Description

一种在数字键盘上利用连续拼音输入汉字的方法 技术领域  Method for inputting Chinese characters by using continuous pinyin on digital keyboard
本发明涉及智能拼音输入汉字的方法，其特别涉及利用数字键盘进行拼 音输入汉字的方法，具体的讲是一种在数字键盘上利用连续拼音输入汉字的 方法。  The invention relates to a method for inputting Chinese characters by smart pinyin, in particular to a method for inputting Chinese characters by pinyin using a numeric keypad, in particular to a method for inputting Chinese characters by using continuous pinyin on a numeric keypad.
背景技术 Background technique
随着信息技术的发展，人们所应用的通信方式不再只局限于语音， 而是 需要通过文字短信息或是 E-mail的方式来传情达意。 现有的手机中文输入 技术主要包括汉语拼音输入法，及笔划输入法。 汉语拼音输入法釆用的是单 字拼音输入技术， 但是存在着明显的缺陷： 数字键盘（尤其是标准手机数字 键盘）主要沿用传统的字母布局方法， 即将 26个拉丁字母顺次分布于 2-9 的八个数字键上， 每键分布 3-4个字母， 用户按压与欲输入单个汉字的拼音 字母相对应的数字键，然后从符合汉语拼音规则的候选拼音字母组合中确认 拼音， 最后从与被确认拼音相对应的候选字中选出汉字。 因为中文的同音字 很多， 而且在没有声调的情况下， 同拼音的字更多， 通常需要按导航键许多 次才能选择到自己想输入的字， 然后再重复以上步骤输入下一个汉字。这种 单字拼音输入法速度慢， 并且不能进行词组或整句的智能拼音输入。笔划输 入没有同音字多的问题，但是其缺陷是笔划输入需要一个 "汉字→笔划→数 字" 的思维转换过程， 且笔划输入只适用于 "看输"， 不适用于 "听输" 和 "想输，，， 即， 当想起某个字的读音但又忘记该字的写法时， 在输入速度上 将大打折扣。  With the development of information technology, the communication methods people use are no longer limited to voice, but need to express their feelings through text short messages or E-mail. The existing Chinese input technology of mobile phones mainly includes the Chinese Pinyin input method and the stroke input method. The Chinese Pinyin input method uses the single-word pinyin input technology, but there are obvious defects: The numeric keyboard (especially the standard mobile phone numeric keypad) mainly uses the traditional letter layout method, that is, 26 Latin letters are sequentially distributed in 2-9. On the eight numeric keys, each key is distributed by 3-4 letters. The user presses the number key corresponding to the pinyin letter of the single Chinese character, and then confirms the pinyin from the candidate pinyin combination that conforms to the Chinese Pinyin rule. Chinese characters are selected among the candidate words corresponding to the confirmed pinyin. Because there are many homophones in Chinese, and there are more words with pinyin in the absence of tone, you usually need to press the navigation button many times to select the word you want to input, and then repeat the above steps to enter the next Chinese character. This single-word pinyin input method is slow and cannot perform smart pinyin input of phrases or whole sentences. There is no problem with the stroke input, but the defect is that the stroke input requires a "Chinese character → stroke → number" thinking conversion process, and the stroke input is only applicable to "see lose", not to "hear lose" and "think" Loss,,, that is, when you think of the pronunciation of a word but forget the wording, the input speed will be greatly reduced.
作为参考， 专利申请号为 "02102200.3" 的名称为 "改进的数字键盘及 使用该键盘的汉字拼音输入法"的中国专利，和专利申请号为 "03119525.3" 的专利名称为 "数字键盘拼音顺序输入法" 的中国专利， 都是通过改变拼 字母在键盘数字键上的位置来降低输入的重码率，但是这样的结果是对已经 习惯标准手机数字键盘拼音字母键位的使用者来说很不方便，并且输入速度 和输入的准确性受到了极大的影响。 For reference, the patent application number "02102200.3" is entitled "Improved numeric keypad and Chinese character pinyin input method using the keyboard", and the patent application number is "03119525.3". The Chinese patent with the patent name "Digital Keyboard Pinyin Input Method" reduces the input bit rate by changing the position of the spelled letters on the keyboard number keys, but the result is that the standard mobile phone number keyboard pinyin is already used. It is inconvenient for users of letter keys, and the input speed and accuracy of input are greatly affected.
