Description

Four-vowel and two-initial consonant Chinese character input method

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an input method for converting Chinese characters into computer-processable forms, in particular, it relates to a four-vowel two-initial-consonant Chinese character input method.

Background

The present keyboard input method can not encode according to the use frequency of Chinese characters and words due to the limitation of its system, and there are many words with high use frequency, and it must also at least click the three-time key (including space key) to complete the input, so the input speed is slow.

Some input methods are faster, but the split etymons of the input methods do not accord with the word-making rule, are difficult to remember, and have complex coding rules, so that many non-professional typewriters are often prohibited. The popularity is poor.

The pinyin input method which is easy to learn is not only slow, but also has strict requirements on pronunciation. Once the incorrect initial or final is taken, the required Chinese character cannot be typed, so that users in many dialect areas are bitter.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the defects of the prior art, a simple and easy-to-learn four-vowel two-initial-consonant Chinese character input method with high input speed is provided.

The invention is a keyboard Chinese character input method which is researched by taking Chinese pinyin as a basis, taking the first stroke and the last stroke of characters and words as assistance and taking optimized combination as means aiming at the use frequency of Chinese characters and words, and the technical scheme is as follows:

first, keyboard design

1. Defining a key name: the typing area on the keyboard has 48 character keys (including space key), wherein, the 26 English letter keys take the original English letter on the key as the key name; the 10 number keys take the original Arabic numerals on the keys as key names; the rest 12 keys use the specified Arabic numerals with dots or bars added above as key names; the 12 keys have the following correspondence relationship with the key names thereof:

original key face symbol: <? : "{ } - + * -blank

，。/ ； ’ [ ] - ＝\ `

Newly defined key names:

wherein,

read as a "dot one",

read as "bar one", other newly defined key names, and so on.

2. Dividing rows and columns: divide the 48 character keys

The outer 44 character keys are divided into four rows and eleven columns, wherein the first row is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0,

The fourth behavior Z, X, C, v, B, N, M,

(this scheme will be

A key viewed as the fourth row); the first column is 1, Q, A, Z, the eleventh column is

3. Defining the initial consonant: dividing initial consonants in the Chinese pinyin scheme into eleven groups, and respectively defining the ten rows of keys on the second row and the third row, wherein the corresponding relation between the initial consonants and the key names is as follows:

q, A Key set z, zh W, S Key set S, p, sh

E. D key setting D, m R, F key setting y, O

T, G Key set q, t Y, H Key set H, g

U, J Key set j, r I, K Key set x, K

o, L key setting L, f P, 4 key setting w, b

Key settings c, n, ch

The consonant O at the R, F key is only the consonant of the syllable beginning with a, O, e. For simplicity, in the keyboard diagram, the initial consonant is only marked on the second row of keys, and in fact, the identical initial consonant with the second row is still defined on the third row of keys, and the initial consonants z, c, s also respectively represent zh, ch, sh.

4. Defining a final: dividing vowels in the Chinese pinyin scheme into eleven groups, and respectively defining the vowels on eleven rows of keys from the first row to the fourth row, wherein the corresponding relation between the vowels and the key names is as follows:

1. q, A, Z keys set i,

2. W, S, X keys are set to en, er, in, un

3. E, D, C keys set an, ian, ua and ua

4. R, F, V keys ai, ei, uai, ui

5. T, G, B Key settings u, ou, iu

6. Y, H, N keys are set to o, e, uo, ie, ue

7. U, J, M Key set-i, u

8、I、K、 Key settings a, ia, ua

9、O、L、 Key settings ang, iang, uang

0、P、4、

Key settings eng, ing, ong, iong

Key settings ao, iao

The vowel i defined on the first column of keys refers to vowels of eleven syllables of bi, pi, mi, di, ti, ni, li, ji, qi, xi and yi, and the vowel-i defined on the seventh column of keys refers to vowels of seven syllables of zhi, chi, shi, ri, zi, ci and si;

on the keyboard diagram, the vowels are marked on the first row of keys only, and actually, the vowels completely identical to those in the first row are still defined on the other three rows of keys, and each vowel marked on the keyboard diagram represents other vowels which are consonant with the vowel.

5. Defining a page turning key:defining as a single word page turning key;

is defined as a double-word page turning key;

is defined as a page turning key of multi-word.

II, encoding rules:

the method takes words as coding objects, and considers the characters, words and phrases in Chinese as words, and the basic coding rules of the words are as follows: each word has two-bit code, the first bit is the initial code of the first word and the second bit is the final code of the last word. The initial consonant codes are the key names of the initial consonants, and the final sound codes are the key names of the final sounds. Since the initials and finals defined on the same column are the same, there is more than one key where the initials or finals of a word are located. In order to further determine which key name of a specific key the initial consonant code or final sound code of a specific word should be, initial consonant code rules and final sound code rules are also specified:

1. and (3) sound code rule: all the first stroke is a horizontal or left-falling word, and the sound code is taken in the second row uniformly; all the first stroke is a word with other strokes, and the sound code of the first stroke is uniformly taken in the third row;

2. the rhyme code rule is as follows: the vowel codes of words with four characters or more than four characters are uniformly selected in the first row;

the vowel codes of the first, second and third words are taken according to the following regulations: all the last stroke is a horizontal (including lifting) or left-falling word, and the vowel code is uniformly taken in the second row; all the last stroke is a word to be pressed or folded, and the final code is uniformly selected in the third line; all the last stroke is a vertical or dot word, and the final sound code is taken in the fourth row.

Thirdly, the input method of the common words is as follows:

(1) inputting a sound code;

(2) inputting a vowel code: at this time, a prompt line displays twelve optional coincident code words, wherein the first word has no selection serial number and is a self-selection word, and the subsequent words have selection serial numbers and are words to be selected; the first item in the to-be-selected words is a selected word;

(3) selecting: if the number key is clicked, the corresponding word to be selected is displayed on the screen; if the space key is clicked, selecting a blank word and displaying the blank word on a screen; if the user does not hit the numeric keys and the space keys but input the text, the user can select words to be displayed on a screen; if the word to be input is not displayed in the prompt line, the word to be input is searched according to whether the word to be input is a single word, a double word or a multiple word by clicking the corresponding page turning key.

Fourthly, the input method of the high-frequency words or punctuation marks is as follows: the method sets some high-frequency words or punctuation marks on specific keys and defines a special input method for the keys:

(1) the corresponding relation between the high-frequency words or punctuation marks and the key positions occupied by the high-frequency words or punctuation marks is as follows:

key name: QWERT Y U IO P

High-frequency words: it also appears that the person is when walking and speaking

Get home and go for a long time

Chinese character' Tao

Key name: aSD F G H J K L

High-frequency words: there are two you on this place, he and just

Great daily use of her best-effort mountain essence

Key name: z X C V B N M

High-frequency words: we want a person to know whether they do not know anything but here. But instead of the other end of the tube

(2) The character input method comprises the following steps:

the characters on the fourth row of keys on the keyboard are all arranged horizontally, and the input method is as follows: clicking the key once, and displaying a first character on a screen; if the key is continuously clicked, the characters on the key are sequentially displayed on the screen;

the characters on the second and third rows of keys on the keyboard are all arranged vertically, and the input method is as follows: if the key is clicked once and then the space key is clicked once, the second character on the key is displayed on the screen; if the key is continuously clicked twice and the context is continuously input, the first character on the key is displayed on the screen;

the original down-grade symbol input method on the key is as follows: strike first

Once; clicking the key once again; when the following of the self-selected word is a space, the self-selected word should be clicked first

Once and then hitOnce; other punctuation marks which are not related are all input according to the original program of the microcomputer.

The invention has the beneficial effects that:

(1) and (4) rapidity. The invention is designed according to the use frequency of the Chinese words as much as possible, so that the input speed has great breakthrough. The method is fast because each time the initial consonant and vowel codes are input, a self-selected word is always displayed at the head of the prompt line, and each self-selected word only needs to click two keys, and the number of keystrokes is the same as that of a first-level simple code word in other input methods. The number of the self-selected words is 968 in the scheme, and the number of the self-selected words is one thousand by adding 32 high-frequency words which can be input by a special method. The one thousand common words account for about 70% of the contents of the existing pronouncing, in other words, if one thousand words of the modern text is input, 700 words are completed by one-level brevity codes (only in terms of the number of keystrokes). In addition, the scheme also has 968 null words (equivalent to secondary simplified words of other schemes), which account for 15% of the content of the modern text. Therefore, although a column of words to be selected is displayed before the input of the initial consonant and vowel codes each time, the words actually required to be selected in the numeric keys only account for 15% of the input content. If the key in the first row is pressed 1.5 times per stroke (because the key in the first row is far from the finger), the evaluation is made on the criterion that the key is pressed 0.5 times per stroke of the same key, and the key is pressed 1 time per stroke in other cases. The statistical method for inputting the ' service for people ' from Mazedong ' by using the four-vowel and two-initial-consonant Chinese character input method has the advantages that the average key stroke frequency of each character is only 1.3 times, and the speed is obviously improved compared with other input methods at present.

(2) Easy to learn. The invention is easy to learn, and mainly shows three aspects:

first, the scheme does not need to split Chinese characters, and the problem of memorizing etymons does not exist.

Secondly, the scheme is based on Chinese pinyin, which is a necessary course for primary school and is easy to accept by people.

Thirdly, the rules of the scheme are simple, the common words are coded with two bits in total, the first bit is the initial consonant code of the first word, the second bit is the final vowel code of the last word, the basic rules are remembered as if the key of the scheme is grasped, and other rules mostly serve for realizing the basic rules.

(3) The adaptability is good. The adaptability of the scheme comprises two aspects of adaptability to individuals and adaptability to the society.

The personal adaptability of the scheme means that the scheme can be suitable for people with mandarin at various levels, for example, some people have unclear distinction of some initial consonants, for example, zh, ch and sh are read as z, c and s, so that corresponding Chinese characters cannot be typed in other pinyin input schemes, but the scheme has no influence because the Chinese characters are respectively defined on the same row of keys, and the Chinese characters can be typed by reading z as zh or reading zh as z. Still some people are unclear in some vowels, for example, the 'inclination (qing) direction' is read into 'qiong direction', however, the input is not influenced by the mistake, because the scheme defines the vowels of the rhymes which are mutually rhymes on the same row of keys, the user does not need to remember the vowels, and the user can input the vowels smoothly without hindrance as long as reading the vowel foot (knowing the rhymes).

The social adaptability of the scheme means that the learning method is beneficial to strengthening and improving the Chinese pinyin, and the learning of the pinyin lays a foundation for the learning method, and the learning method have a mutual promotion and complement relationship.

Drawings

For the convenience of describing the method of the present invention, a schematic diagram of the interface between the input method of the present invention and a computer keyboard is given below.

Detailed Description

One, ordinary input method

The following describes the input method designed for common words in the present invention in detail, taking three words "corn", "anecdotal" and "yizhishi" as examples, in conjunction with a keyboard diagram.

1. Microcomputer for coding and inputting' corn

First, the code is determined:

since the initial of the word "jade" is y, defined on the fourth column of keys, its vocode is either R or F; the first stroke of the word is horizontal, and the sound code is only R according to the sound code rule.

Because the final of the last word of the word, namely the'm', is i and is defined on the first column of keys, the final code of the word is either 1, Q, A or Z; because the word is not a four-character word or a word above the four-character word and the last stroke is a right fall, the final sound code can only be A according to the rule of the final sound code.

Thus "maize" is encoded as R A.

The following procedure is to input "corn" into a microcomputer (assuming that the microcomputer has software running according to the method of the present invention) as follows:

(1) and clicking the R key to input the voice code.

(2) And clicking the A key to input the final sound code. At this time, the prompt line displays:

together areIs advantageous for1 powerful, 2 breath, 3 pressure, 4 profit and 5 leeway

6 harsh 7 corn 8 raincoat 9 in place 0 hundred million

In the above display column, the first item "together" is not numbered, indicating that no selection is required, and the first item will be automatically displayed (except when the following item is a blank space) as soon as the following item is input. The scheme calls the words which are automatically displayed on the screen as soon as the text is input without selection as the self-selection words, and calls the following words with sequence numbers as the words to be selected. The number before the second term "advantageous" isThe space key is expressed, namely the screen is favorable when the initial consonant and vowel codes are input and the space key is supplemented, and the words are called the selected word in the scheme and belong to the range of the words to be selected. Because the corn which we want to lose is not the self-chosen word and the null word, so

(3) Click selection code 7, "corn" screen up.

2. Microcomputer for encoding and inputting anecdotal

First, the code is determined:

since "anecdotal" is a single word, it can be considered by itself as the first word of the word or as the last word of the word.

Since the initial of the word is y, defined on the fourth column of keys, and the first stroke of the word is horizontal, the vocode can only be R.

Because the final of the word is i, defined on the first row of keys, and the last stroke is right, the final code can only be A according to the rule.

Thus, the "rank" code is R A, which is the same as the "maize" code.

The following "rank" is input into the microcomputer, and the process is as follows:

(1) and clicking the R key to input a sound code.

(2) And clicking the A key to input a vowel code. At this time, the hint line is displayed as follows:

together are

Has the advantages of 1 force, 2 breath, 3 pressure and 4 profit, 5 leeway

6 harsh 7 corn 8 raincoat 9 in place 0 hundred million

Because the prompt row does not display the 'rank' to be lost, the page needs to be turned for searching. Because the 'anecdotal' which we want to input is a single word, so

(3) Striking with a hammer

And (3) turning pages of the keys, and prompting line display:

in accordance with Art 1 Yi 2 chair 3 Bit 4 Yuan 5 Yuan 6 No 7

Yiyi 8 Yi 9 pancreas 0 aliasing

(4) Clicking the selection key 6, "anecdotal" to go up the screen.

If just not hitTurn over the page and hit

And (5) turning pages, prompting line display:

organic compounds

2 Yunli 3 Yunyi 1 higher grade of transporting Qi and 4 Yunyi 3 Yunyi 4 Yunyi 247225 Yunyi 6 Yunyi 7 8 masking 9 Yingqi

If not hit

Turn over the page and hitAnd (5) turning pages, prompting line display: saline-alkali soil

Medicinal gas 1 cotton gin, 2 conveyer and 3 track mangles

3. The code and input microcomputer for 'Yizhimessenger' firstly determines the code:

since the initial letter "Yi" of the word is defined on the fourth column of keys, and since the first stroke of the word is horizontal, the vocode can only be R.

Because the final of the word is "make" and the final is-i, it is defined on the seventh row of keys, and the word is a four-word, and its final can only be 7 according to the final rule.

Therefore, the code of "Yizhiqi" is R7.

The 'Yizhimessenger' is input into the microcomputer in the following process:

(1) and clicking the R key to input the voice code.

(2) And 7, inputting a vowel code by clicking. And (4) displaying a prompt line:

two systems in one countryAn unknown 1 is rational to 2 to have a long-standing 3 and go 4 to 4 words 5 is famous 6 and is known 7 and 8 targets 9 are concerned 0 while the hint is not shown the Yizhiqi messenger we want to input, so

(3) Striking with a hammerAnd (5) turning pages. And (4) displaying a prompt line:

non-retrievable1 part of a laughing object without taking 2 parts of a stubborn part, 3 parts of a relaxation object

4 Yizhi Qi to make 5M ü e Mo Wei 6 Yan get tiger

(4) Clicking the selection key 4, the "Yizhiqi" to make the screen on.

Two, special character input method

In order to raise input speed, said invention defines some high-frequency characters on the specific key positions, and defines a special input method for them. The details are as follows:

1. the corresponding relation between the high-frequency words or punctuation marks and the key positions occupied by the high-frequency words or punctuation marks is as follows:

key name: QWERT Y U IO P

High-frequency words: it also appears to be that when walking;

get home and go for a long time

Chinese character' Tao

Key name: aSD F G H J K L

High-frequency words: there are two you on this place, he and just

Great daily use of her best-effort mountain essence

Key name: z X C V B N M

High-frequency words: we want a person to know whether they do not know anything but here. But,

2. The input method of the high-frequency character comprises the following steps:

the characters on the fourth row of keys on the keyboard are all arranged horizontally, and the input method takes the characters on the X key as an example and is described as follows: if the X key is clicked once, "one" is displayed on the screen immediately; if the X key is clicked once again, the screen is displayed again. If the X key is still clicked for the third time, the 'person' is displayed on the screen again; if the impact continues, the reciprocating cycle is performed. The method of inputting the characters on the other keys in the row can be analogized.

The characters on the second and third rows of keys on the keyboard are all arranged vertically, and the "them" on the T key is taken as an example and explained as follows: if the T key is clicked once and then the space key is clicked once, the screen is displayed. If the T key is continuously clicked twice and the context is input again, the 'it' is displayed on the screen. Because the 'it' is displayed as a self-selecting word at the head of the prompt line, the user can only input the text when the user wants to input the text; and because the code-fetching rule of the common word is not complied with by the 'it', the 'it' cannot be input by the common input method. The input method of other characters on the second and third rows of keys on the keyboard can be analogized.

Inputting punctuation marks and spaces:

the input method of the original file downloading symbol on the key comprises the following steps: strike firstOnce a key is pressed; and hit the key once more. All the file-loading symbols are inputted according to the original program of the microcomputer. The input method of the blank is as follows: the space key is clicked once. However, if the initial and final codes of a word are already input, the word to be input is a self-selected word, and the following of the self-selected word is a blank space, the blank space in the input situation should be firstly hitOnce by key and once by clicking the space key.
