The invention discloses a reduced spelling and full spelling compatible input method system and method based on lexicon expansion, and belongs to the technical field of computer input methods. Aiming at the problems of low full spelling input efficiency, high binary spelling learning cost, poor simple spelling practicability, insufficient mixed input support, strong system invasiveness and the like in the existing pinyin input method, the method comprises the following steps: defining a spelling reduction rule of initial consonants, final consonants and intermediate and final consonants to replace the initial consonants, the final consonants and the intermediate and final consonants; and generating four input forms of full spelling, reduced spelling, initial full spelling + final reduced spelling, initial reduced spelling + final full spelling for each character / word. The system comprises a lexicon processing engine, a pinyin verification module, a polyphone processor and a lexicon deployment module, an original full-spelling lexicon is read through an automatic program, a variant form is generated by applying a spelling reduction rule, and the variant form is stored in a new lexicon after Chinese character respelling verification. According to the method, a core program of the input method does not need to be modified, and a mixed input mode of complete compatibility and arbitrary combination of reduced spelling and full spelling can be realized. Tests show that after the spelling reduction rule is applied to 8560 Chinese characters in the eleventh version of the Xinhua dictionary, the number of keystrokes is reduced by 2584, and the efficiency is improved by 9.8%. The method has the advantages of high input efficiency, zero learning cost, multi-platform compatibility and the like, and can be widely applied to text input optimization of various scenes such as mobile equipment, desktop systems, smart televisions and the like.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present application relates to the technical field of computer input method, in particular to an innovative system and method for realizing reduced-pinyin input through vocabulary extension and fully compatible with full-pinyin input, without changing the original input method program logic. BACKGROUND The existing pinyin input method has the following technical limitations: 1. Low efficiency of full-pinyin input: standard full-pinyin input requires a large number of keystrokes. The total number of keystrokes for standard full-pinyin input of 8560 Chinese characters in the test sample "Xinhua Dictionary" 11th edition is 26,367, with an average of 3.08 keystrokes per character; 2. High learning cost of double-pinyin scheme: users need to memorize new key mapping rules; 3. Poor practicability of simplified-pinyin scheme: high rate of homophones leads to low selection efficiency; 4. Insufficient support for mixed input: unable to seamlessly support mixed input mode of reduced-pinyin and full-pinyin; 5. Strong system invasiveness: existing optimization schemes usually require modification of the input method core program. SUMMARY Technical problems solved The present application aims to solve the following technical problems: 1. Provide a pinyin input scheme that can significantly reduce the number of keystrokes; 2. Achieve full compatibility of reduced-pinyin input and full-pinyin input; 3. Support mixed input mode of reduced-pinyin and full-pinyin in any combination; 4. No need to modify the input method core program for deployment and implementation; 5. Maintain the original full-pinyin input habit and achieve zero learning cost transition. Technical solutions The core innovation of the present application lies in the vocabulary-level extension scheme: Reduced-pinyin rule system

[0001] The following reduced-pinyin conversion rules are defined: · Initial replacement rule: zh→v, ch→i, sh→u; · Vowel replacement rule: ang→ag, eng→eg, ing→ig, ong→og; · Medial vowel replacement rule: iang→iag, uang→uag, iong→iog. Vocabulary extension method

[0002] Four input forms are generated for each character / word: 1. Full-pinyin form: keep the original full-pinyin unchanged; 2. Reduced-pinyin form: apply all reduced-pinyin rules; 3. Mixed form 1: initial full spelling + final reduced spelling; 4. Mixed form 2: initial reduced spelling + final full spelling.

[0003] The word library expansion is realized through an automated processing program, including the following key steps: 1. Read the original full spelling word library; 2. Apply the reduced spelling rule to each entry to generate variant forms; 3. Verify the correctness of the spelling based on Chinese character re-spelling; 4. Store all forms in the new word library. System architecture

[0004] The system includes the following core modules: 1. Word library processing engine: performs reduced spelling rule application and variant generation; 2.
