Chinese character input method, keyboard and terminal applying same

Abstract

The invention discloses a Chinese character input method, a keyboard and a terminal applying same. The Chinese character input method is used for inputting Chinese characters on one keyboard containing at least 20 key bits, and comprises the following steps of: A. key name definition: A1. respectively designating monocase initial consonants in the Chinese Pinyin scheme to the different key bits on the keyboard; and simultaneously designating one of the key bits corresponding to the initial consonant J / Q / X as a key without consonant; and A2. respectively designating monocase vowels in the Chinese Pinyin scheme to the key bits corresponding to any initial consonants except for R / N / G / H; and B. defining according to the key names in the step A, responding to an input key sequence according to a predetermined principle, and realizing the inputting of the Chinese characters by the keyboard. The keyboard is arranged according to the Chinese character input method. The invention avoids repeated codes of Chinese character pronunciation and improves the Chinese character input efficiency on the premise of minimizing the needed key bits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a Chinese character input method, a keyboard and a terminal using the keyboard. Background technique [0002] Early mobile communication terminal keyboards such as figure 1 As shown, it is based on the standard 12-key telephone keyboard, by assigning 3-4 letters to each key to realize the input of English / Pinyin, and to switch between different letters by pressing a key repeatedly during input , the input efficiency is low and very inconvenient. [0003] Due to the explosive growth of mobile phone short message services, more efficient keyboard input methods for mobile terminals have emerged, and its representative is the T9 input method of TEGIC Corporation in the United States. On the basis of keeping the hardware of the traditional numeric keyboard unchanged, this input method does not require the inputter to accurately input each letter by improving the software, but uses the soft...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] With the further development of mobile communication technology, there are more and more applications of mobile terminals in data services such as mail services and instant messaging, and the above input methods have gradually failed to meet the requirements.

Especially for Chinese character input, when the above-mentioned input method is inputting Chinese characters, it is inevitable to produce repeated pronunciation codes, and the user must switch between letters to obtain the desired Chinese character pinyin characters, and then select Chinese characters, that is, the above-mentioned input method must pass through the pronunciation and Chinese characters are selected twice, which makes their input efficiency much lower than that of standard letter keyboards on PCs

However, there are too many keys on the full-letter keyboard, which limits its application on terminal equipment.
