Description

  The present invention relates to keyboard input.

  There are hardware buttons and soft keys for inputting characters, etc., and pressing the button to release it, releasing it by touching the key, or clicking (pressing) with a mouse or the like a small arrow or the like as a “pointer”. Each operation such as clicking and releasing while connected to the key is set to “tap”, and the buttons, keys, etc. are set with characters and input information for performing operations, functions, etc., and the input set by tapping The button occupies a certain area by shape, the input information is displayed on the surface of the occupied area, and the key occupies a certain area to recognize the connection In addition, input information is displayed in the column on the surface of the occupied area, and it can be recognized that the input signal by pressing the button is continuously recognized and the touch to the key is maintained. Set the status to “Maintain Connection” ), And was to eliminate the connection of the connection maintaining been a "connection release".

  The buttons and keys are “existing keys”, and when the information set in the existing keys is characters, “character keys” are used, and a set of existing keys is “keyboard”.

  Waiting for an input signal from an existing key due to connection is set to “standby state”, and a vertical square or underline indicating the position where the character is displayed by the input signal is set to “cursor”. In the state of waiting for input information, a screen for displaying a keyboard, a character display space, a cursor, and the like on an LCD or touch panel screen or an output device such as a personal computer has been referred to as an “input screen”.

  An area in which character information similar to the character key is potentially set apart from the character key is constructed around the keyboard and the keyboard, the constructed area is defined as a “latent key”, and the latent key is based on the character key. The arrangement of the aggregate set in a selectable state in the vicinity connected to is set as “latent arrangement”, and the latent arrangement is set to the connected character key by maintaining the connection.

  A latent arrangement is set for the character key, and the movement while connecting within the area of the character key is recognized in the direction of the latent key to be selected from the set latent arrangement, and the connection is made when the movement is recognized. release. “Flick input” in which the character information of the latent key selected by releasing the connection is input, and the latent arrangement is set in the character key, and from the set latent arrangement to the area of the latent key to be selected The movement while connected from the character key is recognized, and the connection is released when the movement is recognized. There is a “slide input” in which the character information of the latent key selected by the release of the connection is input, the flick input and the slide input are set as “movement input”, and the connection is maintained in the process of the movement input. The process up to the point when the movement from the character key to the latent key to be selected in the latent layout is recognized as “connection movement” and the character information of the latent key recognized by the connection movement is displayed on the cursor as “selection” “Display” and “input confirmation” means that the input of the character information displayed on the cursor is confirmed by releasing the connection from the selected and displayed state.

  In the Japanese input method using kana characters, all the character keys are kana in the “A” column, and “I”, “U”, “E”, “O” columns in each row of the “A” column The character information of each kana is set as a latent key, the set latent key is set as the “accompanied latent key”, and the latent key set in four directions, up, down, left and right adjacent to the character key to which the accompanying latent key is connected. There is an input method in which the arrangement is “accompaniment latent arrangement”, a desired accompaniment latent key is selected from the accompaniment latent arrangement, input is confirmed by releasing the connection, and a standby state is entered, and the input method has been “kana flick” .

  When inputting romaji in Japanese on a keyboard with a QWERTY layout, the character information of each vowel alphabet to be input and converted to kana at the end is set as a latent key. Is a vowel latent key, and a latent arrangement in which the vowel latent key is set in multiple directions adjacent to a consonant character key is referred to as a vowel latent arrangement, and shares the same information as the character information of the character key. A latent key set in a state where the connection is maintained at the same position so as to synchronize is set as an “input latent key”, and the input latent key becomes a base point of connection movement. The process of displaying the character information of the changed input latent key on the cursor is called “input display”, and it is input and displayed when the consonant character key is connected. When the input information displayed is confirmed, the desired vowel latent key is selected and displayed from the vowel latent layout, and when the connection is released, the input displayed consonant and the selected displayed vowel are matched by the kana conversion function before the cursor. There is an input method in which the input is confirmed after being converted into one kana and enters a standby state, and this input method has been referred to as “Romaji flick” (see Patent Document 1).

  Flick guide, flower guide, gesture guide, etc. that display the direction and position of latent placement and character information and serve as a guide for connection movement are referred to as “guide table”, and the guide table is similar to latent placement or in the same direction and positional relationship Then, each area where the character information of the character key and the latent key is indicated as “column”, and the column where the same character information is shared in the same position as the center of the guide table or the character key or the input latent key as the column. In the vicinity of the input field, a field in which character information similar to the potential arrangement or the direction or the positional relationship is displayed is arranged, and a group of the arranged fields is referred to as the “selection field”. The guide table is set at the same time as the latent arrangement, and has been used in combination with slide input, kana flick, and romaji flick.

  According to the frequency of alphabetical use, “e” is 11.41% in the first place, 8.45% is “a” in the second place, 8.18% is “t” in the third place, and “i” is 7 in the fourth place. .13%, 5th place "o" 7.05%, 6th place "s" 6.97%, 7th place "n" 6.77%, 8th place "r" 6.22. %, 9th place is “h” 4.26%, 10th place “l” is 3.87%.
