Description

Chinese character input method and system using pinyin input method {METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INPUTTING UNKNOWN CHINESE CHARACTERS WITH PINYIN INPUT METHODS}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to Chinese characters input, and more particularly, to a method and system for allowing a user to input Chinese characters unknown to the electronic device by using pinyin input. It enhances the function of the law and helps the user to improve the input experience when entering Chinese characters.

Pinyin is the alphabetic sign of kanji pronunciation. Pinyin input method is when a user inputs Chinese characters into an electronic device (eg, a personal computer (PC), a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, etc.) having a Jamo keyboard. It is one of the frequently used methods. However, in order to input a Chinese character using Pinyin input method, the user must know the Chinese character (ie, Pinyin) of the Chinese character. If the user does not know the reading of the Chinese character, the input should be performed by using alternative Chinese character input method. For the user, these alternative input methods are very difficult to learn and difficult to use. In addition, the conversion between different input methods causes the user to experience an unpleasant experience.

Alternative methods for inputting kanji characters that are not commonly used in the present study include a five-letter type input method, a stroke input method, and a handwriting input method. According to these methods, the user can generally use them only after being familiar with the order of the elements or strokes of the corresponding Chinese characters based on the structure of the Chinese characters. In addition, the misspelled input method requires the user to remember a basic set of code elements, and such learning cost is very high. Although the stroke input method is relatively simple compared to the misspelled input method, it still requires the user to remember the stroke order of the Chinese characters, which greatly reduces the input speed. Although the handwriting method does not have the above-mentioned limitations, it requires special conditions for hardware arrangement and device performance. For example, the writing system of a mobile device requires the device to have a touch screen and a touch pen. In addition, it is generally difficult to "draw" Chinese characters with a mouse, which results in undesirable user experience when using a mouse click-based writing system (typically in a situation where a PC or laptop computer is used).

Therefore, there is a need to provide a new method for inputting Chinese characters, which should be able to input Chinese characters using Pinyin input method even if the user does not know Chinese character reading, and avoid conversion between different input methods. The present invention is submitted in accordance with the above problem.

According to the first embodiment of the present invention, a self-reading of a Chinese character who does not know the toxin is input, and the self-contained solo consists of the sounds of each component or a partial component constituting the Chinese character, The present invention provides a method for inputting a Chinese character which does not know the reading using the pinyin input method, which includes searching and detecting a corresponding Chinese character and outputting the Chinese character.

According to the second embodiment of the present invention, an input device consisting of a single character of a Chinese character which does not know the single character of the character, and the magnetic character sound is composed of each component or partial component of the Chinese character. Provided is a search apparatus for searching for a corresponding Chinese character and an output apparatus for outputting the Chinese character.

According to another embodiment, the method of the present invention further outputs the readings of Chinese characters that do not know the readings to facilitate the user's learning.

According to the input method of the present invention, when a user encounters a Chinese character that does not know the reading, there is no necessity of converting to another input method. In addition, the technical scheme of the present invention can be realized in any electronic device that supports the Pinyin input method as a natural extension of the general Pinyin input method.

The following describes the present invention in combination with the drawings.

1 is a block diagram of an input system 100 of a Chinese character which does not know the reading according to the present invention. As shown, the system 100 includes an input device 101, a search device 102, and an output device 104, and also operates in conjunction with the work of the system 100. 103 and an indicator 105 are provided.

"는 많은 사용자가 독음을 모르는 한자이다. 한자는 "大", "力"의 두 성분으로 이루어지지만, 각 성분의 독음은 "da" 및 "li"로 알려져 있다. 한자 "

"의 자형 독음은 예를 들어 "da_li" 또는 "da-li"가 될 수 있다. 각 성분의 병음 사이에 임의의 연결 부호를 사용하여 연결하거나 연결 부호를 사용하지 않을 수 있다(예, "dali"). 또한 자형 독음은 한자의 구조를 설명할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 한자 "

"는 상하 구조이기 때문에, 그 자형 독음은 "shang_da_xia_li" 또는 "shang-da-xia-li"로 설명할 수 있다. 더 간단하게는 "UdaLli"로 묘사할 수 있는데, 여기서 U는 "상(shang)", L은 "하(xia)"를 표시한다. 한자의 전형적 구조는 예를 들어 상하(上下) 구조, 좌우(左右) 구조, 내외(內外) 구조 등이 될 수 있다. 이러한 구조를 가지는 한자의 자형 독음은 유사하게 설명될 수 있다. 이외에, 다수의 동일 성분을 포함한 한자(예, "

")는, 자형 독음을 성분의 중복 횟수로 설명할 수 있는데, 예를 들어 "san_shui" 또는 "3_shui"로 표시할 수 있고, 여기서 san은 三의 독음이고, shui는 水의 독음이다.2 is a flow chart 200 illustrating the operation of the system 100. As shown in FIG. 2, first, in step S1, the input device 101 inputs a Chinese-style reading of a Chinese character that does not know the reading. A child reading consists of the sound of each component or partial component which forms a Chinese character. For example, the kanji "

"Is a Chinese character that many users don't know. Chinese character consists of two components," 大 "and" 力 ", but each component's sound is known as" da "and" li ".

The self-sounding of "may be, for example," da_li "or" da-li ". The link between any pinyin of each component may be used with or without a link (eg," dali "). "). Also, the shape reading can explain the structure of Chinese character. For example, Chinese character"

Since "is a vertical structure, its shape can be described as" shang_da_xia_li "or" shang-da-xia-li ". More simply, it can be described as" UdaLli ", where U is" shang ". ) ", L represents" xia ". Typical structures of Chinese characters may be, for example, upper and lower structures, left and right structures, internal and external structures, and the like. Chinese-style readings of Chinese characters can be described similarly. In addition, Chinese characters containing a number of identical components (eg, "

") Can be described as the number of overlapping of a component sound, for example, it can be expressed as" san_shui "or" 3_shui ", where san is the third sound and shui is the sound of water.

"(독음 ji)는 그 자형 독음을 "zhan_X"로 할 수 있는데, 여기서 zhan은 占의 독음이다. 또는, 그 구조특징을 묘사한다면, 자형 독음은 "zuo-zhan-you-X" 또는 "LzhanRX"이고, 여기서, zuo는 左의 독음이고, you는 右의 독음이며, L은 "좌(左)"를 표시하고, R은 "우(右)"를 표시한다.If you do not know the readings of any one or more of the Chinese characters, these readings can be represented using X or other symbols. For example, the kanji "

"(Ji) can be called" zhan_X "in its shape, where zhan is the ox, or, when describing its structural features, it is" zuo-zhan-you-X "or" LzhanRX. Where zuo is the solo sound of 左, you are the solo sound of 右, L denotes "left" and R denotes "right".

")를 값으로 한다. 동일하게, 검색표 중 한자의 자형 독음은 구조특징을 포함할 수 있다. 예를 들어 한자 "

"는 "shang-da-xia-li"를 사용하여 인덱싱한다. 또한, 동일 한자는 다수의 키워드를 통해 인덱싱하여 사용자가 사용하기에 편리하게 한다. 예를 들어, 한자 "

"에 대해서는 "ren_gong" 및 "shang_ren_xia_gong"의 두 가지 인덱싱을 할 수 있는데, 여기서 ren은 人의 독음이고, gong은 工의 독음이다. 따라서, 사용자가 어떠한 종류의 자형 독음을 사용하든지 모두 대응 한자를 찾을 수 있다. 임의의 실시예에서는, 선택적으로 검색표에 상기 한자의 독음, 예를 들어 "hang(

)"을 포함할 수 있다. 다음 표 1은 자형 독음 검색표의 일 예를 보인다.Then, in step S2, the search apparatus 102 detects the corresponding Chinese character by searching the predefined Chinese character database 103 according to the female character. The shaped reading database 103 stores the lookup table of the chords defined in advance. The lookup table is, for example, a hash table and indexes the kanji with no reading as a data structure suitable for fast detection. For example, a hash table is a keyword of a kanji character (eg, "da_li") that does not know the rhyme, and the corresponding kanji (eg, "

Equal to "." Similarly, the kanji reading in the search table may include structural features. For example, "

"Is indexed using" shang-da-xia-li ". Also, the same kanji is indexed through multiple keywords, making it convenient for the user. For example, kanji"

For "," there are two indexings, "ren_gong" and "shang_ren_xia_gong", where ren is the human sound and gong is the sound of the work. Therefore, whatever type of self-contained sound you use, In some embodiments, the search table may optionally include a reading of the Chinese character, for example, "hang".

"(독음 ji)는 "zhan_X"를 사용하여 인덱싱할 수 있다.As described above, if one or more component readings of the Chinese character are not known, the partial readings of the search table may be displayed using X or another code so as to correspond to them. For example, the kanji "

"(Reading ji) can be indexed using" zhan_X ".

"는 간단히 "zhan"을 사용하여 인덱싱할 수 있다. 이 경우 사용자는 "zhan"을 입력함으로써 자형 독음 데이터베이스(103)에 대해 퍼지(fuzzy) 검색을 진행한다. 이 상황에서 검색표 중 성분의 독음 "zhan"을 포함하는 다수의 결과(한자)를 검출할 수 있다. 그 결과는 모두 표시기(105)에 출력되고, 사용자는 이 중에서 필요한 한자를 선택한다. 또는, 임의의 규칙에 따라 먼저 한자의 배열을 진행한 다음 표시기(105)에 출력함으로써, 목표 한자가 가능한 앞에 배열되게 함으로써, 사용자가 편리하게 선택하도록 하여 사용자 체험을 향상시킨다.Alternatively, a component that does not know the toxin may not be included in the indexing keyword of the corresponding Chinese character. For example, the kanji "

Can simply be indexed using "zhan". In this case, the user will enter a "fuzzy" search for the self-sounding database 103 by typing "zhan". A plurality of results (kanji) can be detected, including "zhan." The results are all output to the display 105, and the user selects the required kanji from among them, or, first, according to an arbitrary rule. By proceeding with the arrangement and outputting to the display 105, the target kanji is arranged as close as possible, thereby allowing the user to conveniently select and improve the user experience.

)를 표시할 뿐만 아니라, 그 독음 "hang"도 표시한다. 이렇게 하여 사용자는 한자의 독음을 동시에 학습할 수 있다. 사용자가 생소한 한자의 독음을 학습하면 다음 입력 시 직접 그 독음을 입력할 수 있으므로, 일반 병음입력법에 따라 대응 한자를 찾을 수 있다.The search result is returned to the output device 104 and transmitted. In step S3, the output device 104 outputs the detected Chinese character to the display 105. Optionally, when the Chinese character reading table includes the Chinese character reading, the output device 104 further outputs the corresponding character reading to the indicator 105 (step S4). In the example shown in FIG.

), As well as its solo "hang." In this way, the user can simultaneously study the reading of the Chinese character. If the user learns the kanji of the unfamiliar kanji, the next phonon can be input directly, so that the corresponding kanji can be found according to the general pinyin input method.

As described above, in operation S2, the search apparatus 102 may detect the Chinese characters corresponding to the plurality of input female readings from the female reading database 103. In this case, the output device 104 outputs all the results, and in step S5, the user can select the required Chinese character by using the selection device 106.

The Chinese character input method which does not know the toxin of the present invention can be used alone or can be realized by the natural extension of the conventional conventional Pinyin input method. Two examples are given below.

3 shows a first embodiment in which the system 100 and the general Pinyin input method of the present invention operate in combination. In the present embodiment, the system 100 further includes a conversion device 301 for converting from the general pinyin input method to the method of the present invention when the user encounters a kanji that does not know the tonic. In one embodiment, the conversion device 301 may be any combination key, for example "ALT + CTRL + U". When the user uses the common Pinyin input method, if the user encounters a kanji that does not know the toxin, the user can change the input mode of the present invention by pressing "ALT + CTRL + U" to find the corresponding kanji by inputting the kanji-like reading Can be.

"의 자형 독음 "da li"를 입력할 때 검색 장치(102')는 자형 독음 데이터베이스(103)을 검색할 뿐만 아니라 동시에 일반 병음 데이터베이스(401)도 검색한다. 일반 병음 데이터베이스(401)에 독음을 가지는 통상의 공지된 한자를 저장하는데, 예를 들어 "大", "力"을 저장한다. 따라서 출력 장치(104')는 자형 독음 데이터베이스(103)으로부터 검색된 생소한 글자 "

"를 검출할 뿐만 아니라, 일반 병음 데이터베이스(401)으로부터 검출된 한자 조합 "大力", "大理" 등을 출력한다. 모든 이러한 출력 결과는 모두 표시기(105) 상에 표시된다. 상술한 상황에서 시스템(100)은 선택 장치(402)를 더 포함한다. 사용자는 선택 장치(402)를 이용하여 출력 결과로부터 필요한 한자를 선택하고 그 독음을 학습한다. 다른 실시예에 따라, 자형 독음 데이터베이스(103)으로부터의 출력결과와 일반 병음 데이터베이스(401)으로부터의 출력결과를 상이한 색을 사용하여 표시하거나 상이한 행에 표시하여 사용자가 편리하게 선택하게 한다.4 shows a second embodiment in which the system 100 and the general Pinyin input method of the present invention operate in combination. In this embodiment, the input mode of the present invention proceeds in parallel with the general Pinyin input method. For example, input device 101 may be a Chinese character ".

When inputting "-like li" of "da li", the search device 102 'not only searches the singular-sounding database 103 but also searches the general Pinyin database 401. The branch stores a conventionally known Chinese character, for example, "大", "力", so that the output device 104 'is an unfamiliar letter "retrieved from the shaped reading database 103.

In addition to detecting ", the Chinese characters combination " 大 力 "," 大理 " detected from the general Pinyin database 401 are output. All these output results are displayed on the indicator 105. In the above-described situation, the system 100 further includes a selection device 402. The user selects the required Chinese characters from the output result using the selection device 402. According to another embodiment, the shaped reading database 103 is provided. The output from and the output from the general Pinyin database 401 are displayed using different colors or displayed in different rows for convenient selection by the user.

As described above, the present invention provides a technical method for inputting a kanji character that does not know the toxin by using a general pinyin input method, and when the user encounters a kanji character that does not know the phonology as other input method (eg, misspelled input method) Eliminate the need to convert This method is a natural extension of the general conventional Pinyin input method, so that the user does not need to learn a new input method while maintaining the convenience of the Pinyin input method.

The Chinese character input method according to the present invention can be realized in an electronic device supporting an arbitrary pinyin input method and does not need special hardware support such as other input methods (eg, handwriting input).

In addition, according to the same principle, the input method of the present invention can be applied to Korean or Japanese input based on the reading, thereby solving the problem of inputting a character not knowing the reading.

The present invention can be realized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential features thereof. For example, the algorithm described in a particular embodiment may be modified but the system structure architecture never deviates from the basic technical spirit of the present invention. Accordingly, the present embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being defined by the claims rather than the foregoing description, and the full modifications within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents All are included in the scope of the present invention.
