Method and device for inputting Chinese characters

Abstract

A Chinese-character input method features that 9 strokes are defined as the basic elements for constituting Chinese characters. Said 9 basic elements are symmetrically assigned to 9 input keys arranged by 3X3. Its advantages are easy memory and convenient operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a Chinese character input method and a Chinese character input device, especially suitable for Chinese character input of relatively small electronic devices such as mobile phone terminals. Background technique [0002] Small electronic devices such as mobile phone terminals and pager devices include a display unit composed of a liquid crystal display or the like for displaying various information such as numbers, characters, and graphics. For example, in the case of a mobile phone terminal, there is a model that has a function called an electronic phone book, capable of storing about hundreds of phone numbers, and at the same time, for each phone number stored, a name or name (company name, etc.) to indicate that the phone number is the phone number sent to, and the stored phone number and name can be displayed. Furthermore, in the case of a mobile phone terminal having a character message transmission function, it is possibl...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The fewer the stroke marks, the easier it is to memorize the basic stroke marks, but the more marks that cannot be represented by the basic stroke marks, it is difficult to use without a reference table, it is troublesome to specify, and errors may occur

[0009] In addition, on the other hand, if there are too many basic stroke marks, the distinction between the stroke marks cannot be remembered, and it cannot be expressed as an input key of a mobile phone terminal, etc.

[0010] Here is a description of the problem in the case of inputting Chinese characters in a mobile phone terminal, but in the same relatively small electronic devices, the same problem also occurs when inputting Chinese characters such as Chinese.
