Embodiment
To describe embodiments of the present invention in detail below.
Fig. 1 is the schematic block diagram that is used for the device of inputting ideographic characters according to of the present invention.In Fig. 1, display of label 100 expressions, label 101 expressions first window, label 102 expressions second window, label 107 expressions the 3rd window, cursor of label 106 expressions, tourelle of label 103 expressions, label 104 expressions first parts, label 105 expressions second parts, label 108 expressions the 3rd parts.
Tourelle 103 is handled by the user, is used for scroll cursor 106.Cursor 106 is presented in first window 101 or in second window 102.The switching of cursor 106 between second window 102 and first window 101 described in this manual subsequently.
Tourelle 103 can be a touch pad, and the finger that it detects the user is moved to the left on the surface of touch pad or moves right.Tourelle 103 can be a touch pad, and finger clockwise direction on the surface of touch pad that it detects the user moves or counterclockwise moves.Tourelle 103 also can be a rotor, and it can clockwise direction or rotation counterclockwise.
The dissimilar of tourelle 103 are not construed as limiting the present invention.
Can press by first parts 104.When pressing by first parts 104, it is used for cursor 106 is switched to first window 101 from second window 102.First parts 104 also can be used for cursor 106 is switched to second window 102 from first window 101.
First the dissimilar of parts 104 are not construed as limiting the present invention.
Can press by second parts 105.When pressing by second parts 105, it is used for a symbol or an ideographic character of selection cursor 106 demonstrations place.Just, when cursor 106 is presented in second window 102, and when pressing, just selected the symbol of cursor 106 demonstrations place by second parts 105.When cursor 106 is presented in first window 101, and when pressing, just selected the ideographic character of cursor 106 demonstrations place by second parts 105.
Second the dissimilar of parts 105 are not construed as limiting the present invention.
The diverse location of the diverse location of first parts 104 and second parts 105 is not construed as limiting the present invention.
The device that is used for inputting ideographic characters shown in Figure 1 also comprises an ideographic character engine.The ideographic character engine does not have shown in Figure 1, and inserts handheld device inside usually.
First function of ideographic character engine is to predict and displaying symbol in second window 102.In order to be chosen in a symbol that shows in second window 102, the user needs at first cursor 106 to be rolled on the symbol of desired input, presses by second parts 105 then.
Second function of ideographic character engine is an indicator gauge ideographic characters in first window 101.In the ideographic character that shows in first window each all is associated with the same-sign string.This symbol string is made up of second parts, 105 selected all symbols of the ideographic character that is used to import desired input.In example shown in Figure 1, the user has selected symbol " z ", and symbol string is " z ".Thereby, in first window 101, show the ideographic character be associated with symbol string " z ", for example " ", " increasing ", " ", " doing ", " why ", " in ".In other pages of first window 101, other ideographic characters can might be shown.As describing subsequently in this manual, for the ideographic character of selecting one in first window 101, to show, the user can switch to cursor 106 in first window 101, first window 101 rolls on face ground page by page, in a page, to find the ideographic character of desired input, cursor 106 is rolled on the ideographic character of the desired input in this page, presses by second parts 105 then.
The 3rd function of ideographic character engine is that an ideographic character will being selected by second parts 105 is input in the handheld device.Because second function of ideographic character engine can show a plurality of ideographic characters in first window 101.The user can at first be rolled to cursor 106 on the ideographic character of desired input, presses by second parts 105, so that the ideographic character of desired input is input in the handheld device then.
In order to import the ideographic character of a desired input, selected a symbol at second parts 105, thereby upgraded the current sign string (and as this instructions subsequently as described in, can in the 3rd window 107, show) afterwards, or do not selecting symbol, when the current sign string was beginning most of sky, the ideographic character engine was predicted possible symbol according to the current sign string, and only shows possible symbol in second window 102.
Should satisfy such requirement according to the possible symbol of symbol string prediction, promptly each in this symbol string and the possible symbol should be able to constitute a significant character string that is associated with at least one ideographic character.
Possible symbol can be presented at by different orders in second window 102, as the descending of ascending order or descending or this symbol frequency of utilization of alphabet sequence, symbol lengths.Show that with specific order the possible symbol of prediction helps the user symbol is selected.Yet, the different DISPLAY ORDER of symbol are not construed as limiting the invention.
Explain the prediction of possibility symbol in detail with example shown in Figure 1.Beginning most of the ideographic character of importing a desired input, symbol string is empty.Fig. 1 represents that the user has selected a symbol " z ".Then symbol conspires to create and is " z ".Possible symbol is " a ", " e ", " i ", " h ", " o ", " u " (at current page) and other symbols (at unshowned other pages of Fig. 1).In this symbol string and the possibility symbol each can constitute a plurality of significant character strings, and they are " za ", " ze ", " zi ", " zh ", " zo ", " zu " etc.Each significant character string is associated with one or more ideographic characters.Why for example, significant character string " ze " " increases " with ideographic character, " " etc. be associated; Significant character string " zu " is associated with ideographic character " ", " doing " etc.
All these ideographic characters (" ", " increasing ", " ", " doing ", " why ", " in ") (in current page) and other contingency table ideographic characters (in unshowned other pages of Fig. 1) are presented in first window 101.Although these ideographic characters are associated with some different significant character strings, they all with identical symbol string (it comes down to a public substring of these different effective strings), for example above-mentioned " z " is associated.
At any time, the ideographic character engine can predict and in second window 102, show an asterisk wildcard for example "? "Ideographic character is interpreted as any significant character with an asterisk wildcard, and operates accordingly.
The ideographic character engine is not only predicted possible symbol, and the caluclate table ideographic characters.In case according to the 3rd function selecting of ideographic character engine and imported an ideographic character,, the ideographic character engine is just predicted possible ideographic character according to the ideographic character of previous input, and shows this possible ideographic character in first window 101.
Should satisfy such requirement according to the possible ideographic character of the ideographic character of previous input prediction, promptly each in the ideographic character of previous input and the possible ideographic character should be a habitual phrase in the language of this ideographic character.For example, when import Chinese character " in " time, the ideographic character engine just can be predicted possible Chinese character " state ", " literary composition ", " being total to ", " centre ", " heart ", " China " etc., and shows their (seeing Fig. 5 F) in first window 101.
Can press by the 3rd parts 108.When being pressed on time, the 3rd parts 108 are used for face ground rolling page by page in second window, 102 symbols displayed, or the ideographic character that shows in first window 101.The 3rd parts 108 can become one with tourelle 103.The 3rd parts 108 can be in the left hand edge or the right hand edge (see figure 1) of tourelle 103.The 3rd parts 108 can be close to second parts 105 (seeing Fig. 2 A).
The 3rd parts 108 can be one or two microswitches, or any other equivalent device (seeing Fig. 2 A).The 3rd parts 108 can be the soft arrow (not shown) that is presented on the display 100, or the specific part of tourelle 103.
Dissimilar and the diverse location of the 3rd parts 108 is not construed as limiting the present invention.
Below describing based on ideographic character is the supposition of Chinese character.Yet supposition does not constitute any limitation the present invention like this.
When with phonetic method input Chinese character, symbols displayed comprises the phonetic alphabet of Chinese character in second window 102.For example, phonetic alphabet are " b ", " p ", " m ", " f " etc.
Below be to use the process that is used for the device of inputting ideographic characters by a Chinese character of phonetic alphabet input shown in Figure 1.In second window 102, show many phonetic alphabet at first.The user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet of a hope, and presses by second parts 105, so that the phonetic alphabet of selected this hope.Then, in order to import the Chinese character of desired input, the ideographic character engine shows all Chinese characters that are associated with the phonetic alphabet string of input hereto in first window 101, the phonetic alphabet that prediction is following, and in second window 102, show the phonetic alphabet of being predicted.
On the one hand, the user can press by first parts 104, and cursor 106 switches to first window 101, then cursor 106 is rolled on the Chinese character of desired input, and presses by second parts 105, so that Chinese character is input in the handheld device.
On the other hand, the user can be rolled to cursor 106 in second window 102 on second phonetic alphabet of Chinese character of desired input, and presses by second parts 105, so that select second phonetic alphabet of the Chinese character of desired input.The ideographic character engine upgrades the phonetic alphabet string, shows all Chinese characters that are associated with the phonetic alphabet string that upgrades in first window 101, the phonetic alphabet that prediction is following, and in second window 102, show the phonetic alphabet of being predicted.Above process can proceed to till the Chinese character that shows desired input in first page of first window 101 always.Along with the carrying out of above process, the Chinese character that shows in first window 101 tails off gradually.
In the conventional spelling input method, initial symbols displayed can be the complete or collected works of phonetic alphabet in second window 102, promptly from " a " to " z ".
Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 G represents to import a process of the Chinese character " this " of desired input, and the phonetic alphabet string of " this " is " zhe ".
Fig. 3 A represents the initial complete or collected works that show phonetic alphabet in second window 102.The user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " z " of desired input.
Fig. 3 B represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " z ", then in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " z ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " z ", comprise " ", " increasing ", " ", " doing ", " why ", " in ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " a ", " e ", " i ", " h ", " o ", " u ", and in second window 102, show these phonetic alphabet.
Fig. 3 C represents that the user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " h " of desired input.
Fig. 3 D represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " h ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zh ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zh ", comprise " plucking ", " wearing ", " very ", " just ", " only ", " in ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " a ", " e ", " i ", " o ", " u ", and in second window 102, show these phonetic alphabet.In addition, in second window 102, also can show " _ " (represent an alternative soft key in space, be used for cursor and switch).The user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " e ".
Fig. 3 E represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " e ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zhe ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zhe ", comprise " wearing ", " this ", " person ", " folding ", " screening ", " wise man ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " i ", " n ", and in second window 102, show these phonetic alphabet.In addition, in second window 102, also can show " _ " (represent an alternative soft key in space, be used for cursor and switch).In this step, the Chinese character " this " of desired input appears in first window 101.
Fig. 3 F represents that the user switches to cursor 106 first window 101 from second window 102.
Fig. 3 G represents that the user is rolled to cursor 106 on " this ".When the user pressed by second parts 105, then the Chinese character " this " with desired input was input in the handheld device.
More preferably, initial symbols displayed is the consonant of phonetic method in second window 102.The consonant of phonetic method is " b ", " p ", " m ", " f ", " d ", " t ", " n ", " l ", " g ", " k ", " h ", " j ", " q ", " x ", " zh ", " ch ", " sh ", " r ", " z ", " c ", " c ", " s ", " y " and " w ".By doing like this, with the spelling input method of routine relatively, greatly reduced for the phonetic alphabet that find a desired input second window 102 number of times of face ground rolling page by page.
After having selected a consonant, the ideographic character engine shows the vowel of phonetic method in second window 102.The vowel of phonetic method is " a ", " o ", " e ", " i ", " u ", " ü ", " ua ", " uo ", " ui ", " ia ", " ie ", " iu ", " ue ", " ai ", " ei ", " ao ", " ou ", " an ", " en ", " in ", " un ", " er ", " ang ", " eng ", " ong ", " ing ", " uai ", " iao ", " ian ", " uan ", " iang ", " iong ", " uang ".By doing like this, with the spelling input method of routine relatively, further greatly reduced for the phonetic alphabet that find a desired input second window 102 number of times of face ground rolling page by page.
Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 E represents to import another process of identical Chinese character " this ", and the phonetic alphabet string of " this " is " zhe ".
Fig. 4 A is illustrated in the consonant of the initial phonetic method that shows in second window 102.The user is rolled to cursor 106 on the consonant " zh " of desired input.
Fig. 4 B represents that the user has selected consonant " zh ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zh ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zh ", comprise " plucking ", " wearing ", " very ", " just ", " only ", " in ", predict a plurality of vowels, comprise " a ", " e ", " i ", " ai ", " ao ", and in second window 102, show these vowels.
Fig. 4 C represents that the user is rolled to cursor 106 on the vowel " e " of desired input.
Fig. 4 D represents that the user has selected vowel " e ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zhe ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zhe ", comprise " wearing ", " this ", " person ", " folding ", " screening ", " wise man ".Because phonetic alphabet string " zhe " is completely, so there are not the phonetic alphabet of prediction, cursor 106 automatically switches to first window 101 from second window 102.(in another embodiment that this instructions is described subsequently, can predict more phonetic alphabet and in second window 102, show these phonetic alphabet that when not having the phonetic alphabet energy predicted, cursor 106 just automatically switches in first window 101.)
Fig. 4 E represents that the user is rolled to cursor 106 on " this ".When the user pushed second parts 105, then the Chinese character " this " with desired input was input in the handheld device.
In case a phonetic alphabet string constitutes a complete phonetic alphabet string, cursor 106 just can automatically switch to first window 101 from second window 102.More preferably be to design the ideographic character engine in this manner, only make when no phonetic alphabet energy is predicted, cursor 106 automatically to be switched in first window 101.To make an explanation to this below.
Phonetic alphabet string " zhe " is a complete phonetic alphabet string of " this ", " wearing " etc.
Phonetic alphabet string " zhen " is a complete phonetic alphabet string of " battle array ", " shaking " etc.
Phonetic alphabet string " zheng " is a complete phonetic alphabet string of " just ", " disease " etc.
In input Pinyin alphabetic string " zhe " afterwards, although " zhe " is a complete phonetic alphabet string, the ideographic character engine does not automatically switch to cursor 106 in first window 101 yet, but predicts and demonstration " n ", " ng " in second window 102.
In input Pinyin alphabetic string " zhen " afterwards, although " zhen " is a complete phonetic alphabet string, the ideographic character engine does not automatically switch to cursor 106 in first window 101 yet, but predicts and demonstration " g " in second window 102.
In input Pinyin alphabetic string " zheng " afterwards, because no phonetic alphabet can be predicted, so the ideographic character engine automatically switches to cursor 106 in first window 101.
Thereby the mode of the Chinese character of a desired input of input is very flexible.
It below is a kind of mode of more preferably importing Chinese character.
Because the characteristic of phonetic method, the length of the phonetic alphabet string that is associated with a Chinese character can be greater than 7.Thereby, after having selected one or more phonetic alphabet, predict and show all remaining may phonetic alphabet be real, these remaining letters and the phonetic alphabet of having selected can form effective phonetic alphabet string together.
As previously mentioned, the input Chinese character " in " example in, the user can be in second window 102 Continuous Selection " z ", " h ", " o ", " n ", " g ", or in second window 102 Continuous Selection " zh ", " ong ".Because all remaining possibility phonetic alphabet that can form effective phonetic alphabet string with the phonetic alphabet of having selected together can be predicted and show to the ideographic character engine, so when the user has selected " zh " and " o ", then can in second window 102, show all remaining possibility phonetic alphabet, for example " u ", " n ", " ng ".The user can simply select " ng " finish with " in " the phonetic alphabet string that is associated.
Fig. 5 A to Fig. 5 F represent to import Chinese character " in " a process, " in " the phonetic alphabet string be " zhong ".
Fig. 5 A is illustrated in the initial complete or collected works that show phonetic alphabet in second window 102.The user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " z " of desired input.
Fig. 5 B represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " z ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet of being imported " z ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " z ", comprise " ", " increasing ", " ", " doing ", " why ", " in ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " a ", " e ", " i ", " h ", " o ", " u ", and in second window 102, showing these phonetic alphabet, the user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " h " of desired input.
Fig. 5 C represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " h ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zh ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zh ", comprise " plucking ", " wearing ", " very ", " just ", " only ", " in ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " a ", " e ", " i ", " o ", " u ", " _ " (space), and in second window 102, showing these phonetic alphabet, the user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " o ".
Fig. 5 D represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " o ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zho ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zho ", comprise " in ", " week ", " state ", " weight ", " kind ", " congee ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " n ", " u ", " _ " (space), " ng ", "-" (pitch mark), and in second window 102, showing these phonetic alphabet, the user is rolled to cursor 106 on the phonetic alphabet " ng ".(note: in first window 101, occurred desired input Chinese character " in ".The user can switch to cursor 106 in first window 101 simply, and select desired input Chinese character " in ".)
Fig. 5 E represents that the user has selected phonetic alphabet " ng ", in the 3rd window 107, show the phonetic alphabet string of being imported " zhong ", in first window 101, show a plurality of Chinese characters that are associated with " zhong ", comprise " in ", " weight ", " kind ", " loyalty ", " clock ", " swelling ", predict a plurality of phonetic alphabet, comprise " _ " (space), "-" (first),
(second sound),
(the 3rd),
(fourth sound), and in second window 102, show these phonetic alphabet, the user switches to cursor 106 in first window 101, make cursor 106 be presented at desired input Chinese character " in " on.
Fig. 5 F be illustrated in the selected desired input of user Chinese character " in " afterwards, the Chinese character that the prediction of ideographic character engine is possible comprises " state ", " literary composition ", " being total to ", " centre ", " heart ", " China " etc., and shows these Chinese characters.
According to the improved spelling input method of the present invention, for import Chinese character " in ", any one that the user can be in the following order come the input Pinyin letter in proper order:
(1)“z”、“h”、“o”、“n”、“g”；
(2)“zh”、“ong”；
(3)“zh”、“o”、“n”、“g”；
(4)“z”、“h”、“ong”；
(5)“zh”、“o”、“ng”；
(6) " z ", " h ", " o ", " ng "; Deng.
Whenever, in the process of the phonetic alphabet in selecting second window 102, the user can press by first parts 104, and cursor 106 is switched to first window 101, and selects the Chinese character (because the different order that relates to and may in the different pages) of the desired input in first window 101.
When with phonetic method input Chinese character, then second window, 102 symbols displayed comprise the Chinese phonetic script of Chinese character.For example, in order to import Chinese character " in ", need input Chinese phonetic script string “ ㄓ Qe ㄥ " with phonetic method, corresponding with the phonetic alphabet string of importing with the phonetic method " zhong ".Phonetic method is similar to the phonetic method, therefore utilizes the device that is used for inputting ideographic characters shown in Figure 1 by the process of phonetic method input Chinese character and the above-mentioned similar process with phonetic method input Chinese character.
When with stroke input Chinese character, then symbols displayed comprises the stroke of Chinese character in second window 102.For example, stroke is " one ", " Shu ", " Pie ", " Dian ", " Off ".
