Description

Letter key position core module type computer keyboard

Technical field the present invention relates to a kind of New-type computer external input device, promptly a kind ofly can refute the computor-keyboard that is connected on the use on the multiple computer equipment on the table top or on the facade or be held in and use on hand.

Background technology is after human society enters 21st century, and along with microelectronics industry and IT industry high speed development, people are stepping into brand-new electronic information epoch.Current under technology high-speeds such as Desktop PC computer, portable removable computer, mobile message mobile phone, information household appliances, automatic control machine equipment development, be faced with the severe challenge that keyboard key-position form and structure arrangement thereof lag behind and the demand of change as information with from the computor-keyboard of one of important input tool of control products.Reality has owing to everybody unavoidably will add among the social living environment of keypad information input, and this just makes the division of labor refinement of specialty typewriting and the input of daily life information and peels off.The keyboard of electronization adopts chicken to peck singly the referring to of meter formula, two finger, the singlehanded keyboard click keys that refer in the finger input process more for most people, and the keyboard that still can satisfy in the general live and work is imported demand.And the electronics universal keyboard that existing main circulation is used is still the professional universal keyboard that Table top type both hands capable of touch typing is manipulated, and is that the keyboard that professional typist or leisure old man use still all is that the universal keyboard of being arranged by " QWERTY " keyboard layout of Mr.Christopher, Mr.Latham and Mr.Sholes invention in 1868 is being used in continuity.So-called " universal keyboard " just is meant and comprises and contain A, B, C at least ... all keyboards of these 26 latin alphabet key positions of Y, Z and 10 alpha-numeric keys positions.Since this machinery typewriter that has 26 Latin alphabet keyboards " QWERTY " keyboard layout to arrange in 1873 comes out, people be not interrupted according to the social technology progress to this keyboard key-position layout arrangement reform, as Mr.August in 1936; " XPeRT " keyboards (Figure 14) of the DUORAK keyboard (Figure 13) of Mr.Dvorak invention, the U.S.'s 4824268 patent keyboards in 1989, PCT-CA03-01461 patent in 2003 etc. have thousands of design improvement schemes about the keyboard aspect.These both hands keyboard for typewriting towards electronization, intellectuality, multimedia, the multi-functional and continuous research and development of ergonomics direction, rely on novel, practical, the comfortable giant status of both hands keyboard in its input equipment of constantly consolidating in order to go with the tide of historical development.Yet face the arrival of modern technologies progress and " seamless calculating " information society, people have higher requirement to information interaction transmission, interactive basic interface-keyboard, and more fixing, portable, hand-held mobile electronic device terminal presses for the efficient computor-keyboard of easily learning that can singlehanded do table top operation and hand-held input and occurs.Recent two decades comes, the simple A of the usefulness that people have, B, C ... the linear array of letter comes layout to arrange small-sized singlehanded universal keyboard, and a lot of people's inventions were also applied for patent, as Chinese CN86203165 utility model patent in 1986; The U.S.'s 5059048 patents in 1991; The U.S.'s 5367298 patents in 1994; Chinese CN 02135635 patent of invention in 2002, they all disclose so that the understanding of character position is remembered, improved input efficiency and develops into the one-handed performance computor-keyboard of purpose to letters case structure layout again to the miniature portable direction.But the weak point of these universal keyboards is the keyboard layouts in its structure arrangement lacks the analyzing in detail demonstration, ranks layout format regular and rigid, reckon without the hand-held thumb operational issue, also do not consider simultaneously the Chinese phonetic alphabet input problem and the mark accent enter key position problem of the Chinese written language that uses in the universal language is maximum.The mark that has more such as language such as French, German, Spanish, Esperantos transfers the special-shaped letter all to make people feel that there is the problem of key position deficiency in alphabetical enter key position in addition.People imported never fine coordination the on this problem to these multilingual literal that coexist in the world in electronics universal keyboard information in the past, also do not consider the keyboard letter key position coreization, modularization, combination judicial convenience, make it to be used in flexibly the problem of distinct device, the computor-keyboard that so just makes innovation and creation in the past real versatility and international on be subjected to limitation.

The rule of various spoken and written languages in the keyboard input will be understood, study and be found to the deficiency that therefore will overcome existing computor-keyboard in depth, find the focal point between them and the key point of keyboard key-position structure arrangement, form basis and the starting point of creating the New-type computer keyboard.

Conventional art is seldom considered the importance that Chinese character input " phonetic changes method " mode is used in the independent letters case arrangement of computor-keyboard, promptly rely on the input Chinese phonetic alphabet to change Chinese character output into automatic recognition software or hardware character library.Totally 26 Latin alphabets of Chinese phonetic alphabet is consistent with the basic profile of English alphabet, and the letter that can make the sound that a phonetic transcriptions of Chinese characters starts just consonant letter has 23, and remaining is not started and only makes at the heel sound simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.The letter of nonoculture simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable has I, U, three of  (simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable  is replaced by alphabetical V), and A, E in 26 letters, O not only can make the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of the special initial consonant-zero initial (directly taking simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable to start) but also the imperial mother's face of can uttering a word separately.Letter N, G are two very special consonant letters in the middle of the Chinese phonetic alphabet, they not still two single consonants ending of a final that can also make simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable constitute the part of composite vowel.Letter N can form multiple composite vowel with alphabetical A, E, I, U, adds behind the alphabetical N that alphabetical G forms " NG " ending of a final monogram, and it and A, E, I, O, U also can form multiple composite vowel.Learn that from analysis alphabetical N occupies the critical role of taking over from the past and setting a new course for the future the Chinese phonetic alphabet connection chain.Letter G except that as single consonant phonetic beginning occurs, other situation is exactly immediately following the tail end that is in the phonetic alphabet connection chain behind the alphabetical N with alphabetical N symbiosis.Initial consonant H is one of letter of forming three double word initial consonant ch commonly used, sh, zh, and it also occupies than critical role in the Chinese phonetic alphabet connection chain.Through random statistical, in Chinese phonetic alphabet uses, it is respectively 83.3% (the seeing Figure 15) that I, N, A, E, U, H, G, O, D, S, Y, Z account for the total clicking rate of literal phonetic alphabet that the high letter of preceding 12 usage frequencies is arranged from high to low, wherein I, N, A, E, U, H, eight letters self of G, O are higher than average clicking rate, and the highest alphabetical I accounts for 14.5%, inferior high alphabetical N accounts for 11%, minimum alphabetical O accounts for 5.3%.

Conventional art does not fully take into account the characteristics and the rule of English letter letter input equally in the keys arrangement of computor-keyboard.English alphabet is totally 26 Latin alphabets, it is respectively 82.9% (the seeing Figure 15) that E, O, T, A, I, N, S, R, H, L, D, C account for the total number of clicks of letter that the high letter of preceding 12 usage frequencies is arranged from high to low, wherein preceding ten letters self are higher than average clicking rate, they are the highest be letter e account for 12%, inferior high be alphabetical O account for 9.4%, minimum be that alphabetical L accounts for 4.1%.Particularly alphabetical H also occupies the vital role of taking over from the past and setting a new course for the future in the English letter chain, as ch, sh, th, the combination of wh prefix.Consonant N and vowel A, E, I, O, U also have the adjacency of close blending and separate the relation of syllable.In the existing keyboard in the English affixe commonly used, monogram etc. all lack on keyboard layout arranges and in the convenient memory consideration should be arranged.

Conventional art does not also consider to take into account the characteristics and the rule of French writing letter input in the keys arrangement of computor-keyboard.The French letter is except that should being equipped with 26 Latin alphabets substantially, 12 marks that also have five kinds of footnote notes to form are transferred letter, the letter that preceding 12 usage frequencies are high in the French is respectively E from high to low, S, A, I, N, R, U, T, L, O, D, P accounts for 84.3% (seeing Figure 15) of alphabetical number of clicks, wherein preceding ten letters self are higher than average clicking rate, what they were the highest is that letter e accounts for 14.9%, inferior high be that alphabetical S accounts for 9.6%, minimum is that alphabetical O accounts for 5.2%, its all marks transfer alphabetical clicking rate only to account for a few percent, they are distributed in the symbolic key position and neutralize in the digital upper blocking key position, do not fix ad hoc district.

Relatively can draw the Chinese, English, the method female clicking rate ordering of three kinds of language word rule and be through above-mentioned objective law being made random statistical:

Chinese top ten letter is that I, N, A, E, U, H, G, O, D, S account for total clicking rate 77.6%

English top ten letter is that E, O, T, A, I, N, S, R, H, L account for total clicking rate 76.7%

French top ten letter is that E, S, A, I, N, R, U, T, L, O account for total clicking rate 77.5%

Total letter is E, A, I, N, six letters of O, S in three kinds of language top ten.

It is (seeing Figure 15) that the letter mixing clicking rate of three kinds of language is arranged from high to low:

Top ten is that E, I, A, N, O, S, T, U, R, H account for total clicking rate 72.8%;

Middle six is that L, D, G, M, C, Y account for total clicking rate 16.6%;

Sixteen bit accounts for total clicking rate 89.4% before adding up to,

Ten of backs are that P, W, F, B, J, V, Z, X, Q, K and mark transfer letter to account for total clicking rate 10.6%.

So take into full account Chinese written language phonetic alphabet usage frequency, the letter chain sequence constitutes and with English, French is the western language writing letter usage frequency of representative, the letter chain sequence constitutes, common ground and related law between the spoken and written languages of analysis Chinese and Western in the phonographic alphabet input are found out the composition Chinese, English, the high frequency letter of the hybridization of three kinds of language of method, particularly the clicking rate ordering is E, I, A, N, O, S, T, U, R, H, L, D, G, M, C, how important these 16 letters of Y are, we find to create the starting point and the only way of new computor-keyboard structure arrangement technology because Here it is.We can say that the letters case topology layout arrangement of computor-keyboard is the soul of keyboard, the keys arrangement that performs alphabetical input field is the key that keyboard structure is arranged.How the conventional art scheme lacks unified the arrangement and deep understanding and utilization comprehensively to N, G, these three letters cases of H and A, E, I, O, five vowels of U/simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable letters case on shared this technological layer of multilingual is.

Summary of the invention the objective of the invention is: create and a kind ofly can be used for table top or facade or hand-heldly carry out that one-handed performance or one hand and both hands help in hand by thumb manipulation, can satisfy the ergonomics action need that requires to be suitable for to lie fallow, can and use the flexible assembly of needs design four files or five files or six file letters cases and arrange and still keep taproot key position colony to arrange constant computor-keyboard according to the keyboard moulding; The creation the technical program computor-keyboard which kind of arrangement people run into of sening as an envoy to all equally is familiar with using, finger clicks that displacement is little, operation is smooth and easy efficient when literal is imported, not only made things convenient for the Chinese alphabetic writing input but also convenient be the computor-keyboard of the west literal input of core with English.

The present invention is to be solid foundation with existing electronic information technology, by to the researching and analysing and using of the alphabetical laws of use of western language literal such as Chinese alphabetic writing and English, creates technical solution.

Computor-keyboard in the technical program has existing keyboard existing due hardware unit, device and drive software, in the keyboard operation district, have alphabetical input field that letters case group becomes and such as numeric character, function switch, key-position area territory such as index navigation, editor's control and mouse control device, memory device etc., it is characterized in that:

In the technical program in the alphabetical input field (1) of computor-keyboard 26 latin alphabet key positions be divided into two parts, a part is the high clicking rate taproot key position group of area arrangement in block form; Another part is free key position, the periphery of low clicking rate dispersed arrangement.Taproot key position group should take in theory n capable * m row key position forms clicking rate and concentrates and be higher than more than 60%, import smooth and easy efficient, the key bit array that the learning and memory characteristics are arranged, n, m represents 3 respectively, 4, one of 5 numerals, the ranks form of this array, after participation letter and key position put in order and are defined as product standard, be formed in this serial keyboard unified changeless will be the alphabet key core modules (2) that people are familiar with operation, remaining 26-(the individual low clicking rate letters case of n * m) is arranged in the periphery of nucleus module according to the arrangement trend of alphabetical input field as free key position, periphery, the alphabetical input field of keyboard is formed be no less than n capable and be no less than the arrange regional of m row, as long as when people run into this different this programme computor-keyboard of arranging, see the just equally very fast use of being familiar with keyboard of unified total alphabet key core module.The key position core (4) of 2 * 2 square formations that all have three key positions in N key position and A, E, I, O, five vowel keys of the U position to be expert in the nucleus module that nine above letters case key bit arrays are arranged to be connected to form on the alignment, G key position closely links to each other with the N key position of this core.

According to Chinese, English and the research statistics of French letter clicking rate statistical form and the design feature of use of lying fallow among Figure 16 with the computor-keyboard of thumb manipulation, taproot key position group takes the key formation formula that is of moderate size in the technical program, promptly is made of 3 * 4 or 4 * 4 ranks alphabet key core modules (2) of the flexible assembly ability of

tool

12 or 16 high clicking rate letters cases being participated in by A, E, I, O, U, N, G, H letter.This alphabet key core module and institute besides enclose free letters case and cooperate, flexibly assembly design satisfy that computor-keyboard lies fallow use and different shaping and keyboard arrangement needs be no less than that four files and three are walked crosswise or the four key letter input fields (1) of walking crosswise key position alignment placement.The key character of 3 * 4 or 4 * 4 ranks key battle array alphabet key core modules (2) is in this programme: are expert to be connected on the alignment and form high clicking rate letter key hyte chain (3) in N key position and at least four key positions in A, E, I, O, five vowel keys of the U position, N key position forms the key position core (4) of 2 * 2 ranks with three key positions wherein in this group chain, G key position links to each other with the N key position of this core, and H key position links to each other with N key position straight line across a vowel key position of this core.

The characteristic feature of 3 * 4 or 4 * 4 ranks key battle array alphabet key core modules (2) is in the technical program: with N key position is center A, E, I, O, U takes to gather form in these five vowel key positions, formation is with N key position and two letters case core (4) forms that merge mutually that vowel key position is the public key position, be A, E, I, O, c-shaped three faces in five vowel keys of U position enclose and connect the N key and be arranged in the letters case core group (5) that opening forms 3 * 2 array formats, G key position links to each other at opening direction on one side with N key position, H key position is across a vowel key position and N, being expert in G key position, straight line links to each other on the alignment, makes A, E, I, O, U, N, G, eight letters cases of H form the letters case core space (6) of the typical meaning of a high clicking rate; The letters case core space can also be by H, I, N, G key position is arranged in same delegation from left to right, the E of Xiang Lianing from left to right, A key position and O, U key position is in I respectively, two sides up and down of N key position arrange and form, make E, I, three keyboard positions of O become the conjugation vowel letters case of H and N key position, E like this, A, O, U, H, I, N, eight key positions of G connect together, and formation is axisymmetric to be had such as a plurality of horizontal English alphabetic combination commonly used and the combinations of Chinese phonetic alphabet simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable such as ing, import best smoothly letters case core space (6A), its Chinese phonetic alphabet clicking rate is up to 70%, English letter clicking rate 54%, French letter clicking rate 50%.

The arrangement feature of standard 4 * 4 ranks key battle arrays of alphabet key core module in the technical program (2) is, is made up of in preceding sixteen bit letter key position E, I, A, N, O, S, T, U, R, H, L, D, G, M, this Chinese of C, Y, English and the average clicking rate of French letter, the row preface from top to bottom in 4 * 4 key position ranks, letter by left-to-right nucleus module key battle array arrangement is
