The method comprises the following steps that: stroke keys representing the direction of strokes are adopted to input the strokes of Chinese characters, wherein, the strokes represented by the stroke keys at least comprise the strokes from upper-left to lower-right, from up to down, from upper-right to lower-left, from left to right and from lower-left to upper-right, and are provided with more than one direction. A display can display the Chinese characters matched with the current input strokes in a row, and displayhomophones of a selected Chinese character in the Chinese characters shown in the row in a column. The device can comprises twelve keys, wherein, six of the keys representing the direction of the strokes are used to input the strokes, four direction shift keys are used to search the needed Chinese characters, and two function keys are also provided. The method and the device are easy to learn anduse, and have quick input speed of Chinese characters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and device for inputting Chinese characters, in particular to a method for inputting Chinese characters via electronic products such as computers and telephones. Background technique [0002] Compared with other languages, such as English, Japanese and Korean, it is more difficult to enter Chinese characters into electronic media (such as computers and telephones). This is because Chinese is derived from pictographs and consists of multiple parts, plus There are many strokes on it, so it is not convenient to use the general Chinese input method. [0003] There are many technical solutions related to using computers to input Chinese characters at present. For example, adding the Chinese character database into the hardware, or installing the Chinese character database into the memory of the computer via a CD, Chinese characters can be input through the predetermined program of the computer. Now, there are already hund...

Problems solved by technology

Now, there are already hundreds of computer input methods for Chinese characters, and each method has its characteristics and advantages, but there is a common disadvantage, that is, the input speed is slow, and it takes more than ten keys or even the entire standard keyboard to write enter

Also, users have to keep in mind many radicals and ways to decompose Chinese characters, so learning and remembering how to use them is very difficult

[0004] For example, common Chinese character input methods include: font input methods (such as Cangjie code or simple code), the advantage is that there are fewer repeated codes, and the disadvantage is that multiple keys are needed, so this type of method is not suitable for mobile phones. In addition, users need to learn how to Divide the text into small parts; the pinyin input method has the advantage that it can be used only by knowing the correct pronunciation, but the disadvantage is that it is difficult for users to accurately piece together the pronunciation of Chinese characters with English letters, especially if the pronunciation of Mandarin is not standard Users, such as the nine tones of Cantonese, will increase the difficulty accordingly; the code input method has the advantage of avoiding repeated codes and only needs to press four digits, but the disadvantage is that it is impossible to remember the code of each Chinese character; the stroke input method has the advantages of Input in the most instinctive way, just like writing, the disadvantage is that you need to press the keys many times, and there is also the problem of repeated codes
