Keyboard and Chinese character input method

Abstract

The invention discloses a Chinese input keyboard and an input method capable of decreasing keystroke times of Chinese input. The keyboard comprises that keypresses based on initial consonants of a scheme for the Chinese phonetic alphabet are arranged, and keypresses based on final sounds of the scheme for the Chinese phonetic alphabet are arranged. The method comprises the following steps that: the initial consonants are input by pressing down the keypresses provided with the initial consonants based on the scheme of the Chinese phonetic alphabet; the final sounds are input by pressing down the keypresses provided with the final sounds based on the scheme for the Chinese phonetic alphabet; and the input initial consonants and final sounds are identified as corresponding Chinese characters based on the scheme of the Chinese phonetic alphabet. The keyboard and the corresponding input method can apparently improve the input efficiency of Chinese characters, have more remarkable efficiency improvement particularly when a large quantity of text Chinese characters are input, do not change the prior psychological model of a user, and support the single-hand quick operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a keyboard suitable for Chinese character input and an input method, in particular to a Chinese character input keyboard and an input method capable of reducing the number of keystrokes for Chinese character input. Background technique [0002] Portable devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) are usually equipped with a numeric keypad (keypad). Due to the limited size of the portable device, the numeric keypad consists of the numbers 0 to 9 and several other keys. By setting the position of each letter on the numeric keyboard in advance, the Chinese phonetic alphabet can be input by inputting a series of numeric keys, and then Chinese characters can be input. [0003] Figure 26 It is a layout diagram of a numeric keypad of an existing mobile phone. like Figure 26 As shown, letters are respectively arranged on the number keys 2-9. Among them, the letters "abc" are arranged on the button "2", the le...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This input method can improve the input efficiency by pressing keys with both hands to input a large amount of text, but it is not suitable for inputting a large number of Chinese characters, and it is also difficult to operate with one hand

The reason is as follows: when operating the Qwerty / Sure Type keyboard with one hand, the memory load of the thumb is far too heavy, which does not match the user’s mental model of Qwerty / Sure Type operation, resulting in too long cognitive time and extremely low efficiency , even worse than the traditional digital key input
