Description

507137 V. Description of the invention (1) The present invention provides a Chinese vocabulary input method, especially a Chinese vocabulary input method that can increase the speed of Chinese input.

In the conventional Chinese vocabulary input method, the user must input the phonetic pinyin of each word in the vocabulary through the keyboard. Common phonetic pinyin includes phonetic symbols or Roman pinyin. For example, when using the Zhuyin symbol to input “Chinese and Chinese nations”, the user must enter “Shi 乂 厶”, “Factory 乂 aya /”, “Door 4〆”, and “卩 乂 /” in order. Since the same phonetic pinyin can correspond to different characters, for example, "wormworm" can correspond to different characters such as "medium", "final", "bell", etc., the user must also choose appropriate text. Similarly, when using "Roman Pinyin" to input "Chinese nation", the user must enter "z h ο n g", "h u a", "m i n", and "z u" sequentially. Because the same phonetic pinyin can correspond to different characters, such as "zhong" can correspond to different characters such as "middle", "final", and "bell", the user must still choose the appropriate text. In the traditional Chinese vocabulary input method, since the user must completely input the phonetic pinyin of each text and select the appropriate text, the user presses the 鐽 many times and reduces the speed of Chinese input.

In addition, in the Chinese input method used in the known Chinese handwriting input recognition system, each character to be input must be written, and the writing and recognition process of each character requires a certain time, and such a Chinese handwriting input recognition system To occupy a considerable amount of memory space, this will not only increase the cost, but also increase the recognition speed and recognition rate of the recognition system as the number of words in the vocabulary increases.
