Description of the invention (/) Background of the invention The invention relates to a device for analyzing text, which is used to input Chinese or Japanese characters into electronic storage. , Select, and send the device. The Chinese writing language is a language of symbols, not letters, and contains thousands of words. Each word can represent a word or part of a word, and many different stroke systems are used to write the words. 〇 It would be impractical to provide a keyboard with keys representing all strokes. The present invention uses the classification of all pens into five different groups, each group is characterized by the size, shape, and direction of the strokes written. Each text has a number of formal strokes associated with it. In order to improve the uniformity of the shape of the text among different writers, and to increase the convenience and fluency of writing, the strokes are added in a specific order that is well known to Chinese educators. Known technology Some Chinese word processors, for example, use a digital pad as their input, and the operator must write the text one character at a time on the pad. Considerable skill is required to use such devices, and in addition to the processing device, another device is necessary. Some Chinese word processing computers require the operator to mentally disassemble a text into a phoneme or a series of phonemes selected from the thirty-seven phonemes indicated on the surface of the keyboard. The phoneme sequence is entered through the keyboard, and the soft system displays all the text that the phoneme sequence can be applied to on the display screen. In addition, although the meaning of each text is fixed, 4 paper sizes are applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back page first)-binding. Order-line 511039 A7 ________ Β7 5 Inventive Note (V), but its pronunciation may change due to regional dialects, which limits the system to users who have speech software available for a particular dialect. In my previous invention entitled "Symbol Recognition Device" in Taiwan Patent Application No. 77106354 dated October 1, 1989, I described a method that specifically classifies all Chinese pens into eight categories, each category representing a group Device for classifying Chinese character stroke types for Chinese character writing. These categories include: points; four simple unidirectional strokes, horizontal, vertical, skimming, and 捺; and three multi-directional strokes skimming, horizontal folding, and vertical folding, thus including an angle or a turn . The operator is required to mentally classify all of the turning strokes into their respective categories. Although only eight stroke input keys, plus input and processing keys are needed, advances in technology and reduction in size of computing devices require a minimum number of keys to make each key ergonomically acceptable size. It has been found that the average number of key strokes required to take a text to the screen is 2.9. Although this number is quite small, it is desirable to use fewer key strokes, especially in portable devices. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to alleviate the problems described above, and to provide a text-defining device that will be easy to use and use, and is intuitive for Chinese educators, and is compatible with current and future portable devices The need for miniaturization. Under the consideration of the previous and other objectives, the present invention encompasses the text-defining device used in the power supply sub-device.
