TW535100B - Q9 Pin-yin Chinese character input method and keyboard thereof - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention is a Q9 Pin-yin Chinese character input method applied on telecommunication and computer products, especially small or miniature type products, and a corresponding keyboard thereof. It divides input of Chinese character into three steps, including consonant, single vowel, and compound vowel. Only three keys are required to be pressed before character selection. Since the tone of the Chinese character is input at the same time when inputting the compound vowel, the number of characters to be selected in character selection is reduced significantly and, therefore, the input time is shortened. Also, a Q9 keyboard is applied to make the input method particularly ideal for mobile phone applications, such as on-line connection and e-mail transmission. The input method of the present invention is simple and direct perceivable and requires no learning by rote. Those who are familiar with Chinese Pin-yin may learn it in three minutes.

535100 Invention description (9)

The clear keyboard usually includes a keyboard panel (1), and a keyboard CPU (2). The CPU (2), under the control of a predetermined program, inputs instructions according to the keyboard panel 1, and converts the human-machine interface of the key surface (1) to perform The conversion display of each interface in FIGS. 2 to 9 and the display of related Chinese characters. When used, follow the steps in Figure 1 ^ to implement word selection functions such as interface conversion. When the keyboard is used in the products of the glycosides field, most of them need to carry the Chinese character library (3). It can be composed of a piece of Ij ', while in the computer field products, most of the Chinese character library (3) is not required. Functional requirements, even in the computer field products, 'the Chinese character library (3) can be included, in addition, because the required memory is not large', the storage part can be included in the keyboard CPU (2). Here are a few more examples to illustrate the method and keyboard interface conversion status of the present invention: 'Enter the word "江", whose Chinese pinyin is jiang, and the four sounds are yinping, first enter the initial j from interface 1 and then the final i from interface 2; The interface is converted to the interface 6 shown in FIG. 7, and the iang and the first sound Yinping are input from the interface 6, and a number of homophonic and homophonic Chinese characters including π Jiangπ appear. The appearance order of the Chinese characters is 'usually arranged according to the frequency of use' and the frequency is high. First-come first, press Jiangji, that is, & Jiangzi to move to the display screen. Here, the input operator only presses the key three times to enter the word compliance stage, and most of the word selection stages can be selected at one time. If there are more than 9 words selected, press the space bar below to enter the next version of the word selection area and continue the word selection. Compared with the ordinary Chinese pinyin input, pressing one key at a time, the method of the present invention is simplified to three keys to enter the word selection stage, and due to the difference of four sounds, the range of word selection is greatly reduced, for example, according to the Chinese-English dictionary 1 9 0 The first edition of the year, unified book number 9017 · 810, there are 26 homonyms under j iang, there are only three under j iang

Xia Yinping tone has 10 words, of which Jiang. The person directly selects it and other pinyin input keys ’, which greatly improves the Chinese character 535100. 5. Description of the invention (10) sound, no Yinping height, so the Jiangzi ratio, the word selection stage can save 32.5 5 speed. For another example, enter the word "安", Α has no initials in front, the interface f / :: sound is an, and the-consonant 2 enters the final a, then the interface ==, enter the interface 2, and then 0 ^ 4 bit up conversion Enter an for the interface 3, 3 shown in Figure 4, and the tone of the melody of the tone of the tone is l, +,-Qu Di sound appears. According to the upper speed code, the an word is a dance π > There are only 8 Chinese characters under the sound of μ Ding Yu, and they will all be displayed on the screen, which can be directly selected at one time.

Through the above examples and readings, the brother-in-law L clearly explained the steps and keyboard features of the present invention. The formula of the present invention = the structure of the keyboard is simple, and the Chinese character input method is faster than the method and keyboard. You can use the left Φ 1 ^ ask question 1 1>) for mobile phones, and it can also be used in telecommunications computers and other products as well as game consoles and other products. It ’s more frequent than the inviting renren ’’s interface. From interface to interface Chinese characters. The method of display is more convenient.
