and' of

The font definition of three fonts is also different from the general way.

Although, when a word is divided into four parts, it is common that each part (i.e., "detail") has become very simple. In many cases, only one basic character is obtained in one detailed part, and no choice is needed. On the contrary, there are many cases where a plurality of basic fonts are included in a detailed part. The "primitive glyph" should be selected to correspond to the character code as will be explained below.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, 101 represents ten code selection priority levels from low to high. The encoding rules further include selecting the combination of words according to the selection priority of the letter features. Preferably, the letter features of each group include: the code selection priority level of the alphabetic character in each group is represented by the numbers 1 to 10 from low to high. And comparing the code selection priority levels of the letter characteristics to which each basic font in the font part belongs, wherein the corresponding code to which the letter characteristic with the highest level belongs is selected to represent the font part. For example, when multiple basic glyphs in a "detail" can be used as codes, the word codes representing the more complicated (the more complicated structure of the glyphs) basic glyphs are preferably selected.

As long as some details are omitted, it can be easily seen that: the basic font corresponding to the letter character of each letter is gradually simplified from four sides to one side from right to left according to the position of the basic font on the keyboard; the four strokes are gradually simplified into one stroke (in which the number of sides or strokes is larger, which means the character shape structure is more complicated, and the arrangement of the intersected character shapes on the letters [ 3 ] can also reflect the complexity of the character shape structure.

Preferably, the code selection priority level includes: the more the number of sides or/and strokes of the basic font represented by the letter features in each group, the higher the code selection priority level. The key includes: the positions of the corresponding character codes corresponding to the character codes on the keyboard are arranged in sequence from 1 to 10 according to the code selection priority level of the represented letter characteristics.

If the number in the key [ 0 ] is imagined as "10", the key names become a sequence from "1" to "10" (equal to ten levels of the selection priority of the letter character, the letter [ 0 ] represents level 10, and the other letter names are the same as level). The benefit of this is that the answer to the above-mentioned question can be written as a very concise statement: each primitive glyph in a detail is compared with its corresponding letter name, taking the largest number as the code. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a glyph that belongs to the letter [ 0 ] is selected first, followed by a glyph that belongs to the letter [ 9 ], followed by [ 8 ], [ 7 ] … …, and so on.

In another example, taking the word "tower" as an example, when encoding, one needs to take a code in its "detail" — in the word "co", but "co" contains three letters [ 5 ], [ 1 ], [ 0 ], and is selected as the last letter of the encoding of "tower" ([ 3120 ] because of the larger number of [ 0 ], [ 10 ].

Referring to fig. 1, where 103 represents the letters of the different parts 102A-I,102A-II,102B-I and 102B-II of the "solution" word, respectively, and the dark font represents the highest (largest number represented) level of the option priority in each part, 104 shows the selection of the highest level letter in each part according to the rules of the option priority, resulting in the code of the "solution" word, [ 4762 ].

Since the ten key names are arranged from right to left and from large to small on the keyboard, it is equal to the right letter having the right of preference for the code.

Meanwhile, when defining letters and arranging keys, the characters are arranged from right to left and from numerous to simple (from four sides to one side and from four strokes to one stroke) according to the complexity of character features, so that the 'taking the maximum number' is actually to take the numerous and simplified characters. The half-fraction input method uses the well-known technique of number size to achieve the purpose of using the convenient skill of "getting the largest number". The following three statements, the practical meaning of which are completely equivalent: and taking the left side as the maximum number.

Furthermore, the code selection rule includes: when the letter features with the highest code selection priority level are more than one, the corresponding character code which is highest in level and belongs to the letter feature with the higher writing stroke order of the represented basic font is selected to represent the font part. In some very specific examples, the following rules may be applied to help determine how to choose the glyph in a "detail": when more than one character form with the largest number is contained in one detail, the character form with the first stroke order is selected to fetch the code.

The 'extraction, reproduction and reduction' is the most key part of the semi-division input method. It deconstructs the glyph in a completely new way, and the person who first touches it may therefore have a misunderstanding: for each detail in the font, it is to compare the complex and simple results without time consuming. However, if about six thousand of the most commonly used words are all "one in two and two in four". This will result in many different "detail" fonts. Among these hundreds of fonts, only ten types can be found, which include two different "mouth" shapes (four sides). I.e., only ten cases, a trade-off between [ 0, 9, 8 ] and three letters is required. While there are two different "angles" (two sides) at the same time, one needs to take the alternative between [ 6, 5, 4 ], a little more, about sixty more. Therefore, in most cases, only simple point and line strokes need to be discarded to correctly fetch the code.

Finally, a point is supplemented: the difference between a few font styles is very small and difficult to distinguish, and the difference can be ignored in the half-division input method. Such as: ' Yu

(jade part) → king

(flesh portion) → month ″, and "glow (left portion) → light ″.

The ten-letter half-division input method is simple and easy to use, but if the requirement of a user seeking high speed and high efficiency is met, other keys on a keyboard can be matched and utilized as corresponding character codes. Preferably, the corresponding word includes: there may be different alphabetic patterns, each of which represents a different alphabetic feature in each of the alphabetic feature groups with a different number of corresponding codewords. For example, the alphabetical patterns include: the forty-letter pattern contains forty corresponding codewords, with five, four or three of the corresponding codewords representing different letter features in each group.

By detailing the ten letters of the half-stroke input method, it can be seen that each letter contains many different elements, and for example, [ 1 ] contains four features of "one cross", "one straight", "one oblique", and "one point". As long as each feature is made into a letter by itself, a new input method mode which has the advantages of multiple letters and is higher in efficiency is obtained in the transition period under the condition that other rules are not changed uniformly. Wherein "horizontal, straight, diagonal, dot" is equal to the additional description of the "pen" shape.

To distinguish them, the inventor named the half-division input method with ten letters as "Chinese code" (ten letter mode); after subdivision, a pattern of forty letters is named "golden code" (forty letter pattern). But there is no master-slave separation between them. It can be said that: subdividing the ten letters of the "Zhonghua code" into forty letters of the "golden code"; but the reverse can also be said: several related letters in the "gold stone code" are put on the same key to form the "Chinese code". This is equivalent to representing [ 1 ] by the letter feature of "" one stroke "", or representing [ 1 ] by the four letter features of "" one cross "", "" one straight "", "" one oblique "", and "" one dot ""

This configuration is advantageous, for example, in a ten letter mode for a cellular phone and a forty letter mode for a computer keyboard. It will be appreciated that different devices may have different input interfaces, including physical or virtual keyboards, where different numbers of keys may be provided for a user to input a code.

Referring to fig. 5, a keyboard layout of "gold code" is shown. Fig. 3 lists the "letter features" of the letters according to their positions on the keyboard (but slightly adjusted). Fig. 4 is a cross-reference listing of individual letters, alphabetic features, and glyphs to which they pertain.

In general, each letter is subdivided into four new letters, each of the new letters subdivided from the same letter is grouped into a group, and the same group of letters is sequentially arranged on the original letter and the keys below the original letter. Depending on the keyboard location, for example, the more common QWERTY keyboard layout, from left to right, from top to bottom, respectively:

[ 1 ] is subdivided into: in the description, the letter name is still replaced by the key name, and therefore, the letter name is still used for the key (in the description).

[ 2 ] is subdivided into: "2" - "two crossing" -, "W" - "two straight" -, "S" - "two skew" -, and "X" - "two point".

[ 3 ] is subdivided into: [ 3 ] is the word "" in which there must be an offset or a diagonal stroke above and below the word "" ten "". I.e. "king" or "nonyl" characterMiddle cross shape. "E" is also a cross-shape, but only a simple cross-picture, i.e. "soil" or "fly" must be drawn belowCross in (1). "D" also means "cross" font, and it is understood that "cross" font is other than the two same sets of letters. The glyph sibling letter [ D ] of the following two types of features: (1) only the upper part is provided with horizontal and oblique strokes. Such as in the two words "dry and thousandCross shape of. (2) A cross shape that touches the "non-simple" horizontal, diagonal strokes. Such as "early, branch, and peer". The same principle is as follows: the words "to", "Tang", etcCross in (1)It belongs to the letter [ E ] instead of the letter [ 3 ].

Two types of fonts.

The set of letters additionally has "" extended features "", which are: "3" - "three crossing" -, "E" - "three straight" -, "D" - "three skew" -, and "C" - "three point".

From the situation of [ 3 group ] it can be seen that the "letter character" of letters [ 3 ], [ E ], [ D ] is all a "ten" font, and to decide which font belongs to which letter, it must be considered that other strokes than "ten" are taken into account, which is called "appearance" (included in the additional description of the basic font). In Chinese codes, three letters [ 0 ], [ 9 ], [ 8 ] have been resolved by the "" appearance "". In the case of the diamond code, the "appearance" is more important, and care should be taken. Reminding people of: the strokes that make up the "appearance" may be coded as another part.

In addition, when a word containing an "appearance" is recited, it is usually the case that the "appearance" is not included in the code-capturing part of the alphabet in the description. For brevity, no further reference will be made below. It means that for the second segment above, the bottom-line content will be omitted.

[ 4 ] is subdivided into:

(R) ═ Chinese character handwriting

The "extension features" of this group are: and [ R ] is equal to "four straight" and [ V ] is equal to "four point".

[ 5 ] is subdivided into: [ 5 ] is a person, but must have an "appearance" -there are other strokes on both sides, in a "big" font. Such as: "fire, ridge" …, etc. The letter [ T ] indicates two types of font, i.e. "human" and "in". And [ G ] is the upper part of "gold". Below each of [ G ] and [ T ] there will be a font associated with it, such as: … but not TThis feature (the three letters are all pointed upward, but the "appearance" is different).

The angle point is to the left, such as: "woman, tour, water" ….

[ 6 ] is subdivided into:

and "" (corners under). Except for in the word "heart". Let [ Y ] be a "heart" font (special definition font).

And

two fonts (corner above).

And (5) waiting for the font. Note that the glyph is somewhat obtuse in shape, with one or both sides being slightly angled outward (this is what it is separately from [ H ]).

[ 7 ] is subdivided into: [ 7 ] is ═ T and

(left and right sides of the opening). "U" (open upward) is used. Let [ J ] be two glyphs, "" and "few". "M" ═ Jiong "(open down), there must be (and only) a two or three stroke" external feature "inside. Such as: "moon, straight", etc. It is noted that the words "Dan, uses, horns, and again" are not included herein.

The letter is subdivided into four new letters, but [ 7 groups ] because of the practical need, it is necessary to borrow a key position into the next adjacent [ 8 groups ]. Therefore, [ phi ], [ Jiong ] (with [ M ]) is open downward. It can be understood that in [ 7 groups ], the font with other openings down than [ M ] and [ J ] is shown. Such as: "Wai, Dan, Tong and Wai".

[ 8 ] is subdivided into: [ 8 ] is a font with (and only) an outline of the "appearance" inside the "mouth" shape. Such as: "day" is recorded in more words. Let [ I ] mean a font with a long "tail" as the "external feature". Such as: "Gong and Yin". The letter [ K ] has two crosscuts in the shape of a "mouth". Such as: "mu, Zi".

[ 9 ] is subdivided into: in the shape of [ 9 ], there are two straight lines, oblique lines or curved lines from top to bottom. Such as: , Qu, Si. [ O ] is a character with a straight line or oblique line in the shape of 'mouth' from top to bottom. Such as: "Zhongzhong, Shi, Ba". "character" of [ L ] can be understood as all other character shapes [ 9 group ] not included in the other three same group letters. Such as: …, etc. Let us say that there is a cross in the "mouth" as an "outer feature", but the midline must pass through both the top and bottom. Such as: "Shen, Yuan, electric" (note that the words "Tian, Yuan, first" etc. do not include them).

[ 0 ] is subdivided into: [ 0 ] is the word "mouth" that does not touch other strokes. Such as: "merge, edge, or". Except for the shape of the "mouth" below the word ". Let [ P ] be the word "mouth" below the word ". A long tail font is added. Such as: "known, dead, chased". [ a; is formed with a "mouth" under which other strokes come into contact. Such as: "foot, brother, Jing, Bean". The "" mouth "" shape above which the other strokes touch. Such as: "ancient, Shi, Ming, and Yi".

There are few "mouth" fonts, with strokes on both the top and bottom to touch them, and their letters should be defined in a structure that is later disassembled. For example, the character "g" is divided into two parts "ten, brother", so the shape "mouth" of the character "g" is based on the shape of "brother" to get the letter [ g; and (d) is (d).

The written habit is different, and whether touching or not is only a similar form and expression, and should be based on the attached word example.

For the remaining four "special definitions" glyphs, their "Chinese letter names" are used to illustrate that they are easier to remember (the key names are listed in parentheses). The method comprises the following steps: '', '', 'cloth (V)', 'flower head)' (W).

After each letter is subdivided, the previous numeral is used when the letter is simplified. This indicates that each letter in the same group of letters, whose "number" is the same. Therefore, the user can choose or choose the two with the stroke order. This allows the glyph selected for code fetching to be completely identical to the "Chinese code".

So far, two main letter modes of the half-division input method have been introduced. Other modes are of a secondary nature. For example, since forty letters can be placed on ten keys in a group to obtain a different letter pattern, a gourd can be drawn to create a twenty-six letter input method pattern to cater to users who are familiar with twenty-six English letters.

Fig. 7 shows the keyboard layout of this alphabetic pattern-twenty-six code. The letters on the upper row of number keys are combined with the letters on the keys below the number keys, and the letters on the right symbol key are moved to the left and combined into the adjacent keys. Only the "diamond code" letter name (one key includes a plurality of letter names) on each key is needed to operate according to fig. 7 (strictly speaking, the letters are not reduced, and only the keys are reduced). It is noted that the two "mouth" shapes of the letter [ P ] and the font with one long tail are separately incorporated into different keys [ P ] and [ L ].

Although input method patterns with different numbers of letters can be created arbitrarily, it is not guaranteed that each pattern can satisfy both the requirements of easy learning and efficiency. The half-score input method is not to combine or separate different letters at will, but to make each letter still related to each other when the letters are combined after numerous mutual matching and repeated correction, so people will not feel disorder or have no lattice. When the term "divide" is used, it has obvious features and is not easy to be confused. Finally, each mode has two advantages of low word selection rate and easy mastering.

For example, a multi-letter model will necessarily have more letter features, and if the character is split, different models will consider different letter features, and their simplicity and consistency cannot be maintained. However, the method for splitting characters in the semi-division input method only considers nine simplest basic character patterns and does not relate to letter characteristics, so that the only difference between a user with one-digit multi-letter mode and a user with one-digit ten-character mother mode is as follows: he only has to distinguish which of the several letters of the group he belongs to from the direction of the basic glyph, the difference between the points and the lines, the difference in stroke angle and its "appearance" (other rules are not changed).

In the above examples of the chinese code, the diamond code, the twenty-six code, etc., when the input character code is completely matched with the record of the chinese character code table, the matched chinese character can be input to the device. Alternatively, the input method may be arranged to receive input word combinations that match (at least) part of the records of said kanji code table, so that matching kanji can be input to the device. For example, all Chinese characters that at least partially match the record are displayed in a text index format for selection by the user to input the desired Chinese character into the device.

Preferably, the key representing each input character code includes: one of the keys may correspond to two of the corresponding codes. And selecting/pressing the key to equivalently input the two corresponding character codes.

Another alphabet pattern may be referred to as a "code". In this example, the letters of the "Zhonghua code" can be combined two by two into a new series of letters (more than one hundred). Such as … [ 12 ], [ 13 ] … [ 91 ], [ 92 ] … and the like. The word "different" is taken as an example to illustrate how to use the "one code" mode to input the word. The Chinese code of the 'different' word is [ 0612 ], the first part of the code is [ 06 ], so that the key of the letter [ 06 ] is pressed, the character selecting table arranges the selected character according to the second part of the code, the 'different' word is found in the position of '12', and the input is finished. Although there are not a few letters and characters, they are arranged in sequence, so that the characters can be input quickly by proper training. If too many characters are selected for the code [ 06 ] in the above example, the key of the letter [ 12 ] can be pressed to input the complete code. The mode can be changed into a text indexing mode of a system with similar operation requirements like a traditional dictionary by slightly modifying the mode.

Besides different alphabet patterns, the half-divide input method has two encoding patterns (equal to the different patterns of the decomposition rule) to expand the application range of the half-divide input method. Preferably, the half-element font comprises the most frequently occurring radicals or radical character shapes in thirty-four Chinese character fonts and the fonts similar to the radical character shapes.

The inventors consider the schema in this example to be an advanced schema, hereinafter referred to as the "half-element method". Preferably, this mode is able to minimize the word selection rate (the probability of having to select a word again after a word has been encoded) without increasing the "number of codes" (the average of the number of letters included in the code for each word). May be provided as part of the basic mode of the half-division input method.

Because the Chinese code has enough input efficiency to override other input methods with similar letter numbers without using the half-element method. Considering that beginners should grasp and apply the method as soon as possible, the "half-element method" is set as advanced skill, and the user can decide whether to learn or not.

The principal angles of the "half-element method" are thirty-four "half-element glyphs". Please refer to fig. 6. In the figure, each semi-unit font is arranged according to the position of the letter on the keyboard. If they are compared with the "diamond code" letter of fig. 5, it can be seen that they are very similar except that they are partially replaced by their own radical glyphs.

A "" half-cell "" can only be considered a "" quasi-half-cell "". Since they must be in the "correct" position to be truly "half-pel". The "correct" position can be simply understood as the most frequently occurring position of these glyphs (one of the top, bottom, left, and right sides of a word). And the following are strict descriptions thereof.

The semi-primitive shapes such as ", ," + -, , "center", etc. do not need to be remembered because they only appear in the upper or lower "half" of a word (which is about equal to one of the two parts after "dividing into two"). The remaining half-glyphs, except for bird, all must be in the left half. Therefore, it is only necessary to remember that bird is the only right half-cell, which must be on the right half-cell.

After recognizing how to distinguish the half-elements correctly, the code-fetching method can be known. The encoding rules may include representing the half-primitive glyph in one word code and representing the rest of the Chinese characters other than the half-primitive glyph in a combination of three word codes. For example, if a word contains "half-bits", the "half-bits" themselves take only one code, while the rest of the word (hereinafter "the other half") takes three codes.

The other half is broken down (i.e., divided into four) into two portions (i.e., thin portions), the first of which is understood to be the "header" (the portion with the first stroke order) and the remainder is referred to as the "secondary portion" (the portion with the second stroke order). The rule for taking the three codes for the other half is: the "" first portion "" preferably takes two codes, and the "" second portion "" preferably takes one code. If the header only gets one code (only one primitive word pattern, not subdivided), then the sub-portion can take two codes.

However, if the header is also a half-word, the situation is completely reversed. The "" first "" portion takes only one code, and the "" second "" portion can take two codes in preference. If the sub-part only has one code, the header of the half-word can still have two codes. Two codes are taken to mean that one is divided into two, and one code is taken respectively. This is the standard mode for code fetch for the half-division input method.

Specifically, the "half-element method" defines the most frequently occurring font structure (thirty-four "half-element fonts") in the Chinese character structure, and then minimizes the "seat" they occupy in the encoding. One of the two seats is assigned to the other half of the seat; the header belonging to the "" half-word "" also gives the "" secondary "" the opportunity to fetch two codes. Therefore, the parts with different fonts can be easily selected as codes, the condition that the codes are the same is avoided, and the character selection rate is reduced.

Alternatively, the encoding rule may include representing the half-primitive glyph in a combination of two codewords and representing the remaining portion of the Chinese character other than the half-primitive glyph in a combination of three codewords. When the "half-element method" is used in the "twenty-six codes", ten half-elements- , king, , fire, kerchief, sight, rooster, car, speech and stone "do not take only one code as in the case of the general half-elements, but they still take two codes (therefore, the" twenty-six code "has a partial character code with five letters). This can make up for the deficiency of the pattern that the character selection rate is slightly higher than the "gold stone code" because of the small number of letters.

The "other half" of the three-code method can have another simpler form. The rule is as follows: if both the header and the sub-header have two codes, the smallest number is eliminated.

Advantageously, the "half-cell method" is said to be most suitable for users seeking extreme speed and efficiency. However, if the appropriate amount of word selection is not desired, the encoding method of the semi-division input method can also be simplified from the opposite direction, for example, the encoding rule may include defining the combination of the word codes to have one to two word codes. In this example, only two letters at most need to be pressed when typing each word. This mode can be understood as a simplified mode-the code fetch of the "two-code mode" is: dividing one into two, each taking one code.

Preferably, the distinction between the three coding modes can be illustrated by the following metaphors: the term "two plus two" is used in general (without half-element method), "one plus three or three plus one" is used in half-element method, and "one plus one" is used in two-code mode.

In addition, the simplified character can also utilize a half-division input method. Fig. 8-9 show the keyboard layout for the simplified half-divide input method. The "" half-primitive font "" of the simplified font is listed below.

Referring to fig. 5-6, the most obvious difference between the complex and simple "half-divisions" is the letter name (the Chinese letter name is used for convenience, and the half-division input method can still operate as usual only by using the key name). In simplified words, the original three letters "car (car), bird (bird), and hua (hua)" must be "moved" to other keys (no longer letters) because of the change in the font, and the original positions are replaced by "shen", "gung", and "".

In addition, the radical writing method of 'Chinese, gold' has a great change in simplified characters, so they are treated in a 'special definition' way to avoid too large difference in code fetching results of complex and simplified characters.

A radical writing method of Chinese character "" is disclosed, wherein the whole character is represented by letter [ character ]/Chinese code (0).

The radical writing method of character form-gold, the whole character form takes the letter [ gold ] (G)/Chinese code (5).

In the "half-cell method", two "half-cells" are "migrated", because of the new "features" -of the "vehicles

The key to which it belongs has an additional "" half-primitive "" so it must be removed from the "" half-primitive "" family. The bird is a right half-member, and is located on a key with the horse, but still retains the position of the right half-member.

The input method of the present invention can also provide the following operational skills of the auxiliary functions. Such as inputting words, typing, extracting, etc.

Rules for inputting words include: two words, two codes for each of the two words. "three-character word" -the first character takes two codes, and the other two characters take one code respectively. Four words, each of the four words takes one code. "words more than four words" -the first three words each take one code, and the last word takes one code.

Other functions can assist the user who holds the pen and forgets the character by adding an additional key (not the key used by the letter of the half-division input method, such as, for example, [ \\/-or the like) or an additional letter (the key of the letter of the half-division input method) in front of the code of a certain character. The latter is an "alphabet key", and when used in conjunction with a word which itself codes only three or less letters, the "additional letter" must be repeated to add up to a total of five (six in the case of "super-half-unit") letters. To avoid confusion with the encoding of the generic word. The following are exemplified:

the 'homophone input' can be used to press an 'additional key' or an 'additional letter' in front of the 'beautiful' word code, and the 'every' homophone can be printed out. (the "" additional key "" and the "" additional letter "" will be marked with the symbol [ hereinafter, not described further.)

"near sound word input" — pressing [ or ] or [ 9 ] ahead of the code of "beautiful" word can beat its near sound word "micro".

"initial entry" -in front of the encoding of the first word of the word "beautiful" -plus [ [ and [ 8 ] can beat the second word of the word "look".

An "" end of word "" input "" in front of the encoding of the second word of the "" look "" word plus the first word of the word "" look "" which can be punched out of the word [ or [ 7 ].

"simple to shoot" - "the simplified word" hua "", which is added before the code of "" HUA "", is pressed [ a' ] or [ 6 ].

"simplified propagation" -its complex word "" is driven by pressing [ \ or [ 5 ] in front of the code of "" Hua "".

When inputting words, in order to avoid increasing the word selection rate because the codes of the words are the same as those of common words, an additional letter can be added in front of the word codes. The method comprises the following steps: "four or more words in word number" available [ 4 ], "three words" available [ 3 ], and "two words" available [ 2 ].

Because the gold stone code is used in conjunction with the half-element method, the character selection rate is very low, and a code can be additionally arranged for each character needing character selection to avoid the character selection operation.

"generation selection encoding" -either ahead of the "center" encoding plus [ S ] or ahead of the "two-code mode" encoding of "center" -can be printed without selecting words. (the second method does not have to be taken care of the provision that the total number of codes for the "additional letters" is not less than five, but there are additional rules for the partial words, if necessary)

All the functions are only arranged in terms of codes, and no additional requirements are required for an input method program. In addition, the half-division input method also provides some using modes which need the matching of input method programs. For example: when Caps Lock is enabled, the input words may be lexically encoded. Thus, it is not necessary to press additional letter without affecting the character selection rate.

It can be seen that although the semi-fractional input method is named as "fraction", its true purpose is just the opposite. Advantageously, the binary input method can find the best balance between "easy to learn" and "efficient", and includes both "multi-letter" and "few-letter" modes and their advantages. Finally, the Chinese input method is unified in a simple and effective encoding mode.

Thus, having described several embodiments, it will be recognized by those of skill in the art that various modifications, additional structures, and equivalents may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the above description should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims of the present application.
