Abstract
The invention discloses a character input device and method, especially one applied to various controllers, dividing the characters such as English letters, Arabic digitals, phonetic symbols and special symbols into plural groups, each of which can correspond to an input key on the input device, when a key is pressed, all the characters corresponding to the group the key belongs to will be displayed on a screen and form an enter select sheet, and with the help of plural direction select keys, it selects one of these characters in the enter sheet and further uses a confirm key to confirm the character to be input, and thus it can use a simple inputting device to input many different characters, not only easy to operate but also able to effectively reduce the making cost.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of character entry apparatus and input method thereof, particularly a kind of character entry apparatus and input method thereof that is applied to various telepilots, not only easy operating also can effectively reduce cost of manufacture.
Background technology
Evolution along with Information technology, the household appliances informationization has become the commercially available prod main flow, for example utilizes a home entertaining gateway (gateway) with in conjunction with general televisor, can link an internet, and carry out uploading or download work of data, play audio-visual entertainment effect and reach.
And the character entry apparatus of home entertaining gateway, as shown in Figure 1, home entertaining gateway 13 is connected with on a display or televisor 15, and its input keyboard 14 is provided with function buttons such as a plurality of numeral input buttons 141, English alphabet input button 143, moving direction of cursor button 147, deletion button 142, the button 144 of giving up the throne, affirmation button 17 just like general in computer keyboard on keyboard 14.When the user desired inputting English letter or numeral, English alphabet input button 143 or the numeral input button 141 that only need directly push correspondence got final product.Otherwise, when desiring incoming symbol, then need simultaneously to move button 148 and institute and desires that the pairing numeral of incoming symbol is imported button 141 or English alphabet is imported button 143 by pressing.And the English alphabet of being imported, numeral or special symbol can see through wireless or wire transmission line 135 and video picture on a television screen or display 15, so, the user can see through keyboard 14 and website that the input desire links or upload downloaded data.
The characters input method that this kind commonly used can provide a kind of input mode simply fast really, but because it is in the mode of the corresponding input button of a character, need the huge button of number, not only increase shared spatial volume size on foot, and also can't combine, and can't effectively reduce cost of manufacture with general telepilot.
In order to solve this problem, people have developed a kind of characters input method, as shown in Figure 2, it mainly is to have one to be provided with a plurality of digital input keys 25 and dummy keyboard on the input media 20 of a plurality of buttons and to activate button 27, direction and move button 21, confirm function button such as button 23.When the user desires input characters or symbol, can push dummy keyboard and activate button 27, see through wired or wireless transmission line this moment, and via the effect of home entertaining gateway 13, and a dummy keyboard 155 appears on television screen or display 15 immediately, but the direction of user's push input device 20 moves specific character or the numeral of button 21 to choose dummy keyboard 155, push again and confirm button 23, the place ahead of the cursor 157 of display screen 15 is imported and be shown in to literal that is selected or symbol immediately, finish the character string or the website data of user's desire input in regular turn.In addition, when the user pushed dummy keyboard activation button 27 once more, the dummy keyboard 155 on the display screen 15 was closed immediately.
Though the input method of above-mentioned use dummy keyboard 155 can effectively reduce the volume size of input media 20, but it in use, repeatedly service orientation moves button 21 to choose particular letter or symbol, simultaneously, dummy keyboard 155 is numerous because of number of keys, so occupy display screen 15 great area ratios, on using, its inconvenience arranged.
