Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to an input method technical field, in particular to a full mixed input method for Chinese and English input. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of science and technology, various intelligent electronic devices are used more and more, and various input methods are matched, such as full spelling, double spelling, simple spelling and various code schemes; the full spelling is a basic input method, the double spelling is fast, the simple spelling is faster, the rare word with a reading sound is found by using the spelling plus two pen code input method, and the rare word without a reading sound can only be found by using the full code input method; the full spelling, double spelling and simple spelling input method need to be switched back and forth, and the spelling and code input method also need to be switched back and forth. SUMMARY

[0003] Can all Chinese and English input methods be mixed into one input method to avoid the time-consuming switching back and forth, the application aims to overcome the above technical problems, provide a full mixed input method for Chinese and English input based on various keyboard layouts, so that the Chinese and English input of all platforms is more fast and the learning cost is low.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, in the aspect of the spelling input method, the application starts to reform the Chinese spelling scheme: the Chinese spelling scheme promulgated in 1958 borrows Latin letters, because of the limitation of 26 Latin letters, eight double letter phonemes are formed: yu, yi, wu, zh, ch, sh, er and ng; the key is the four tone marking method, which makes us unable to widely use the Chinese spelling scheme so far; the writing with tone is not beautiful and the existing English full keyboard does not support it, and the writing without tone is poor in readability, so there is no available programming language based on Latin letters of Chinese so far.

[0005] When iou is an independent syllable, it is no longer omitted as iu, and when iou is not an independent syllable, it is still omitted as iu; yu is changed into iu, y before i is no longer added or i is no longer changed into y, w before u is no longer added or u is no longer changed into w, zh is changed into v, ch is changed into w, sh is changed into y, and ng is changed into m; iu, o and er are double-position simultaneous sounds, not a combination of one position sliding to another position; 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 or the tone symbol of the new character represents the tone, and represents the neutral tone, the positive tone, the rising tone, the falling tone and the light tone in turn; the tone symbol is at the end of the syllable; if the letter has been input to form a syllable and there is a continuous combination, the tone symbol needs to be manually input to end the syllable; if there is no continuous combination, the syllable is automatically ended;

[0006] New omission: 90 syllables in total; including 3 syllables of i omitted after b, p and f with i single-pinyin; 30 syllables of i omitted after j, q, x; 6 syllables of e omitted in me, te, ge, ke, he, de; 4 syllables of i omitted after v, w, y, r; 3 syllables of i omitted after z, c, s; 34 syllables of e omitted in en, em if not the first letter of a syllable; 8 syllables of a omitted in iao; 2 syllables of iu omitted after l and n combined with iu.

[0007] b, p, f, j, q, x, g, k, h, t, v, w, y, l, z, c, s and d are called full initial consonants, and m and n are called half initial consonants as initial consonants and as final consonants.

[0008] Classification of syllables

[0009] Single-pinyin syllable: in the form of a letter followed by an English apostrophe;

[0010] Short-pinyin syllable: in the form of two letters followed by a letter that can be combined;

[0011] Long-pinyin syllable: in the form of three letters followed by a letter that can be combined;

[0012] Full-pinyin syllable: in the form of two, three or four letters followed by a letter that cannot be combined;

[0013] Single-pinyin, short-pinyin and long-pinyin syllables are converted to five-tone display mode or single-tone display mode after inputting a separator or inputting a tone, and full-pinyin syllables are automatically converted to five-tone display mode and to single-tone display mode after inputting a tone.

[0014] In terms of shape code input method, the present application carries out basic modification on the shape code scheme: the shape code input method first uses the Latin alphabet scheme as the shape code letter, and then implements the new text letter after establishing a one-to-one correspondence with the Latin letter, and then uses the new text letter as the shape code letter;

[0015] Five kinds of shape codes

[0016] Bend: dash, n, lift, bend, etc.

[0017] Vertical: vertical.

[0018] Dot: dot, hook, etc.

[0019] Horizontal: horizontal.

[0020] Combination: combination of any two or more of the four basic strokes of bend, vertical, dot and horizontal.

[0021] Shape code table

[0022] Names of shape code letters:

[0023] The first name is followed by the column name, so there are:

[0024] B represents bending, U represents bending, F represents bending, M represents bending, P represents bending;

[0025] J represents vertical bending, I represents vertical vertical, X represents vertical point, N represents vertical horizontal, Q represents vertical combination;

[0026] G represents point bending, E represents point vertical, H represents point point, T represents point horizontal, K represents point combination;

[0027] V represents horizontal bending, R represents horizontal vertical, Y represents horizontal point, L represents horizontal horizontal, W represents horizontal combination;

[0028] Z represents the combination of bending, A represents the combination of bending, S represents the combination of bending, D represents the combination of bending, C represents the combination of combination;

[0029] From top to bottom, the first row to the fifth row are called bending row, vertical row, point row, horizontal row and combination row from left to right, the first column to the fifth column are called bending column, vertical column, point column, horizontal column and combination column;

[0030] Z-shaped code sequence

[0031] Chinese characters are taken by two diagonal codes according to Z-shaped stroke order:

[0032] 1. The upper left corner code and the upper right corner code,

[0033] 2. The lower left corner code and the lower right corner code;

[0034] The upper left corner code and the lower left corner code are called the first code, and the upper right corner code and the lower right corner code are called the second code; The first code corresponds to the same name code row, and the second code corresponds to the same name code column, and the first code and the second code form a key;

[0035] The first code is taken to the code and the second code is not taken to the code, which is called no code; The first code is not taken to the code and the second code is not taken to the code, which is called no code; The first code is not taken to the code and the second code is taken to the code, which is called no code, no code is empty code, O represents no code, no code and no code;

[0036] Taking code principle

[0037] Take Songti as the standard;

[0038] Single character:

[0039] Two diagonal codes are taken according to Z-shaped stroke order, which are used for pinyin plus two key shape codes; The word library shape code field is formed by two letters according to the code sequence; There are about 280 single characters;

[0040] Upper and lower structure:

[0041] Two diagonal codes are taken according to Z-shaped stroke order, which are used for pinyin plus shape code; Then take two diagonal codes around the horizontal gap according to Z-shaped stroke order, four diagonal codes are used for full shape code; The word library shape code field is formed by four letters according to the code sequence;

[0042] Left-right structure:

[0043] Two diagonal codes are taken according to the Z-shaped stroke order, which are used for pinyin plus shape code; then two diagonal codes are taken around the vertical gap according to the Z-shaped stroke order, and the four diagonal codes are used for full shape code; the shape code field of the dictionary consists of four letters formed according to the code taking order;

[0044] Internal and external structure:

[0045] A character structure in which the whole character occupies three or four corners is called an external structure, while a character structure in which the whole character occupies zero or one corner is called an internal structure.

[0046] The outer structure character's two diagonal codes are extracted according to the Z-stroke order and used for pinyin plus shape code; the inner structure character's two diagonal codes are then extracted according to the Z-stroke order, and the four diagonal codes are used for the full shape code; the dictionary shape code field consists of four letters formed according to the code extraction order.

[0047] Multi-character

[0048] For characters with two or more structures, codes are assigned according to the priority order of inner / outer structure, top / bottom structure, and left / right structure.

[0049] The specific technical solution of this application is as follows: In the initial mixed input, for each word, after the first key is pressed and held to input a letter, the input method switches to English input in a single step; after the first key is clicked to input a letter, the input method uses a dynamic interface integrating full Pinyin, double Pinyin, and abbreviated Pinyin. The second, third, and fourth key clicks input letters, thus continuing the input through full Pinyin, double Pinyin, and abbreviated Pinyin; if the first key is clicked to input a letter, and the second key is pressed and held to input a letter, the input method switches to abbreviated Pinyin and full shape code input in a single step; in the five-tone display mode of Pinyin, if the long press is held to input a letter, the input method switches to abbreviated Pinyin and Pinyin plus two-key shape code letter input in a single step.

[0050] Once a single input of English, abbreviated Pinyin and full shape code or abbreviated Pinyin and Pinyin plus two-key shape code is completed, the input will automatically return to the initial mixed input after the required words are submitted.

[0051] When using the initial 88-key keyboard for full mixed input, for each word, after the first keystroke, the entered pinyin letter, along with the pre-spelled vowel or pre-double pinyin displayed on the keys in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area, will be used to search for the top two words in terms of word frequency. These words will then be displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the function key area. Similarly, the words found using the pre-abbreviated pinyin displayed on the lower left keys of columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area will be displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in the number key area. In the basic key area, the words found using the pre-abbreviated pinyin displayed on the lower left key of key 26 will be displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of key 28.

[0052] As an improvement, when initially using a 30-key keyboard with a fully mixed input circular or rectangular screen, for each word, after the first keystroke to input the letter, the top two words found by the search frequency ranking of the input pinyin letter and the pre-full or pre-double pinyin of the vowel displayed on a certain key are displayed in the left and right candidate columns of that key; and the top two words found by the search frequency ranking of the search frequency ranking of the search frequency ranking of the pre-abbreviated pinyin of the letter displayed on the lower left key of a certain key are displayed in the upper and lower candidate columns of that key.

[0053] As an improvement, when initially using the 88-key mixed input keyboard, for each word, the first key is long-pressed to input a letter, and the input method switches to English input in one go. After inputting a few letters, among the top 4 words in the search frequency ranking, the first letter of the uninputted subsequent string is the subsequent string of the letter displayed by a key in a row of columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area. This string is then displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in columns 1 and 2, columns 3 and 4, and column 5 of the function key area and columns 1, 2 and 3, and columns 4 and 5 of the number and symbol key area. The first letter of the uninputted subsequent string is the subsequent string of the letter displayed by key 26 in the basic key area. This string is displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of keys 27 and 28 in the basic key area.

[0054] As an improvement, when using the initial 30-key keyboard for a fully mixed input round or rectangular screen, for each word, the input method switches to English input in a single press after the first key is long-pressed to input the letter; after inputting a few letters, the first letter of the uninputted subsequent string in the top 4 words of the search frequency ranking is the subsequent string of the letter displayed by a certain key, and it is displayed in the left, top, right and bottom candidate bars of that key.

[0055] As an improvement, when initially using the 88-key keyboard for full mixed input, for each word, the first key is clicked to input the letter, and the second key is pressed and held to input the letter. The input method then switches to abbreviated spelling and full-shape code input in a single press. At this point, the entered letter, along with the full-shape code pre-spelling displayed on the keys in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area, and the top two most frequently searched words, are displayed sequentially in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in the function key area. The pre-simplified spelling of the letters displayed on the keypad in the row, along with the top two most frequent words found, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the keys in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th row of the number and symbol key area. In the basic key area, the pre-simplified spelling of the letters displayed on key 26, along with the top two most frequent words found, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of key 27. The pre-simplified spelling of the letters displayed on key 26, along with the top two most frequent words found, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of key 28.

[0056] As an improvement, when initially using a 30-key keyboard on a round or rectangular screen for full mixed input, for each word, the first key is clicked to input the letter, and the second key is pressed and held to input the letter. After that, the input method switches to abbreviated spelling and full shape code input in one go. At this time, the words that have been entered and the full shape code of the letters displayed on a certain key are pre-spelled together. The top two words in the word frequency ranking are displayed in the left and right candidate columns of that key. The words that are pre-spelled together and the pre-abbreviated spelling of the letters displayed on a certain key are displayed in the top and bottom candidate columns of that key.

[0057] As an improvement, when the initial 88-key mixed input keyboard displays the five-tone pinyin mode, after a long press to input a letter, the input method switches to simplified pinyin and pinyin plus two-key shape code letter input in a single step. At this time, the input letter, along with the pinyin plus two-key shape code pre-spelling of the letters displayed in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th columns of the letter key area, and the top two words in the word frequency ranking search, are displayed sequentially in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th columns of the function key area; along with the words in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th columns of the letter key area... The pre-simplified spelling of the letters displayed on the keypad, along with the top two most frequent words found, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the keys in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th row of the number and symbol key area. In the basic key area, the pre-simplified spelling of the letters displayed on key 26, along with the two key shape codes, along with the top two most frequent words found, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of key 27. The pre-simplified spelling of the letters displayed on key 26, along with the top two most frequent words found, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of key 28.

[0058] As an improvement, when the initial fully mixed input round or rectangular 30-key keyboard is in the Pinyin five-tone display mode, after long-pressing to input a letter, the input method switches to abbreviated Pinyin and Pinyin plus two-key shape code letter input in one go. At this time, the input letter is pre-spelled with the Pinyin plus two-key shape code of the letter displayed on a certain key. The top two words in the word frequency ranking are displayed in the left and right candidate columns of that key. The top two words in the word frequency ranking are displayed in the upper and lower candidate columns of that key.

[0059] As an improvement, when initially using the 88-key keyboard with full mixed input, after switching to the five-tone display mode, the five middle candidate columns and five lower left candidate columns of the first row of keys in the function key area display the top 10 words of the first tone in the word frequency ranking, which are obtained by inputting words through full pinyin or double pinyin, pinyin plus two-key shape code or full shape code.

[0060] The five middle candidate columns and five lower left candidate columns in the second row of the function key area display the top 10 words with the second tone in the word frequency ranking, which are obtained by inputting words through full pinyin or double pinyin, pinyin plus two-key shape code or full shape code; the rest are similarly deduced.

[0061] The first two words found by searching for the pre-simplified letters displayed in the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth columns of the letter key area, along with the words displayed in the lower left corner of the first row of the number key area, are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the first row of the number key area. In the basic key area, the first two words found by searching for the pre-simplified letters displayed in the second key (key number 26) are displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the second key (key number 28).

[0062] When using the five-tone display mode with Pinyin input plus two-key shape code or full shape code input, the lower left key of the 25 keys in the letter key area and the lower left key of the 26th key in the basic key area will no longer display letters.

[0063] As an improvement, when initially using a 30-key keyboard on a round or rectangular screen for full mixed input, after switching to the five-tone display mode, the five left candidate columns and five right candidate columns of the first row of keys display the top 10 words of the first tone in the word frequency ranking, which are obtained by inputting words through full pinyin or double pinyin, pinyin plus two-key shape code or full shape code.

[0064] The second row of keys has 5 left candidate columns and 5 right candidate columns, which display the top 10 words with the second tone in the word frequency ranking, obtained by inputting words through full pinyin or double pinyin, pinyin plus two-key shape code or full shape code; the rest are similar.

[0065] The entered letters, combined with the pre-simplified letters displayed on a certain key, and the top two most frequently searched words are displayed in the candidate bars above and below that key.

[0066] When using the five-tone display mode with Pinyin input plus two-key shape code or full shape code input, the lower left key of the 26 letter keys will no longer display letters.

[0067] By adopting the above method, this application has the following advantages:

[0068] 1. A new "Mixed" key has been added as the default input method, representing a fully mixed input method for Chinese and English. It can be used in conjunction with the long-lasting "Double Pinyin", "Abbreviated Pinyin", "Phonetic-Shape" and "Shape Code" switching keys to make input more flexible.

[0069] Second, there is no need to set a separate single-use switch key; the long-press input method can be used as a single-use switch key.

[0070] Third, commonly used Chinese characters and words can be quickly input by using full pinyin, double pinyin, and abbreviated pinyin channels, eliminating the need for lengthy back-and-forth switching.

[0071] Fourth, occasional use of Pinyin plus two-key shape code letters, abbreviated Pinyin, full shape code and English input can avoid long-term back-and-forth switching and achieve quick input.

[0106] In the initial mixed input mode, for each word, after the first key press and long press to input a letter, the input method switches to English input in a single step; after the first key click to input a letter, the input method uses a dynamic interface integrating full Pinyin, double Pinyin, and abbreviated Pinyin. The second, third, and fourth key clicks to input letters continue inputting through full Pinyin, double Pinyin, and abbreviated Pinyin; if the first key click to input a letter is followed by a second key press and long press to input a letter, the input method switches to abbreviated Pinyin and full shape code input in a single step; in the five-tone Pinyin display mode, a long press to input a letter switches to abbreviated Pinyin and Pinyin plus two-key shape code letter input in a single step.

[0107] Once a single input of English, abbreviated Pinyin and full shape code or abbreviated Pinyin and Pinyin plus two-key shape code is completed, the input will automatically return to the initial mixed input after the required words are submitted.

[0108] When initially using an 88-key keyboard with full mixed input, for each word, after the first keystroke, the entered pinyin letter, along with the pre-spelling or pre-double pinyin displayed on the keys in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area, will be used to search for the top two words by frequency. These words will then be displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in the function key area. Similarly, words searched using the pre-abbreviated pinyin displayed on the lower left keys of columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area will be displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in the number key area. In the basic key area, words searched using the pre-abbreviated pinyin displayed on the lower left key of key 26 will be displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of key 28. See below. Figure 12 .

[0109] When initially using a 30-key keyboard with a round or rectangular screen for fully mixed input, for each word, after the first keystroke, the entered pinyin letter, along with the pre-spelled vowel or pre-double pinyin displayed on a certain key, will be used to search for the top two words by frequency ranking. These words will be displayed in the left and right candidate columns of that key. Similarly, words with the pre-abbreviated pinyin displayed on the lower left key of a certain key will be used to search for the top two words by frequency ranking. See [link to previous text]. Figure 13 and Figure 14 .

[0110] When initially using the 88-key mixed input keyboard, for each word, a long press of the first key inputs a letter, and the input method switches to English input in one go. After inputting a few letters, among the top 4 most frequently searched words, the first letter of the un-entered subsequent string is the following string of the letter displayed by a key in a row of columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area. This is displayed sequentially in the middle and lower left candidate columns of the same row of keys in columns 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 5 of the function key area, and columns 1, 2 and 3, and columns 4 and 5 of the number and sign key area. The first letter of the un-entered subsequent string is the following string of the letter displayed by key 26 in the basic key area, displayed in the middle and lower left candidate columns of keys 27 and 28 in the basic key area. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 15 .

[0111] When initially using a 30-key keyboard on a round or rectangular screen for mixed input, for each word, a long press on the first key inputs a letter, and the input method switches to English input in one go. After inputting a few letters, among the top 4 most frequently searched words, the first letter of the unentered subsequent string is the subsequent string of the letter displayed on a certain key, and it is displayed in the left, top, right, and bottom candidate bars of that key; see Figure 16 and Figure 17 .

[0112] When initially using the 88-key mixed input keyboard, for each word, the first key is clicked to input the letter, and the second key is pressed and held to input the letter. The input method then switches to abbreviated spelling and full-shape code input. At this point, the entered letter, along with the full-shape code pre-spelling displayed on the keys in columns 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of the letter key area, is used to search for the top two most frequent words.
