Problems solved by technology

[0008] Apparently, existing methods for inputting ideographic characters with phrase prediction can only help input less than half of the characters in a sentence
[0009] Also, phrase prediction is pretty much useless if phrases can be entered directly via this input method
[0010] Also, typing punctuation is a pain in the ass

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0030] Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for inputting ideographic characters into a handheld device according to one embodiment of the present invention;

[0031] At step 101, processing begins.

[0032] At step 102, a symbol is received from an input device of a handheld device. For example, a handheld device may be a mobile phone, a PDA, or the like. For example, the input means may be a keypad or scroll wheel mounted on the hand-held device, or any other equivalent means for entering symbols into the hand-held device.

[0033] In step 103, a flag is set to 0. This flag is used to determine whether phrase prediction is enabled. See step 111 and step 112. However, this flag is optional, and the phrase prediction function (step 112) can always be enabled. The method of inputting ideographic characters into a handheld device can be accelerated if the phrase prediction function is only enabled unde...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to handheld devices, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for entering ideographic characters into handheld devices. Background technique [0002] Ideographic characters are commonly used in Asian languages ​​such as Chinese and Japanese. Developers of handheld devices have worked to design methods and apparatus for entering ideographic characters into handheld devices. [0003] A conventional device for entering data into a handheld device is a keypad which typically has only 12 to 24 keys, 10 of which are used to enter the numbers 1 to 9 and 0. Keypads are typically used on telephones, mobile phones and similar handheld devices. A scroll wheel, rotary wheel or wheel can also be used to input ideographic characters into the handheld device. Handwriting recognition technology can also be used in handheld devices for inputting ideographic characters. [0004] In order to enter ideographic characters into a han...
