Description

The method of high-speed character input device and a computer keyboard or similar apparatus BACKGROUND _¾

The present invention relates to a method for inputting Chinese characters into a computer or the like and a keyboard used therefor. Background technique

The existing computer (Chinese character) input methods (including: phonetic code, shape code, and phonetic code) are all based on a one-click method, that is, a coder who inputs a Chinese character code by pressing one key, and must press Sequential typing, so most Chinese characters require multiple keystrokes to complete the input. In this way, multiple keystrokes obviously increase the time to enter Chinese characters and reduce the speed of input. Disclosure of invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-key tapping sound that can completely overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and double the speed of inputting Chinese characters. It can be used by both professional input personnel and general personnel. It is scientific, reasonable, and easy to learn. A method for inputting Chinese characters with rhyme and spelling and a keyboard device.

The object of the present invention is achieved by:

Set up a keyboard with 24 keys. The keyboard is symmetrical on the left and right, with 12 keys each on the left and right. In addition, the code assignments to the key positions are also left and right symmetrical. The ^two combinations of I and ² keys are used to represent 21 initials and ³⁴ finals in Chinese Pinyin, respectively. These initials and finals are used to represent more than 40Q syllables in Chinese. The left and right hands control the 12 keys of the left and right, respectively, and can perform keyboard operation at the same time. Use one hand to multi-press and hit the vowel and vowel key combination of Chinese characters so that their sounds and rhymes are connected to form a Chinese syllable. Use both hands to multi-press and hit the vowel and vowel key combination of two Chinese syllables at the same time to make it The combination of sound and rhyme can form a set of two-syllable words.

The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures. Brief description of the drawings

Figure ³ : A syllable table composed of three tables, which represents the keys or key combinations corresponding to the sounds and vowels of Chinese pinyin and the syllables corresponding to the syllables of the phonetic and vowels;

Fig. 4 is a correspondence table of Mandarin phonetic symbols and keys or key combinations. Best way to implement this method

First, referring to FIG. 1, this figure shows a keyboard device used in the Chinese character input method of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the key disk shares 24 keys, the left and right sides each have 12 keys and are symmetrical to each other, and the code designation of the 12 keys on the left and right sides is also left and right symmetrical. The 24 keys are arranged as follows: there are three rows above and below, the top row and the second row each have 10 keys, and the bottom row has a key, which is set close to the center. Seen from the center to both sides, the top row of keys are represented by letters: D, G, I, N, A, and the next row of keys are represented by letters: Z, W, ϋ, Ε, 0, bottom A row of keys is represented by letters X and B, respectively. To make it easier to remember, you can read the notes in the following order:

O AE NUI WGZDB X XB DZ GWI UNE AO

left hand right hand

(Read from right to left) (Read from left to right) Among the 12 left and right symmetrical keys, 4 keys are defined as initial keys, 6 keys are defined as final keys, and 2 keys are defined as flag keys. The corresponding codes of 4 initial keys are ^ D, G, Z, the corresponding codes of 6 final keys are E, I, N, 0, U, and the corresponding codes of 2 flag keys are X, B, where the flag key X also doubles Consonant key.

Establish a fixed one-to-one correspondence relationship between the initials, finals, and logo keys and their key combinations in the keyboard with the initials and finals in Chinese Pinyin. The specific correspondence is shown in Figure 2-A and Figure 2-B and Figure 2-C. Figure 2-A is the correspondence between initials and keys (or key combinations), and Figure 2-B is the correspondence between finals and keys (key combinations). The uppercase letters in the figure represent keys or key combinations, and the lowercase letters in parentheses are the initials or finals represented by the keys or key combinations. In addition, ^ z, c, s in initials and eng and ing in finals also have a compatible corresponding key, that is, these initials and finals are in addition to those listed in Figure 2-A and Figure 2-B above. In addition to the corresponding key combination, there is another corresponding key combination in the present invention. The corresponding relationship between these sounds, finals and compatible keys is shown in Figure 2-C. The capital letter in the left column in the figure is the original corresponding key combination. One column is the compatible key (or key combination), and the lowercase letters in the parentheses in the right column are the 5 initials and 2 finals mentioned above. In this way, more than 400 syllables corresponding to the vowels and vowels in Chinese Pinyin by the I ² keys and key combinations are represented by the 3-syllable table. Or key combination), the upper column is rhyme The mother and the corresponding key (or key combination), the lower case letters in the figure are the sounds and vowels of Chinese pinyin, and the upper case letters are the keys or key combinations. The contents in the table are the key combinations of Chinese syllables that represent sound and rhyme.

According to the correspondence between the initials, finals, and keys or key combinations described above, when inputting Chinese characters, use the left and right hands to control the 12 keys on both the left and right sides, respectively. Press the keys or key combinations corresponding to the sound and rhyme of the two Chinese character syllables respectively, and then connect the sound and rhyme to output the Chinese character syllable represented by such key combination. (Words, phrases), thus realizing high-speed input of Chinese characters.

For example: To input "Yawei Chinese shorthand recorder series", just left and right hand and hit the following keys or key combinations respectively, use the left hand keyboard and key combination on the left side of the colon, and use the right hand keyboard on the right side of the colon. By clicking, the colon does not need to be entered:

IA: UE ZUEO: UN XDZU: Li: GI XI: XDIE can complete the input.

In order to distinguish the same Chinese character syllables and reduce the re-coding rate, the present invention uses a stroke-definition method, a word-definition method, a word mark method, and an abbreviated-definition method to solve this problem.

1) Stroke definition method: the keyboard controlled by the left hand of the left and right symmetrical disks is used as a stroke number mark keyboard for inputting the number of strokes of a desired Chinese character; the keyboard controlled by the right hand is still used as a pinyin keyboard for input Chinese character syllable. When both hands are pressed at the same time, only the Chinese character that outputs the right pinyin key is output. The left-hand stroke number flag key plays the role of distinguishing homophones, that is, the Chinese character in which the number of strokes is the same as the number of strokes determined by the left-hand key is determined among many Chinese characters in the right-hand input syllable. The correspondence between the left-hand stroke number mark key combination and the stroke number is as follows:

XWI XWI0 Eleven

XBWE XBWEO Twelve Pens Beautiful XWNO Thirteen Pens

XDZW XDZWO Fourteen Pens

Li li 0 fifteen

XWE0 XWUEO Sixteen strokes

XBGWI XBGWI0 Seventeen strokes

XBW XBWO Eighteen Pens

XGW XGWO 19 pens

XBZW XBZWO twenty pens XWIEO 21 strokes Chinese characters strokes above 21 are determined with 21 strokes.

For example: When using stroke number to determine the character, if you left-click and press the "ZN0" key, when you left-click and press the "XBW" (eight strokes) key, the word "Zhang" is output. If you left-click and click "XWI0" (eleven "Pen" key, the word "chapter" is output.

² ) Word-fixing: According to the correspondence between the above sounds, vowels, and keys or keys, you can type a set of two-syllable words at once by pressing the left and right hands at the same time, which has the characteristics of word-fixing. The two-syllable word is determined. If only one word in the word is needed, just use the mark code key "W" to delete the unnecessary words in the syllable words; the left hand mark key deletes the left word, and the right hand mark key deletes the right word. Chinese character.

For example: Left-hand and hit the "BGU" key, while left-hand and hit the "BDA0" key, that is, type a set of two-syllable words "Grape" at once, and then immediately use the "W" mark key to delete unnecessary words, if only "Portuguese" Use the right-hand mark key "W" to delete the word "Grape"; if you only need the word "Grape", use the left-hand mark key "W" to delete "Portuguese".

³ ) Commonly used word mark method: That is, according to the corresponding relationship between the above sounds, vowels, and keys and key combinations, type the mark key "X" or "W" with the left hand, and simultaneously press the syllable code key of the desired Chinese character at the same time to teach the pen Better than the country
