7. the scope of application of the present invention
The present invention is applicable to computer numerical keyboard, and palm PC, mobile phone, ordinary telephone set, set-top box and other use the device of numeric keypad to utilize numeric keypad to carry out various letter inputs and Chinese character input.
For the convenience of call for Votes, the English alphabet input is discussed earlier below, the key entry and the Chinese character input of Chinese phonetic alphabet are discussed in the back again.
Advantage of the present invention: in the fixed shelves of the present invention English input method, owing to introduced gear shift function cleverly, make and become easy to operate with the numerical key inputting English letter, operating process is stable, each step state shows clear and definite, and make really to become with the numeric keypad inputting English letter and make things convenient for, by the general user is accepted.For skilled fixed shelves English input method user, inputting English letter fully can touch system on numeric keypad, and input speed also will improve greatly like this.Fixed shelves English input method has the desired creativeness of patent of invention, novelty and practicality.
By following Example, advantage of the present invention is elaborated.
Mobile phone, it is a kind of popular communication tool, therefore, the English input method that uses on mobile phone just should be a kind of convenience, stable English input method, not only require input operation easy, and require stable operation, state is clear, high input speed can satisfy the user and use mobile phone to surf the Net and the requirement of storing various information.
The present invention is that 94119060.9 " telephone keypad and English input method thereof " is contrast with " numeric keypad English input method " on " Nokia " mobile phone and number of patent application, the necessity of the problem of numeric keypad English input method and the fixed shelves of invention English input method before illustrating.One of list of references is the NOKIA3210 user manual of Nokia; Two of list of references is the application for a patent for invention prospectus of " telephone keypad and English input method thereof ".
On present People's Republic of China (PRC) mobile phone domestic and that overseas produce, on numeric keypad, arrange English alphabet that standard has all been arranged, the Fig. 1 in the Figure of description of the present invention has shown this standard of arranging English alphabet on numeric keypad.
Owing on 8 numerical keys, arranged 26 English alphabets, therefore, with numeric keypad can make things convenient for, inputting English letter stably, can state in the input process clear, the content of the present invention that Here it is and above-mentioned two kinds of input methods comparison.The English input method that is called for short in Nokia's mobile phone is " Nokia's English input method " below; Being called for short number of patent application and being 94119060.9 " telephone keypad and English input method thereof " is " phone English input method ".
Below, will decide grade English input method and Nokia's English input method, do a comprehensively comparison from several aspects such as stable, facility of operation, input speeds, on the input speed problem, bypass this factor of user's skill level and carry out objective analysis.
In Nokia's English input method, because arranged 3 to 4 English alphabets on a key, when keying in one when alphabetical, it is not all right in most cases directly hitting a numerical key, therefore adopted " keystroke method continuously ", promptly a letter will hit repeatedly this key continuously and can be transfused to.For example, on numerical key 9, WXYZ totally 4 English alphabets have been arranged, therefore, when wanting input alphabet X, must hit numerical key 9 continuously 2 times, when wanting input alphabet Y, must hit numerical key 9 continuously 3 times, want the input alphabet Z must 4 numerical keys 9 of double hit, and there be certain requirement in the time interval between per twice keystroke, can not be long, more do not allow to pause.
For example, import " zoo ", the keystroke situation in Nokia's English input method is: (Z) 9999 (o) 666 (o) 666, keystroke 10 times (seeing above-mentioned " user manual " the 13rd page) altogether.And, because Nokia's English input method is when hitting a certain key continuously and obtain desired character, continuity for keystroke has requirement, for example, 3 English alphabet: mno have been arranged on the numerical key 6, if inputting English letter o, should 3 numerical keys 6 of double hit, but, when a little pause is arranged, will obtain nm between the 1st, 2 keystroke and the 3rd keystroke, and when a little pause is arranged between the 1st keystroke and the 2nd, 3 keystroke, will obtain mn, and if all long 3 keystroke midfeathers, the meeting that obtains on the presenting bank is mmm.Like this, just make the unstable result that the user operates, can import unwanted content, thereby bring very big inconvenience.
In fixed shelves English input method, the situation of keystroke is such when the above-mentioned English-word of input " zoo ": (z) 019 (o) 16 (o) 16, when inputting English letter z, hit numerical key 0 earlier one time, character " 2 " will appear on the presenting bank, hit numerical key 1 again one time, character on the presenting bank " 2 " disappears, character " 4 " appears, explanation will be imported the 4th letter of arranging on certain numerical key, hit numerical key 9 again, character on the presenting bank " 4 " disappears, and has imported the 4th the small letter English alphabet z that is arranged on the numerical key 9 in input frame.Equally, hit numerical key 1 earlier one time, character " 3 " will appear on the presenting bank, explanation will be imported the 3rd letter of arranging on certain numerical key, hits numerical key 6 again, and character on the presenting bank " 3 " disappears, imported the 3rd the small letter English alphabet o that is arranged on the numerical key 6 in the input frame, used with quadrat method and import the 3rd English alphabet o.
In the operational instances of above-mentioned fixed shelves English input method, because the requirement that cannot pause when the user do not had keystroke, user's operation is stable, and when hitting shift, current is to be in what state all to conclusively show out in presenting bank.
When input " zoo ", during with fixed grade of English input method, keystroke is 7 times altogether, and 10 keystrokes during than Nokia English input method input " zoo " have been economized 1/3rd keystroke number nearly.
Below, analyze the average keystroke number of two kinds of English input methods statically, in Nokia's English input method, hit the letter that primary key just can import and have 8, hit the letter that twice key can import and have 8, hit the letter that three keys could import and have 8, hitting the letter that four keys just can import has 2, and average keystroke number is 2.15 times (2.15=(1*8+2*8+3*8+4*2)/26).And in the fixed shelves English input method, hit the letter that primary key just can import and have 8, hit the letter that twice key can import and have 16, hit the letter that three keys could import and have only 2, average keystroke number is 1.76 times (1.76=(1*8+2*16+3*2)/26), and the former is 1.22 times of the latter, with the average stroke of static state relatively, Nokia's English input method Duos 1/5th than fixed shelves English input method, and this is a very considerable numeral under a large amount of keystroke situations.
In addition, when using fixed shelves English input method, when hitting each numerical key, state is very stable, to the time interval in any twice keystroke without any requirement, can not grasp the improper input error that causes because of the time interval between twice keystroke.Because input state is stable, can realize touch system fully with fixed shelves English input method inputting English letter on numeric keypad.
To decide grade English input method and " phone English input method " below compares.
In the 2nd page, write clearly in the patent of invention prospectus of phone English input method that " in view of the above, the present invention adopts the method input English regulation letter A by 1 key or 2 keys to represent that with 2* promptly button 2 has just been imported alphabetical A by * again.Letter b represents that with 2 button 2 has once just been imported letter b, and letter C represents that with 2# promptly button 2 has just been imported letter C by # again.…”。In " alphabetical A stipulated in input English " these several literal in the above-mentioned literal of quoting in " the present invention adopts the method input English regulation letter A by 1 key or 2 keys to represent with 2* ", as if " input English " back lack content, may be the clerical mistake of inventor when transcribing, but the implication that whole literal will be expressed is understandable.
According to the regulation in the phone English input method, during input " zoo ", what occur in input frame is that " 0#6#6# " (inventor annotates: the arrangement of phone English input method Chinese and English letter is with the arrangement of the numeric keypad of standard Chinese and English letter is different in the world at present: only arrange 3 English alphabets on each key of numerical key 2-9, alphabetical Q in the numerical key 7 is extracted out, be arranged to the 1st letter on the numerical key 0, zed in the numerical key 9 is also extracted out, be arranged to the 2nd letter on the numerical key 0, take 9 numerical keys altogether).
One of difference that fixed shelves English input method and phone English input method are the most essential is, when in the phone English input method, importing " zoo ", what occur in input frame is " 0#6#6# " a string like this character, for general telephone subscriber, is very not directly perceived and very unpractical.And fixed shelves English input method is when input " zoo ", and the numerical key that is hit is 0190606 successively, but input and what show is English alphabet, " zoo " in the input frame.Such input and demonstration are very directly perceived and clearly, therefore, concerning the user, are more acceptable.
On the surface, phone English input method and fixed shelves English input method have all adopted the stepping key, still, because both original design philosophy differences have caused the very big difference on operation and the effect.What the phone English input method used is " elder generation's letter back stepping ", and the employing of fixed shelves English input method is the way of " fixed earlier shelves back is alphabetical ".
At first, what bypass that the phone English input method shows is that the content of " 0#6#6# " and so on is not talked, and supposes that last what show also is English alphabet to the input of phone English input method keystroke, and more once both have the difference of what essence to let us again.
Suppose and to use phone English input method inputting English letter " o ", according to its regulation, at first should hit numerical key 6 and symbolic key # continuously, should show English alphabet " n " and directly hit numerical key 6, hit symbolic key # again, the English alphabet " n " that shows then should make English alphabet " o " into, like this, after hitting numerical key 6, content displayed has become a uncertain state, owing to show in the patent document of phone English input method, that show behind the keystroke is " 0#6#6# ", do not recognize this problem, still, in case what show is intuitively during English alphabet, this problem is just outstanding, owing to do not consider how this problem solves in the patent document of phone English input method, so the present invention is comment further.
And in fixed shelves English input method, what adopt is the way of " fixed earlier shelves back letter ", promptly hit shift earlier, hit the way of numerical key again, therefore, in each step in the operation, state is fairly obvious, for example, want inputting English letter " o " equally, in fixed shelves English input method, hit numerical key 1 earlier, then on presenting bank, shown a status indication " 3 ", this explanation, current has been in the operation of input third gear character, and then hits numerical key 6, just imported " o ", promptly imported the 3rd English alphabet that is arranged on the numerical key 6.In such operating process, the user is open-and-shut for laying oneself open under which type of state, the status information that shows during input also is clear and definite, the result who obtains after the input also is clearly, is presented to have only a letter " o " on the presenting bank, can not produce uncertain variation.
The arrangement of phone English input method Chinese and English letter on the key position is with the arrangement method of standard is not the same in the world at present.And, for the stepping key is set, 11 keys have been taken altogether, and the static state average stroke is 1.65 times (1.65=(1*9+2*17)/26), approaching with several 1.76 ten minutes of the static state average keystroke of fixed shelves English input method, the latter only is the former 1.07 times, in fixed shelves English input method, inputting English letter, space and punctuation mark are only used 10 numerical keys, and come inputting English letter with the phone English input method, when space and punctuation mark, except 10 numerical keys, only two non-numeric keys on the plain old telephone keyboard have also been used, used up all major keies on the telephone set, like this, will cause the inconvenience of other operations or increase stroke.
Can know that from above-mentioned comparison the fixed shelves fixed shelves keystroke way that English input method adopted because the advanced person of design philosophy compares with the phone English input method, has advantage in many aspects.

Embodiment
Introduce below with fixed shelves Chinese phonetic alphabet input method of Chinese character of the present invention, the example of input Chinese character.
For example import " China " two Chinese characters, " in " Chinese phonetic alphabet of word is " zh ō ng ", the Chinese phonetic alphabet of " state " word is " gu ó ", does not consider the tone of the Chinese phonetic alphabet during the Chinese is pieced together, so input " in ", " state " two words obtain with keying in the Chinese phonetic alphabet " zhong " and " guo ".
Input " in " the concrete keystroke operation of word is:
Hit numerical key 0,1,9 continuously, can pause arbitrarily in the middle of per twice keystroke, on presenting bank, just keyed in Chinese phonetic alphabet z; Hit numerical key 0,4 more continuously, h has just been keyed in the z back on presenting bank; Hit 1,6 continuously and key in o; Hit 0,6 continuously and key in n; Directly hit 4, key in g, after having keyed in zhong on the presenting bank, just occurred in the repeated code frame:
2 kind 3 heavy 4 many 5 clocks 67 cup of 8 loyal 9 inner feelings 0 swollen (7) eventually in 1
At this moment hit and once approve key ". ", hit numerical key 1 again one time, just show in the input frame " in " word, finished " in " input of word.In the Chinese that does not adopt association function is pieced together, in the time of importing " state " word, will continue to realize: directly hit numerical key 4, on presenting bank, keyed in g with the input Pinyin letter; Hit 0,8 continuously, key in u; Hit 1,6 continuously and key in o, just occur in the repeated code frame:
1 state 2 crosses 4 pot of 5 Guo 6 of 3 fruits and wraps up in 7 Guo, 8 crucibles 9,0 Guo (9) that slaps
At this moment hit and once approve key ". ", hit numerical key 1 again one time, just show " state " word in the input frame, finished the input of " state " word.
If input " heel " word after having keyed in " zhong " on the presenting bank, has just occurred in the repeated code frame:
2 kind 3 heavy 4 many 5 clocks 67 cup of 8 loyal 9 inner feelings 0 swollen (7) eventually in 1
Wherein do not have " heel " word, still, numeral 7 of the last demonstration of repeated code frame illustrates 7 words in addition, at this moment hits a page turning key "+" again, has just occurred in the repeated code frame:
3 bells, 4 Zhong, 5 midships, 6 heels, 7 alarmed and panicky (0), 1 secondary 2 tombs
At this moment hit and once approve key ". ", hit numerical key 6 again one time, just show " heel " word in the input frame, finished the input of " heel " word.
In the Chinese that adopts association function is pieced together, when importing " China " two words, earlier with the way input of keying in Chinese phonetic alphabet string zhong " in " behind the word, " Chinese is pieced together: " on the presenting bank becomes " association: ", can occur a collection of word automatically in the repeated code frame, and " state " word is wherein just arranged, at this moment hit and once approve key ". ", hit once the sequence number of " state " word again, just show " state " word in the input frame, finished the input of " state " word.
The Chinese phonetic alphabet input method of above operation and employing on numeric keypad " keystroke continuously " method relatively, it is few to have stroke equally, stable operation, each step state is advantage clearly, the appendix of the user manual of the mobile phone of contrast document visible Ericsson (User ' s Guide): " how using Chinese mobile phone input method " P12, model is T18sc.In this user manual appendix, show, with the input of its Chinese phonetic alphabet input method " in " during word, the stroke of only keying in " zhong " is:
Hit 9999 (z) continuously
Hit 44 (h) continuously
Hit 666 (o) continuously
Hit 66 (n) continuously
Hit 4 (g)
Not only the keystroke number than " Chinese assembly " of the present invention input method is many, and main is owing to require continuous keystroke, and can not pause in the centre, cause state labile, and state is also indeterminate during each keystroke.
