Description

Smart Chinese Character Input Method {SISC: Smart Input System for Chinese}

First, the prior art is largely divided into two. By writing the unique sound of each Chinese character in alphabetical form, we make the Chinese characters by combination considering the characteristics of bottled food and Chinese characters which find the relevant Chinese characters in the group It is a combination formula.

The advantages of the bottled food are 1) the advantage of the English keyboard, and 2) the combination of the opaque or the composition can not remember the Chinese characters can be found through pronunciation. Disadvantages include: 1) the use of a previously stored font database is inevitable, and 2) additional time after pinyin input (time to move the mouse on the keyboard + time to find the desired character with the mouse + time to return to the keyboard + alpha) If you've had long typing, you can lose more than 10-15 hits per additional hour. 3) It is disadvantageous to Chinese-speaking population who do not know Pinyin, and Chinese who only knows Simplified Chinese, or conversely, when Chinese who only knows Traditional Chinese encounter new letters, it is difficult to input them on the computer.

The advantage of the combination is that 1) the use of the character database is optional, 2) the Chinese characters can be entered as they appear without knowing the Pinyin, and 3) the scientific characteristics of the Chinese characters can be saved. Disadvantages include: 1) the use of special keyboards due to the inadequate use of English keyboard systems, and to the use of scientific features; 3) On the contrary, if you want to use the English keyboard as it is, you must forcibly place the number of copies or shapes in the 26 most used alphabets at the center of the hand when typing, so that the classification to facilitate the combination is uneven or difficult to learn. Will change. 4) Regardless of which input method you use, letters with many strokes or difficult constructions will be difficult to express and will be more than 6-7 strokes. 5) Pinyin, however, does not accurately remember the order of its composition or members, and expresses a different form than the desired letter. (To prevent this, you can use the database to send a warning message about characters that are not in the rotation, but you can't solve them if there are similar characters.)

The following is a basic introduction to the prior art, its commonness, and problems through representative patent cases known to date.

I. Bottled Food (or Tuning fork)

I.1. English notation (e.g. Microsoft IME System): Pinyin of Chinese characters in English gives a representative character. At this time, if the desired letter is not the representative letter, press the search key (right arrow key in the case of IME), and when the search bar comes up with the letters classified according to the hom, enter one of them directly or use the mouse. . If the number of homonym Chinese words exceeds the limit of the search bar (6 in the case of IME), the next page of the search bar should be referred to. To move to the next page, you must press the page navigation buttons (or hand-shaped arrows in the case of IMEs).

I.2. Hangul notation (e.g., Hangah Hangul, Hunminjeongeum): Instead of Pinyin, you can write the Korean intrinsic sound of Hanja, and then press the Hanja conversion key (F9 can be F9). Use the arrow keys or the mouse to choose. If there are more homonyms than the basic limits of the search window, use the scroll bar or the next page button .

I.3. Zhuyin notation: This system is for Chinese people who don't know the Pinyin English notation. The Chinese characters needed for the phonetic notation of Chinese characters are placed on the keyboard. Example: 好 pronunciation is [hao] in English, but Chinese notation is [ ]. (Um) corresponds to the C key (Yo) corresponds to the L key.

I.4. Others: In addition to English notation, Korean notation, and Chinese notation, pronunciation notation can be different for each language such as Japanese, Malaysian, and Russian, but the principle is the same.

The problem of the prior art described above is that it does not solve the case of not knowing the kanji's sound (it should have a combined input method, but it remains unsolved because there is no excellent and convenient copy input method yet), and the search time is the same number Proportional to, interfering with the connectivity of the typing, and causing a delay (the problem is even worse if you include all the homologs for the sound).

Example (for simple letters): Even simple letters such as 石 (shi) must be found in more than 70 homonyms to find the bottled food above. MS IME displays up to 6 characters, so you may have to try 12 search screens to get the character you want. (Search time per search screen (mouse click time + confirmation time) means about 0.5 ~ 1 second, that is, up to 12 seconds of time when the desired letter is on the last screen.) Average time of 3 seconds per letter If this is wasted, assuming that there are 1000 Chinese characters (30 lines per 35 lines) in an A4 sized document, it would take 3000 seconds per page compared to an English document. 3000 seconds is a precious time of nearly one hour.

II. An associated combination

II.1. Lee Kwan-dong Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0011816: In this subcombination formula, the order of subcompositions is important, and a character database and an auxiliary database are essential. If the number of copies determined as the first copy is entered, the second copy candidate among all the Chinese characters created as the first copy is presented to the user. After the user selects it, the third candidate of all Chinese characters created in the first and second copies is presented to the user. Repeat this until you get the letter you want. The number of collateral candidates presented decreases in inverse proportion to the number of collateral series. That is, the number of n side candidates is smaller than the number of n-1 side candidates.

II.2. Eoyun Hyeong Patent Publication No. 2001-0069565: It is a method to display a predetermined number of Chinese characters according to the frequency of use after first inquiring by the number of copies using the frequency of use of Chinese characters and the frequency of use of Chinese characters.

II.3. Patent Publication US 5.790.926 (octal): The system claims that all Chinese characters or copies can be classified into four topological patterns according to the corner shape of the Chinese character. Specify four frame codes according to the pattern, and the number of copies that make up Chinese characters, and four ID codes according to the four patterns, assigning a total of eight numeric numbers to each Chinese character. To do this, the method of coding was devised.

II.4. Patent Publication No. -006943: Similar to the US patent octal input method above, but using 5 patterns instead of 4 patterns and devising a method of coding the basic form of the first two strokes and the last two strokes of a Chinese character.

II.5. US Patent No. 4.684.926 (Oh-philic input method) of the royal horse: A representative copy input method currently used in China. ), And 25 fonts were assigned to each of the 25 keys. The number of copies allocated per key is not constant, at least three and as many as twelve.

II.6. Patent Publication No. US 4.920.492 (Chang-Hil Import Input Method): An indirect input method similar to the Wang Mao Phil method, classifies fonts containing copies and assigns them to a predetermined key and inputs them according to a separate rule.

II.7. Others: The principle of assigning a certain number of copies per key after classifying kanji and subscript fonts into specific rules (total shape, frequency of use, basic stroke shape, corner shape, sequential order, etc.) is the same.

The problem of the prior art described above: The biggest problem with the collateral combination is how to arrange the collateral on the keyboard and how to learn it to the user. Once mastered, you can play as fast as English, the representative incidental royal horse pilgrim method is that it is not suitable for the popular PC age, the general public must be trained for a month or more through a professional course. Another big problem of the incidental combination is that the prior art is narrow in scope to those who are familiar with Chinese characters and those who are familiar with incidental structures. And finally, the conventional system is simple, but it is not convenient to process the characters of unclear combinations of characters, uncertainty of whether or not the number of collaterals, letters with a high number of collateral combinations, etc. Will suffer.

III. Shape combination

III.1. Patent Publication No. 1983-0003768: Chinese characters divided into eight types (horizontal stroke, vertical stroke, braille stroke, oblique stroke, clockwise stroke, counterclockwise stroke, right turn stroke and left turn stroke) Give an equivalent number and enter Chinese characters in the order of stroke.

III.2. Yu Chun Young Patent Publication No. 2003-0055232: The Chinese character is divided into 27 representative sentence forms and placed on 26 alphabet keys, and then the number of copies corresponding to the representative sentence pattern per key is selected.

III.3. Eoyun Hyeong Patent Publication No. 2001-0043294: It is intended to express the Chinese character composition into eight basic strokes (points, horizontal strokes, vertical strokes, hooks, right peep, left peep, right peep, left plow).

III.4. Lee, Hye-Jung's Patent Publication No. 2001-0025673 (octal input method) / 0025723 (24-digit input method): 8 stroke shapes with a small kanji composition ( , Left peep, right peep, translator, Nieunja, 乙), and 24 types were expressed.

III.5. Others: There are no big differences between dividing Chinese characters into a limited number of figure shapes and dividing them into basic strokes. The principle of obtaining the desired Chinese characters by combining these basic strokes directly or indirectly is similar.

The problem of the prior art described above: The biggest problem of the combination of shapes is the number of strokes. The above-described prior art described problem solving mainly on the example of easy letters, it can be said that the invention itself is unrealistic. Not only that, even if it is so easily combined, it proves to be a competitive system at bat. For example, in the case of Lee Hye-jeong's octal method, it takes 10 strokes in kldujkdudu order. In the case of the letter, it takes 10 strokes without being too complicated. More complex In the case of a ruler, it takes more than 20 strokes In the case of Simplified Chinese, graphic combinations have advantages over subcombination combinations, but users can be greatly uncomfortable with what form and order they should combine in addition to high strokes. Also, the more strokes you make, the more mistakes you can make. In the example above, if you make a typo or change the order in kldujkdudu, you will get some unwanted characters.

Focusing on the six features introduced in the preceding summary , the technology to which this invention belongs and the prior art in the field are described.

A) Tens of thousands of Chinese characters can be solved without the help of an already stored database: not only bottled foods but also subsidiary formulas that create Chinese characters through a combination of subsidiary characters are already stored according to the type and order of the input keyboard. Retrieves a character from a database. From the user's point of view, whether or not to use the database does not give a difference in speed that can be felt by the skin. If you ignore the system characteristics of Chinese with regular patterns and scientific configurations and replace them with a database, you will have difficulty in manipulating and handling each character in English, and there is a system vulnerability that requires you to continuously update the database for future registered characters. In addition to subcombination combinations, there are also prototypical combinations, but there are also vulnerabilities that cannot be produced without the database. In the drawing form, the order of input of figures is absolutely important and should be mapped to database according to the inputted contents and order of figures. In this case, it should be remembered that if the user does not know the order of combining letters, completely different letters may appear. The present invention overcomes the problems listed above.

B) Use of the English keyboard system used worldwide: As for the bottled food input method, the English keyboard can be used as it is. Of course, you need to put a helper sticker on the keyboard because it has a different structure from the English alphabet, but unlike some of the incidental input methods, there is no need to use a specially designed keyboard or an increased number of keys. The problem with the incidental input method was to place 214 copies on 26 alphabetic keyboards, and the number of copies assigned to one keyboard is too long for the user to acquire them. It also increases time. The present invention overcomes the problems listed above.

C) introduced a four-way one-touch search bar to solve on the keyboard without the help of a mouse: when using the bottled input method to find the desired letter in the hom group, and when using the combined input method to find the desired letter on the same key, Extra time is allowed. This additional time is called search time here. The additional screen that appears when you search for letters is named Search Bar . Search time is further increased when the mouse must be used. There is also a method of inputting numbers on the keyboard by numbering letters belonging to the group without using a mouse. However, 1) If the number of members in the group exceeds 10, one stroke cannot be processed. Although it can be used every time, the top of the keyboard where the number is located is far from the center of the typing hand. (That is why numbers and symbols were placed there.) 3) A conventional straight search bar takes time to recognize members of the same group at once. The present invention overcomes the problems listed above.

D) For each foreigner or young children who are new to the concept of Chinese characters, each part is classified by shape and the key position is assigned according to the shape. Hand-Eye Coordination depends on how quickly you associate your sight with your hand. The tree coordination on the keyboard refers to the ability of the Chinese character to be seen and the position of the finger moving according to the form. In the current input method, the number of copies or figures is classified by shape, but they are not evenly arranged and the tree coordination function is not properly utilized. In other words, there is no relation between the characteristics of the classified group and the location of the assigned key. For example, in the typographic system of typical figure combinations, the parts of the G key in English (王, 主, 一, 五, ) Have one thing in common, but there is no similarity to the difference between the other groups (the A key, the F key, and the other, etc.). There is no clear relationship between their commonality and their location. The present invention overcomes the problems listed above.

E) Overcoming dissonance with the alphabetic system by arranging parts of speech that are frequently used in Chinese language structure on the keyboard: The alphabetical system is a typical horizontal combination, so that the characteristics of the members input by the user are equal. There is no need to consider. The English keyboard system is designed for this alphabetic structure. Because the parts of speech that are frequently used in the language structure can be input within a few letters, there is no need to place parts of speech on the keyboard regardless of the frequency. This is limited to the alphabetic system language, so if the language of another system wants to use the English keyboard, the key layout should not be the same as the language of the English system. Conventional input technologies forcibly arrange copies or figures on 26 alphabet keys without considering this. This is one of the problems of existing input methods. In order to overcome the dissonance with the Chinese alphabet system, it is necessary to set up the hot key concept. There is a way to save frequently used words in a word operation and save them in shortcut keys and load them when needed. For example, a chemistry student can press the hotkey 1 to bring up the popular Hidrogen. You have to hit seven strokes to hit Hydrogen here. That's six strokes compared to one hitting a shortcut. However, this doesn't have much effect if you have more than 10 shortcuts or the words in the shortcuts aren't used often. If you can't easily figure out which key word you need, you'll be hesitant and faltering. If you're assuming a speed of three strokes per second for a second or two, you'll lose six strokes again. Another problem with hotkey systems is that hotkey assignments often use numbers and modifiers, and the topmost positions with numbers are far from the center of the typing hand, causing the negative effect of delaying typing. The present invention overcomes these challenges.

F) The above-mentioned features provide a great advantage in use in small input devices such as mobile terminals (mobile phones, personal digital assistants, etc.): the number of 26 keys in the typing area is not large, but small In the case of terminals, the number is reduced to 12, which is more difficult. So a system originally designed with keyboards in mind has a problem with overriding members of the system in less space (small terminal keys). Conventional techniques of five-digit, octal, and 24-decimal divisions of figures that make up Chinese characters cannot be naturally matched to nine or twelve numbers. In addition, Eoyun-type system designed for small terminal from the beginning also needs additional keys such as up-down symmetry key, cursor movement key, and formed a hexadecimal system with 7 basic strokes and 2 subsidiary positions. Is less relevant.

First, it can be seen that due to the tree coordination force of the D term of the present invention, a rectangular number plate serving as an input portion of the mobile communication terminal is constitutionally with the present invention.

The main invention of the system solves the problem of the combination and the bottle at the same time.

After considering the above problems, the present invention is intended to solve the problem by dividing it into two cases according to the use object. Nearly all users belong to both cases at the same time, but if you want to know what kind of person you are, you can judge if you feel more uncomfortable in freezing.

A) When you need to recognize visually: You want to know the meaning of Chinese characters that you do not know when you read Chinese newspapers, books and documents. This is caused by not knowing the names of letters (such as Chinese Pinyin). This is because the hieroglyphic system is different from the alphabetic system that can read words without knowing the meaning. Foreigners and young children who are new to Chinese characters immediately fall into this case. Even in the case of Chinese, the younger generation who writes Simplified also encounters a situation where they cannot read traditional texts when they come across old documents. It is also a culture that uses kanji, but if you know the meaning of kanji but don't know the sound, it includes the case where you want to move what you see on the computer. All of these cases are solved through combinations. The present invention has been devised around the problems occurring in the combination. But in the second case, the same principle is presented.

B) If you need to remember: This means writing free or texting on the Internet (email, messages, chat, etc.). At this time, even if you can read Chinese characters, you need to know the composition of Chinese characters. This phenomenon can be seen in China, where illiteracy is relatively high. It is possible to speak and recognize the desired letters among the homophones, but lacks the ability to write directly. In this case, inevitably a bottled food should be introduced, and the principle of the present invention presents a revolutionary function in this bottled food.

The present invention divides a keyboard stroke into a first stroke and a second stroke, and binds the first and second strokes together to form a constant stroke. Note: Considered as one main stroke. After pressing the first stroke, the most representative appearance letter that comes out automatically comes out, so if the desired letter is that letter, it is possible to process the English type. Otherwise, you can select the letters you want with one touch from the 4-way search bar that comes out automatically. Since the second stroke selects one of the five keys, such as E, R, T, G, and H, it can be input at a high speed and thus corresponds to the banta. In addition, assuming that the use of the representative letter occupies more than 10% of the entire sentence, the first and second strokes do not become 1.5 strokes for the mastered batters, so they are practically close to one stroke. have. (Eg Q key Is composed of the first tin q and the second tin h, which can be regarded as one hit.)

The present invention is designed so that all Chinese characters can be combined in five hits. Likewise, in the case of a bottled food, it was designed to find the desired Chinese character within three strokes after entering the pinyin. That is, in the case of English or Chinese Pinyin notation, all the Pinyin can be represented by 2 strokes, so any Chinese character can be found within 5 strokes in total. In the case of Korean note notation, all the notes can be written within three strokes, resulting in a total of six strokes. The intention here is to express all the Chinese characters within 5-6 strokes to compensate for the complexity of the input system's multiple personalities faster than English typing. Multi-personality of the present invention means having both a combination and a bottled food. Complexity is the use of the present invention, even if the user belongs to the case of A, but mainly using the combination formula, if the letter form is vaguely remembered and only the pronunciation knows the letter, it should be solved with the food of the situation in B In the meantime, you should be familiar with the system of moving from this to that method.

If the technical problem to be achieved in the present invention will be described in more detail based on the above two cases,

A) In case of visual recognition: 1) Processing of frequently used parts of speech: The present invention solves the frequently used parts of speech with a single stroke through shortening. Among the parts of speech that are frequently used in English, prepositions (eg, to, for, at, in), personal pronouns (eg, I, you, he), and conjunctions (and, or, as) are resolved within two or three strokes. There is no need to do a quick setup. This technology enables quick conversations on the Internet by shortening parts of speech that can take up to 90% of simple conversation sentences into keys.

Example: 我 想 (I think of you.)

The above article is solved by three hits (less than five) on e-tr-eh. This is much faster than trying to input the same expression in English (11 strokes) or Korean (21 strokes).

2) Coordinated geometrical arrangement process: The biggest problem was how to arrange the number of figures or figures that make up Chinese characters on the input part of the keyboard or small terminal. If you place 214 in 26 English keys, you get an average of 8.02 copies per key. Here, you can use a supplementary key such as SHIFT, so there are 52 places for placing copies. In other words, you can make four to five pieces per shot. But the problem is not here. First, Chinese characters are not designed to be classified evenly in this way. Second, even if they are divided into 26 shape groups, the number 26 is too large for users to recognize by type. Third, even if it is recognized by type, it is easy for a user to learn when it is related to the type and its layout on the keyboard. Thus, the present invention sets a rule that can be understood by the user through a general way of thinking, classifies the copies into eight groups of geometric concepts (see Figure 1), and the positions of those eight groups are directly related to the geometry of the keyboard. The number 8 is suitable for the user to grasp each kind, and the geometric association is the most appropriate way for the user to learn quickly through tree coordination. Where the lower right corner of the Chinese character's geometric shape ( Recalling that there is no shape, you can see why it is not a nine but an eighth group. Copies were based on the 214 copies on the roof, but also included patterns that were in the form of copies and frequently combined but not on the roof. This is because the object of the present invention includes a learner such as a beginner, a foreigner, a student, as well as a knowledge class who knows the existence of a collateral and a combination method thereof, and considers a natural combination solution from their perspective.

Example: 口 口 is not an accessory but a sentence type that does not exist on the roof. However, from the user's point of view, this person is perceived as a collateral by sticking together as a set and acting as a collateral. Since it is often used as an accessory, it is cumbersome to enter the word twice each time this sentence occurs. Therefore, this sentence is included as an incidental part of the system. It plays a role in the following letters that are often used in combinations:

單, 勸, .

It may also be somewhat different from the taxonomy on the roof because it was judged from the natural morphological perspective and function.

Yes: (artillery)

The body parts are classified on the roof by the body parts, but in this system, they are included in the Right Shoulder Group rather than the body group. This is because the vice-groups give space to the letters that are added to the left side of the right column and downwards from the top ceiling. therefore That can come from Looking at the shape of the back, it can be seen that the body group (門, 行, etc.) accepts letters between the two pillars or the ceiling and the floor.

3) Treatment of Negative Numbers: Negative numbers here play the opposite role of minority in terms of function. If the copy adds meaning to a Chinese character, a negative number gives a pronunciation to a Chinese character. Negative numbers are also negative, and sometimes they are used as negative numbers, so it is not necessary to correctly divide the negative and the negative. The first letter you see is which is negative and which is negative (e.g. Cracking in (Seconds) not 子 (child). Reference: silver I don't know exactly. For this reason, it is hard for the user to separate the negative and the secondary concepts and combine them. In addition, there is no room to store more negative numbers than 214 copies. However, negative numbers cannot be excluded at all because negative numbers are not only representative copies, but are used in Chinese characters as often as most copies. Think of negative numbers here as a set-up copy. In order to solve this problem, the present invention selects and arranges negative numbers on the keyboard, and the arrangement method allows the user to find key positions according to the shape of the negative numbers according to the additional geometrical arrangement method.

4) Taxonomy: As it is linguistically, Chinese is a hieroglyphic structure, so it is hard to expect a uniform classification. However, the present invention provides a way of approaching the most natural solution. The ideal classification for using a four-way one-touch search bar that users can see at a glance is to limit the number of group members per key to six. One representative letter and four directions

And the remaining five in the middle form a group. Of course, in some cases it can not fill 6, but the present invention is considered to be the most suitable method for dividing the number of hexagram (六 字) classification. Twenty-one of the 26 keys of the alphabet and one additional key, 22 of which are used for copying, can contain up to 22x2x6 = 264 characters if you include an auxiliary space using SHIFT.

5) Using the English Keyboard: The typing portion of the English keyboard is divided into three sections: the number-symbol section (14), the alphabet section (26), and the sign section (7), starting on the second line of the keyboard. . The SHIFT modifier key is used to display capital letters in English, but Chinese characters are not case sensitive, so you can double the space for letters by using the SHIFT modifier key. In the case of the ALT auxiliary key, it is used in some word processors or utility programs, but in combination with a normal number or a function key of the F series (located at the top of the keyboard), the present invention is used in combination with the alphabet to increase the space. The seven keys in the code zone can be used for combinations because of the Chinese character, which allows for spacing and interrogation without the use of spaces and punctuation.

6) Database Processing: The size of a character database is equal to the total number of Chinese characters. The purpose of a character database is a graphical representation, meaning, and phonetic notation for each character. However, the input system is not obliged to tell the user what the letters mean. And especially with a true combinational input system, a graphical representation can be achieved through a collateral database of 214 copies, so a character database with tens of thousands of characters is meaningless. In Chinese, a combined input system without a database can build tens of thousands of characters each. Of course, a high level of programming technology will be mobilized.

B) When to remember: 1) Handling of frequently used parts of speech: In the case of conventional bottled foods, frequently used parts of speech, like other words that are not frequently used, are entered through long search times. If a search is usually delayed by 10-15 strokes (3-4 seconds), it is a huge loss. This system basically calculates that it can take up to 5 strokes, assuming that it takes up to 3 strokes in search after entering Pinyin on 2 strokes. A maximum of five strokes and an average of four strokes are not very slow compared to the English language. Rather, high-level sentences often use parts of speech with a large number of letters. Therefore, in English, therefore, through, even though, despite that, except that is more than 7-10 strokes.

2) Handling of many homonyms: The problem with bottled foods is, first of all, how to mark the pinyin and then display the homonyms belonging to it. For Korean notation (see I.2), a search window appears, which takes up too much of the typing area of the screen and makes the typing work pause. In English notation (see I.1), there is a search bar that is relatively small compared to the search window, which is one line wide, but smaller and more casual, but exceeding the maximum number of homologs that can be displayed in one bar, There is an inconvenience to move to. Since there are usually more than 10 to 20 homologs per note, this problem is a big problem because it causes serious delays in typing. The present invention limits the number of homophones displayed per note to six so that the four-way one-touch search bar used in case A can be used.

3) Use of English keyboard: Chinese has 21 consonants and 6 basic vowels, so it is appropriate to use English keyboard with 26 keys. In the present invention, it is possible to accommodate a bottle food that can be input all pinyin within two strokes and to input the homonym through a four-way one-touch search bar on the keyboard.

4) Processing of Database: The present invention can avoid the use of character database and Pinyin database in bottled food. Through the combined solution method of the present invention, all Chinese characters can be named in English encoding and can be made of a combination of copies, so that all Chinese characters can be written using a collateral database in which 214 copies are stored. In the existing Pinyin database, more than tens of thousands of Chinese characters are registered, and the corresponding pinyin is written for each character, so that the size of the database is equal to the number of all Chinese characters to be expressed. The system greatly reduced the size of the database by constructing the Pinyin database with the existing Pinyin number regardless of the number of Chinese characters.

Basic composition of the invention

The present invention is configured to use a combination input method and a bottle food input method at the same time. The present invention divides copies into eight groups according to the eight geometric shapes and functions of the shape. This geometry matches the rectangular shape of the keyboard, making it easy to place on the keyboard and easy for the user to learn.

Each of the eight groups has names of Chinese characters in the constituent parts of the body, and the representative form is represented by a black line border indicating the position used as an accessory using a rectangle. (The gray border indicates that it is used in the second position in addition to the original position of the copy)

(左肩), (頭), (右肩), (左腕), (體), (右腕), (脚), (足)

(See Figure 1)

(For keyboard)

The input keys on the keyboard required for the configuration of the present invention are as follows: 1) Chinese / English mode switching special key, or combo key 2) Space bar 3) 33 alphabetic, numeric / symbol, sign keys 4) SHIFT / ALT Auxiliary Key 5) 5 Numeric Keys (0 to 4) on the Numpad (for Clon) 6) ESC Key

If the keyboard does not have a Chinese character conversion special key in 1), it is replaced by a combination key of SHIFT and SPACE type. If you press the combo key in the English mode, you can switch to the Chinese character mode and use the combined input. Press the combo key again to return to English mode. If this is the default setting and you want to change the options, such as bottled food input, keyboard view, simplified mode, etc., Windows sets the initial settings through a separate menu presented by the system to the user. For users who want to use Pinyin and combinations at the same time, the switch key changes the mode each time the key is pressed in the order of English mode → Combination input method → Bottle food input method → English mode. The use of the space bar in 2) moves the cursor to manually tell the computer that the combination of characters has ended and to enter the next character next to it. If you have more than 5 hits or a combination that goes against the rules, it will automatically move to the side and start a new letter. Of the 47 keys in 3), E, R, T, G, and H serve as direction selection keys in the 4-way search bar. In 4), the SHIFT key is used in combination with 47 keys and the ALT key is combined with 33 keys. In 5), 2 to 4 of NUMPAD's numeric keys are intended to represent fonts that duplicate themselves in double, triple or quadruple forms. 1 doubles himself but functions as a body. That means you can insert the next letter in the middle of your body. In 6), ESC key can be used when you want to invalidate after search bar.

(4x3 Rectangular Input Pad for Portable Terminals)

The input keys on the portable terminal required for the configuration of the present invention are as follows: 1) Chinese / English mode switch special key (or select from the selection menu) 2) Right arrow key 3) Nine numeric keys except 0 4) Left Arrow keys and 0. 5) 0 key 6) Left arrow key

The initial setting can be changed through the selection menu in 1). If there is no special Chinese / English mode switching key, select the mode from the menu as well. In 2), the bottom right arrow key serves as a space bar for the keyboard configuration. In 3), even-numbered keys (2, 4, 6, 8) and center keys (5) serve as direction selection keys. In 4), the left arrow key serves as the SHIFT key and 0 serves as the ALT key. With search bar in 5), 0 acts as a clone of the font. With the search bar in 6), the left arrow key serves as the ESC key to invalidate the selected copies.

    Detailed configuration of the invention

The detailed configuration of the input key of the present invention is as follows.

(For keyboard)

Divide into three parts. 1) Content input key 2) Parts of speech input key 3) Direction selection key

1) Content input key is 28 keys except E, R, T, G, H five keys among 33 alphabet / sign keys from Q line to Z line. The content input key is the number of copies in the combination and the alphabet of English in the bottle.

2) E, R, T, G, and H are keys for entering commonly used parts of speech except nouns. The top number / symbol keys also separate the numbers and the most common nouns by theme. The part-of-speech input key does not combine with other characters.

3) E, R, T, G and H simultaneously serve as direction selection keys. This role only works when the search bar is displayed on the screen.

The most important part of the content input keys is the coarse entry key, which uses a total of 22 keys and is arranged according to the coarse geometry. The black border of the quadrangular figure arranged for each key represents the first function of the associated copy, and the gray border represents the second function of the copy.

For example, the heart The shape of the left arm (leg) is first and the heart-shaped foot function is second.

Therefore, the shape to be. (See Figure 2)

1) Content input key: The content input key is largely divided into three parts: subordinate input key, magic input key, special shape input key.

1_A) Copies input key: In the basic mode (no auxiliary key) and the shift mode, a letter serving as a copy is placed. In the Alt mode, at least four negative numbers were placed. (Negative numbers within four strokes must be obtained in combination) The representative of each mode is the most frequent number, and the representative of the basic mode has a higher frequency than the representative of the shift mode.

It is divided into top qwyuiop, suspended asdhjkl, bottom zxcvbnm. And all are 22 keys.

The top (qwyuiop) has seven keys, including the top two corners and the top, except for the direction pawns e, r, t. That is, the eight groups include the dog, head, and right dog groups. Up to 18 characters per key can be used for each 6-character key using the modifier keys of SHIFT and ALT. Each mode within each key is characterized by its detailed shape, and there is an association between one key and a neighbor key, so that the user can easily learn. (See Figure 3A)

The asdhjkl is seven keys, including both the columns and the center of the suspension, excluding g, h, which is the direction pawn. That is, the eight groups include the left arm, the body, and the right arm. Up to 18 characters per key can be used for each 6-character key using the modifier keys of SHIFT and ALT. Each mode within each key is characterized by its detailed shape, and there is an association between one key and a neighbor key, so that the user can easily learn. (See Figure 3b)

The bottom (zxcvbnm.) Is all 8 keys including the bottom left corner and the bottom by adding the sign key (<). That is, the leg and foot groups of eight groups are included. Up to 18 characters per key can be used for each 6-character key using the modifier keys of SHIFT and ALT. Each mode within each key is characterized by its detailed shape, and there is an association between one key and a neighbor key, so that the user can easily learn. (See Figure 3c)

1_B) Magic Input Key: The Magic Input Key is located at the top left of the keyboard. After combining the number or letters of the center shape as a key and pressing the corresponding key according to the number of points or strokes, the system automatically selects the position and combines the points or strokes with the letter of the center shape. This is possible without a database because the position where the dot is taken for each character type is wrong and the combination position is determined by regular rules.

1_C) Special Shape Input Keys: The special type input keys can only use 3 or 6 of the 6 sign keys. The special form key is a section created to map Chinese characters whose composition is not obvious. Special types of letters are not frequently used and their total number is few, but they can be easily solved using this special type input key.

2_A) Part-of-speech input key (direction select key): Part-of-speech input key is the most frequent part-of-speech key in each field, and accommodates both parts as well as terminals. Parts of speech are placed on the keyboard by positions commonly used in sentences (eg, conjunctions-pronouns-adverbs-verbs-interjections), and the parts of the parts are placed into conjunctions, tense adverbs, pronouns (personality, questions, instructions), indefinite adverbs, and pronouns (介詞: equivalent to prepositions in Korean), verbs, investigations, interjections, and onomatopoes, which helped the quick organization of letters. (See FIG. 3D)

2_B) Part-of-speech input keys (numeric keys): Helps users learn quickly by dividing frequently used noun-oriented parts of speech into themes (eg, zodiac, direction, space-time, etc.). Custom corners were also created to allow users to shorten frequently used words. (See Figure 3E)

(4x3 Rectangular Input Pad for Portable Terminals)

Divide into three parts. 1) Content input key 2) Parts of speech input key 3) Direction selection key

1) The content input key is 9 numeric keys from 1 to 9. The content input key is the number of copies in the combination and the alphabet of English in the bottle.

2) E, R, T, G, and H are keys for entering commonly used parts of speech except nouns. The part-of-speech input key does not combine with other characters.

3) E, R, T, G and H simultaneously serve as direction selection keys. This role only works when the search bar is displayed on the screen.

The geometric arrangement of the content entry keys and the five direction selection key arrangements are possible on the 4 × 3 rectangular input pad. Each corner is coincident with the corner of the keyboard, but the other parts are duplicated. However, this problem can be used once again by using the four-way search bar to display and select duplicate keys. The 4x3 rectangular input pad can be added one more than the keyboard.

(See Figures 4A, 4B)

    Invention

The overall operation of the present invention is as follows and will be described in more detail in each case.

The present invention is designed to input Chinese characters during typing, without stopping, and using only the keyboard, and the input time is designed to be up to 5 hits per character. Using a special classification method, it is possible to use up to six groups per combination in a combination or bottled food, enabling the use of four-way search bars.The four-way one-touch search bar is implemented on the keyboard, eliminating the need for using a mouse. You can search and make choices.

(Combination Input Method)

In this case, you want to move the visible Chinese characters on the computer. The user only needs to pay attention to the following two rules.

Rule # 1: Enter the number of copies in the order from top left to bottom right.

Rule # 2: If you have a separable or set shape, look for a set subunit.

In the case of letters, to show how users can handle them

i) Enter the number of representative copies: If the desired letter is the representative copy number (木, 心, 水, 人, 土, 足, etc.), it is entered in one stroke. Representative copies are mainly selected as the most frequently used copies and are displayed as text immediately when the assigned key is pressed. As a side note, the frequency of use may be high, but the frequency of use in languages may be low. (Yes: Etc)

ii) Part of speech: There are 90 parts of speech on the five keys E, R, T, G, and H except for nouns. Partial combination forms of parts here are relatively simple and can be combined within 3 to 4 hits, so users who are not familiar with Chinese literature can get parts of speech in combination.

iii) Input of easy-to-combine letters: Letters that make it easy to distinguish between copies and copies. These letters are entered first by the user in order of copies according to the first rule.

Example 1: 渭 (top) is the number of copies seen from the left in accordance with the first rule Enter the characters first, followed by the 田 and 月 characters from top to bottom.

Example 2: 매 (hawk) is the number of copies seen from the left according to the first rule Enter characters first and then top to bottom Now, Tadaza, and Enter the characters in order. (According to the orthodox stroke order The ruler belongs to the underlay group and is used last, but respects the first rule that fits the user's general mindset.)

Example 3: 연 (year) is the above end Since we are hitting the upper left corner first After entering the characters, enter 車.

iv) Input of characters that appear to have a large number of combinations: It is a time when a large number of members of a character appear. If you are not familiar with Chinese characters, you may want to combine complex copies such as 부, 鼻, 齊. These copies can be combined within 3 to 5 hits, but once you have a doubt, look for them in the key layout and get used to the complex numbers and negative numbers. After grasping the set number of copies through the second rule, the position of the keyboard can be easily found by the shape.

v) Entering letters with duplicate fonts: If any of the fonts are duplicates, use the numbers on the number pad. 1,2 means double, 3 means triple, 4 means quad. 1 and 4 have a body function that accepts the next letter inward.

Example 1: Type 3 for the item and press 3.

Example 2: 林 enters the wooden characters and press 2.

Example 3: at 藥 After entering your characters, Enter 1 followed by 1 followed by 白. And finally, enter 木.

Example 4: 器 enters 口 followed by 4, followed by 大.

vi) Entry of letters with lots of strokes and strokes: The shape of the center of a letter is a case where you may need to combine the number of points, strokes, and strokes that you are familiar with. In this case, enter the center shape of the letter, count the number of points or strokes, press the corresponding magic key, and the system will determine the position and make the points and strokes in place.

vii) Input of difficult-to-combine characters: it is difficult to distinguish between copies and copies, and form a whole connected shape. It is a letter that is not frequently used, and it is also difficult for an intellectual who knows the substructure. Since these letters are prime numbers (less than 20-30), you can learn them separately by referring to the help of this system.

(Bottle food input method)

In this case, you want to move a Chinese character that reminds you of the sound but does not remember the exact subcombination form or order. The system is based on the Ita bottled food, which can enter Pinyin within two strokes of the best English notation bottled foods in existence.

i) If the number of homonyms is less than five: After writing the sound of the desired letter, if there are less than five homonyms, write five homonyms directly on the four-way search bar.

ii) If there are less than 5 homophones: After the desired letter is written, if there are more than 5 related homophones but less than 5 homophones, the negative numbers should be written on the 4-way search bar. After that, get the combination of letters you want, or find the number of copies in the next four-way search bar.

iii) If there are 5 or more equal numbers: Press the center, the next screen movement key on the 4-way search bar, and select the formula to find on the next screen. Not many notes have five or more equal numbers, and even so, the search screen rarely needs to go up to three or more.

The present invention is conceptually different from other input systems in that it fundamentally solves the difficulty of inputting Korean. The difference is prominent in the effects of the invention.

1) All cases and all subjects: The subjects include not only the mainland Chinese who use Simplified Chinese, but also elderly people who are familiar with traditional Chinese, Chinese speakers of Oriental culture outside China, foreigners who are new to Chinese, and students. Using the breakthrough principle of this system, the combination input method as well as the bottled food input method has a great effect, so the user can use the bottled food and the combination meal as needed.

2) Speed input: All Chinese characters can be entered within 5 hits, and the key layout is scientific and natural, so the slow typing speed (10-15 strokes) of the conventional combinational input method is complicated, Overcome the slow search speed of key composition and bottle typing.

3) Shortcut input: By setting the part of speech frequently used on the keyboard by default, it is possible to compensate for the slow input speed, which is a chronic weakness of the Korean language on the English keyboard. Rather, considering the implications of Chinese sentences and considering the use of parts of speech that are input within two strokes, they can be entered faster than English sentences of the same meaning.

4) Functional effect: In order to create an optimal typing environment, a system with a key layout considering the ergonomics without using a mouse was constructed. In addition to the initial setting, there is no need to use the mouse during typing, so typing is not delayed. Instead of a search window with dozens of letters or a search bar, the four-way search bar offers a selection menu that can be seen at a glance to reduce eye fatigue.

5) Innovation of the system: The present invention makes full use of the scientific characteristics of the Chinese language, so that the character representation and the pinyin of the character can be obtained without using a character database. This is a great advantage in terms of programming design, which will allow for the construction of a cybernetic dictionary in the future. This can also provide systematic preparation for disappearing Chinese characters, emerging Chinese characters, and new simplified characters.

6) Comprehensive effect of fundamental solution: The biggest advantage of fundamentally solving a problem is the comprehensive effect of wider application radius. First, the shape of the Chinese characters is applied to the geometric arrangement, so that the concept of the rectangle of the input area, which is common to the basic input devices, can be applied to the maximum. Therefore, it can be used in small input devices such as mobile phones in addition to PC keyboards. In addition, the shortened input concept enables the efficient use of Chinese in chatting and sending messages that require a message to be delivered to the other party in a short time. As a result, through this invention, there is no competition in the information age, and it becomes an inferior language, and the opportunity to change Chinese perception into a scientific and competitive language is formed.
