Element input method, device and system

Abstract

The invention relates to an element input method, device and system. According to the method, a circular speller is displayed on a displayer, and all symbols in a spelling scheme for spelling elements are arranged along the circular speller on the displayer; responding to one or more symbols which are selected by a user and arranged along the circular speller on the displayer, possible symbol strings with the selected symbols being initials are displayed in a first region of the displayer; responding to selection of one of the symbol strings displayed in the first region by the user, possible elements corresponding to the selected symbol string are used to update the first region; and responding to selection of one of the elements displayed in the first region by the user, the selected element is input.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent application number 201010218755.0, the application date is June 30, 2010, and the title is "element input method, device and system". technical field [0002] The present invention generally relates to element input technology, and in particular to a method for inputting characters in non-Latin alphabet form, as well as corresponding equipment and systems. Background technique [0003] With the popularization of electronic devices, there is an increasing need to input elements, especially text, in the electronic devices. [0004] In the prior art, people generally use a keyboard to perform input. However, it is well known that keyboards, especially standard keyboards, are relatively large in size. Although some miniaturized keyboards have been developed, they are usually too small to be easily manipulated by the user. Moreover, using a keyboard for input is not particularly suitable for use in automo...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Although this method reduces the occupancy of the interior space of the car, especially the driver's control space, and reduces the distraction of the driver's attention to a certain extent, thereby improving driving safety to a certain extent, but this input method requires The user performs multiple rotations and presses on the circular controller, which requires a long input time, and thus requires the electronic device to perform multiple processing accordingly, thereby occupying a lot of computing resources (such as CPU, memory, etc.) of the electronic device, so This method leads to inefficiencies not only in terms of user manipulation, but also in terms of the internal performance of electronic devices

And this method needs to display the letter matrix on the display, which takes up a large area on the display
