The content of invention:
One, the technical matters that will solve;
In mobile phone existing input method technology, all need use the mobile phone alphabet key.Mainly there are three problems in this mode: the one, and the visuality of mobile phone alphabet key is poor; Owing to comprised numeral, symbol and 3～4 English alphabets on the alphabet key of mobile phone, caused English alphabet very little.Caliginous user can't see the letter on the button clearly at a distance, in the next especially difficulty of rather dark situation.When the user is in the environment (in the vehicles of for example walking or travelling) of motion,, cause to carry out rapid and precise input owing to rock and to be difficult in button, find easily required letter.When serious even can't use mobile phone.The speed of input and accuracy thereby also seriously influenced.The 2nd, search letter and can not accomplish to come into plain view; Disperse because alphabet key is arranged, visuality is poor again, adds that user's finger can block button formation, causes the user can't accomplish to come into plain view when searching letter, and the efficient of letter is searched in influence.The 3rd, can't touch system import; The user has to have a look screen and has a look alphabet key again in input process, cause operation not only slow but also bother.
The present invention is by the soft keyboard of display graphicsization in mobile phone screen, in cellphone inputting method software with the function of the form simulation mobile phone alphabet key of button, thereby (for example inputting English letter or the Chinese phonetic alphabet) substitutes alphabet key in the process of input.Because soft keyboard in mobile phone screen, makes the user can accomplish to come into plain view in search procedure the English alphabet centralized displaying.And regardless of different kinds of the letter that shows in the screen and sharpness alphabetical outstanding than in the button all, guaranteed good visuality.Make the user no matter rather dark or rock in the violent environment and can both normally search letter.Because only need to use operating keys such as the directionkeys of mobile phone or rocking bar in the process of operation soft keyboard, number of keys is few and fixing, makes the user need not seeing that button operates, thereby realize being similar to the effect of touch system input in the computing machine.
Two, technical scheme;
One) relation of soft keyboard and cellphone inputting method
Soft keyboard is subordinated to cellphone inputting method and activates by input method.
Two) composition of soft keyboard and represent the method for English alphabet;
Soft keyboard is made up of button.
Button quantity is eight, and each button is represented 3～4 English alphabets (representing the method for English alphabet similar with the mobile phone alphabet key).
For example:
| The button sequence number | The English alphabet (alphabet sequence) of representative |
| ????1 | ????abc |
| ????2 | ????def |
| ????3 | ????ghi |
| ????4 | ????jkl |
| ????5 | ????mno |
| ????6 | ????pqr |
| ????7 | ????stuv |
| ????8 | ????wxyz |
Three) classification of soft keyboard and suitable mobile phone operation key;
Soft keyboard is divided into two classes: promptly eight to soft keyboard and four-way soft keyboard.Be applicable to directionkeys (or rocking bar) that eight directions are arranged in the mobile phone and the directionkeys that four direction is arranged respectively.
Four) arrangement principle of soft keyboard button and using method;
Eight arrangement principle to the soft keyboard button are: with eight buttons be arranged in eight corresponding directions of direction of directionkeys (or rocking bar) on.Be the center promptly, eight buttons are arranged on eight directions such as the upper and lower, left and right of this point, upper left, lower-left, upper right, bottom right with a bit.The arrangement principle diagram is seen accompanying drawing one.The using method of its button is: certain direction of pressing directionkeys (or rocking bar) is promptly carried out selection operation to being arranged in the button that the counterparty makes progress in the soft keyboard.For example: press the direction that directionkeys makes progress, promptly the button that is arranged in the top in the soft keyboard is carried out selection operation one time.
The arrangement principle of four-way soft keyboard button is: with eight buttons be arranged in the corresponding direction of directionkeys four direction on.Be the center promptly, eight buttons are arranged on the four directions such as upper and lower, left and right of this point, arrange two buttons on each direction with a bit.The arrangement principle diagram is seen accompanying drawing two.The using method of its button is: owing to all arranged two buttons on each direction, therefore need select this two buttons respectively by different touch potentials when the service orientation key: then will select to be arranged in the soft keyboard button that the counterparty makes progress by certain direction of a directionkeys; Select another button by twice continuously.For example: arranged that above soft keyboard " A ", " B " connect a button.The direction selectable buttons " A " that makes progress by directionkeys is continuously by twice selectable buttons " B ".
Five) pattern of soft keyboard;
Under the prerequisite that satisfies soft keyboard button arrangement principle, can produce different soft keyboard patterns in conjunction with different button-shape.
For example eight to soft keyboard, if button is a rectangle, then can lay out the pattern as figure three; If button is a triangle, then can lay out pattern as figure five.
And,, then can lay out pattern as figure six if button is a rectangle for the four-way soft keyboard.
Different soft keyboard patterns can adapt to different mobile phone screens, and satisfy the aesthetic demand of user.No matter the concrete pattern of soft keyboard why, and on behalf of the method for English alphabet, the principle of layout and the method for use, its button can not change.
Three, beneficial effect.
1) improves the visuality of searching letter in the input process, speed and the accuracy that improves search efficiency and input;
The present invention utilizes the soft keyboard of mobile phone screen display graphicsization, and by button with the English alphabet centralized displaying in mobile phone screen, the user can be come into plain view when searching letter, thereby improves search efficiency.Be simultaneously displayed on the graphical soft keyboard in the screen, its visuality is more outstanding than mobile phone alphabet key.Even if the user still can be checked in the environment of rather dark or violent shake clearly, avoided not causing operating slowly or the situation of error because of seeing Chu.
2) realize the touch system input;
Because the user is the main operating keys such as mobile phone directionkeys or rocking bar that use in the process of input, number of keys is few and fixing, makes the user be easy to just to accomplish not see that button just can carry out input operation, thus realize similar computer illiterate lose into effect.
