Problems solved by technology

However, these methods require multiple keyboard operations for each input of a glyph, which reduces the efficiency of input
[0004] In addition, in most existing hand-held devices with numeric keypads that can input Chinese and English, such as mobile phones, Chinese and English are different input modes. In order to write this text that contains Chinese characters and English words at the same time, the user have to change input mode frequently
The input operation at this time is very inconvenient, especially considering the fact that there are usually several different input modes available, and changing from one input mode to another requires several key presses

Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 A standard numeric keypad is shown, which includes 10 numeric keys 0-9, two symbol keys, and four movement keys 11-14 left, upper, right, and lower, wherein the numeric keys 2-9 are not included in the numbers represented by themselves. In addition, a plurality of letters are assigned to each, and the numeral keys 0 and 1 are also assigned symbols "@" and "+". For the sake of clarity, the word shape is used in this application to refer to numbers, letters, symbols and the like. It should be pointed out that the present invention is fully applicable to other keypads with different fonts and different distribution methods, for example, the fonts may also include Chinese strokes, letters or strokes in other languages, and the like. For simplicity, the following implementations are based on figure 1 A standard numeric keypad is shown for illustration.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for mixed input of different types of fonts. In the method and device of the present invention, by treating different types of font combinations, such as Chinese pinyin syllables, English words, number strings, etc., as the same legal font combination, the mixed input of different font combinations without switching input modes is realized, Thus, the efficiency of input can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for improving the usability of text input via a keypad, and more particularly, to a method and device for performing mixed input of different types of glyphs through a numeric keypad without changing the input mode. Background technique [0002] In a standard numeric keypad, each physical key is generally assigned multiple glyphs. For example, in most mobile phones commercially available in Europe, each key is usually assigned a number and several letters or other symbols. Generally, the user is required to switch between "input modes" or use other methods to distinguish multiple input of different glyphs, such as number mode, uppercase letters, lowercase letters. Subsequently, a pre-stored database (or dictionary) is used to match a sequence of key presses to a specific input string or set of words. [0003] In the handheld devices in the prior art, when performing text input through the digitized keypad, va...
