Description

Be applicable to the character input method and the system of input methods
The present invention relates to a kind of word processor, particularly a kind of character input method and system that is suitable for input methods.
Along with science and technology development, more and more Duo character input method is devised, and for example the input for Chinese text promptly has five-stroke input method, Cangjie's input method, simple input method, spelling input method, phonetic input method etc. too numerous to enumerate.In addition, because the user for the restriction of the limited or various input methods of the familiarity of specific input method itself, therefore often needs to adopt at least two kinds of input methods for the input with a kind of literal, so that auxiliary mutually; For example, the input dual-purpose Cangjie for Chinese text imports and phonetic input method; Moreover along with the prosperity of traffic and industry and commerce, various countries' contact more and more needs the different literal that mixes closely in the daily word processing, and English, Japanese etc. for example mix in the Chinese.By as can be known aforementioned, for a word processor (for example PC, electronic notebook or other e-file disposal system), multiple different input method (comprising the different input methods of same literal and the input method of different literals) is provided but reaches the single input media of mat and do the basic demand that the input of input methods almost is necessity.
In the face of diversified input requirement like this, no matter existing word processor adopts the keyboard (keyboard of general keyboard, tactile keyboard, press-type keyboard or other pattern) of which kind of pattern or the keyboard of which kind of special key configuration, all change different input methods by the input of specific " switch key " or other switching command.This kind method not only can be interrupted input when switching, cause operation to go up inconvenience greatly, and when need are adopted at least three kinds of input methods, often must switch in proper order, and is consuming time bothersome; Because this kind adopts the mode of " switch key " must switch to correct input pattern, could correctly import again, therefore when adopting input methods to import, tend to increase greatly wrong probability, and the puzzlement that increases check and correction and revise.
Because single input media is made the common requirements that input methods is imported, and existing system employing " switch key " above-mentioned shortcoming that mode had, everybody is seeking effective solution.But the present solution that proposes all has sizable limitation and defective, can't deal with problems fully and effectively.In the prior art, the scheme that the NI-077643 patent is proposed is invented in Taiwan, be to be arranged in 21 initial consonants in the Chinese phonetic symbol, 16 simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and 20 groups of composite vowels on 26 English keyboards and to utilize on the keyboard 4 seldom used keys as the tone key of Chinese and the end key of double as input in Chinese by special keyboard configuration, and utilize blank key to make the end key of English input, exempt from " switch key " to reach Chinese and English mixing input.The greatest drawback of this solution is that its input in Chinese must only can utilize its special keyboard configuration, otherwise the China and British that promptly can't exempt to switch is mixed input; For the user of the user of general keyboard or habitual other Chinese character coding input method, therefore procuring equipment and relearn its specific input method again brings inconvenience.Secondly, this solution, only can solve exempting to switch and using with of two kinds of specific input methods such as the Chinese character coding input method of keyboard configuration and English input method, switch input for exempting between any input methods, between for example different Chinese character coding input methods, between different Chinese character coding input method and English or other civilian kind of input method or any more than three kinds between the input method, then can't provide fully and exempt from handoff functionality.
The Chinese and English wisdom input that technology was provided for " input method beside oneself " before another was existing, however the method also is limited to specific input method first, uses with and can't provide exempting between any input methods to switch; Moreover this method must be used the end key of blank key (space key) as English input, and use displacement to be good for the input of (shife key) first English alphabet of auxiliary judgement, and the use of this blank key and shift key and the mode that adopts " switch key " traditionally inconvenience equally, and can't essence solve aforementioned because of switching caused consuming time bothersome, increasing problems such as mistake.
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of and mixes character input method and the system that uses according to input methods with exempting to switch.
For achieving the above object, the present invention takes following proposal:
The present invention judges employed input method automatically by the legal input combination between the legal input combination of various input methods self and the various input method.The input method of various literal can be divided into the input method (for example English input method) of alphabetic writing and the input method of non-alphabetic writing (for example various input methods of Chinese text), phonetic writing input method have the rule of combination between himself letter, literal, numeral, symbol, interval or the special keys can be used as and other input method between the differentiation basis; But not the rule of combination of phonetic writing input method between himself literal, numeral, symbol, interval or special keys, the intrinsic input code rule of combination of various non-alphabetic writing input methods is still arranged, can be used as the basis of differentiation with the different input methods of a kind of non-alphabetic writing (for example Chinese text).The present invention is the intrinsic input code rule of combination that utilizes various non-alphabetic writing input methods, and utilize the legal rule of combination of letter, literal, symbol, interval or special keys between various input methods itself and the various input methods and differentiate employed input method effectively, thereby can reach and exempt to carry out the input methods mixing with switching and import.
Concrete scheme of the present invention is as follows:
A kind of character input method that is suitable for input methods of the present invention is characterized in that, may further comprise the steps:
A. set the priority of employed input methods;
B. accept from the key assignments of input media input;
C. store input code with respect to the input methods of this key assignments in a snubber assembly;
D. judge whether the input code combination in the snubber assembly is the legal input combination of input method under it, with selected one input method of judging, this judgement be proceed to the input code that determines a certain input method and be combined as its legal combination according to the priority that input methods sets till, if an error messages is then exported in the legal input combination of all non-its the affiliated input method of all input code combinations in the snubber assembly;
Whether the input code combination of e. examining and determine the input method that determines meets an input rule; If meet, be the input method of examining and determine out then with this input method that determines; If do not meet, then set the input method of examining and determine out according to this input rule;
F. set the priority of the input method of being examined and determine out at first, lay equal stress on and cover step b to step e, wherein if during the input method that this input method of examining and determine out is no longer examined and determine out for step e, then reply the setting that its priority is step a, and wherein when if existing input code is combined as the exportable input code combination of existing input method of examining and determine out, output is represented to an output unit accordingly with should exportable input code making up.
A kind of character input system that is applicable to input methods of the present invention comprises:
One input media, it comprises that one can receive the keyboard unit according to the input of input methods, and a converting unit, converting unit is in order to be converted to predetermined key assignments with the input signal that keyboard unit received;
One indexing unit, it receives the key assignments of input media, and the input code with respect to the input methods of key assignments is provided;

The accompanying drawing simple declaration
Fig. 1 is the process flow diagram of first embodiment of the inventive method;
Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram of the 9th embodiment of the inventive method;
Fig. 3 is the circuit block diagram of the embodiment of system of the present invention.
It is as follows to feature description of the present invention to reach preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
As shown in Figure 1, it is the process flow diagram of first embodiment of the inventive method, method of the present invention may further comprise the steps: step 101 is for setting the priority of employed various input methods, because input methods is mixed the exhausted most main input method that all adopts to some extent of the situation of input, and the use probability of all the other input methods also has difference, therefore, make main input method or use the high input method of probability to be differentiated earlier, can significantly reduce the required computing of distinguish of system like this.Step 102 is for accepting from the key assignments of input media input.Step 103 is for storing input code with respect to the employed input methods of this key assignments in a snubber assembly; This snubber assembly can be a memory storage.
Step 104 is for judging whether the input code combination (this combination also may be single input code) in this snubber assembly is the legal input combination (not complete as yet input combination also can be legal input combination) of its affiliated input method, judgement herein be proceed to the input code that determines a certain input method and be combined as its legal combination according to the priority that step 101 sets till, if all the input code combinations in this snubber assembly all are not the legal input combinations of input method under it, then export an error messages.Because the input method (for example various input methods of Chinese text) of all non-alphabetic writings all has (for example legal input code combination of the standard phonetic input method of Chinese text of its intrinsic input code rule of combination, be to add complete combination and the not complete as yet combination that the input code of a specific circumflex of expression combines) by 1 to 3 input code of representing specific sound symbol, the input code combination of the input method of all alphabetic writings (for example English input method) then can all be considered as legal combination, so the judgement of step 104 can utilize this existing rule to finish.
In addition, only determining a certain input code according to priority in the step 104 is combined as its legal combination and promptly finishes, and the input code of no longer judging all the other input methods makes up, and so not only can reduce the judgement computing, more can avoid occurring the legal input code combined situation of the equal tool of two or more input methods.
Whether step 105 meets an input rule for the input code combination of the input method that calibrating is determined; If meet, be the input method of examining and determine out then with this input method that determines; If do not meet, then set the input method of examining and determine out according to this input rule.Wherein input rule comprises the legal combination of letter, literal, numeral, symbol, interval or special keys between each single input method in the employed input methods and/or the input methods.Because the input method of various literal all has the legal array configuration of himself distinctive letter, literal, numeral, symbol, interval or special keys, and special legal array configuration is also arranged between the input method of different literals, so can put out an input rule in order with regard to employed input methods, for example adopt the phonetic input method of Chinese text to mix when importing with the English input method work, its input rule comprises:
1, in a single day input code is judged as English, and the input code after then living is all directly handled till input code is represented terminating symbol as English.
2, non-terminating symbol :/-_ '+* @ # $ Backspace
Except non-terminating symbol, all the other symbols comprise that directionkeys, empty upright key etc. are terminating symbol.
When 3, importing four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation symbol, if input code is taken as English the processing thereafter, then this four tones of standard Chinese pronunciation symbol must be used as English the processing.
When 4, importing " a, i ", if input code thereafter is taken as English the processing, then this input must be used as English processing.
Step 106 is to set the priority of the input method that step 105 examines and determine out at first, lay equal stress on and cover step 102 to step 105,, if step 105 is when to examine and determine out input method afterwards no longer be original input method, then the priority of the answer input method of originally examining and determine out is 101 orders that set.Because when input methods is mixed input, tend to use a certain input method to do a bit of continuous input, and the priority of the input method that the automatic setting of step 106 is using, the follow-up input of the input method of using is judged earlier, thereby required computing can significantly reduce system's judge the time.In addition, in step 106, when making up as if the exportable input code of having obtained existing calibrating input method, then this exportable input code of output makes up and represents to an output unit accordingly.For non-alphabetic writing input method (for example Cangjie's input method of Chinese text), its exportable input code combination generally includes several input codes, and the exportable input code combination of phonetic writing input method (for example English input method) then only contains an input code usually.In addition, this exportable input code combination institute expression accordingly can comprise that letter, literal, numeral, symbol, interval or vernier move and various combinations therebetween.
Method second embodiment of the present invention, its is in step 106 different with first embodiment, when if this input method of examining and determine out is a phonetic writing input method, then do not change the priority of the input method of examining and determine out, and with this input method of examining and determine out is the input method that determines and skips steps 104 is only heavily covered step 102, step 103 and step 105.
Because it is legal that the combination of the input code of phonetic writing input method all is considered as, so direct skips steps 104.When being phonetic writing input method for the input method of examining and determine out, second embodiment can save steps such as judging input code combination and setting priority, and can further reduce the computing of system.
The 3rd embodiment of method of the present invention is defined as the priority of setting employed input method with random fashion in the step 101 of first embodiment.Because step 106 program of priority that changes, and be difficult to distinguish in advance the priority of employed input method sometimes, so its convenience is also arranged with random fashion setting priority.
The 4th embodiment of the inventive method is a modify steps 106 on the basis of first embodiment, and when changing as if the input method of examining and determine out, the expression of having imported also can be done corresponding change according to this input rule.Because each input method all is stored in the snubber assembly for the input code of same key assignments, so if when being necessary to change the expression that has shown, this snubber assembly still can provide required input code to make up.
Whether the 5th embodiment of the inventive method is to provide a revision program that can be started by the user in this expression of output or afterwards in the step 106 of first embodiment, make the user to decide in its sole discretion and the expression of output is revised.
The 6th embodiment of the inventive method considers only to comprise a kind of situation of input method of non-alphabetic writing in the employed input methods, and whether the step 104 that changes first embodiment is its legal input combination for the input code combination of judging the input method of non-alphabetic writing in this snubber assembly; If then the input method with this non-alphabetic writing is the input method of judgement; If not, then with priority in all the other input methods at first the person be the input method that determines.So can significantly reduce the wrong probability of judgement in step 104, and then reduce the probability that to do a large amount of calibrating computings in the step 105.
The 7th embodiment of the inventive method considers that employed input methods is the situation of phonetic writing input method, owing to be the input method of alphabetic writing, so need not judge input code combination whether legal (it is legal all to be considered as), therefore also need not set the priority of judgement, also not have the necessity that changes priority.So, the 7th embodiment only comprises step 102 and the step 103 of first embodiment, and merge simplify step 105 and step 106 for according to the input code of input rule calibrating input methods making a preferential input method, and the input code of exporting this preferential input method is represented to an output unit accordingly.
The 8th embodiment of the inventive method considers that employed input method only comprises the situation of a phonetic writing input method and a non-alphabetic writing input method, for example adopts a Chinese text input method and an English input method.The 8th embodiment is the 6th extreme case of implementing in fact, thus the 8th embodiment except because of only there being a phonetic writing input method must not set the step of priority, all the other steps are all identical with the 6th embodiment.
The 9th embodiment of the inventive method is that the difference under the notion of the present invention is carried out pattern, its flow process as shown in Figure 2, step 201 is key assignments of accepting from input media input.Step 202 is to store input code with respect to the employed input methods of key assignments in a snubber assembly.Step 203 is to judge whether the input code combination in this snubber assembly is the legal input combination of input method under it, if be non-legal input combination, then exports an error messages; Different with other embodiment is that this step is not only to determine single input method, but determines the input method that all have the combination of legal input code, and the combination of the input code of phonetic writing input method similarly all be considered as legal.Step 204 is that foundation one input rule is to examine and determine out a preferential input method in the input code combination of the input method that determines.Step 205 is heavily to cover step 201 to step 204, and when if existing input code is combined as the exportable input code combination of existing preferential input method, output is represented to an output unit accordingly with the output code combination.The 9th embodiment is analogous to the technological means of second embodiment equally, when even the preferential input method of examining and determine out in step 204 is a phonetic writing input method, then with this preferential input method be unique input method that determines and in step 205 skips steps 203 only heavily cover step 201, step 202 and step 204.
Technological means among second to the 5th embodiment of the inventive method not only can be applicable to first embodiment, also can be applicable among the 6th to the 9th embodiment.
