Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, for a larger number of coded characters, it may not be the best layout to simply arrange the individual coded characters in their inherent order
For example, there are 37 phonetic symbols in Chinese. If these 37 phonetic symbols are distributed on the keys of the small keyboard according to the inherent order, the following problems may occur: some keys are frequently used, causing these keys to The wear and tear on the hardware is very serious, while other keys have been idle for a long time and cannot be used effectively

Embodiment 1

[0030] The embodiment of the present invention considers that while satisfying the regularity of the keyboard layout, it should also satisfy the balance of the use of the keyboard, that is, the frequency of use of each key should not differ too much, otherwise it will cause physical wear and tear of some keys. serious. Therefore, the following steps can be followed for key layout:

[0031] Step 1: Distribute the 37 phonetic symbols on 9 keys according to the inherent order; and ensure that the number of initials on each key is two or three, the number of finals is one or two, and the number of intermediates is zero or one. That is, not all initial consonants, final vowels or intermediate consonants can be found on each key position.

[0032] Specifically, when they are distributed in columns according to the inherent order, because people will naturally break sentences when reading and memorizing the 37 phonetic symbols, that is, they will pause when they read a certain phon...

Embodiment 2

[0068] When performing Chinese input, the user needs to first input a coded string, and then the input method system converts the coded string into a corresponding text. For example, when using a keyboard with English letters for Chinese input, if the user wants to use the pinyin input method to input the Chinese character "中", the following key sequence needs to be entered: 94664; but since these keys also represent other letters, Therefore, the reasonable combination of letters given by the input method (determining the rationality of the combination of letters according to Chinese Pinyin) not only includes "zhong", but also includes "xiong" and the like. The user needs to first select the pinyin "zhong" of the text to be input from the letter combination, and then select the Chinese character "中" to be input from the corresponding candidates. That is to say, repeated codes will be generated in the process of converting through the key sequence, and if the repeated code rate...

Abstract

The invention discloses a keyboard for inputting Chinese characters. By distributing the phonetic symbols roughly in columns according to the inherent order, the user is easily familiar with which key position of the small keyboard the different coded characters are located on, which is convenient for the user to memorize; at the same time, due to The number of initials on each key is two or three, the number of finals is one or two, the number of intermediates is zero or one, and the most frequently used phonetic symbols are roughly distributed in different key positions Therefore, each key has a better balance in frequency of use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of character input, in particular to a keyboard for inputting Chinese. Background technique [0002] For some portable electronic devices, due to the limitation of the keyboard volume, the number of keys is usually relatively limited. For example, there are usually 12 keys used to represent numbers and "*" and "#" on a portable electronic device. , this type of keyboard is often called a keypad. When it is necessary to use a small keyboard to input text, it is necessary to use limited keys to represent characters. For example, for English, usually 26 English letters are distributed on 8 numeric key positions, wherein the "2" key position represents "abc", the "3" key position represents "def" and so on. [0003] For English letters, since the number of letters is relatively small, in order to facilitate users to be familiar with which key position different letters are located on the keypad, in the prior a...
