Abstract

The invention provides an English input method of handheld electronic equipment capable of selecting input of most lower case English letters and capital English letters by bundling with a selector, which comprises pre-defined count of keys. The English input method classifies the keys of the selector as a capital key, multiple group keys and two sets of original character selection key and additional character selection key with same quantity, and divides English letters into multiple sets of letter groups so that the letter group allocation is set up as the typical value of those group keys of the selector being pressed respectively; after determining if the inputted English letter is capital or lower case depending on capital key being pressed or not while inputting, press the corresponding group key and see if the character intended to be inputted shall reserve a space behind to use different sets of character selection keys to perform selection of potential characters, reserving no space behind the selected potential character from the original character selection key and adding a space behind the selected potential character from the additional character selection key.

Description

577215 A7 B7 V. Description of the Invention (1) [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an English input method, and particularly to an English input method used in conjunction with a handheld electronic device. [Description of Knowing Skills] Generally common English input methods are printed or displayed one by one on a number of keys preset in the selector in terms of the use of a selector configured on a computer such as a keyboard or a touch screen. There are twenty-six English letters (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ), ten Arabic numbers (12345 67 890), and various symbols (·,? ... etc.), and the input is based on the English letters, numbers or symbols you want to enter one by one. The corresponding keys on the selector can be converted by the input method editor program to appear the candidate word that matches the input. The input method editor program described here is a universal tool for encoding various input methods. The advantage of this English input method is that as long as Is Dong Tsai's English mother, number, and various symbols, you can select and input one by one according to the font corresponding to the font marked on each key, and you can easily complete the input operation. The keyboard provides a one-to-one correspondence between fonts and keys, providing one-word-one-key input, so that the number of keystrokes is only required.

Ik is developing in the fields of wireless communication and the Internet. The input and use of English letters, numbers, and various symbols is no longer limited to ordinary computers. Its use has expanded to handheld electronic devices such as mobile phones and messengers.

Using a mobile phone as an example, there are usually only a dozen buttons. When entering English, you cannot provide enough keys to set it as a pair-by-pair setting. You must use a different setting method. ~ At present, if you want to use the hand-held electronic device to surf the Internet 'to send text messages, emails, or perform other functions, and you must enter English letters, the more traditional method is to use the letter as the input unit, although the input speed Slower (because multi-letters share a key, some even need to press four times to represent a letter), but the effect of accurate input can be achieved. | Come with the idea of a single word (w (mi) as the input unit (this idea was first proposed by IH Witten in 1982, because it did not propose a complete set of feasible input ideas, but it is often refuted, for reasons of refusal, see: discussion That is, in the process of each word being inputted sequentially by key, after each letter is typed, a menu of candidate words that may be composed will appear ', and then the desired word is selected from the menu, so when completing the word input It is not necessary to type all the letters. This type of input method using single characters as input units has been seen in a variety of different designs, which are generally similar and have the following problems: 1. In order to make word selection easy, The dictionary must not be too large, and the combination of words cannot be avoided. 2. The case of the letters cannot be distinguished. 3. The shortcomings of different word selection methods, for example, if the keys used to select characters are used when typing letters If you press the key, you must reserve a stop key for functional separation. If you use the arrow keys to move within the menu (such as Motorola's itap), you need to touch the line to be selected later. Move many times. If you use it repeatedly with only one word selection key (such as Tegic Communications' T9 smart English input, the T9 menu will be in the same paper size as the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇x 297 mm)- ----- Page / 20 A7

B7 In the sentence, the menu character 4D key will become wider. If you find that the input character is not what you want, press the select key. If you choose i and another—the word 1 to be selected is not the desired character, you can press this word.) When I encountered the word ^ once, I didn't find it, which means that I didn't enter the word. When there are many words to be selected, it is also not easy to find what you want quickly. ⑤ When the sentence is composed of a single word, in order to save the key, while there are some words that are rotated, a space is automatically left behind the words. 7 丄 When entering a single word into the mother's turn, press one blank key at least, but the input process φ ^ 'does not have to have a space after each word. When this happens, the arrow and # 曹 引 引 will automatically leave a space. Instead, it will cause °, instead of encountering the word you want to enter, which is not established in the dictionary :, you must go one by one; the letter Ri Temple formed by the input and output will automatically blank a blank input and become the mother input. After completing a letter, you must press a back key (O-kspace) to delete the added space, so it will cause great trouble when entering. The probability of this situation is not low, and it is common in the input of single words such as person names, place names, company names, special words, innovative words ... In view of the fact that in the past, when the English input method was used to input a sentence, if the sentence contained both English capitals, numbers, and symbols, and when there were words in the sentence that were not created in the dictionary, it would be very inconvenient to handle. There is a need for improvement. [Summary of the invention] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an English input method that can distinguish between the uppercase and lowercase letters of the English language when inputting, and take into account the convenience of using English letters and English words as input units. This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 × 297 issued) " '^ --- page 5 577215 A7
