Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a module for inputting Chinese words in a portable terminal device. According to the invention, the consonants and vowels of the Chinese mandarin phonetic symbols (MPS) are distributed among the pushbuttons. The spelling rules and styles of the consonants and vowels in the MPS, together with the designs for the word region, the symbol region, and the candidate word region, are used to automatically determine a phonetic symbol that should be outputted. Since the phonetic structure in a Chinese word at most includes a consonant, when receiving a message selected from a pushbutton, if the word region has temporarily stored another phonetic symbol, the symbol region only needs to list the vowel defined by the pushbutton or only list the vowel in compliance with the spelling rules. On the other hand, if the word region has not stored other phonetic symbol, it is then required to list all phonetic symbols of the pushbutton in the symbol region. Thus, the number of times that the pushbuttons are pushed can be reduced.

[Previous technology] 10 15 Press. In the general mobile terminal device (or portable device), Mu Ke's mobile phone activities are mostly equipped with input functions for users to enter characters, characters, or characters. Because the external specifications of mobile phones are mostly light and short, which results in a limited number of configurable keys on mobile phones, they only include simple function keys such as number keys, symbol keys, call keys, and arrow keys. For input in various languages, multiple functions are often defined on a single button. Please refer to Figure i, and take the number key "1" of the mobile phone as an example. This key can be used to input the Chinese phonetic symbol ")" and "female" in addition to the "month" "dagger" with the input number. Two ", and" ["(# can also be designed on the number keys for input)" as shown in Figure 1. It is known that the note on the key is ❹-typed, and the big 4 increases as the number keys increase. According to the sequence, the sounds are hidden on the average. The phonetic symbols arranged on the number keys ° ", are f connected to the phonetic symbols. However, in the first half of the Chinese phonetic symbols, the initials are the main system. The main arrangement of the finals is the same as the keyboard arrangement rules of the known custom;:; 20 1227416 are all initials or finals. In this way, the number of keystrokes W y will be created, and the user enters% to enter the person, ~例如. For example, the user wants to use mobile phone! To lose, it includes the phonetic symbols "female", "-", and two, one hundred, the user must click the number key Γι "twice to call Domain! "In the phonetic notation corresponding to" Female " ^ Click the number key "G"-once to select "-"; then count the sub-key 7 "four times" to select "Gan". According to the above, users must click the key up to seven times in total To complete the input of "女 ίο, and then calculate the candidate by the mobile phone 丨: for use, so 'If the user needs to enter a long Chinese character string, it will take more time to select the correct phonetic symbol. The process is ideal. The industry has also developed a mobile terminal device that arranges phonetic symbols according to the frequency of input times. However, this requires the user to memorize the line of phonetic symbols on the mobile terminal device in 15 lines. After that, you can smoothly input through the keys. Also, there are mobile terminal devices with automatic pinyin function. For example, when the user first presses the number 鐽 「丨」 and then presses the number key "9 ^, the mobile terminal device will All the phonetic symbols corresponding to the above number keys are arranged and combined to calculate possible pinyin combinations, and the candidate characters of various pinyin combinations are listed in 20, However, if the required Chinese text series is in the last order, the user must gradually switch to the back to select the desired text, which is likely to cause inconvenience in use. From this, we can know that the conventional data retrieval method still exists There are many defects and it is necessary to improve. I227416 [Summary of the Invention] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a mobile terminal device input method and its input module. The initials and finals of phonetic symbols are evenly distributed to each: Each key can reduce the number of keys required to input Chinese, and the speed of inputting s simultaneously; and the initials and finals of the phonetic symbols are arranged according to the known memory order, which is convenient for the user to operate. One objective is to provide an input method of a mobile terminal device and an input module thereof, which are supplemented by the rules of initials and finals in phonetic symbols and the method of pinyin to achieve the function of automatically making pinyin. 10. According to the features of the present invention, the input method of the proposed mobile terminal device is applied to the input module of the mobile terminal device for Chinese input. The input module has a plurality of keys, A block area for temporarily storing the selected = phonetic symbols, a symbol area for temporarily storing alternative phonetic symbols, and a candidate word area 15 for temporarily storing alternative word candidates, of which, Each key is defined with the initials of at least one phonetic symbol, and the finals of at least one phonetic symbol. The present invention first receives a signal that a key is selected, and then extracts the initials and finals information defined by this key; sub-judgment whether there is any phonetic notation temporarily stored in the block area? Tiger, if I, only Send the initial information defined by the button to the symbol area, otherwise the initials and finals defined by the button will be transmitted to the symbol area; then the selected phonetic symbols received from the symbol area will be sent to the group Word area; further determine whether the phonetic notation in the group sub-area is sufficient to compose a Chinese character; if so, according to the pinyin rules combined with the phonetic notation located in the group word area, provide at least-candidate words in the candidate word area for users Select, otherwise continue to receive the selected signal of key 7 1227416; finally display it on the mobile terminal device to complete the input of a Chinese character. · According to another feature of the present invention, an input module of a mobile terminal device is proposed, which includes a plurality of keys, a set of word fields, a symbol field, 5 and a candidate word field to achieve the above input. Method 俾 for Chinese input. [Embodiment] In order to allow your review committee to better understand the technical content of the present invention, the preferred specific embodiments are described below. Please refer to FIG. 2. The mobile terminal device 2 in this embodiment is a mobile phone 20. Of course, the mobile terminal device 2 may also be a personal digital assistant (person assis_PDA), or other mobile terminal devices with a limited number of keys. The mobile phone 20 of this embodiment is provided with a set of keyboards 21 俾 15 configured with a plurality of keys κ for the user to click and input, and defines a group area 22 for temporarily storing the currently entered phonetic symbols. Symbol area 23 for temporarily storing alternative phonetic symbols, and-Candidate area for temporarily storing alternative candidate words ° 24 'to form an input module' The functions of the above components will be described later Elaborate. Since most of the specifications of the mobile phone 20 are light, thin and short, the main number is 20, which results in a limited number of keys K that can be configured on the keyboard 21. Therefore, in order to enable the keyboard 21 to have both digital input, symbol input, text input, and call Multiple functions such as confirmation, direction selection, etc., so most of the keypads have multiple definitions. The mobile phone 20 of this embodiment can be used for Chinese phonetic input. Since the Chinese phonetic input is composed of twenty-one initials Spoon six force <12274.16 million factories W <ding worm corpse a jin 厶, sixteen vowels (Ya Guguan Qiao, 幺 You Gong 4 You 厶 Er Yi 乂 u), and tones (―, two, Three, four, and soft sounds), and follow the following phonetic rules: (1) Initials + Finals, such as · 'worm \; 5 (2) Initials + Finals + Tone, such as: Beya \; (3) Initials + Finals + Finals + Tone, for example: Factory 乂 / / (4) Finals + Tone, for example: U \; and (5) Finals + Final + Tone, for example: 乂 弓 \. Therefore, if the tone is not considered, the above-mentioned thirty-seven and ten phonetic symbols are evenly allocated on the keyboard 21. In this embodiment, the initials and finals of the phonetic symbol are evenly allocated to the keys "1" to "9", and each key K is assigned to both initials and finals. In the rules for the arrangement of phonetic symbols, the initials are arranged in the first half, and the finals are arranged in the second half. Since each key K of this embodiment can be used to input four to five-code phonetic notation number 15, this embodiment is the first Fill in the phonetic symbols to the first two codes of the button "丨" to button "9" according to the phonetic symbol arrangement rules. After completing the first 18: After the phonetic symbols, continue to configure the remaining phonetic symbols from the third code of the button "丨" symbol. As shown in Fig. 2, the display button r 丨 "is available for inputting the initials" spoon son-in-law "and the finals" Ya ", and the button" 2 "is available for inputting the initials" door "and" 20 ". And so on. Since the 鐽 K in this embodiment generally follows the arrangement rule of the left note, the phonetic symbols are configured, so the user does not need to use the amount, and the specific arrangement order helps to improve the input speed. In addition, the Zhuyin = sign can be evenly allocated to the keys “q” to 9 ”, or the knife can be assigned to other button rulers, and the tone symbol 1227416 • / V \” can be defined on the keys as required. K, but each-key ruler is better to define both initials and finals information, which is helpful to reduce the number of times the user needs to select (or press) the keyboard when entering Chinese. Next, please refer to the flowchart of FIG. 3 together, and take the Chinese character 5: apostrophe "(the corresponding phonetic symbol is) as an example. First, when the user selects the button "丨" to receive the signal by the mobile phone 2G (step S301), the mobile phone 20 can remove the corresponding initial ^ daughter on the button Γι "! 7 "and 4 mothers" Ya "(step S302). Since there are currently no phonetic symbols in the grouping area 22 (step s3 () 3), the symbol area 10 23 will list all the phonetic symbols corresponding to the key Γι "(step S304) for users to add Select. Since the target phonetic symbol is "female", the user can select the female by pressing the key "丨" twice in succession (step S305) 'and then control the mobile phone 20 to send "female" to the block 22 (step S306). It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the content of the phonetic symbols temporarily stored in the group 15 area 22 and the symbol area 23 can be displayed through the display module 25 of the mobile phone for the user to select as a test. It can also be defined that the symbol area 23 only displays the currently selected phonetic symbol, so that the key is displayed by the “=====” _ ”the same 20-symbol is currently selected; and the group area 22 and the symbol area 23 are temporarily selected. The stored phonetic symbols 2 may not be displayed on specific and absolute coordinates on the display module 25, and may also be displayed at corresponding relative position coordinates with the number of currently stored phonetic symbols. In addition, 'this embodiment is to select the Nth phonetic symbol on the button K by consecutively selecting the same button κ N times, of course, you can also use the number keys to 4 "to 4 to get the required phonetic symbol', such as in the above steps In s milk, so that 1227416 users can select the desired phonetic symbol by selecting the number key r2 arrow keys. At this time, only the text is stored in the grouping area 22 (step 7), so the user enters _ ^ Θ /, and enters the result after step T (step S301), and extracts π η Take out the corpse of the consonant factory corresponding to Zhi 9 "9" temporarily "-乂 U" (step coffee). At present, the earmother "female" is added in the word block (step S303). According to the pinyin rules, one Chinese = the lead structure contains at most one consonant, so only the key% ί 应 ㈣ "-XU" is transmitted to The symbol area 23 can be used (step side, if the "female" in the block area 22 and the "-乂 u" in the symbol area 23 are combined and compared ^ one by one, the Chinese characters will not be compared with "" Pinyin, and articulate, so the mobile phone 20 will filter out the invalid finals "u", and keep the finals "-符合" that meet the rules in the symbol area 23 (step 309). In this example only In the middle, a delay is set for each input.) 15 = For example, 3 seconds or 5 seconds, so that after the user clicks a button κ, the right button κ is selected to select the symbol, Or select another key κ to perform: when a Zhuyin symbol is input, the first valid pay number corresponding to the key κ will be automatically transmitted to the group word area 22. Therefore, after the user selects and presses "9" once, the mobile phone 20 will select the first symbol "one" in "one" (step S305) to temporarily store in the block area 22 ( Step S306) ° Similarly, when the user selects the button "4" immediately (step S3〇1), since "word one" is already stored in the block 22 (step S303), and "girl" does not exist in Chinese The pinyin combination of "Yiqiao" will therefore send "廿" directly to group 20 1227416, zone 22 (v'S3G6). At this time, three phonetic notation matches women's sweets have been temporarily stored in the group word area. "Since the Chinese phonetic structure includes a maximum of three phonetic symbols, the Ding phone 20 will automatically determine that the phonetic symbols have been entered (step S307). Then switch to the word selection mode, based on which 5 candidate words that match the Pinyin combination of "Gan" are retrieved from the vocabulary library, including "^", "_", "_", and "_)" ( Step_〇 "), and then select the corresponding number key" 2 "from the Γΐ character area 24 to enter" eight ". The 4 character area 24 can automatically provide matching or related information according to the spelling combination in the group character area 22 in real time.
