Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the soft keyboard of touch-screen input, relate in particular to the Chinese and English keyboard layout scheme of using the soft keyboard that the dot-dash combination imports.
Background technology
Touch-screen is present widely used a kind of technology, for touch-screen, its input method normally shows a simulating keyboard on touch-screen, be commonly referred to as soft keyboard, import by the mode of clicking or click back mobile (i.e. line) then, because it is touch-screen is in general smaller, more like this in particular for the touch-screen on the small-sized electronic product, so the rationality of its keyboard layout just becomes the key factor that influences this soft keyboard input performance and efficient.
A kind of existing scheme is the soft keyboard that design class is similar to traditional 3*4 machinery telephone key-press, by the definition input character to key combination.Whenever by character of two key inputs,, import v etc. by 1,5 such as double-clicking 1 input a.Also can be by contact screen, drag, frameing out then replaces successively by two key input characters, is dragged to 5 then as contact 1 earlier and leaves and replace earlier by 1 back by 5 input v.Expand to again then to contact earlier and just afterwards drag directly input character.Adopt this scheme, because the symbol of a key representative is more, therefore need to adopt certain mark to point out, a kind of conceptual scheme is to arrange around middle key (5 on the phase conventional telephone set), character except each key position representative, from key on every side to 5 keys and from 5 keys towards periphery key all represent a character again, these characters are with regard to Direct Mark eight directions around the character of key position.Except these characters can also increase other characters, but the method for mark is all identical.
But, adopt the soft keyboard of such scheme to have following problem:
At first, be not suitable for importing the such coded text of Chinese, owing to do not have word selection and the such design of code displaying, so can not realize Chinese pinyin, five input, the day Chinese character input of Japanese etc.
The second, mask method is science not, just the character hash of all directions representative on all directions of key position, do not have effective direction diagram, be not easy to the user and watch.Simultaneously, mark quantity is too many on the key, key of this technology is except self eight key combination towards periphery, so a key can be represented 9 characters at most, but all be to annotate on button by the mode of Direct Mark, 9 characters of mark just are difficult to see clearly on less key position, show more to be difficult to see clearly on soft keyboard, promptly require the higher resolution of screen, also be difficult to memory.

See the example of an input below, Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram of finishing an input process according to the soft keyboard of embodiments of the invention to Fig. 5.What this input process was used is spelling input method, therefore soft keyboard is configured to the phonetic soft keyboard, for the phonetic soft keyboard, when mark, adopted the mask method of various ways, except the character that directly needs is indicated is write in the above, also adopted knockdown mark mode (being primarily aimed at Chinese), as in the input Pinyin simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, a Regional Representative o, another Regional Representative u, two mutual combinations just can be represented simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable ou and uo respectively, do not need to remake other marks.Division to zone and trend can realize bigger semaphore like this.
Soft keyboard shown in Figure 2 is the form that is configured to the initial consonant input, and as shown in Figure 2, the English input of initial consonant input panel layout fundamental sum standard is identical, is exactly much middle delegation's word selection and moving cursor.The input mode of the initial consonant also input mode with the English input Chinese and English of standard letter is identical, be exactly that any will be noted, when input does not have the word of initial consonant (as " peace " etc.), " rhythm " (indicating 21 among the figure) with the bottom right replaces initial consonant, in input simplicity phrase also is like this, rather than first letter of input simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.
Space (indicating 22 among the figure), backspace (indicating 23 among the figure), carriage return (indicating 24 among the figure), move left and right vernier several Control such as (being 25,26 among the figure) symbol are original state (being the current state that does not have the phonetic input), usage is imported with standard English, symbol is identical in importing, and all plays original effect.But under the current situation that phonetic input arranged, input " space " enters the word selection panel, initial consonant that input " backspace " deletion is current or simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, and all initial consonants and the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of current input are then removed in input " carriage return ", get back to original state.Input move left and right vernier can the interior vernier of mobile phonetic input field.It is blank that candidate block 8 shows in Fig. 2.
Under the current situation that phonetic input arranged, input lattice in the lower right corner can become
Directly the click effect is equivalent to backspace, deletes the initial consonant or the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of current input.After the initial consonant input was finished, soft keyboard can automatically switch to the form of simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable input panel.
Fig. 3 is the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable input panel, and the big simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of the runic that has had in the grid is a key position simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, all is positioned at the middle section of input lattice.Simplicity group speech key (indicating 31 among the figure) is also referred to as " speech " key, is used for all simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of wildcard, cooperates phrase input raising speed.Simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable input panel as shown in Figure 3, the adjacent vowel of first row can be combined into simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable mutually.Writing on input lattice middle section simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable tiny letter on every side sews for the front and back of combination usefulness, the expression that writes on a simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable left side, key position/right side left/the right one lattice line (promptly being scoring to another zone) from a zone for and this monogram, line is directive, the symbol of initiation region is preceding, the symbol of end region after.For example, middle section is definable " i " and " u " in the left zone of input lattice of " an " and the right zone, can make up " uan " and " ian " two simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable.The simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable input panel has been used oblique line (sign 32 among the figure) especially, write on before the combination in a simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable left side/lower right corner, key position postfix notation left/lower right corner one lattice are scribed ss and this monogram, the line mode with aforesaid about rule identical.For example, middle section is definable " n " and " ao " in the oblique adjacent input lattice of input lattice of " i ", can make up " in " and " iao ".Simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable input panel shown in Figure 3 in addition also provides the input of six initial consonants commonly used, so that import phrase with simplicity fast.Following table is the combination simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable table of comparisons:
| Ai a-speech | ????ia?a-e | ????in?i-an | ????uan?an-ong | ????un?u-eng |
| ??ei?e-i | ????ian?an-eng | ????iong?ong-an | ????uang?ang-ing | ????uo?u-o |
| ??en?e-ong | ????iao?i-ang | ????iu?i-u | ????ue?u-ong | |
| ??er?e-a | ????ie?i-e | ????ou?o-u | ????ui?u-i |
After having imported initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable, Chinese character will appear, and Chinese character or phrase will appear in candidate block 8 at this moment, at this moment, soft keyboard just switches to the form of the panel of demonstration Chinese character as shown in Figure 4, and in the case, the symbol that the front is imported can be presented at incoming symbol viewing area 9.Candidate's words can appear in candidate block 8, among this embodiment, the method for selecting words be not directly point on word, but from top or streak the word selection hurdle from below.For independent Chinese character, cell can show a plurality of Chinese characters, among this embodiment, a cell shows two Chinese characters, the upper right principle in lower-left is followed in its system of selection, promptly for two candidate in each lattice, streaking what choose from top to bottom is exactly the word in the left side, and streaking what choose from the bottom up is exactly the word in the right.As shown in Figure 4, select " not having " word (indicating 41 among the figure), need streak the word selection hurdle downwards from g, if upwards streak " whenever " (indicating 44 figure) exactly that the word selection hurdle is chosen from zh at these lattice of g (indicating 42 among the figure) and these lattice of zh (indicating 43 among the figure).In this embodiment, the method that mark moves is also used the mode of line, follows the upper right principle in lower-left, draws from top to bottom and is moved to the left vernier (indicating 45 among the figure), draws the vernier that moves right (indicating 46 among the figure) from the bottom up.Word generally all is to occupy the 1-2 lattice separately, thus no matter down or up streak, all be to choose whole word, for example " plum blossom " (indicating 47 among the figure) and " beautifying " (indicating 48 among the figure).
Click space (indicating 22 among the figure) at the phonetic input state and just enter as shown in Figure 5 word selection input panel, the arrow up and down on the right (indicates 51 among the upward arrow figure, indicate 52 in the following arrow plot) be up and down page turning, blackening just explanation turn over and reach an end the state of the upward arrow 51 among Fig. 5.Initial consonant of the current input of backspace (indicating 23 among the figure) deletion or simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable also withdraw from the word selection panel simultaneously, and * (indicating 53 among the figure) removed all phonetics inputs, withdraws from the word selection panel simultaneously.
In word selection input panel shown in Figure 5, the words in the big grid is directly clicked and just can be imported, the operation in candidate block 8 with introduce above identical.Can withdraw from the word selection state automatically after choosing a words, remove the initial consonant and the simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable of current input simultaneously.
Keyboard of the present invention also can be arranged to the form of 3 row, 4 row, and like this, the rightmost side is that the 4th row are used for defining punctuation mark once row.Concrete arrangement just has been not described in detail here, and the principle of its configuration is the same with the keyboard of 2 row, 6 row recited above.
Sometimes, for the less situation of some screen, also keyboard layout can be become the form of 3 row, 3 row, the arrangement of lifting a vowel keyboard illustrates, first behavior " o ", " u ", " i ", second behavior " an ", " a ", " e ", the third line are " eng ", " ong ", " ing ", this just is used for illustrating, and unrestricted technical scheme of the present invention.
Advantage of the present invention is to set up the input soft keyboard of the big enter key position of tool on less touch-screen, improves the speed and the comfortableness of input.Having made up word selection zone and coding shows, controlled the quantity of mark simultaneously, the character of mark on average is distributed in each input lattice, for example use 12 regional schemes, with regard to all the alphanumeric punctuates on the complete mark of the energy PC keyboard, can accomplish to import maximum 5 marks of lattice after the reasonable distribution, compared to existing technology, the solution of the present invention can mark on littler zone better.Its soft keyboard of the solution of the present invention can be configured to different input keyboards and can switch simultaneously, thereby word selection and code displaying functions also are provided.
