Multi-key input method and input device using same

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-key input method and an input device using the same. The multi-key input method comprises the following steps: (a) providing at least two input keys, presetting that the input keys correspond to input methods, which respectively correspond to a first symbol group of different symbols, one by one, selecting one of the input keys, and selecting the input method corresponding to the selected input key and the first symbol group contained in the selected input method; (b) setting the input keys to respectively correspond to the first symbol group containing the symbols, and displaying configuration of the input keys, the first symbol group and the symbols on a display screen; (c) selecting one of the input keys, and selecting the symbols, contained in the first symbol group, corresponding to the selected input key; and (d) selecting one of the input keys again to send out the symbol corresponding to the selected input key. Less cases can be used to adapt multiple input methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of an input method and an input device, in particular to a multi-key input method and the input device. Background technique [0002] Electronic products, such as mobile phones and computers, usually provide keyboard input for users to perform operations such as character input, but there are also some electronic devices such as televisions, video games, cameras, etc., which generally do not provide keyboards for users to input. However, the above These electronic devices still have the demand and possibility to input characters, therefore, there are still input methods designed for these electronic devices, which will be further described below. [0003] Such as TV remote controllers, video game handles, camera input units, etc., will be equipped with at least buttons corresponding to up, down, left, and right commands, and the most common input method for these electronic devices is to display a virtual keyboard on ...

However, the user must be familiar with the strokes of Chinese characters and keep thinking when inputting. Once there are too many strokes of Chinese characters to be input, the user needs to press the action button multiple times. The sequence of inputting the strokes of a single character becomes longer and the number of times required to press the keys Increase, improve the input time, and this input method is limited to Chinese character input, and the application products and effects are limited
