Chinese input device and method using combination key

The present invention relates to a Chinese input device and a Chinese input method. More specifically, the device and method relate to a small keyboard, a touch pad, and a mobile electronic product capable of inputting Chinese (Chinese characters). Chinese input devices such as smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc., monitors, IPTV, etc., and Chinese input methods.

Due to the increasing use of computers and mobile electronic devices due to the development of the Internet and communication equipment, there is an urgent need for a method for inputting text faster.

Compared with Korean, Japanese, and English, Chinese requires more input of radicals and a variety of combinations between radicals. Therefore, it is more complicated and difficult to use keyboard input. At present, the method of inputting Chinese in mobile electronic products mainly includes: inputting the pronunciation symbol of the Chinese character by using an English letter, selecting a Chinese character that conforms to the English pronunciation symbol, and inputting the Chinese "five-stroke type" by direct input method using the pen portrait Korean. Or use the method of "head group combination" of the radicals.

Among them, the most commonly used method is to input Chinese into the English alphabet by means of pronunciation symbols. This is because Chinese people learn Chinese in the way of learning Chinese Pinyin.

However, in the case of Korean elementary school students who can input all Korean language through the keyboard, China learns 300 Chinese characters in each grade and only knows 1,800 words in Chinese in the sixth grade, so it is impossible to know the rest. Chinese, so there is a problem when entering Chinese in English. And there are only 418 voices in Chinese. Even with 418 voice inputs 42, 174 (1716 Kangxi Dictionary) Chinese characters, the average of each tone needs to be 100 words, the user has to find the one word required by the user in the 100 homophones. It is very inconvenient.

Although the prior art discloses a method of inputting Chinese after the computer keyboard combination radicals (for example, Patent Nos. 0 075 755, No. 0344947 and No. 0744747), it requires 202 keys and there are many inconveniences in use.

In the following, with reference to FIG. 3, the button key configuration structure of the small keyboard portion (ie, the keyboard) of the Chinese input device using the combination key and the concept of the radical or word and the operation sequence realized by the button button are performed for the embodiment of the present invention. Description. Fig. 3 is a view showing a conceptual structure of a small keyboard portion of an embodiment of the present invention.

Before the explanation, the term "head" as recited in the entire contents of the present invention refers to the smallest unit of a word constituting Chinese and is itself a Chinese character.

A small keyboard portion (100) of a Chinese input device using a combination key according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 includes a representative portion key portion (110), a general portion key portion (120), a combination key portion (130), and General key (140).

The representative part key portion (110) is composed of N button keys (hereinafter referred to as "representing a radical key"), and each representative part head key indicates two radicals (first and second representative radicals) and is selected by the user. (press, touch, click, etc.) Display the 2 radicals on the screen. Therefore, the representative radical key portion (110) indicates (2 × N) radicals. In the following, the (2 × N) radicals indicated by the representative radicals will be collectively referred to as "representative radicals". Here, the N button keys are implemented by a graphical user interface constructed by software or by hardware. Alternatively, a representative radical may be indicated on at least one of the N representative radical keys, and the indicated one radical is displayed on the screen when the button key is selected.

The general head key portion (120) is composed of K button keys (hereinafter referred to as "general part head keys"), and each general part head key indicates a radical, which is indicated when the user selects (press, touch, click, etc.) One radical is displayed on the screen. In the following, the radicals indicated by the general radicals are collectively referred to as "general radicals". Here, the K button keys can be implemented by a graphical user interface implemented in software or in a hardware manner.

When the general head key portion (120) grasps a representative portion of the user's selection, the maximum K general portion corresponding to the representative portion selected by the user is marked in each of the K general portion first keys. On the key. That is, the K general radical keys display up to K distinct general radicals based on the representative radicals displayed by the user. Therefore, the general radical key portion (120) displays at least (2 × N) general radicals and displays at most (2 × N) × K general radicals.

On the other hand, the number of radicals currently used in Chinese is 214, and recently it has gradually decreased to 189. However, the situation so far is based on the use of 214 radicals, so the following assumes that the Chinese radicals are 214. Of course, the entrants in the technical field can easily understand the situation when the Chinese radicals are 189 by the following description. Therefore, the case where the radicals are 189 will not be described below.

The Chinese input device using the combination key of the embodiment of the present invention displays 214 The radicals allow the user to selectively select 214 radicals. To this end, the small keyboard portion (100) of the embodiment of the present invention allows the user to select at least one of the 214 radicals through the representative radical key portion (110) and the general radical key portion (120) and display it on the screen. .

The horizontal arrangement is divided into the following two situations: a first horizontal arrangement consisting of two radicals or a radical and a word, three radicals or two radicals (or words) and one word (or The second level of the composition of the radicals. Moreover, the shape of the first horizontal arrangement and (a) of FIG. 4 The shape of the symbol f1 is the same, and the shape of the second horizontal array is the same as the shape of the symbol f2 given in (a) of FIG. 4 .

The vertical arrangement is divided into the following two cases: a first vertical arrangement consisting of two radicals or a radical and a word, three radicals or two radicals (or words) and one word (or The second vertical arrangement of the radicals. Further, the shape of the first vertical array is the same as the shape of the symbol f3 given in (a) of FIG. 4, and the shape of the second vertical array is the same as the shape of the symbol f4 given in (a) of FIG.

Moreover, the other permutations are divided into: the first combination, the radical or the word located at the center of the overall word, the second combination, the radical or the word located in the lower end of the overall word, and the third in the upper end of the overall word. The fourth combination, the radical or the word in which the combination, the radical or the word is located on the right side of the overall word occupies the fifth combination, the radical or the word on the upper side and the left side of the overall word, and the sixth combination and the upper part of the upper word and the right side of the overall word. The first or the word occupies the seventh combination of the lower side and the right side of the entire word, and the different radicals or words are arranged in the eighth combination of the upper right side and the lower left side of the entire word.

In this case, the shape of the first combination is the shape given by the symbol f5 in (a) of FIG. 4, the shape of the second combination is the shape given by the symbol f6 in (a) of FIG. 4, and the shape of the third combination is a figure. 4(a) is given the shape of the symbol f7, the shape of the fourth combination is the shape given by the symbol f8 in (a) of FIG. 4, and the shape of the fifth combination is the symbol f9 given in (a) of FIG. The shape of the sixth combination is the shape given by the symbol f10 in (a) of FIG. 4, the shape of the seventh combination is the shape given by the symbol f11 in (a) of FIG. 4, and the shape of the eighth combination is a figure. The shape of the symbol f12 is given in (a) of 4.

Finally, even if the same plurality of radicals or radicals and words are combined by one of the horizontal arrangement, the vertical arrangement, and the other combination, the desired word cannot be obtained, but the use of the other words is prevented. combination. It can display at least one of the repeated words of the same plurality of radicals or radicals combined with words. Prevent repeated combinations The shape is a shape given with a symbol f13 in (a) of Fig. 4 .

Therefore, according to (a) of FIG. 4, it is known that there are a total of 12 J key combinations, and a total of 13 pieces are required to prevent repeated combinations.

As another example, the J combination keys may be composed of three horizontally arranged combination keys, one vertically arranged combination key, and one other permutation combination key as shown in FIG. 4(b). In addition, one is added to prevent the repeated combination of keys and consists of four.

Here, as an example, the shape of one horizontally arranged combination key is the shape given by the symbol f1 in (a) of FIG. 4, and the shape of one vertically arranged combination key is the symbol f3 given in (a) of FIG. The shape, the shape of one of the other arrangement combination keys is a shape given with the symbol f9 in (a) of Fig. 4, and the shape of the repeated combination key is prevented from being given the shape of the symbol f13 in (a) of Fig. 4 .

The general key portion (140) is a button key formed on a general keyboard, and includes a space button, a shift button, a conversion button for converting a language, a number, a symbol, and the like.

Here, the shift button key is equivalent to a button key (141) indicating the shape of the arrow (see Fig. 3). The shift button is used to select a second representative portion that is formed on the upper side of the button key among the two representative radicals representing the radical key. Here, the button keys of the general key portion (140) are implemented by a software user interface implemented in a software manner or in a hardware manner.

On the other hand, the arrangement shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 is as follows. The general key portion (140) is located at the lower end of the small keyboard portion, and the representative portion key portion (110) is located directly above the general key portion (140) at the representative portion. The general portion head key (120) is located on the same horizontal line as the combination key portion (130) above the key portion (110), but the arrangement of the respective portions (110 to 140) is not limited thereto, and can be freely arranged by the producer.

Next, a specific example of the structural concept of the small keyboard portion of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, as shown by A, only two representative radicals may be indicated on the representative radical key or two representative radicals and the English indicating their pronunciation may be simultaneously indicated on the representative radical key as indicated by B. Further, as shown by C, two or more general radicals related to the respective representative radicals may be simultaneously indicated on the representative radical key. In addition, two representative radicals (1, 2) and a general radical related to the representative radical (1) and related representative parts may be simultaneously indicated on the representative radical key as on behalf of the radical key (111). The two general radicals of the first (2). In other words, it is possible to simultaneously mark more than zero general radicals indicated by the radical keys, and the number of general radicals related to the representative radicals (1, 2) can be different from each other.

The small keyboard portion of the embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above is applied to a keyboard, a mobile electronic product, a smart TV, a monitor, etc., and is used as an input device of a user. As an example, FIG. 7 shows a case where the small keyboard portion is applied to a mobile electronic product. Fig. 7 is a view showing a state in which a small keyboard portion of an embodiment of the present invention is actually applied to a mobile electronic product.

The Chinese input method of the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. Here, the Chinese input method is implemented by the Chinese generation department (300).

Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a Chinese input method of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the Chinese input method of the embodiment of the present invention includes an input method representing a radical, a general radical input method, and a combined word input method.

The input method of the representative radical includes selecting (touching, clicking, etc.) a method of inputting the first representative radical by representing the radical key as shown in (a-1), and simultaneously selecting the shift button as shown in (a-2) The key (140) and the method of inputting the second representative radical by representing the radical key.

The general radical input method includes a method of selecting a first partial key and selecting a general partial key associated with the first key of the representative part to input a general radical, as shown in (b-1), such as (b-2) The method of selecting the general first head key and inputting the general radical is selected after the second representative portion first key is selected. At this time, if there is a necessary word on the general radical key portion (120), the necessary word can be input by the method of (b-1) or (b-2) without inputting the general radical. Here, when the general radical key (or the necessary word) related to the selected representative radical key is input after the representative radical key is selected, the representative radical representing the radical key is displayed on the screen. The radical becomes the general radical of the general radical key (or must-have word) and is displayed on the screen.

The combined word input method includes a method of selecting a representative radical key as shown in (c-1), selecting at least one representative radical key, and then selecting a combination key to input a combined word, as shown in (c-2). At least one method of inputting a combined word by selecting at least one general radical key after selecting a radical key and then selecting a desired combination key.

Moreover, the combined word input method includes a method of selecting a general radical key as shown in (c-3), selecting at least one general radical key, and then selecting a composite key to input the combined character, as shown in (c-4). The method of selecting at least one general radical key, selecting the necessary word, and then selecting a combination key to input the desired combination word. In the above methods (c-1) to (c-4), it is also possible to change the order of input between the representative radical key, the general radical key, and the necessary character.

In the above combined word input method, the selection of the representative radical key is described collectively in one of (a-1) and (a-2), and the selection of the general radical key is (b-1) and ( One of b-2) is described collectively.

A specific example of the Chinese input method explained with reference to FIG. 8 will be described below with reference to FIG. Line description. Figure 9 is a diagram showing a Chinese input method of a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 9, the example of the radical input and the general radical input are very simple. Therefore, the example of the combined word input is mainly shown, and the button key arrangement structure shown in FIG. 5 and Table 1 are explained. .

In Fig. 9, as shown in (a), selecting "wood" and then selecting "sub" and then selecting the first combination key (f1) can input the word "杍". Specifically, when the user selects to represent the radical "wood", the screen displays "wood", and the user then selects the "female" on behalf of the radical to display "wood" and "female" on the screen. The user then selects the "female" associated with "female" and converts "female" into "child" and displays "wood" and "child" on the screen. Finally, the user selects the first key combination (f1) to display the "杍" combination of "wood" and "child" levels on the screen.

As shown in (b), selecting "wood" and "child" as in (a) and selecting the second combination key (f3) will display "李" on the screen. Select the representative part "wood" as shown in (c), select the representative part "mouth" and then select the representative part "force", then select the first combination key (f1) to input (display) "wood", The combination of “mouth” and “force” level.

Similarly, as shown in (d), the representative group "wood" is sequentially input three times and then the third combination key (f3) is selected to input (display) "wood", "wood" and "wood" vertical combination. `森" word.

As shown in (e), after selecting the representative "wood", inputting the representative radical "day" and then selecting the third combination key (f9), the "east" of the combination of "wood" and "day" can be input (displayed). Similarly, as shown in (f), after selecting the radical "port", input the representative radical "large" and then select the third combination key (f9) to input (display) the combination of "mouth" and "large". because".

However, as shown in (a) and (b), the same plurality of radicals are formed, but when the arrangement is different, the arrangement-based combination key can be distinguished to easily input the required Chinese, but if the same plural radicals are used It is not easy to input when it is constructed and has the same arrangement.

In order to avoid duplication of Chinese consisting of the same plurality of radicals as described above, the present invention discloses a fourth combination key, that is, a prevention of repeated combination of keys (f13).

When the second combination key (f3) is selected after inputting the radical "one" and the representative radical "large" as shown in (g), the "day" composed of "one" and "big" is displayed. . When the representative group "one" and the representative radical "large" are input as shown in (h), and the fourth combination key (f13) is selected, a "f" composed of "one" and "large" is displayed.

The fourth combination key can be easily input by preventing a plurality of Chinese characters composed of the same plurality of radicals from being mutually repeated, and can be quickly input.

That is, the "block" can be input (displayed) by sequentially inputting the first combination key (f1) by sequentially inputting the representative radicals "阝", "立立", "日", and "十" as shown in (i). However, by using the fourth combination key (f13), the representative part heads "阝" and "立立" can be sequentially input as shown in (j), and the fourth combination key (f13) can be selected and input (displayed). As another example, by selecting the representative "head" and "彡" as shown in (k) and selecting the fourth combination key (f13), the "show" can be input (displayed).

On the other hand, it is possible to input the order of input of the radicals (or necessary characters) input by the above (a) to (k) arbitrarily.

The Chinese is input through (a) to (k) as described above, and the following is a description of the case where a plurality of Chinese are input through (1). When the user needs to input "sub-good" as shown in (1), the user selects the general "head" related to "female" after inputting the representative "female" and converts the "female" word into " The child is displayed. Then, the user presses the 4th key combination (f13) to indicate that the input of a Chinese character is completed. Then, the user enters "female" and then selects the general "head" associated with "female" and converts the word "female" into "child", and then selects the representative "female". Up to this point, "children" are displayed on the screen.

In this state, when the user selects the first combination key (f1), the "child" of the "child child" input after the fourth combination key (f13) indicating the input is combined is combined. After the generation of "good".

On the other hand, the Chinese input device using the combination key in the embodiment of the present invention selects the combination key after inputting the "child child" without inputting the input key, and also knows that the child is known by the "child child". The constituent Chinese characters do not exist and the "children" other than the first input radicals are used to generate "good". Further, the Chinese input device using the combination key of the embodiment of the present invention can use one of the button keys constituting the general key portion (140) as the input for the input without using the input fourth combination key (f13). The completed button button (for example, a blank button button, etc.) is used, or the button button for completing the input can be additionally added. Of course, it is also possible to automatically determine that the input of the word is completed when a preset time elapses after the representative of the radical or the general radical is selected.

Next, an arrangement principle of the representative heads constituting the representative head key portion (100) in the button key arrangement structure of the small keyboard portion (100) of the embodiment of the present invention shown in Fig. 5 will be described.

Arrangement is very important in order for the user to easily learn the representative radicals on the keyboard and use them easily. Therefore, the alignment principle is created as shown below.

Like the standard keys, the representative heads are arranged in three columns. In terms of thought, the idea of taking people as the mainstay and the idea of the five elements (Firewood and Gold) are taken as the benchmark. In terms of function, the order of the five strokes (丶, 一, 丨, 丿, B) and the appearance and meaning of the radicals themselves are considered. Arranged after the position with the other radicals.

1. Column 1 above

1) Put the person in the center of the key to express the idea of being human-centered, and the shape in which the herringbone is spread to the sides is used as the basis for the arrangement of the remaining radicals.

2) 丶 is the beginning of the five strokes, so it is placed in the middle of the first column and symbolizes the appearance of input with a finger. Eight is the increase in the radicals of the stroke and most of the time when combined with other radicals Located above, so placed in the center of the 1 column.

3) The heart and the scorpion are in the same form and the point (丶) is extended. The birth means that the human being is thinking about the food and clothing in the heart at any time in the life, so it is placed there.

4) The second, third and fourth representative radicals on the left side of column 1 are the heads of the food and clothing. The raft is a roof and the roof is located above the house. The raft is the head of the person and is the same as the square raft, so it is placed there.

5) Because of the meaning of 冖 (covering) and 宀 (house) and adding strokes, it is placed there.

6) The factory and the wide space indicate the cave or house with a large space, so it is adjacent to the 宀 (house); when the factory is combined with the other heads, it is combined in the upper left side, that is, the direction of the entire keyboard, so it is placed there. .

7) The word of fire is the appearance of firewood next to the person in the middle, so it is placed on the same key with the eight characters. As the spark of the fire rises, it is placed in the first column above the three columns.

8) Since people think of the "mountain" when lifting the height, it is of course placed there; the claws are shaped like a mountain upside down and combined with the other parts when they are combined in the crown, so they are placed there.

9) The day and the month are also placed in the first column because they are at a high altitude. Tianhe added the radicals of the strokes for each day and month, so they are placed on the same key.

10) B (Bird) is placed in the first column because it is flying at a high altitude. Because it has the same character as the bird's flight, and the 弋 and Ge are also combined at the place where they are combined with other radicals, they are placed on the entire keyboard. The end of the upper right corner.

2. The second column in the middle

11) One and one are placed there according to the writing order.

12) The tenth and the earth are the words that are combined with the earth, so they are placed there.

13) The big man is the appearance of his arms, so he is placed there; the female one is also the word that shaped the arm, so it is placed on the same key with the big one.

14) The 阝 is a word that has been pictized, so it is placed in the second column that is lower than the mountain but still at a higher position, and is combined on the left side when combined with other radicals, so it is placed there. The 厶 is the shape of the arm that bends. Compared to the case where the arm is open, the squat is the curved shape of the arm, so it is placed adjacent to each other, and the arm is placed in the middle of the body structure, so it is placed there.

15) Jade and Gold are arranged in the order in which they are added from the "soil". These radicals are related to the meaning of the work.

16) Bu and Zhi and 彳 are located at the position where the strokes are added from the 丨.

17) Knives and Forces and Work means holding a knife with a ruler (work) and working hard (force) with adjacent mud (soil), ball (jade) and iron (gold), so it is placed there.

3. Column 3 below

18) The water and wood in the middle of the third column are placed in the middle of the third column due to the shape of the middle of the word. The water is placed on the left side according to the order of the five rows, and the wood is adjacent to the water because it is followed. Place the ground on the right side.

19) 辶 (meaning of squatting) is a flowing water. The grass grows like water through the water and allows the ear to bow, so it is arranged with the wood.

20) The foot means that the figure walks with the foot like a running water, and the hand moves together when the foot moves, so it is placed on the same key. The radicals of the second column (large, 厶 _) Compared to the body position, the foot is in a lower position and is therefore placed there.

21) The 丿 is a pattern that flows from the top to the bottom, so it is placed at the end of the lower left corner of the key; the car represents a pulley carrier that moves through the rotation of the wheel, like water, also moves like a foot, and is moved by the hand, so Here.

22) The mouth and the mouth express the function of the mouth and mouth, so they are arranged together. Speak carefully and have a good weight, so configure it to the column below.

23) Seeing and seeing the eyes (mesh) carefully watched everywhere (see), so they are configured together. It is made up of strokes and is therefore arranged adjacently.

24) The configuration principle of the mouth and the door and the horse is similar to that of the side of the side. It takes a meaningful connection. It is necessary to ride the horse when going out or going abroad, so it is placed there.
