1313425 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於供使用者輸入表意語言文字的計算機驅 動系統。更特定來說,本發明係關於經由提交簡略字和/ 或任意給定字之簡略筆劃針對表意語言詞組之縮寫使用者 輸入的計算機驅動系統。 【先前技術】1313425 IX. Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a computer drive system for a user to input ideographic words. More particularly, the present invention relates to computer driven systems for abbreviated user input for ideographic language phrases via short strokes of abbreviations and/or any given words. [Prior Art]

數位裝置現今已相當普及。人們已一般化地使用桌上 型計算機、筆記型電腦、手機、個人數字助理(p D A )和 許多諸如這樣的裝置。概括地說,該等裝置中的每一者皆 為計算機的不同實現。在該等裝置中,為人類使用者提供 適度可靠、方便、有利的提交輸入至計算機的方法是不可 或缺的。基於此理由,工程師們開發出了種類極其繁多的 鍵盤、滑鼠、軌跡球、操縱桿、數位化表面、語音識別系 統、眼動跟蹤系統以及許多其它類似的工具。 表意語言的使用者輪入一直是一個特殊的難題。與英 語不同,其將單詞分解為具有2 6個組成字母的字母表,然 如中文這樣的書面語言則使用數以千計不同的字。工程師 們透過開發出採用許多種不同技術的解決方案開始解決這 一難題。其中特定例子包括基於字的大型鍵盤、供借助標 準鍵盤和滑鼠使用的複雜計算機選單系統、棒(stick )和 按紐輸入工具、手寫數位化轉換器以及許多其它工具。 5 1313425 對許多人來說,手寫數位化轉換器是 提供了手寫輸入的便利和自然感覺。可是 其中一些字包括多於二十劃之其它表意語 服已知手寫數位化轉換器的缓慢速度幾乎 外,風格和傾斜度方面的個體差異增加了 算機和行動式裝置中的手寫識別易出錯, 得更清楚、仔細,而進一步降低了輸入速 精選的工具,其 ,由於中文以及 言的複雜性,克 是不可能的。此 挑戰性,使得計 迫使使用者書寫Digital devices are now quite popular. Tablet computers, notebook computers, cell phones, personal digital assistants (p D A ), and many such devices have been used in general. In summary, each of these devices is a different implementation of the computer. In such devices, it is indispensable to provide a human user with a reasonably reliable, convenient, and advantageous method of submitting input to a computer. For this reason, engineers have developed a wide variety of keyboards, mice, trackballs, joysticks, digital surfaces, speech recognition systems, eye tracking systems, and many other similar tools. The user-intention of the ideographic language has always been a special problem. Unlike English, it breaks down words into alphabets with 26 constituent letters, while written languages like Chinese use thousands of different words. Engineers began to solve this problem by developing solutions using many different technologies. Specific examples include large word-based keyboards, complex computer menu systems for use with standard keyboards and mice, stick and button entry tools, handwritten digitizers, and many others. 5 1313425 For many people, the handwritten digitizer provides the convenience and natural feel of handwriting input. However, some of the words include more than twenty strokes. Others are convinced that the slow speed of the known handwritten digitizer is almost the same, and the individual differences in style and inclination increase the handwriting recognition in the computer and the mobile device. , to be clearer and more careful, and further reduce the input speed selection tool, which is impossible due to the complexity of Chinese and words. This challenge makes the meter force the user to write

硬體部件及互連 總體架構 本發明的一態樣係關於一種表意語言手寫輸入和處理 系統。該系統可以利用各種硬體部件和互連而加以實施, 其中一例子係透過第1 A圖的系統1 0 0來描述。HARDWARE COMPONENTS AND INTERCONNECTS OVERALL STRUCTURE An aspect of the present invention is directed to an ideographic language handwriting input and processing system. The system can be implemented using a variety of hardware components and interconnects, an example of which is described by the system 100 of Figure 1A.

更特定來說,參照第1 A圖,系統1 0 0包括顯示器1 0 2、 資料輸入工具104、處理器106和儲存器108。在一例子中, 顯示器1 0 2包括一較小的P D A L C D顯示器。然而,顯示器 1 02可以由不同尺寸或配置的LCD顯示器、CRT、等離子體 顯示器(plasms display)或任何其它用於接收機器可讀輸 入信號並提供人類可以讀取之輸出的裝置實現。在一例子 中,資料輪入工具104包括一 PDA手寫數位化部件。在這 點上,工具104可以包括一手寫數位化表面,如觸摸屏、數 位化墊或實際上任何其它被配置接收借助觸筆、鋼筆、鉛 筆、手指等所提交之使用者手寫的數位化表面等。此外, 或者作為替代方案,工具104可以包括一個不同的手勢輸入 工具,如滑鼠、滾球式觸筆、軌跡球、滑鼠、指示棒或其 它適合在手邊應用的工具等。再者,工具104可以包括前述 裝置的組合。在一個將工具1 〇 4實現為手寫數位化表面的例 子中,可以將顯示器1 0 2和工具1 0 4協同定位,使得數位化 表面疊置在顯示器102上面。 在一例子中,儲存器1 0 8包括在諸如P D A之類的小型應 用中使用的那種類型的微尺寸快閃記憶體。不過,儲存器 7 1313425More specifically, referring to FIG. 1A, system 100 includes display 1 0 2, data entry tool 104, processor 106, and memory 108. In one example, display 102 includes a smaller P D A L C D display. However, display 102 can be implemented by differently sized or configured LCD displays, CRTs, plasms displays, or any other device for receiver readable input signals and providing human readable output. In one example, data entry tool 104 includes a PDA handwritten digitizing component. In this regard, the tool 104 can include a handwritten digitizing surface, such as a touch screen, a digitizing pad, or virtually any other digitally configured surface that is configured to receive handwritten by a user submitted by means of a stylus, pen, pencil, finger, and the like. . In addition, or as an alternative, the tool 104 can include a different gesture input tool such as a mouse, a stylus, a trackball, a mouse, a pointing stick, or other tool suitable for use at hand. Further, the tool 104 can include a combination of the foregoing devices. In an example where the tool 1 〇 4 is implemented as a handwritten digitized surface, the display 102 and the tool 104 can be co-located such that the digitized surface is superimposed on the display 102. In one example, the memory 1 0 8 includes a micro-sized flash memory of the type used in a small application such as P D A. However, the storage 7 1313425

1 Ο 8可以用各種硬體實現,該各種硬體如磁性媒體(如卡帶 或磁片儲存器等)、韌體、電性非揮發性儲存器(如ROM 或EPROM或快閃PROM或EPROM等)、諸如RAM之類的揮 發性記憶體、光儲存器、以及實際上任何用於儲存機器可 讀資料且適於這裡所討論之應用的設備。至於資料結構, 儲存器1 〇 8中的各部件可以利用鏈接表、查閱表、關係資料 庫、或任何其它有用的資料結構來實現。1 Ο 8 can be implemented with a variety of hardware such as magnetic media (such as cassette or disk storage), firmware, electrical non-volatile storage (such as ROM or EPROM or flash PROM or EPROM, etc.) ), volatile memory such as RAM, optical storage, and virtually any device for storing machine readable material and suitable for the applications discussed herein. As for the data structure, the components in the storage 1 〇 8 can be implemented using a linked list, a lookup table, a relational database, or any other useful data structure.

如所圖解,儲存器1 0 8包括某些子部件,即詞組詞彙 1 1 〇、字詞彙1 1 1、字筆劃映射1 1 2和字語音映射1 1 3。可配 置系統1 0 0以實現一個或多個表意字集,但為了便於說明, 在諸如簡化中文之類的單個已安裝字集的環境下對系統 1 0 0加以描述。然後,對於已安裝字集,詞彙1 1 0包含一表 意詞組列表。該列表可以從各種已知標準獲得或產生、從 語料庫(c 〇 rp u s )中提取等。詞彙1 1 0可以在系統1 0 0之製 造上設置,或者在安裝或啟動或重新配置或另外的適當時 機下載。詞彙U 〇可以透過查閱使用者先前的輸入、網際網 路、無線網路、或其它來源而自我更新,不時地收集新詞 組。 在第1 B圖中,參考標號1 5 2 A (以及作為替代的參考標 號1 5 2B )示出了可能存在於詞彙1 1 0中的兩個示例性中文 語言詞組。1 5 2 A的兩個詞組是簡體中文字集的例子。1 5 2 B 的兩個詞組是繁體中文字集的例子。在一個簡體中文為已 安裝字集的例子中,則詞彙Η 〇會包括1 5 2 A的字。 8 1313425As illustrated, the storage 108 includes certain sub-components, namely the phrase vocabulary 1 1 〇, the word vocabulary 1 1 1 , the word stroke mapping 1 1 2, and the word speech mapping 1 1 3 . System 100 can be configured to implement one or more ideogram sets, but for ease of illustration, system 100 is described in the context of a single installed word set such as Simplified Chinese. Then, for the installed word set, the vocabulary 1 1 0 contains a list of vocabulary words. The list can be obtained or generated from various known standards, extracted from a corpus (c 〇 rp u s ), and the like. The vocabulary 1 1 0 can be set on the system 1000 manufacturing, or downloaded at the time of installation or startup or reconfiguration or another suitable time. The vocabulary U 自我 can be self-updated by reviewing the user's previous input, the Internet, the wireless network, or other sources, collecting new phrases from time to time. In Figure 1 B, reference numeral 1 5 2 A (and as an alternative reference numeral 1 5 2B) shows two exemplary Chinese language phrases that may be present in the vocabulary 110. The two phrases of 1 5 2 A are examples of simplified Chinese characters. The two phrases of 1 5 2 B are examples of traditional Chinese characters. In an example where Simplified Chinese is an installed word set, the vocabulary Η 〇 will include 1 5 2 A words. 8 1313425

In a simplified Chinese example of an installed word set, the sink 111 can contain individual words of 152A. Alternatively, one or both of the words 110-111 may include information about the word or word rate. This material may be included in the vocabulary 11 0 -1 1 1 , or the appropriate link to the word and/or phrase in the vocabulary 1 1 0 -1 1 1 is optional. In a specific embodiment, the frequency of use is stated in a language, which generally indicates the frequency of use of the word (and/or phrase) its word (and/or phrase) or the next user type (or phrase) The probability of ). The frequency can be determined by one of the following: the number of occurrences in the text or conversation, the grammar of the surrounding sentence, the occurrence of one or more words of the word, the name of the system currently in the upper and lower input name into the phone book application, the word in the system Medium or recent usage (user's own frequency or some other frequency), or any combination of the previous ones. In addition, the matching component can be prioritized by the word in the next occurrence of the input stroke order. In another embodiment, the frequency is based on the use of a word or phrase by a particular user, or the use in a word or context, such as a user being a message or an article. In this example, frequently used words or phrases are more suitable. Some or all of the words in the pool 111, the word stroke map 112 includes a cross-reference between the list of word strokes. Optionally, mapping 1 1 2 includes 9

Moreover, mapping 1 1 2 can provide a plurality of stroke sequences for a given word. In Fig. 1B, reference numeral 154 shows exemplary Chinese characters and constituent strokes. In this example, the word of 154 is listed in the word vocabulary 1 1 1 and the stroke is listed in the mapping 1 1 2 in a pattern associated with the word. In this example, map 1 1 2 may also include one or more stroke sequences that specify the order in which 1 stroke is entered. Similarly, the mapping 1 1 3 includes the mutual illumination between each word and the voice representation, and the voice representation is a phonetic symbol, a ruby word, or other representation to the word according to a letter such as Bopomofo, Pinyin or the like. Written symbols of the pronunciation of the system, etc. In the illustrated example, the speech representation in addition to the beat map 113 also includes suitable tones. In Fig. 1B, reference numeral 1 5 6 - 158 shows the sample traditional Chinese character 1 5 4 and its representation in terms of Chinese alphabetic symbols (156) and tones (158). As an alternative to the device 100, the word vocabulary 1 1 1 should be omitted with a sufficiently large reservoir 108. In this particular embodiment, the phrases in the vocabulary 1 1 0 are directly decomposed into constituent strokes (1 1 2 ) and speech information (1 1 3 ). Referring to FIG. 1A, an example of the processor 1 0 6 is for A type of digital data processing entity in a PDA. However, in a more general sense, the functionality of the processor 1 0 6 can be implemented with one or more hardware devices, software devices, components of one or more hardware or software devices, or any combination of the foregoing.

Alternatively, in step 502, the user can alternate any phonetic symbols or steps that describe the pronunciation of the expected phrase seven words, as the sequence 500 can only utilize the pen and another The pattern 'replaces the stroke input for some or all of the user's expected word speech input. 14 1313425 User input is incomplete in one or both of the following. In one example, enter an abbreviated word that includes the expected phrase. In a five-word phrase, for example, the second and fourth words may be completely missing. In a different example, the input is incomplete because it includes a short stroke of one or more words in the expected phrase, rendering the words incomplete. In a five-word phrase, for example, the user input may not include certain strokes of the second, third, and fourth words in the five-word phrase.

在步驟5 0 2進行的操作還有,使用者標明一個或多個字 定義符號,系統1 〇 〇接收該訊息。概括來說,定義符號執行 規定一個字在哪結束以及下一個字在哪開始的主要功能。 相應地,為執行該主要功能,使用者向系統1 0 0標明定義符 號的操作可以由許多不同模式實現。定義符號可以是顯式 的(explicit)或隱式的(implicit)。顯式定義符號要求 使用者採取某個未另作要求的動作。隱式定義符號基於輪 入字之純粹動作的某一特性假定字邊界。 顯式定義符號的一個例子是使用者手寫所期望字的一 些或全部筆劃、然後按軟或硬鍵的情形,該軟或硬鍵如“返 回”鍵、規定的數字鍵(如“4”等)、字母鍵、或別的鍵等。 顯式定義符號的另一個例子是使用者在手寫數位化表面 1 04上用觸筆輕敲兩下或作出別的明顯手勢的情形。 對顯式定義符號的另一個例子描述如下。自此,處理 器1 0 6使顯示器1 0 2相繼顯示一個框序列,每個框用於接收 預期字序列中的一個不同字(在順序上)。在輸入每個字 15 1313425In step 502, the user also indicates one or more word definition symbols, and the system 1 〇 〇 receives the message. In summary, defining symbolic execution defines the main function of where a word ends and where the next word begins. Accordingly, to perform this primary function, the user's operation of identifying the symbol to the system 1000 can be implemented in a number of different modes. The definition symbol can be either explicit or implicit. Explicitly defining symbol requirements The user takes an action that is not otherwise required. An implicitly defined symbol assumes a word boundary based on a certain characteristic of the pure action of the inscribed word. An example of explicitly defining a symbol is when the user writes some or all of the strokes of the desired word and then presses a soft or hard key, such as a "return" key, a prescribed number key (such as "4", etc. ), letter keys, or other keys. Another example of explicitly defining a symbol is when the user taps the stylus twice on the handwritten digitizing surface 104 or makes other obvious gestures. Another example of explicitly defining symbols is described below. From this point on, processor 106 causes display 102 to successively display a sequence of blocks, each of which is used to receive a different word (in order) from the expected sequence of words. Enter each word 15 1313425

之後,將框作廢(blanked-out)、改變顏色、移去、或在 外表上以別的模式改變到適合新字的信號接收。因而,每 個框被設計成能接收單個字的使用者輸入,或跳過該字提 交一個空白。提供框的順序隱含地對應於字在詞組中所處 的順序。為了從一個框進展到下一個框,系統1 〇 〇需要一個 顯式定義符號,該顯式定義符號如使用者命令、區別手勢、 選單輸入、複選框輸入、輕敲觸筆、或輸入定義符號的其 它肯定動作等。可以輸入或不輸入表明詞組結束的最終定 義符號,取決於下面將詳細討論的詞組匹配細節。Thereafter, the box is blanked-out, changed color, removed, or otherwise changed in appearance to a signal reception suitable for the new word. Thus, each box is designed to accept user input for a single word, or to skip the word to submit a blank. The order in which the boxes are provided implicitly corresponds to the order in which the words are in the phrase. In order to progress from one box to the next, System 1 requires an explicit definition symbol such as a user command, a difference gesture, a menu input, a check box input, a tap stylus, or an input definition. Other positive actions of the symbol, etc. The final definition symbol indicating the end of the phrase may or may not be entered, depending on the phrase matching details discussed in detail below.

在隱式定義符號的情況下,處理器1 〇 6可以使顯示器 102顯示自動提示、助長(encourage)、格式化(format)、 或調整字的使用者輸入的圖形。相應地,隱式定義符號的 一個例子是處理器1 0 6使顯示器1 0 2提供一個包括多個框之 架構的情形。第6圖示出了包括五個框604、606、608'610' 6 1 2的架構6 0 2的例子。隱含地,每個框對應一個字。因此, 如果使用者在框604中輸入字筆劃,則處理器1 06假定這些 筆劃屬於詞組中的第一個字。如果使用者在框6 0 6中輸入字 筆劃,則處理器6 0 6假定這些筆劃屬於詞組中的第二個字。 在這個例子中,系統1 0 0不需要任何顯式定義符號來確定預 期詞組的結束。即,在之後的系統1 0 0解譯使用者輸入的步 驟(下面將進行更詳細討論)中,會執行上述這些操作, 以避免需要明確的定義符號。在一種情況下,系統1 〇 〇假定 預期詞組中字的數量由最右邊之具有任何使用者輸入的框 16 1313425In the case of implicitly defining symbols, processor 1 〇 6 may cause display 102 to display graphics that are automatically prompted, encourageed, formatted, or adjusted for user input of the word. Accordingly, an example of an implicitly defined symbol is the case where the processor 1 0 6 causes the display 102 to provide an architecture comprising a plurality of blocks. Figure 6 shows an example of an architecture 602 comprising five blocks 604, 606, 608 '610' 6 1 2 . Implicitly, each box corresponds to a word. Thus, if the user enters a word stroke in block 604, the processor 106 assumes that the strokes belong to the first word in the phrase. If the user enters a word stroke in box 606, the processor 706 assumes that the stroke belongs to the second word in the phrase. In this example, System 1000 does not require any explicit definition symbols to determine the end of the expected phrase. That is, in the subsequent steps of the system 1 0 0 interpreting the user input (discussed in more detail below), these operations are performed to avoid the need for explicit definition symbols. In one case, System 1 〇 〇 assumes that the number of words in the expected phrase is from the rightmost box with any user input 16 1313425

In the illustrated example, system 1 Ο 0 assumes the expected group, since box 6 0 5 is the rightmost one containing any user input, system 1 〇〇 will have the user input box to start with those words, End with those words, or group them. In addition, as discussed below, system 100 can continuously search for a phrase that matches the user input; at this point, the stroke and speech data are rendered until the system 1 〇 〇 is expected to output the desired phrase. In short, there is no need to explicitly define symbols. In a different embodiment of Fig. 6, it requires a symbol for the user to specify which word or box is the phrase. The defined symbol can be entered through the following modes, for example, spear! In the last box or last and last The explicit gesture associated with a box, the operation GUI deletes or marks the last box, or can be executed to enter any of the final definition symbols. In another example of Fig. 6, the frame is not violent to the user, but the user is far enough away from the stroke in front of the stroke by a stroke to indicate the start of a new word. The distance between the required distance or the size or area of the stroke being input acts as an implicitly defined symbol. More subtly, the user clicks on the mouse cursor or, for example, the tablet PC to move the current word input area to the adjacent word input area to open or move it to step 8 2 0 which will be described below as a two The box into which the words are entered. Words that are considered to be based on the words 'words' are corrected to provide the last one of the final definitions for the period in which the possible users continue to enter the table.丨Use the drop-down menu, the mode to make a _ after the different acknowledgment, the place input in the structuring structure 602 can be predetermined. At this time, the word 乞1 0 0 can be used to detect the stylus from the next word, and the prepared phrase is selected in the list of 17 1313425. As another example of an implicitly defined symbol, system 100 can assume that the input of a tone signal of a word signal is a defined symbol that constitutes the word. As an additional example of an implicitly defined symbol, system 100 can recognize that the user has paused for a period of time before starting a new word. The required time interval can be predetermined or proportional to the speed of the input stroke. Determine relative position

進行不完整詞組及其定義符號的使用者輸入(步驟 5 02 )之後,處理器1 06利用定義符號確定所接收的字和預 期詞組中任何間隙空白的相對位置以及預期詞組中的總字 數(步驟5 0 4 )。給定以下例子,其中規定的顯式定義符號 是輕敲指示筆,所有使用者輸入都在手寫數位化表面1 0 4 的一個區域進行。此時,系統1 0 0接收第一組字筆劃,然後 是輕敲-輕敲(tap-tap ),然後是第二組字筆劃,然後是輕 敲-輕敲-輕敲(tap-tap-tap)。在步驟504,處理器106將使 用者輸入解譯如下:(1 )第一個字,對應於第一組按鍵; (2 )第二個字,為空白;(3 )第三個字,對應於第二組 按鍵;(4 )第四個字,為空白;以及,(5 )第五個字, 為空白。因此,在步驟504的這個例子中,處理器106確定 使用者預期詞組中有五個字。在這個例子的另一種變型 中,末尾的三次輕敲被省略,處理器1 0 6隨後識別出詞和詞 組具有至少三個字長(708)。 尋找匹配參考詞組 18 1313425 在步驟5 Ο 6,處理器1 Ο 6將(所接收的字、空白以及總 字數(已知的話)所表示的)不完整詞組與詞組詞彙1 1 0 中的參考詞組比較,識別出包括該不完整詞組的所有參考 詞組。After performing the user input of the incomplete phrase and its defined symbol (step 5 02 ), the processor 106 determines the relative position of any gaps in the received word and the expected phrase and the total number of words in the expected phrase using the definition symbol ( Step 5 0 4). Given the following example, the explicit definition symbol specified therein is a tap stylus, and all user input is performed in an area of the handwritten digitized surface 1 0 4 . At this point, system 1 0 0 receives the first set of strokes, then tap-tap, then the second set of strokes, then tap-tap-tap-tap-tap- Tap). At step 504, the processor 106 interprets the user input as follows: (1) the first word corresponds to the first set of keys; (2) the second word is blank; (3) the third word corresponds to In the second group of buttons; (4) the fourth word is blank; and, (5) the fifth word is blank. Thus, in this example of step 504, processor 106 determines that there are five words in the user's expected phrase. In another variation of this example, the last three taps are omitted and processor 106 then recognizes that the word and phrase have at least three word lengths (708). Find matching reference phrase 18 1313425 In step 5 Ο 6, processor 1 Ο 6 will refer to the incomplete phrase (represented by the received word, space, and total number of words (known)) and the phrase vocabulary 1 1 0 Phrase comparison identifies all reference phrases that include the incomplete phrase.

如第7圖所示,序列7 0 0描述了執行步驟5 0 6的一個例示 性序列。概括來說,序列7 0 0在使用者提交的不完整詞組和 所儲存之詞彙1 1 0中的各個詞組之間進行逐字比較。更特定 來說,對於使用者預期詞組中的第一個字,處理器1 0 6試圖 在使用者輪入(例如筆劃和/或語音輸入)與映射Π 2 -1 1 3 之間找到匹配,以識別出已知字I中的哪一個有可能表示 使用者動作的完備化。換句話說,步驟7 0 2將第一個字的使 用者輸入與映射1 1 2-1 1 3比較,以找到有可能表示使用者輸 入的字(或排除不可能表示使用者輸入的字)。如果使用 者輸入了對應於一特定字的所有筆劃,則步驟702的最佳匹 配輸出將會是這個字。處理器1 〇 6針對使用者輸入詞組中的 每個字重複步驟7 〇 2 (如7 0 2 Α所示)。如果使用者跳過了 一個字(指示一個“空白”),則映射1 1 2 -1 1 3中的所有字都 可能與該字的使用者輸入匹配。 除了評估筆劃和語音資料,對於在映射1 1 2中包含有筆 劃順序的具體實施例而言,步驟7 0 2還可以考察筆劃順序。 例如,步驟7 0 2可以從1 1 1中排除字,要是使用者遵守的筆 劃順序與映射1 1 2中記錄的一種或多種筆劃順序中的任何 一種都不一致的話。 19 1313425As shown in Figure 7, the sequence 700 describes an exemplary sequence for performing step 506. In summary, the sequence 700 is compared verbatim between the incomplete phrases submitted by the user and the respective phrases in the stored vocabulary 110. More specifically, for the first word in the user's expected phrase, processor 106 attempts to find a match between the user's rounding (eg, stroke and/or voice input) and mapping Π 2 -1 1 3 , It is possible to identify which of the known words I is representative of the completion of the user's actions. In other words, step 702 compares the user input of the first word with the map 1 1 2-1 1 3 to find words that may indicate user input (or exclude words that are not likely to represent user input). . If the user enters all strokes corresponding to a particular word, then the best match output of step 702 will be this word. Processor 1 〇 6 Repeat step 7 〇 2 for each word in the user input phrase (as shown in 7 0 2 Α). If the user skips a word (indicating a "blank"), then all of the words in the mapping 1 1 2 -1 1 3 may match the user input of the word. In addition to evaluating strokes and phonetic data, step 7902 can also examine the stroke order for a particular embodiment in which the sequence of strokes is included in map 112. For example, step 7 0 2 may exclude words from 1 1 1 if the sequence of strokes followed by the user is inconsistent with any of the one or more stroke sequences recorded in map 1 1 2 . 19 1313425

在步驟704中,處理器1 06記錄由步驟702產生的匹配。 在步驟7 0 6中,處理器1 0 6產生可根據步驟7 0 4的匹配形成的 所有可能的字序列。給出以下例子,其中為便於討論, “A”、“B”和“C”為所使用的表意字的任意字母表示。對於 一個兩字序列,如果第一個字的匹配是“ A ’’和‘‘ B ’’,第二個 字的最佳匹配是“C”,則可能的字序列(706 )包括AC和 BC。如果存在匹配字,並且如果使用一個可選語言模型根 據使用頻率(如上面討論的)定製(order )字1 1 0,則步 驟706可以根據使用頻率所指示的順序支持(favor )、定 製、排列或限制輸出選項。In step 704, the processor 106 records the match generated by step 702. In step 706, processor 106 generates all possible word sequences that may be formed according to the match of step 704. The following examples are given, where "A", "B", and "C" are any letter representation of the ideogram used for ease of discussion. For a two-word sequence, if the match of the first word is "A '' and '' B '', and the best match for the second word is "C", then the possible word sequence (706) includes AC and BC If there is a match word, and if an optional language model is used to customize the word 1 1 0 according to the frequency of use (as discussed above), then step 706 may support (favor) according to the order indicated by the frequency of use. Format, arrange, or limit output options.

在步驟708中,處理器106獲取步驟706的字序列,將其 與詞組詞彙7 0 8比較,以查看是否存在匹配。針對步驟7 0 6 的每個可能字序列重複這一過程(7 0 8 A )。作為步驟7 0 8 的一個例子,使用者預期字序列的比較可侷限於詞彙1 1 0 中具有相同字數的詞組。在這個例子中,當使用者使用一 個五字序列時,步驟7 0 8僅有的輸出為來自詞彙1 1 0的五字 序列。在一個不同的例子中,處理器1 0 6搜索詞彙1 1 0,以 查找以使用者預期字序列開始(但包括更多在後字)的詞 組、以使用者預期字序列結束(但包括更多在前字)的詞 組、和/或中間某處具有使用者預期字序列並包含未加規定 的在前或在後字的詞組。 作為步驟7 0 2 - 7 0 8的替代方案,這些步驟可以組合成一 個直接將使用者輸入與詞組詞彙比較並將相關聯的詞組映 20 1313425 射與組成筆劃和/或語音資料比較的單一操作。在這個具體 實施例中,省略了字詞彙1 η,並將詞組詞彙11 〇分解成組 成筆劃(11 2 )和語音資訊(1 1 3 )。 在步驟7 1 0中,處理器1 0 6記錄、輸出、暫時儲存、識 別、加標記於、或以其它模式記下由步驟7 0 8產生的匹配。 提供輸出In step 708, processor 106 obtains the sequence of words of step 706, compares it to phrase vocabulary 7 0 8 to see if there is a match. This process is repeated for each possible word sequence of step 7 0 6 (7 0 8 A ). As an example of the step 708, the user expects that the comparison of the word sequences can be limited to phrases having the same number of words in the vocabulary 1 1 0. In this example, when the user uses a five-word sequence, the only output of step 7 0 8 is a five-word sequence from the vocabulary 1 1 0. In a different example, processor 1 0 6 searches for vocabulary 1 1 0 to find a phrase that begins with a sequence of user expected words (but includes more subsequent words), ending with a sequence of user expected words (but including The phrase with more precedents, and/or somewhere in the middle has a sequence of user expected words and contains unspecified preceding or following words. As an alternative to steps 7 0 2 - 7 0 8 , these steps can be combined into a single operation that directly compares the user input to the phrase vocabulary and compares the associated phrase group 20 1313425 with the composition of the stroke and/or speech data. . In this embodiment, the word vocabulary 1 η is omitted, and the phrase vocabulary 11 〇 is decomposed into a composition stroke (11 2 ) and a voice information (1 1 3 ). In step 71, the processor 106 records, outputs, temporarily stores, identifies, marks, or otherwise marks the match produced by step 708. Provide output

再參照第5圖,步驟710產生的輸出(第7圖)提供在步 驟5 0 6中提到的匹配參考詞組。接著,步驟5 0 8顯示步驟5 0 6 產生的詞組的輸出。如果只有一個可能的預期詞組,這將 為使用者提供一個確認使用者打算輸入該詞組的機會。如 果有多個詞組,系統1 〇 〇在步驟5 0 8中為使用者提供一個例 如透過利用資料輸入工具104從這一列表中進行選擇的交 互機會。Referring again to Figure 5, the output produced by step 710 (Fig. 7) provides the matching reference phrases mentioned in step 506. Next, step 506 displays the output of the phrase generated in step 506. If there is only one possible expected phrase, this will give the user an opportunity to confirm that the user intends to enter the phrase. If there are multiple phrases, System 1 为 provides a user with an opportunity to select from this list, for example, by using data entry tool 104, in step 508.

如果有多個詞組,可以根據使用頻率(如上面討論的) 使用一個可選語言模型定製來自1 1 1的推薦詞組,然後步驟 5 0 8可以按照這樣的順序定製輸出選項。在兩種情況下(即 一個或多個詞組),系統1 0 0接收使用者確認,或透過如輕 敲指示筆、按下按鈕或進行另外方便簡略的動作等動作接 收詞組選擇。在一個具體實施例中,經由預設選擇其中一 個詞組,並將某些使用者動作解譯為確認預設詞組。例如, 選擇標點符號或從第6圖的框6 0 4起開始寫入一個新詞組確 認預設詞組。 在一個具體實施例中,每當使用者提交一個新筆劃、 21 1313425If there are multiple phrases, you can customize the recommended phrase from 1 1 1 based on the frequency of use (as discussed above) using an optional language model, and then step 5 0 8 can customize the output options in this order. In either case (i.e., one or more phrases), the system 1000 receives the user confirmation or receives the phrase selection through actions such as tapping the stylus, pressing a button, or performing an otherwise convenient and abbreviated action. In one embodiment, one of the phrases is selected via a preset and some user actions are interpreted as a confirmation of the preset phrase. For example, select a punctuation mark or write a new phrase to confirm the preset phrase from block 6 0 4 of Figure 6. In a specific embodiment, whenever the user submits a new stroke, 21 1313425

Thus, system 100 continuously corrects its search for phrases that may match the user input. In this case, the user can continue to output strokes and/or voice material (5 02 ) until system 100 provides the (5 0 8 ) expected phrase in the fake output list. Specific Example Figure 8 shows a more specific sequence 800 to illustrate an example of how to perform an operation 500 in practice. At step 802, the user enters (and receives the system 1 0 0) an indication of which word to enter, i.e., the order in which the words are to be entered. This word is called the "current" word. In a sub, the user indication of the current word can be implied. For example, processing 1 0 6 can assume that the user's first set of actions is related to the first word in the phrase to be entered. In another example, the user satisfies step 802 by using the drop down menu other GUI components, indicating that the next word to be entered will be the first word, or the third word, or another word. The user-executed action of entering the current word is performed in step 804, the input of the caption stroke input, the input of the voice information describing the pronunciation of the current word, or both. The stroke input is accomplished by writing a stroke on the handwriting digitizing tool 104 with a stylus. Voice input is done by handwritten alphabetic characters, phonetic symbols, ruby words, tone inputs, or other numbers indicating the desired voice input. Tone input is accomplished by using a drop-down menu or other pitch input desired by the GUI device. As will be discussed in more detail below, each word step in the expected phrase is fixed and the group or the handwritten note is written as 22 1313425

The total input on a phrase may include only pen information, or a mixture of both. In addition, the user can have multiple words blank. However, the use of voice information is OK. It can be operated using only stroke input. As mentioned above, the user input (8 0 4 ) can be sequentially presented screens, (all-at-once screens, as in FIG. 6), or alternatively, a specific embodiment is shown 6) A box that can be stroked and voice input, or a box for word input. Applying one or more suitable handwriting recognition routines as part d of step 804 (or step 810 below), for example, processor 106 can calculate each input stroke or speech shot 1 1 2 -1 1 3 A handwritten recognition of a different hangar language word that is identified by an input is found in more detail in the following sources. No. 6,9,70,5,99, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. In an example of step 804, the user writes a Chinese step 804 in the box 604, 606, 608, 610, 612, which also implicitly satisfies the selection of the finger of step 802.

Applicable to the ideology Discussion: The US is a monolithic word that is sung by the tribute to the 02. In addition to being satisfied, because of the handwritten number 23 1313425 using t 104 in the box example, in step 806, the user enters the definition symbol after completing the word input (804). As described in detail above, defining the symbol input can be performed by any device that is substantially sufficient to perform the primary function of specifying where a word ends and where the next word begins. Therefore, the defined symbol of step 806 can be implicit or explicit.

在一個具體實施例中,序列8 0 0進行步驟8 0 6之後,繼 續步驟8 1 0。不過,如下面描述的,可以跳過步驟8 1 0,在 步驟8 1 2重新開始序列8 0 0。在所示步驟8 1 0中,處理器1 0 6 執行匹配操作,以有效地排除詞彙1 1 1中與步驟8 0 4、8 0 6 產生之使用者輸入不一致的字。至於詞彙111中餘下的字, 這些可能表示使用者在步驟804中已經輸入或正繼續輸入 的字。如上面討論的,步驟8 1 0的細節大體包括對來自步驟 8 0 4的使用者筆劃輸入和映射1 1 2進行匹配。執行該步驟, 是為識別使用者本來打算輸入的已知字1 1 1。如果使用者在 步驟8 0 4中輸入語音資訊,則步驟8 1 0在透過映射Η 3將使用 者的總輸入與一個或多個字1 1 1匹配時考慮該附加輸入。例 如,步驟8 1 0還可以考慮筆劃順序,要是這樣的訊息在映射 1 1 2中實現了的話。步驟8 1 0考慮單部首(radical )和多部 首字,例如,在使用者輸入了出現下一些單部首字和其它 多部首字中的筆劃的情況下。此外,如果當前字為空白或 被遺漏,則詞彙1 1 1的所有字都可能是匹配的。 在一個具體實施例中,進行步驟8 1 0之後,序列8 0 0繼 續步驟8 0 4或8 1 2,取決於是否輸入了“最終”定義符號。既 24 1313425In a specific embodiment, after sequence 800 has proceeded to step 806, step 8 1 0 is continued. However, as described below, step 8 1 0 can be skipped and the sequence 800 can be restarted in step 8 1 2 . In the illustrated step 810, the processor 1 0 6 performs a matching operation to effectively exclude words in the vocabulary 1 1 1 that are inconsistent with the user input generated by the steps 8 0 4, 8 0 6 . As for the remaining words in the vocabulary 111, these may indicate words that the user has entered or is continuing to input in step 804. As discussed above, the details of step 810 generally include matching the user stroke input from step 804 with the mapping 1 1 2 . This step is performed to identify the known word 1 1 1 that the user intended to input. If the user enters voice information in step 804, step 810 considers the additional input when matching the user's total input to one or more words 1 1 1 via mapping Η 3. For example, step 8 10 can also consider the stroke order if such a message is implemented in mapping 1 1 2 . Step 8 1 0 considers a single radical and a plurality of first words, for example, in the case where the user inputs a stroke in the next single first word and other multiple first words. In addition, if the current word is blank or missing, all words of the vocabulary 1 1 1 may be matched. In a specific embodiment, after step 8 1 0, the sequence 800 continues the step 8 0 4 or 8 1 2 depending on whether a "final" definition symbol is entered. Both 24 1313425

然序列8 Ο 0的目的是處理不完整字序列,所以當使用者完成 他/她的詞組輸入時,詞組輸入在其它方面可能並不總是清 楚的。因此,處理器1 0 6可以識別一種或多種指示使用者何 時完成輸入他/她的詞組的規定的肯定或隱含使用者輸 入。最終定義符號可以包括任何實現該目的的合適信號。 在一個例子中,在每個字後輸入定義符號,最終定義符號 包括另外的、打斷從而結束使用者的整個詞組輸入的區別 性使用者動作。 作為一個特定例子,當系統1 0 0接收透過一個框或顯示 器102的其它區域接連輸入的字,同時用規定的使用者輸入 輕敲序列打斷相鄰字時,系統1 0 0可以識別指示最後一個字 的不同區別性輕敲序列。相反,對於第6圖的多框具體實施 例,系統1 0 0可以識別由複選框、下拉選單、區別性指示筆 輕敲等之使用者完成指示的“全部完成”信號。The purpose of sequence 8 Ο 0 is to deal with incomplete word sequences, so when the user completes his/her phrase input, the phrase input may not always be clear in other ways. Thus, processor 106 can identify one or more specified positive or implicit user inputs indicating when the user has completed entering his/her phrase. The final definition symbol can include any suitable signal to accomplish this. In one example, a definition symbol is entered after each word, and the final definition symbol includes additional distinctive user actions that interrupt the entire phrase input of the user. As a specific example, when the system 1000 receives a word that is successively input through a frame or other area of the display 102 while interrupting the adjacent word with a prescribed user input tap sequence, the system 1 0 0 can identify the last indication. A different distinctive tapping sequence of words. In contrast, for the multi-frame embodiment of Figure 6, system 100 can identify the "completed all" signal of the user completing the indication by a checkbox, drop down menu, distinctive stylus tap, and the like.

在目前描述的具體實施例中,如果定義符號(8 0 6 )不 是最終定義符號,則步驟8 1 0回到步驟8 04 ( 8 1 0 A ),以接 收另一個字的使用者輸入。當接收到最終定義符號(8 1 0B ) 時,步驟8 1 0轉到步驟8 1 2。 在步驟812,使用者輸入可以在以下一個或兩者方面屬 不完整。在一個方面,輸入可以包括預期詞組中的簡略字。 例如,在一個五字詞組中,第二個和第四個字被遺漏。在 一個不同的方面,輸入可能不完整是因為包括預期詞組中 一個或多個不完整字的簡略筆劃。例如,使用者輸入可以 25 1313425 不包括五字詞組中第二、第三和第四個字的某些筆劃。 在步驟8 1 2,處理器1 0 6利用定義符號確定所接收的字 和預期詞組中的任何中間空白的相對位置以及預期詞組中 字的總數。該操作的例子在上面結合步驟5 0 4進行了討論。 在步驟8 1 4,處理器1 0 6產生可利用步驟8 1 0之匹配形成的所 有可能字序列,觀測步驟8 1 2的相對位置、順序和字數。該 操作的例子在上面結合步驟7 〇 6進行了討論。In the presently described embodiment, if the defined symbol (800) is not the final defined symbol, then step 810 returns to step 8 04 (8 1 0 A) to receive the user input for the other word. When the final definition symbol (8 1 0B ) is received, step 8 1 0 proceeds to step 8 1 2 . At step 812, the user input may be incomplete in one or both of the following. In one aspect, the input can include an abbreviations in the expected phrase. For example, in a five-word phrase, the second and fourth words are missing. In a different aspect, the input may be incomplete because of a short stroke that includes one or more incomplete words in the expected phrase. For example, the user input can include some strokes of the second, third, and fourth words in the five-word phrase. At step 8 1 2, processor 106 uses the definition symbols to determine the relative position of the received word and any intermediate blanks in the expected phrase and the total number of words in the expected phrase. An example of this operation is discussed above in connection with step 504. At step 814, processor 106 generates all possible word sequences that may be formed using the match of step 810, observing the relative position, order, and number of words of step 821. An example of this operation is discussed above in connection with step 7 〇 6.

進行步驟8 1 4後,處理器1 0 6將由所接收的字、空白和 總字數表示的每個可能字序列(來自8 1 4 )與詞組詞彙1 1 0 中的參考詞組比較,以識別包括該可能字序列的所有參考 詞組。換句話說,步驟8 1 6對照詞組詞彙1 1 0評估來自步驟 8 1 4的每個可能字序列,以排除不可能表示從8 1 4產生的字 序列的詞彙1 1 〇輸入。該操作的例子(8 1 6 )在上面結合步 驟506和700給定。After performing step 8 1 4, the processor 106 compares each possible word sequence (from 8 1 4 ) represented by the received word, space, and total word count with the reference phrase in the phrase vocabulary 1 1 0 to identify Includes all reference phrases for this sequence of possible words. In other words, step 816 evaluates each possible word sequence from step 8 1 4 against the phrase vocabulary 1 1 0 to exclude vocabulary 1 1 〇 input that is unlikely to represent a sequence of words generated from 8 1 4 . An example of this operation (8 1 6 ) is given above in conjunction with steps 506 and 700.

在步驟8 1 8,顯示器1 0 2接著提供步驟8 1 6產生的所有結 果參考詞組,供使用者檢查和識別他/她的預期詞組。這為 使用者提供了查看和確認系統1 〇 〇輸出的推薦詞組的機會 (步驟8 2 0 )。此外,如果步驟8 1 6產生了多個可能預期詞 組,則步驟8 2 0使使用者能夠選擇使用者實際所指的那個詞 組。使用者可以透過輕敲指示筆、按下按鈕或進行別的方 便簡略動作識別所期望的詞組。 可選地,序列8 0 0可以,例如在步驟8 2 0或更前面的步 驟中促使使用者編輯迄今已輪入的詞組。在該操作中,處 26 1313425At step 818, display 1 0 2 then provides all of the result reference phrases generated in step 816 for the user to check and identify his/her expected phrase. This gives the user the opportunity to view and confirm the recommended phrases output by the system 1 (step 8 2 0 ). In addition, if step 816 produces a plurality of possible expected phrases, then step 820 enables the user to select which phrase the user actually refers to. The user can identify the desired phrase by tapping the stylus, pressing a button, or performing other convenient actions. Alternatively, the sequence 800 may, for example, cause the user to edit the phrase that has been rotated so far in step 8 2 or earlier. In this operation, at 26 1313425

In this example + stroke mapping 1 1 2 includes a cross-reference between each word component and its constituent strokes. Similarly, mapping 1 1 3 includes a cross-reference between each word sub-composition and a phonetic representation, ie, a phonetic symbol, a (ruby) word, or other recognized system that represents a given word in accordance with pinyin such as Chinese pinyin. Written symbol of the pronunciation. Alternatively, the reference word component may be based on, for example, the general frequency of occurrence in the ideogram, the frequency of use of each radical, the score from the handwriting recognition engine, the use of the component Arranged by the frequency of use, etc. This context provides an example of a system 100 that supports the use of ideographic language components. In an exemplary use, similar to 520, the operator defines the symbol explicitly or implicitly. Define symbols to indicate the components of a word. Box 6 0 4 - 6 1 2, for example, you can use a block component instead of a word, or to receive both word components; box 6 0 4 - 6 1 2 can also use guide lines or other prompts Subdivision, into the sub-component. Furthermore, in step 502, a small number of sub-components that have hitherto been matched to the user input of the word can be displayed, for example, in a pop-up column, and the user can select a particular interpretation of the sub-component input, which is selected to supply the explicit definition symbol. The role. Then, step 504 determines the relative position of the word portion and the blank and the total number of sub-components. Using the word part to exclude the words that do not include the radical input by the user through early action can help speed up the step 5 0 6, ie word matching (step 7 0 2 ), the part of the list part of the note, the language word For better steps, it is also possible to pick up the points and make the sub-groups that make the selection discomfort. In another embodiment, 28 1313425, step 5 Ο 6 provides a higher priority for such matched phrases, in which a partial input word at a certain location contains a possible match with the partial input. One of the components. In one example, step 818 may provide the user with a recognized phrase having the indicated word component, providing the user with the option to edit one of the phrases or edit the phrase identified so far by word, word component, and the like. opportunity.
