Input method for Chinese-language electronic device

Abstract

In terms of input for Chinese-language electronic devices, the double Pinyin system is an ideal input method that reflects phonological structures of the Chinese language. However, it is difficult to assign twenty-one initials and thirty-five finals to a computer keyboard comprising three rows and ten columns, even with the exclusion of the special syllable "er". As such, there has been a method involving a conventional method of automatically switching between an initials keyboard and a finals keyboard during input, wherein one set of two perfectly complementary finals in terms of the relation to the immediately preceding initial is assigned to the same key, thereby achieving simultaneous input with a single press of the key. However, in this method, there is no complementary relation in finals connected to a so-called zero initial, i.e., finals not connected to an initial, and no one-to-one correspondence between pronunciation and keystroke sequence can be established. The present invention is configured such that, in the case of a so-called zero initial, one of the initials of the set is invoked when an initial code key for instructing input of a zero initial is pressed once, and the remaining final is invoked when the key is pressed twice in succession. This achieves perfect one-to-one correspondence between the pronunciation of a Chinese character and a keystroke sequence.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input method of Chinese electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] Currently, in Chinese electronic devices, there are roughly two methods for inputting Chinese based on phonology. [0003] The first linguistic principle it is based on is that, for Chinese, using its own phonetic symbols, it is divided into generalized consonant situations (initial consonants) and generalized vowel situations (finals). In the case of either, the method of collectively displaying the units of phonemes with one symbol is called the phonetic notation method. [0004] In this phonetic notation, each unit was originally described with a unique symbol, but currently it is generally represented by romanizing a letter or a group of letters that basically correspond to the symbol, which is called a generalized The Shuangpin method in the Pinyin method. [0005] The feature of Shuangpin in this generalized phonetic mode is that in principl...

Problems solved by technology

[0024] In the case of these three documents, it is necessary to prepare software that removes the ambiguity of the system, and then manually decide, but the basic problem that arises in this situation is that in these inventions, the phonetic and the keystroke sequence, the only corresponding relationship does not hold
