Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the characteristics of Chinese itself, the mapping relationship between input sequences and Chinese characters is not unique, and most encoding methods cannot achieve one-to-one mapping from input sequences to Chinese characters
All words corresponding to an input sequence can be called candidates, and an input sequence often corresponds to many candidates, so it is sometimes very troublesome for users to find the candidate they want among many candidates. It may take several very careful page turning to find, which affects the user's input efficiency

example 1

[0115] The user wants to enter the name "Liu Xuan", so he enters the pinyin string "liuxuan", and the word "Liu" appears directly on the candidate home page, so he can directly select the word, but when he selects "Xuan", he finds it difficult to find, but he thinks The common phrase for this word is "rotate", so start the filter mode and enter the filter sequence "z".

[0116] Arrange the initial pinyin string "xuan" and the screening string "z" here, since "xuan" has only one syllable, and the screening string "z" also has only one syllable, so N=2, M=2, there are only two permutations possible , the following lists two permutation information and corresponding group word candidates:

[0117] ①xuan z rotate, word selection, selection, declaration of war, noise, Xuanzang selection

[0118] ②z xuan Zhouxuan Zixuan Addition Zixuan Zixuan

example 2

[0120] The user needs to input the name "Wang Binbin", so the pinyin string "wangbinbin" is typed out. If the word "王" has been selected, when the initial pinyin string "binbin" is selected, it is found that there are too many candidates and it is difficult to choose. The word "polite" is used, so the group word filtering is started, and the filtering string of "youli" is input.

[0121] Here, the initial pinyin string "binbin" and the screening string "youli" are arranged. When there are more than one syllables in the pinyin string not on the screen, it is necessary to consider the situation that all syllables participate in the arrangement and some syllables participate in the arrangement. If the pinyin string not on the screen has four syllables ABCD, then ABCD, ABC, AB, A Arrange with the filter string respectively.

[0122] In example 2, the initial pinyin string "binbin" has two syllables, and the screening string "youli" has two syllables, so N=4; since one or more syl...

example 3

[0141] The user needs to input the name "Li Tengyue", so the pinyin string "litengyue" is typed out. If the word "Li" has been selected, when the initial pinyin string "tengyue" is selected, it is found that there are too many candidates and it is difficult to choose, and the user thinks of " The word "dragon soars and tiger leaps" is started, and the group word screening is started, and the filter string "longhu" is input.

[0142] For example 3, the application arranges "tengyue" and "longhu" according to the cross-arrangement method, then the obtained permutation string may include "longtenghuyue", and the obtained group word candidates may include "dragon and tiger leap".

[0143] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, word group screening may be performed multiple times during the process of completing the text input of a user input sequence.

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for screening candidate items in character input. The method comprises the steps that a screening sequence input by a user in a screening mode is received; according to conversion of the screening sequence and an initial sequence, more than one word group candidate item is obtained and displayed; the initial sequence is the sequence which is the words not displayed on a screen and is input by the user before the screening mode, and the word group candidate items comprise words corresponding to at least one part of the initial sequence; the words, which correspond to at least one part of the initial sequence and are selected by the user, of the word group candidate items are displayed on the screen. The method and device for screening the candidate items in character input can reduce the number of candidate items for selection, and improve the efficiency when the user selects the candidate items and the input efficiency of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of text input, in particular to a method and device for screening candidates in text input. Background technique [0002] On computer systems, the default input language is characters in English. Since there are only 26 letters in English, plus some control characters, it is generally enough to use a keyboard with about 100 keys. [0003] The Chinese language has tens of thousands of characters. In order to enable the computer system to use the keyboard to input Chinese, it is necessary to use an additional Chinese input method system. [0004] Because there are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, it is impossible for a computer keyboard to create a button for each Chinese character. Therefore, the Chinese input method uses the keys on the keyboard to encode each Chinese character according to a certain method. For the user, an input sequence composed of several keys (specifically including ...
