Abstract

The improved character inputting method in key pad is to input characters with rocker keys. Each rocking direction of one rocker key corresponds to one character input, and the arrangement or combination of several rocker keys can input letters of Chinese, English, Spanish, etc. The present invention has small key pad area and high character input efficiency, and is suitable for cell phone, telephone set, remote controller, measuring instrument, PDA, computer and other equipment needing character input.

Description

A kind of method of utilizing rocking bar keys input alphabet, symbol or numeral

Technical field

The present invention is a kind of method, be useful for the input small keyboard of mobile phone, PDA, phone, telepilot, tester, controller, notebook computer or the like equipment or device, can in these input keyboard planes, reduce key position number, and the realization one-touch is finished the input of letter, symbol or a numeral (hereinafter to be referred as character).

Background technology

At present, on the keypad of various equipment that need input character and device because keyboard area is little, button can not design too small too much, inconvenient button operation, when input character, all repeatedly button is selected, typical situation such as: mobile phone is failed note.The input keyboard of equipment such as present mobile phone makes alphabetical input efficiency very low.Utilize the present invention, can on the keypad of these equipment, realize character of one-touch input.Thereby raising input efficiency.

Summary of the invention

The present invention utilizes rocking bar keys to finish the input of character, in the narrow and small plane of the input small keyboard of all kinds of devices, under the situation that does not increase or reduce button, realizes that one-touch finishes the input of a character, and the big keyboard of computer is miniaturized on the keypad.Rocking bar keys refers to multi-way rocking bar formula button, is a kind of common electronics components and parts, is the design of a kind of button, the typical case is common have five to rocking bar and nine to rocking bar.Can certainly have three-dimensional, four-way, five to, six to, seven to, eight to rocking bar etc.

The present invention utilizes the different character of the different directions of rocking bar representative to import, to rocking bar " upper and lower, left and right, in " five directions are arranged such as five, just can represent any five characters respectively, typical as: " 12345 ", " abcd1 " or " abcde ".Nine to rocking bar for another example, and " upper and lower, left and right, in, upper left, lower-left, upper right, bottom right " nine directions are arranged, and just can represent any nine characters respectively, typical as: " 123456789 " or " abcdefghi ".So just can import a plurality of characters,, then can import 5 characters if take five to rocking bar by a rocking bar keys; If take nine, then can import 9 characters to rocking bar.So just can effectively reduce the number of keypad keys, dwindle the area of keyboard, but can import numerous characters efficiently.

Common alphabetic literal has English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian or the like, comprises that also Japanese katakana, hiragana, Korean etc. also are alphabetic literals.Though Chinese is images and characters, pass through coding techniques at present, also can finish Chinese alphabetized input by corresponding coding monogram, all mostly all need character about 30 to import different language literal (Japanese character any more) in a word, on traditional keypad, arrange about 30 buttons, it is very little that button has to design.Because little, how in a selected manner button operation is very inconvenient naturally, therefore, has to reduce button, take key input character, input efficiency is not high naturally like this.And after realizing keypad by the present invention, just can solve this contradiction, both button key position is few, again can character of one-touch input.Be a kind of big keyboard microminiaturization, be fit to the very high-efficiency method of keypad input.

Because a key is imported the high efficiency of multicharacter keyboard plane utilization factor, it is very little to make that keypad can be done, and rocking bar keys can be accomplished front, side even the back side of this kind equipment.This outward appearance and aesthetic feeling to this kind equipment can be brought very big improvement, such as to Hand Personal Computer, PDA, PDA mobile phone, pen type mobile phone, Wristwatch-type mobile phone or the like.
