Embodiment
Below will be with the example of mobile phone as portable terminal, present invention is described.But those skilled in the art should be understood that the present invention and is not limited to mobile phone, and can be applied to the equipment that all have kinds of miniaturized keyboards.
Figure 1A is the contour structures synoptic diagram as the mobile phone of an example of the present invention.This mobile phone comprises the keyboard 11 with a plurality of buttons, information Recognition device 12, display controller 13 and display 14.Figure 1B is the block diagram of induction keyboard, and wherein touch inductor 16 is installed on the keyboard 11, is used to respond to the touch operation of user to button.In Figure 1A and Figure 1B, identical parts are represented with identical reference symbol.
The user produces induced signal by touch keyboard 11 in touch inductor 16.Induced signal offers information Recognition device 12.Information Recognition device 12 identifies the information that the user imports, the i.e. pairing information of induced signal according to induced signal and current input mode.Then, the information of identification is passed to display controller 13, display controller 13 control displays 14 show the content corresponding with the button that is touched.
In addition, the inductive switch (not shown) can be set on induction keyboard, so that as required, open or close the inducing function of this induction keyboard, when closing inducing function, described induction keyboard does not have touch sensing function.
For the ease of watching, can demonstrate content on the touch key-press with for example large print.If content displayed is user's needs, then the user can press this button or choose key to choose this content, if not being the user, content displayed do not need, then the user can moveable finger to other button, at this moment display can show that the button content that this moment, the user touched selects for the user.
In addition, the area that touch inductor 16 can the button that finger sensing contacted.And when touching more than two key, the user can compare the area that button is touched.As an alternative, the area that also can utilize two above buttons of comparer (not shown) comparison to be touched.If finger touches more than two key 11 simultaneously, then induction information is the content of the bigger button of contact area.Induction information is transmitted to information Recognition device 12 and carries out the identification of displaying contents.Therefore, if the user has touched more than two key, the content that then identifies should touch content on the button of area maximum for the user.The input mode different according to current mobile phone, the content that information Recognition device 12 identifies are also different.Information Recognition device 12 is passed to display controller 13 with the content that identifies, and display controller 13 shows according to the font of information Recognition device 12 content identified control display 14 with large size.Such as, if current be numeral input, then information Recognition device 12 content identified are the numeral on the button; If current is the phonetic input, then information Recognition device 12 content identified are the letter on the button, and these numerals and letter are showing on screen 14 under the control of display controller 13.The information that if content displayed is the user to be wanted, then can choose content displayed by the key of pressing on this button or the mobile phone of choosing such as " OK " key, want the information imported if not the user, then the user can moveable finger to other button up to finding the information that oneself needs.
Owing on each button a plurality of letters are arranged, therefore when input is English, touches certain button and may on screen 14, show a plurality of letters.For example, if touch under the English input mode
Figure A20041006871100081
This button then can show j on screen 14, k, and three letters of l also show a cursor simultaneously, and cursor represents that the user presses the letter that will choose behind this key or " OK " key, and cursor is on first letter that shows under the default situation.Can come the cursor on the mobile letter this moment by the navigation key on the mobile phone, if want to select this letter of k, then pass through the navigation key moving cursor to k, " OK " key (" choosing " key) of pressing then on the mobile phone is selected k, at this moment, though finger is not on this alphabet key, because finger does not touch other digital alphabet keys, so the content on the display screen 14 is constant.Also can add numeral on the letter that shows, click keys is selected required letter continuously then.Such as, at j, k puts on 1,2,3 respectively on three letters of l, chooses j when clicking this button 1 time then, chooses k when clicking this button twice continuously, chooses l when clicking this button 3 times continuously.The time that can also rely on finger to place on button is selected letter, for example, when just touching button, cursor is default to be placed on first letter, and after through one period set time, cursor moves on the second letter, again through after one period set time, cursor moves on the 3rd letter ..., move to the last character imperial mother, move to again on first letter through one period set time.So move in circles, the user can press this button and choose this letter when cursor moves on certain letter, also can be when cursor moves on certain letter, choose this letter by " choosing " key, because after finger leaves button, not recycle of cursor position is moved, so also can choose this letter by choosing key.
Fig. 2 is the process flow diagram of touch keyboard work.After system starts working (step 201),, then start this function (step 202) if want to use the keyboard touch function.After starting the keyboard touch function, if certain button (step 203) on the user touches key dish 11, then touch inductor 16 induces user's touch, produce induction information (step 204), induction information sends information Recognition device 12 to, according to input mode, content displayed (step 205) is wanted in identification in information Recognition device 12.If want display digit (step 207), display digit (step 208) on screen then; If show English or phonetic, the then letter (step 209) on display button on the screen.If what show is the needed content of user (step 210), then the user can choose the content (step 211) of screen display by pressing this button or " choosing " key.If input process does not finish (step 212), then the user can continue the touch keyboard input information, otherwise input process finishes (step 213).
The workflow diagram of touch keyboard when Fig. 3 is inputting English letter.After system starts working (step 301),, then start this function (step 302) if want to use the keyboard touch function.After entering English input pattern (step 303), the button (step 304) of user touches key dish 11, induction information is discerned (step 305) in information Recognition device 12, and at this moment, content identified should be the letter on the button of keyboard 11.Information (step 306) after showing identification on the display 14.Because the letter on the button is generally 3 to 4, all letters all show on screen 14, but cursor is positioned on first alphabetical position defaultly.If the letter at cursor place is not the needed content of user (step 307), then can presses navigation key cursor is moved on the needed letter (step 308).Press " choosing " key such as " OK " key on the mobile phone, then can choose the letter (step 309) at cursor place.If input process does not finish (step 310), then the user can continue touch keyboard 11 input informations, otherwise input process finishes (step 311).
Operating process when Fig. 4 imports for phonetic transcriptions of Chinese characters.When the input Chinese character, entire display screen curtain 14 has been divided into three parts (as shown in Figure 6), and a part 61 is used to show the short message content of input, and short message content shows and only show delegation with moderate font size.Another part 62 to be showing phonetic than big font, some 63 shows the pairing Chinese character of phonetic with bigger font.
In Fig. 4, after entering phonetic transcriptions of Chinese characters input process (step 401), certain button (step 402) on the user touches key dish, then all letters on the button (part 62) on screen show (step 403), if the letter (step 404) that does not have the user to need in the letter that shows, then the user can moveable finger to other button, otherwise judge and whether imported complete phonetic (step 405) this moment, if also do not import complete phonetic, and just imported the part of phonetic, whether the corresponding Chinese character (screen portions 63) that shows of phonetic of then having a look the cursor place has the Chinese character (step 406) that needs, if there is not required Chinese character, and do not browsed the Chinese character (step 407) of all pinyin combinations correspondences, and the user wishes to continue to browse under the situation of Chinese character of other pinyin combinations correspondences (step 408), and the user can select for use a kind of in three kinds of moving cursor methods to continue to browse the pairing Chinese character of remaining pinyin combinations (step 409).The method of these three kinds of moving cursors is as follows: a kind of method is to utilize the method for navigation key; A kind of method is to utilize the method that pushes button continuously; Also having a kind of is regularly the method for moving cursor.In utilizing the method for navigation key, the user can move the position of the cursor that is positioned at the pinyin combinations part by navigation key; In the method that pushes button continuously, the user can come cursor on the mobile phonetic by pressing alphabetical place button continuously, for example clicks the button cursor and is positioned at first phonetic, double-clicks the button cursor and is positioned at second phonetic or the like; In the method for cursor time-shifting, during user's touch key-press, cursor just moves to next phonetic position every regular time, promptly allows cursor circulate between phonetic and moves, and after user's finger left this alphabet key, cursor was then no longer mobile.
If the user has browsed the pairing Chinese character of all pinyin combinations in step 407, perhaps in step 408, determine no longer to continue to browse other the pairing Chinese character of pinyin combinations, then the user can be by once " choosing " key to choose all letters (step 410) on the button, and then reenter step 402, begin new phonetic alphabet input process.If the user has imported complete phonetic in step 405, whether the phonetic of then judging the cursor place is (step 411) that the user needs, if not, then utilize a kind of moving cursor (step 412) to the required phonetic in the method for three kinds of above-mentioned moving cursors.If it is needed that the phonetic at cursor place is the user; Or under the phonetic situation of not being totally lost, the corresponding Chinese character of the phonetic at cursor place has the user to need in the step 406, then imports by twice " choosing " bond bundle phonetic continuously, chooses the phonetic (step 413) at cursor place simultaneously.At this moment, in the Chinese character display field, show and choose the pairing one group of Chinese character of phonetic, press the navigation key moving cursor to needed Chinese character position (step 414), press " choosing " key and choose the Chinese character at cursor place, the Chinese character of choosing adds in the Chinese character tabulation of having imported (screen portions 61) (step 415).The process of a Chinese character of input finishes (step 416).If the user also will import other Chinese character, then can repeat said process.
Embodiment when Fig. 5 is the input telephone number.Display screen 14 separated into two parts of whole mobile phone, digital content on wherein a part of 51 buttons that are used for being touched with the current finger of large print explicit user, if the user has pressed this button when numeral shows, then this numeral is added into the part 52 of the Mobile Directory Number of having imported.This two-part content can show that different colours can form contrast when showing, is convenient to distinguish with the font of identical or different color.
Fig. 6 during for create message with the embodiment of spell Chinese character input.Entire display screen curtain 14 has been divided into three parts, and a part 61 is used to show the short message content of input, and short message content shows and only show delegation with moderate font size.Another part to be showing phonetic 62 than big font, some 63 shows the pairing Chinese character of phonetic with bigger font.
In the part that shows phonetic, when importing first letter, if user's finger touch is to button, all letters on the button all can be presented on the screen 62, if the user has pressed button, then represent all to be presented at alphabetical selected on this button on the screen 62.In the time of the next letter of input, all letters on user's the button that finger touched can carry out pinyin combinations with all letters of having imported, all possible combination all is presented on the screen 62, and the Show Color of the letter on the color of the letter of having imported and the button that the active user is touched can be different so that user's identification.If user's finger has pushed the wrong the place, then can moveable finger to other button, the letter of the button that this is stylish can make up with the letter of importing previously, all possible combination is presented on the screen 62 equally.Owing to have a plurality of pinyin combinations, so cursor is positioned at the position of first pinyin combinations defaultly, though may also not import complete phonetic this moment, and just imported preceding several phonetic alphabet of whole phonetic, but in screen 63, can show pairing with the phonetic at cursor place, may be one group of Chinese character that the user needs.At this moment can have three kinds of methods to come cursor on the mobile phonetic, a kind of is the method for utilizing navigation key; A kind of method is to utilize the method that pushes button continuously; Also having a kind of is regularly the method for moving cursor.In utilizing the method for navigation key, the user can move the position of the cursor that is positioned at screen portions 62 by navigation key; In the method that pushes button continuously, the user can come cursor on the mobile phonetic by pressing alphabetical place button continuously, for example clicks the button cursor and is positioned at first phonetic, double-clicks cursor and is positioned at second phonetic or the like; In the method for cursor time-shifting, during user's touch key-press, cursor just moves to next phonetic position every regular time, promptly allows cursor circulate between phonetic and moves, and after user's finger left this alphabet key, cursor was then no longer mobile.In the process that cursor moves on screen portions 62, screen portions 63 can the pairing possibility of display highlighting place phonetic Chinese character.If have the user needed in the pairing Chinese character of cursor place phonetic, then can double-click the input process that " OK " key finishes phonetic by connecting, choose the phonetic at cursor place simultaneously.If all do not have the user needed in the pairing Chinese character of all phonetics, but it is required that the letter on this button is the user, then can click " OK " key and choose letter on this button, continue other phonetic alphabet of input then, up to whole phonetic imported or screen 63 in the required Chinese character of user has appearred and till.After phonetic is selected, the Chinese character that screen 63 parts show is the pairing one group of Chinese character of phonetic, cursor is positioned at the position of first Chinese character defaultly, at this moment, the user can be by the navigation key moving cursor on corresponding Chinese character, if the pairing Chinese character of the phonetic of choosing in one page, can not show Wan, then can be provided with two page turning keys (64,65) come before and after page turning, for example, navigation key up and down can be set and carry out forward or backward page turning respectively.When cursor was positioned on the needed Chinese character of user, " OK " key (also being " choosing " key) of pressing on the mobile phone can be chosen Chinese character.At this moment, selected Chinese character joins in the part 61.In Fig. 6, suppose to import " doing design tonight " this note, when input " establishing " this word, choose the button at " s " place earlier, at this moment screen can show the letters such as " p q r s " on the button at " s " place with blueness, if the user has pressed this key, then these letters are selected, color can transfer to represents the color black of input alphabet, and simultaneously screen 63 also can explicit user may be wanted the Chinese character imported.If do not have the user needed in these Chinese characters, then the user can continue to select the button at letter " h " place, letter on " h " button has " g; h; i " on screen, show the phonetic " qi si ri pi sh " that these letters and the letter of having imported can be formed, first letter in every spelling sound is the letter of having chosen, use black display, second letter is the letter on the button that touches of explicit user, shows with blue, the first spelling sound of screen 63 meeting demonstrations simultaneously is that the more pairing Chinese characters of phonetic at cursor place are for reference, for example, the Chinese character of " qi " this phonetic correspondence have " rise, its; gas; phase " or the like, if one page does not show that then screen can show the sign 64 of page turning backward.If the Chinese character that shows is not the content of homepage, also can show the sign 65 of page turning forward.If at this moment can in screen 63, find the required Chinese character of user, then the user can even double-click " OK " key table and shows that input Pinyin finishes, pass through the navigation key moving cursor then to required Chinese character, press " OK " key and choose required Chinese character, if the Chinese character that does not have the user to need, then the user can click " OK " key and choose letter on this key, proceeds the input of phonetic then.If the user has selected wrong button then can be selected to other button by moveable finger, the phonetic of the new button that touches makes up with the phonetic of having imported, continues, up to obtaining required Chinese character so always.If falsely drop in the middle of the user and suffered certain phonetic, then can remove the letter of just having chosen by " removing " key on the mobile phone, continue to select new letter then.After the user chooses a Chinese character, screen portions 62 empties so that the user imports new phonetic, part 63 can be carried out automatic phrase composing according to the Chinese character of firm input, show some Chinese characters that to organize speech with the Chinese character of input just backward, if after having imported " the present " this Chinese character, then part 63 show automatically " my god, after; day, evening " etc. Chinese character.Thereby the user can be by navigation key etc., with convenient mode input Chinese character more.
Sum up whole operation process by spell Chinese character input:
The first step, user's touch key-press, all letters on the button show that on screen 62 the pairing Chinese character of the phonetic at cursor place shows in screen portions 63 in the part 52.
In second step, in the process of input Pinyin, the user can adopt three kinds of cursors on the method moving screen part 62, and in the moving process, the user can browse the pairing Chinese character of corresponding phonetic in screen portions 63 to cursor in phonetic.
In the 3rd step, if occurred the needed Chinese character of user in the screen 63, then the user can even double-click " OK " bond bundle phonetic input process, chooses the phonetic at cursor place simultaneously.If the required Chinese character of user do not occur, but certain letter on this button is again that the user is required, then can click " OK " key and choose letter on this button, continue other phonetic alphabet of input then, up to complete phonetic be totally lost or part 63 in the required Chinese character of user has appearred.
In the 4th step, after the phonetic end of input, the user can press " OK " key and can choose this Chinese character by the cursor on the navigation key movable part 63 to required Chinese character, adds in the screen portions 61.
