Abstract

The invention discloses a Chinese text input method and system, and provides a database intelligent sequencing method and a mobile phone fast data search function. The invention is characterized in that the user only inputs the particular English spelling character string of Chinese text to be inputted. Then, the user picks up the desirable input of Chinese text from at least one Chinese text identical to all corresponding English spelling character strings and the particular English spelling character string. The English alphabet count contained in the English spelling character string is not more than the Chinese character count contained in Chinese text and all English alphabets in English spelling character string sequentially map the first Chinese character in Chinese text to each Chinese character integrating Chinese text. Meanwhile, any English alphabet maps the first alphabet of corresponding English spelling of Chinese character. As each Chinese character only needs the input of the first alphabet of English spelling, the method is particularly adapted to mobile phone with standard keyboard defined by CCITT.

5 ~ 1 Fields of Invention · System 'and related telephones to quickly search for products of Yipu data and query capital. There is a method for inputting Chinese words and a method for intelligently sorting the poor supply bank and providing mobile materials. Functions of the system and other applications. 5-2 Background of the Invention:

Ik's work on computers, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones, and how to allow users to conveniently and effectively perform input functions, have naturally become important issues. For users of pinyin text such as Xi 4 t, 'because the conventional keyboard (such as the 101 standard keyboard or the 104 standard keyboard) already contains the keys of all letters: so the turn-in process only needs to spell out the characters directly. There will be no problems. In contrast, when mobile phones and other products cannot be used with conventional keyboards due to their reduced size, the standard keyboards developed by the Consultative Committee in International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT) are commonly used. As shown in the diagram in the first figure, the control panel basically includes a C C I T T standard keyboard 11, control keys (S 0 F T) 1, 2, shift keys 1, 3, display screen 14, and antenna 15. The CC I TT standard keyboard includes the following 12 symbol keys: π Γ ,, " 2ABCn ,,, 3DEF ", n 4GHI1 丨, 丨 丨 5 JKL1 ,,, 丨 7PQRS ,,,, 520592 5. Description of the invention ( 2) 丨 '8TUV 丨 ,, 丨 丨 9WXYZn, 丨 1 氺 1 丨, 丨 丨 0 丨', 丨 丨 #, Obviously, when the user wants to enter a specific number, he only needs to print the number printed with that number. Press the symbol key once; if you want to enter a specific letter, just find the symbol key printed with the letter and follow the order of the letter on the volt key, and press the symbol key continuously for the corresponding number of times. Yes, in other words, the CC I TT standard keyboard 1 1 can be used not only for entering phone numbers but also for entering English messages (as long as the symbol key is pressed a few times), where the number / letter on each symbol key is returned This method appears, so users on mobile phones can still enter data smoothly. However, for the box text used in the Chinese market, the input of data is always a problem. As for the standard 101 keyboard used by computers or the like, 1 0 4 standard keyboard and In other words, although input methods such as Zhuyin, Cangjie, Dayi, English, No shrimp, Lenovo, Wubi, etc. have been proposed and applied, there is still no input method that can fully take into account input convenience and input efficiency, so Chinese input methods are still a development Field, especially for mobile phones and other devices that cannot use the standard 101 keyboard or standard 104 keyboard, because there are not many keys that can be used, how to implement Chinese input has become an extension of the mobile phone in the Chinese market, etc. Important factors of the product. Taking the most common _CC I TT standard keyboard as an example, when a user wants to enter a word π ”using the pinyin method commonly used in Taiwan, he must first enter shang (s,` `7PQRS” Key five times in a row; h, n 4GHIn key must be pressed

Page 6 520592 V. Description of the invention (3) Move twice; a, " 2 AB C " key is pressed twice in a row; η, π 6 Μ η 〇 " key is pressed twice in a row; g, " Press the 4GH Γ key twice in a row ”) and press different keys for a total of fourteen times, and then press the key twice in order to enter wang (w, n 9WXYZ1, the key is pressed twice in a row; a, n2ABCn key is pressed twice in a row; η, " 6ΜΝ0Π Press the key three times in a row; g, " 4GH '' key twice in a row, and press a different key nine times in total, which requires a total of twenty-one key presses, which is rather inconvenient. Even some mobile phones can display English letters first and then digits in the Chinese input mode, which can save some key presses (each English letter can save once); or some mobile phones provide a smart selection function. After entering the first word, the possible words will be provided directly from the database to save the user the trouble of entering other words. For example, after typing "on", you can choose to display something like π Words such as noodle, class, special, sea, grade ... π are available for users to choose corresponding words, but the user still has to press the key multiple times to complete the rotation. The phone book not only has to input complete characters or English words when searching for information, so that users must go through more complicated jzheng, "", medium code (such as inside again, because of the inconvenience of Chinese input, so In mobile phones and other products, the input and output of data and the storage and storage of data in the database are often inconvenient for users. For example, the general mobile phone's 馐 广 nhnn a honkΑ 嫂 一 杳 姐 α *, , ≫ ^ Luo recognition, 丄 丄. ^ Shima) according to their order, so users of different languages use different sorting and searching. Words or English words, it is necessary to go through more tedious input, and the information in the business card book is usually sorted according to character encoding (such as Wang Xu, can not be used when using

520592 V. Description of the invention (4) type database, especially for mobile phones and other products without the 101 keyboard or 104 keyboard, etc., because of the inconvenience of Chinese input, it will make User efficiency deteriorates. For example, when the data in the database is sorted (especially the index that the user is querying) is based on Chinese internal codes and the input method used by the user is Roman Pinyin, because the sort order of the two is different, the user is typing What you see after grouping pinyin is the specific word corresponding to this pinyin and the word adjacent to this specific word in Chinese internal code order, not this specific word and this specific word in Roman phonetic order Words adjacent to the words obviously increase the difficulty of the user, especially when the user wants to test whether the Romanized phonetic alphabet is correct. Based on the above, it can be seen how to make users, especially mobile phones and other users who do not use the 101 standard keyboard or 104 standard keyboard, a more convenient and user-friendly method of inputting Chinese characters and words. System is a major research topic in the industry. Especially for the increasingly popular mobile phones in recent years, how to provide users with a fast way to search for data is an area of great business opportunities. 5-3 Purpose and Summary of the Invention: In view of the above background of the invention, the main purpose of the present invention is to propose a method and system for inputting words in a simplified input program.

520592 V. Description of the invention (5) Another object of the present invention is to propose a Chinese character word input method and system that can improve the input efficiency of the CC I TT standard keyboard. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for intelligently sorting a database, so that a user can search for data according to the input method without being limited to the sorting method in the database. The object of the present invention is also to provide a method for the user to quickly search the database, so that the user can select the required data from some data corresponding to these keys by only pressing a few keys. < 1 The object of the present invention is also to propose a system which can provide a function of quickly searching information on a mobile phone. According to the above objects, the present invention provides a Chinese character word input method, which includes at least the following steps: a user inputs an English pinyin string corresponding to the Chinese word to a machine, wherein the number of English letters contained in the English pinyin string Is the same as the number of Chinese characters in the Chinese word, and each English letter in the English Pinyin string corresponds to the Chinese characters that make up the Chinese word in order from the first Chinese character of the Chinese word, An English word Φ is the first letter corresponding to the English pinyin of the Chinese character; the root of this machine. According to the data on the relationship between most pen Chinese characters and English pinyin strings in a Chinese word database, find this English pinyin At least one corresponding Chinese character corresponding to the string; and corresponding Chinese characters displayed by the user from the machine

Page 9 520592 V. Description of the invention (6) Select the Chinese word you want to enter from the words. Obviously, the biggest feature of this method is that the user only needs to input the first letter of the pinyin of each Chinese character in the specific Chinese character word to be input, and then can select the desired input from the corresponding words listed by the machine The specific Chinese words greatly simplify the user's operation procedures (such as reducing the number of unnecessary keystrokes). Based on this Chinese character word input method, the present invention also proposes a Chinese character word input system and a system that provides a mobile phone with a function of quickly searching for data. Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a method for providing intelligent database sorting and a method for providing users with a fast search database. The main feature is that the data sorting method can be changed according to the user's settings (especially the input method). , And the user can directly input the index data by the aforementioned Chinese word input method regardless of the sorting method of the data. 5-4 Detailed description of the invention: A preferred implementation of the present invention is a Chinese character word input method. As shown in the second figure, at least the following steps are included: First, as shown in input box 21, the user input corresponds to a certain Chinese An English pinyin string of words (for example, input to a machine), where the number of English alphabets in the English pinyin string is the same as the number of Chinese characters in the Chinese word, and the English alphabets in the English pinyin string are Sequentially, starting from the first Chinese character of the Chinese word, to the Chinese characters that make up the Chinese word, at the same time, any English letter is relative

Page 10 520592 V. Description of the invention (7) The first letter of the Chinese Pinyin should be reached; then as shown in the search box 2 2 (this machine) according to the majority of Chinese words contained in the Chinese word database With most of the relationships between most English pinyin strings, find at least one corresponding Chinese word corresponding to the English pinyin string input by the user; as shown in display box 2 3, (this machine) These corresponding Chinese words are displayed; finally, as shown in the selection box 24, the user selects the Chinese words that he wants to input from the corresponding Chinese words. Incidentally, the above-mentioned Chinese word database may be created in advance or edited by a user. The so-called Chinese Pinyin includes at least the English pronunciation of Roman Pinyin and Mandarin Zhuyin. When you enter the block 2 2 of wang, use these two machine words here, for example, select the box word that is the machine w "and the obvious method. In the method, the phonetic shang is in the search side to find all stages, and the Chinese characters are therefore picking The required Chinese words are composed of 丨, s 丨 丨 ,, ', and the input of this local word uses this spelling 丨 丨 w 丨 丨. The head of the database block 2 3 is the first ". The Chinese characters selected by the Chinese key input technology still use the Chinese word π Internet π as an example. At the stage of box 21, the user only needs to input the first English letter "sπ" of two English words respectively. In the stage, , This machine will automatically start with the Chinese words beginning with the Chinese word letters. On the display admirer, all the two words such as Internet, business, play, morning, 2 and 4 above will appear. The user only needs to do it on the screen. Since the search is automatically performed by using the first two letters, the user only needs to select the desired Chinese word by pressing two at the end. It is more user-friendly and efficient.

Page 11 520592 V. Description of the invention (8) Especially when this machine is a product such as a mobile phone that does not use a standard keyboard of 101 or 104, due to the common use of such products in the conventional arts The CC I TT standard keyboard is very troublesome to input Chinese. For example, as described above, a π Internet "requires about 20 key presses, and this method is only s, and the" 7PQRS "key is pressed five times in a row. And w, "9WXYZ" key is pressed twice in succession, a total of seven times, please refer to the corresponding table of keys and symbols shown in the third figure, which shows the corresponding English letter 3 corresponding to each keyboard key value 3 1, 2. Corresponding to Pinyin letters 3 3 and corresponding Zhuyin letters 3 4. Obviously, this method is particularly suitable for products using CC ITT standard keyboards or other keyboards other than 101 keyboards or 104 keyboards, which allows users to borrow The 丨 | CC I TT standard keyboard has only 1 or 2 symbol keys to answer the purpose of entering Chinese words, and because only the hand letter of each word of Chinese words can be entered, the word entry can be completed, and the keys are saved. frequency Simplify the input steps and reduce the erroneous input caused by the confusion of pinyin pronunciation, so it is a Chinese input method that is more advanced than the conventional art, especially the number of Chinese characters in Chinese words (such as artificial intelligence) or the corresponding English pinyin length The advantages of this method are even more obvious. ^ Of course, as shown in Figure 4A, because the machine may be installed with other Chinese input methods, and the aforementioned English pinyin string may be input characters with other Chinese | input methods Confusion, so this method can still be as shown in the determination box 41. Before the user enters the English pinyin string, the machine is set to not use any other Chinese input method to avoid the input of the English pinyin 'string and Other Chinese input methods are confused.

Page 12 520592 V. Description of the invention (9) At the same time, as shown in the difference box 4 2 in Figure 4B, when the English pinyin string will be confused with the input symbols of other Chinese input methods, the user will When entering the English pinyin word Φ, at least the English letters of the part that will cause confusion are separated by a special symbol. The so-called special symbol is any symbol that is not an English alphabet, such as the space bar symbol. In addition, like the intelligent selection function possessed by some software, this method can also include before the English pinyin string has been completely entered into the machine. The library searches for at least one corresponding specific Chinese word, so as to provide the user with the function of selecting the Chinese word to be input before the English pinyin string is completely input, as shown in the smart selection box 4 3 in the fourth C diagram. The above specific Chinese word refers to a Chinese word corresponding to a specific English pinyin string corresponding to one of the specific Chinese words from the beginning and a part of the English pinyin string that the user has entered. One embodiment corresponding to the previous embodiment is a Chinese character word input system. As shown in the fifth figure, it includes at least an input module 51, a storage module 5g, an identification module 53, a display module 54, and a selection module 55. The input module 51 is used for the user of the machine to input an English pinyin string corresponding to a Chinese word. The number of English letters in an English pinyin string is not more than the number of Chinese characters in a Chinese word.

11 I ΙΒΙΙΙΙ11 111 1 11 BliBiiiSB Page 13 520592 V. Description of the invention (ίο) Most English letters in the phonetic string are in sequence from the first Chinese character of the Chinese word to the majority of the Chinese word. Chinese characters, at the same time any English letter is the first letter of the English pinyin relative to Chinese characters. Incidentally, the so-called English pinyin of Chinese characters includes at least the English pronunciation of Roman pinyin and Mandarin phonetic notation. The so-called machine includes at least a personal assistant, a mobile phone, a machine using a standard keyboard developed by the International Telegraph and Telecommunications Information Commission, and a mobile phone using a standard keyboard developed by the International Telegraph and Telecommunications Information Commission. And the input module 51 can be a keyboard that can input all English letters, a standard keyboard developed by the International Telecommunications Telecommunications Information Committee, or a keyboard including a standard keyboard developed by the International Telecommunications Telecommunications Information Committee and a pair of control keys and a shift key. . The storage module 52 is used to store the majority relationship between most Chinese words and most English pinyin strings. Each Chinese word corresponds to only one English pinyin string, but any English pinyin string can correspond to more than one Chinese word. Most of the relationships stored in the storage module 52 are preset, but they can also be edited by the user. The function of the identification module 53 is to find at least one Chinese word corresponding to the English pinyin string input by the input module 51 according to the content of the storage module 52. The display module 5 4 is used to display at least one corresponding Chinese word found by the identification module 5 3. Select module 5 5 to facilitate users to display module 5 4 by using the shift key or the confirmation key.

Page 14 520592 V. Description of the invention (11) At least one of the corresponding Chinese words displayed is the Chinese word that the user wants to enter. Method of the invention. As shown in the figure, the acceptance includes at least one, the task, and the order, according to the table, and the order of the phonetic character, the current language mode, the current language, the character, the phonetic notation, and the basis of these characters. The other six pictures of the sequence table are from foreign words and word characters in English and the sequence table; the formula is based on the material, and the sequential embodiment of is a kind of illustration, the world loses; The words are as follows: If the English word pinyin mode is displayed as shown in the current sequence, at least the input of most pens will be exchanged. 6 2 The corresponding first sequence box 6 3 is created in the order of this symbol. The phonetic alphabet is received. 6 The formula of the sorting table shown in box 6 5 of 4 is based on the language model for these data. Provide information on the steps, including its instructions, English word instructions, and some information to establish these sequences. Then, in the current sequence, the phonetic alphabet database is intelligently sorted: if you enter any of the information in box 6 1 Character conversion program symbol, a pinyin character line sorting procedure, a borrowed English character sorting material, a pinyin character, these are received before the language is used to display these character sorting formulas, and one of the data sets the mode to English data, the order in the table According to Zhuyin here, the so-called outside world can be the manufacturer of the database or the user. The above words may be Chinese words or English words. And the English character corresponding to any word is an English letter combination used in the English representation of the word, and the Pinyin character corresponding to any word is the English used in the Roman Pinyin corresponding to the Chinese representation of this word Letter combinations, while

Page 15 520592 V. Description of the Invention (12) The phonetic character corresponding to any word is the English letter combination used for the English pronunciation of the Mandarin phonetic corresponding to the Chinese expression of this word. Obviously, a great advantage of this embodiment is that the arrangement of data in the database can be changed according to the input method (current language mode) used by the user, so the user can choose a convenient input method without having to move into the database How the data is sorted. Especially for a machine that is not easy to input Chinese, such as a mobile phone, this embodiment can make the order of the data in the database (such as the phone book) seen by the user consistent with the input method used by the user, thereby allowing the user to choose Any convenient middle input method to input and query this database, || will not cause any inconvenience because the order of the data and the corresponding order of the input method are not the same. Another embodiment corresponding to the foregoing method for providing intelligent sorting of databases is a method for providing users with a fast search database, as shown in the seventh figure, including at least the following steps: as shown in the acceptance module 71, accepting from the outside Most of the entered data, any one of which contains an index Chinese word; as shown in the conversion module 72, a conversion process is performed to establish a corresponding first word of each word in the index The pinyin string is used to create the first letter of the pinyin string. The number of letters in the first letter of the pinyin string f of any word is the same as the number of Chinese characters in the corresponding Chinese word in the index. And each English letter in the first word of Pinyin string corresponds to the first Chinese word in the index in the index and corresponds to each Chinese character in the _ text word in the index, while any English letter corresponds Chinese characters

520592 on page 16 5. The English spelling of the invention description accepts the order of the first Chinese character Pinyin of the first word of the fixed word of Pinyin alphabet number system, looking for the pinyin string display, when looking for the first pinyin Chinese word (13) The first user of the phonetic string enters the string, and the specified one is separated from one of the Chinese characters in the Pinyin string of the special Chinese character, and any one of the first letters at the same time; When these words are the same as those found in the string, at least one parent is displayed; the first word of the fixed word should be included in the English word such as Sou Pinyin. For example, if you receive the English and Chinese characters contained in the first word of a specific word, you should go to the group of letters, the lanyard module string, the phonetic string, and the pinyin corresponding to the user ’s Chinese pinyin. The string contains the English word of a specific word of the word shown in the word input module 7 3, and most strings of special Chinese words contain the same number in sequence from Chinese characters to middle. Of course, the first word of the spelling of the first word in the English-Chinese search process of the first word module 7 5 is of course one less. To improve the efficiency of the search process, this embodiment may be further included in the conversion module 72. A sorting table of the initials of the first word of these data is created according to the order of the initials of the first word of these words. In addition, in order to improve user convenience, this embodiment may be further included in the display module 75. When no initial pinyin string that is the same as the initial pinyin string of a specific word is found, no Information messages. Furthermore, in order to avoid confusion between the initial pinyin string of a specific word entered and other Chinese input methods, this embodiment is further included in the receiving user input module 73, where the user enters the initial pinyin word of a specific word Before string

Page 17 520592 V. Description of the invention (14) Set not to use any other Chinese input method. Of course, the same is to avoid the confusion between the initial pinyin string of a specific word and other Chinese input methods. In this embodiment, the user input module 73 can also be used when the English pinyin string is different from other Chinese input methods. When the input symbols are confused, when the user enters the English pinyin string, each English letter of the part where the confusion occurs will be separated by a special symbol. The special symbol mentioned above is any symbol that is not an English alphabet. For example, Space bar symbol. In addition, in order to provide a smart selection function to enhance the convenience of the user, the display module 75 in this embodiment may be further included before the English pinyin string has been completely input. The copy of the English pinyin string searches for at least one specific Chinese character word, so as to provide a function for the user to select the Chinese character word to be inputted before the English pinyin string is completely entered. The above-mentioned specific Chinese word refers to a Chinese word corresponding to a certain English word corresponding to a specific Chinese word from the beginning and a part of the English pinyin string that the user has entered. Incidentally, the above-mentioned group of databases may be pre-built in the database, or may be edited by the user, and the possible types of the database include the phone book of the mobile phone. At this time, the Chinese word in the index is the name, and the φ mobile phone is a mobile phone equipped with a standard keyboard developed by the International Telecommunications Telecommunications Information Commission.
