Embodiment
The present invention is further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is a kind of theory diagram of cell phone system.System is made up of keyboard (1), display (2), central processor CPU (3), buffer (4), internal memory RAM (5) and critical data recording equipment (6), and keyboard (1), display (2), buffer (4), internal memory RAM (5) and recording equipment (6) are connected to the corresponding port of central processor CPU (3).
Typical cell phone keyboard (1) is by function key: power switch key, assignment key, Menu key, way of search key and 12 character keys, 12 character keys comprise the digital alphabet key (0 ~ 9, a ~ z) and *, # key.
Display (2) may be certain LCD LCD, can show numeral and character.Buffer (4) is an interim access arrangement, Yi Bian accept the data of 12 key inputs, simultaneously with CPU (3) communication, finishes the processing to the input serial data.Buffer (4) can be the part of internal memory RAM (5), also can physically separate with internal memory RAM (5).
The internal memory that recording equipment (6) can write down and wipe can be as recording equipment (6) as electrically-erasable read-only memory EEPROM and flash memories Flash Memory.It is writing down name that user or supplier deposit in and number etc.Fig. 2 has shown the data format that is recorded in the recording equipment (6), and name and number itself all is data, and in addition, the serial data of contents such as expression relation or company also may write down wherein.Recording equipment is not limited only to embed mobile phone type, also may be equipment or the knock-down equipment that separates with mobile phone.Especially for GSM mobile handset, SIM card (user's identification module card) is widely used as recording equipment.
Central processor CPU (3) part comprises microprocessor and data processing software.It by with the data of display (2), buffer (4), internal memory RAM (5), recording equipment (6) and keyboard (1) input between communicate by letter and finish data processing the system of searching.
Below introducing central processor CPU (3) in detail is how to finish name and number searching by the relevant information of process user input.
As shown in Figure 2, all names and number deposit recording equipment (6) in by certain format.Usually need enter search pattern, choose the character menu then and search.This method is carried out under holding state, key in the relevant character string of waiting to look into name or number by cell phone keyboard, character string exists in the buffer (4) according to its order that is transfused to temporarily, CPU (3) generates all possible character combination according to the character string that has buffer (4), name or number with each character combination and recording equipment storage carries out matching treatment then, select candidate's name or number, send display to show.
The relevant character of user's input is with generating various character combinations, CPU delivers to display (2) to all candidate's names of meet the requirements (user knows), display may demonstrate maybe may can not show all candidate's name or numbers, this need can show that the quantity of line number and candidate's name determines according to display, can show line number if candidate's name exceeds maximum, the number of then all short-lists all will appear at display (2) lining so that whether user's decision continues to import more character or find required target by rolling mouse (rolling).The character of input is many more, and candidate's name will be few more.Therefore the user always can and increase candidate's name that digital keys obtains according to the candidate's name that shows successively and determines whether keying in more numeral.
Suppose that the user wants to search " SAM " that exists in the mobile phone, under holding state, press " 7 ", " 2 ", " 6 " key, because " s " on " 7 " number key, " a " on " 2 " number key, " m " is on " 6 " number key.Fig. 3 has demonstrated this operating process.
In case the first " 7 " are pressed, exist the name that starts with p, q, r, s in the internal memory just to be chosen as candidate's name (a) as Fig. 3.Usually, the short-list that a number word select goes out may be a lot, can't once show.Because display can only show seldom a part of candidate's name at most, and whether the name that this part demonstrates can help the user to determine to continue to key in or roll in list and search required target.Usually, when short-list was bigger, the user continued to choose " a " by next number word " 2 ".Along with two numerals " 7 " and " 2 " are pressed, CPU (3) generates all possible character combination: pa, pb, pc from serial data; Qa, qb, qc; Ra, rb, rc; Sa, sb, sc (present case is searching at english name only).Add the short-list selected in the back (when " 7 " when being pressed), CPU finish each character matching treatment (pa ... sc).Do not meet candidate's name of combination by rejecting, the quantity of candidate's name has reduced (as Fig. 3 b).
If it is still a lot of to key in the name number of words selected behind two characters, the user presses " 6 " and chooses " m ", at this moment CPU generate all possible character combination: pam, pan, pao, ..., rbm, rbn, ..., scm, scn, sco.In this step, if there is no the short-list of some character combination is as " sb " combination, and " sbm ", " sbn ", " sbo " just make up not regeneration so.CPU is again the matching treatment of carrying out of candidate's name of last time selecting and these character combinations, and undesirable combination is disallowable, and the short-list of remaining unique coupling is just selected and show (as Fig. 3 c).
Generally speaking, the quantity of keying in short-list behind 4 characters may be just very little, can all show in " screen ", whether can reach this result certainly and also will see the quantity of name and the character types of being keyed in.This moment, the user can determine stop to search or continue according to the situation of the candidate's name seen and quantity thereof to search.Present and traditional mode of searching can not provide such option because the user and do not know under the situation for the minimum number that finds the character that target need import, have only when " enter key " just press or input command after actual searching handle and begin.Yet the system of searching that the present invention describes, the character of keying in according to the user carries out matching treatment, thereby has saved the time.The user may only need just can find target by one or two character.
The present invention is not restricted to the searching of english name, and comprises the character combination of different language letter by increase, and it goes for all language, as long as these language characters meet the specified standard input method of communication standard that numerical key can generate.
Compare with other Languages, it is more complicated that Chinese character is handled.Some input in Chinese system has realized create message breath in mobile phone, but needs by the key more much more than English input system.People can use the input in Chinese system needs are sent short messages breath with mobile phone when, but have to 12 keys by importing Chinese character many times.As writing short message with the input in Chinese system, in mobile phone, search Chinese name and need carry out same step, therefore, even may expend the plenty of time, most of people still select to search Chinese name with scroll key rather than by the input Chinese character.
Next, will introduce adopt the lookup method of the mobile phone of two kinds of famous input in Chinese systems, because the present invention has utilized the retrieving information in their database in mobile phone.
Fig. 4 searches the schematic diagram of Chinese name for adopting Chinese phonetic alphabet mode.It is based on a cell phone keyboard with 26 English alphabet keys, and under the defeated people's state of Chinese character, the initial consonant of the Chinese phonetic alphabet or final key are corresponding English alphabet keys.By keying in Chinese phonetic alphabet character, the user can search definite Chinese character.Because too many Chinese character is arranged, so a lot of Chinese character pronunciation is identical, so the user can choose one from the identical Chinese character that pronounces.For example, Chinese name " Li Chengzai " can be expressed as " lichen zai " with the Chinese phonetic alphabet.
In spelling mode, key in " li " and can find that hundreds of Chinese characters send out the sound of " li ", wait candidate's name to occur after, can find Chinese character " Lee " by moving cursor or scroll key; Similarly, Chinese character " holds " sound of sending out " chen ", under spelling mode, keys in " chen ", can choose Chinese character in numerous short-lists then and " hold ".
Most of Chinese name is made up of three Chinese characters, and a part is made up of two Chinese characters, and name seldom has four Chinese characters.At first introduce searching of triliteral Chinese character name below, it is how to be included in the main algorithm that the name of explaining two words and four words is after a while searched.
For name " Li Chengzai " (li chen zai), the phonetic prefix of each Chinese character is: " l ", " c ", " z ".Input step of the present invention is: knock corresponding key and import first initial consonant of each Chinese character or the character string that simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable is formed.In the current illustration, by " 5 " key choosing " l ", " 2 " key choosing " c ", " 9 " key choosing " z " represents to search name " li chen zai ".In case character string " lcz " is keyed in, just as the above-mentioned english name of searching, CPU generates all possible phonetic alphabet and makes up, i.e. ' jam ', ' jan ', ' jao ' ... ' lcy ', ' lcz ', after all combinations were found, CPU just carried out having stored with all the matching treatment of name.The alphabetic string " lcz " that oneself is arranged as " Li Chengzai "; The alphabetic string of " Xiang Zhonglin " is " xzl ", because its Chinese phonetic alphabet is " xiang zhong lin ".
Phonetic is the most widely used Chinese character coding input method, but some people may have little understanding to English alphabet, so stroke input method also usually is used for searching of Chinese name.The stroke input system is different from pinyin input system.Chinese character is made of many strokes, and the order of strokes of Chinese character fixes, and each Chinese character all has the order of strokes of oneself.In the stroke input pattern of mobile phone, the user searches Chinese character by stroke symbol and moving cursor that key entry is defined on the mobile phone particular key.
Fig. 5 searches the schematic diagram of Chinese name for adopting the Chinese character stroke mode.In the mobile phone of Fig. 5 Chinese version, the Chinese character stroke symbol is defined within on the specific button.The inventive method only makes up with the first stroke of Chinese character name and searches.When searching Chinese name, the character string of input is made up of the first stroke symbol of all Chinese characters in the name, and the character combination that CPU generates is the first stroke symbol combination of Chinese character.
First stroke as three Chinese characters of above-mentioned name " Li Chengzai " is respectively: "-", "
", "-", in the shown keyboard of Fig. 5, " 1 " expression "-", " 5 " expression "
" and " 1 " expression "-".Attention: because the stroke that different input in Chinese systems prints on cell phone keyboard is not quite similar, so represent that the numeral of these strokes may be also possible different on various mobile phones.After keying in, CPU generation serial data "-", "
", "-", matching treatment is carried out in combination to the first stroke of Chinese character in these serial datas and the name then, selects the name that need search.
The Chinese character of most of Chinese names (or stroke) only has 3, so when if telephony recording is a lot, the user may find a lot of qualified candidate's names.But, the present invention can also further dwindle candidate's name by the combination of phonetic and stroke: after importing 3 bit digital with phonetic or stroke, can also continue the numerical key of the first stroke representative of key entry name after phonetic is imported 3 bit digital, perhaps the numerical key of the first alphabetical representative of the Chinese phonetic alphabet of continuation input name is further searched after stroke is imported 3 bit digital.Fig. 5 has shown this step.After 3 bit digital by input name " Li Chengzai " the first stroke correspondence, the candidate name odd number is by 12, all is with "-", "
", "-" as the Chinese name of the first stroke; The user continues the first letter " l " by " 5 " expression input first phonetic transcriptions of Chinese characters of Chinese name " li ", have in the Chinese name identical "-", "
", "-" but stroke phonetic alphabet first place is not will being excluded of " j ", " k ", " l ".If many short-lists are still arranged, the user can continue to import by " 2 " first phonetic alphabet " c " of " chen ", after selected list is presented in " one screen ", the user just can by edit by other assignment keys, deletion or call treatment.
The present invention also is applicable to the Chinese name of searching 2 and 4 Chinese characters.After 2 bit digital were keyed in, CPU generated characters matched combination and combination of strokes, because the Chinese name of 2 or 4 Chinese characters is more rare, short-list may can show in " screen ".Just in case a lot of candidate's names are arranged, can reduce the quantity of candidate's name equally with the phonetic+stroke or the combination data string of stroke+phonetic.
For the mobile phone that stores many numbers in the sort of directory, the invention provides a kind of telephone number method of searching easily.Under holding state, key in continuous several bit digital for the treatment of the directory enquiry sign indicating number by cell phone keyboard, deposit buffer successively in; CPU concatenates into all possible combination of numbers according to the relevant character in the buffer, and the number with each character combination and recording equipment storage carries out matching treatment then, selects candidate's number, send display to show.
Sometimes the user only remembers certain part of whole number, such as: country code, area code or back 4 item sign indicating numbers etc., under holding state, the user keys in the part numeral (note: in order to obtain effective lookup result, the minimum number of input digit is that requirement is arranged) of number.In the middle of Fig. 5, shown candidate's name: Mark Phillip.This is not from character combination, and numeric string " 1515 " is the part of his telephone number.If the user thinks that " 1515 " of keying in are exactly the part of Mark Philip telephone number, he just can be appreciated that " the Mark Philip " that be presented on the screen is exactly the name that will look for.He can also search " Mark Philip " by keying in a part of number of " 6257 " searching in " Mark " or the whole number.
