Description

Input method with association function

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of input method, the especially a kind of association function of literal input and the technical field of blocked operation with association function.

Background technology

At present, hand-held electronic equipment is surfed the Net, sends out news in brief, sends e-mails or is carried out other function, and when needing inputting English letter, prior art be with each individual character in the process of importing in regular turn by key, the menu of the candidate's individual character that may form just can appear later in letter of every key entry, from menu, select the individual character of institute desire input again, not necessarily will key in whole letters and can finish the input of individual character.

Yet, menu with candidate's individual character can be saved the convenience of user's individual character input, but often the individual character of input all must be looked at candidate's individual character at every turn one by one, and, but can't differentiate the capital and small letter of letter in the input alphabet process, often need switch capital and small letter or insert symbol etc. each letter.And have the electronic equipment of editting function because the cause of volume makes the size of input keyboard, layout all be restricted, when the user imports switch, insertion etc., just need the frequent input of switching back and forth, these operating influences user's input speed and accuracy.Therefore, how promoting the menu of candidate's individual character and the input characters fast and accurately of whole capital and small letter handoff functionality is urgent problem.

Summary of the invention

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical matters that exists in the background technology, the invention provides a kind of input method with association function, influence the disappearance of input speed and correctness to solve frequent literal switching input.

Technical solution of the present invention is: the present invention is a kind of input method with association function, and it can be applicable to the electronic information processing unit, is used to provide the literal input function, and its special character is that this method may further comprise the steps:

1), database is provided, store many glossarys, when the user provides input during speech, the input speech is compared with many glossarys one by one, if when the input speech is corresponding with glossary wherein, then chooses associational word, to finish required individual character or vocabulary fast;

2), after choosing associational word, the demand of looking can be switched speech to choose the font configuration of associational word;

3), if the input speech is not corresponding with glossary wherein, then be stored in the database according to the input speech, the frequency of utilization according to importing speech or associational word puts in order to the glossary adjustment in the database.

The present invention is a kind of input method with association function, has the following advantages:

1), the present invention has the input method of association function, can improve the convenience of input characters speed thus according to choosing the words and phrases that words that associational word selects to be imported for the user fast is associated;

2), the present invention has the input method of association function, can switch speech and switch the font configuration fast for the words of user's input according to choosing, can solve frequent switching input thus and cause inconvenience in the use.

Embodiment

Referring to Fig. 1, the present invention can be applicable to the electronic information processing unit, is used to provide the literal input function, and it comprises the following step:

Step 10): set up the glossary database that stores many glossarys;

Step 11): allow the user that the input speech is provided by input interface;

Step 12): input speech and many glossarys are compared, and for example, behind first beginning of letter of user's input speech, the glossary database will be searched many glossarys and compare with first beginning of letter of input speech;

Step 13): if the input speech is corresponding with glossary wherein, then choose associational word and execution in step 14), if no corresponding, then execution in step 16);

Step 14): after choosing associational word, then can switch speech, for example, choose the switching of the font configuration that the alphabet size of associational word writes to choose the font configuration of associational word;

Step 15): corresponding if input speech and wherein glossary do not have, then be stored in the glossary database according to importing speech;

Step 16): the frequency of utilization according to input speech or associational word puts in order to the glossary adjustment in the glossary database.

Referring to Fig. 2 .1, Fig. 2 .2 and Fig. 2 .3, this embodiment is applicable to the hand-held device 2 shown in the figure, and the input method that the user uses hand-held device 2 to carry out English or Europe language individual character input in Fig. 2 .1, comprisesscreen 21,keyboard 22, operation options button 23.Wherein,operation options button 23 haslast key 231, followingkey 232,left button 233 and right button 234.Keyboard 22 has default a plurality of buttons, and prints one by one or show 26 English alphabets, ten arabic numeral and each shape symbol or the like.When user's desire input English-word (for example, mister), can select to use input method 24 (for example, English shape phonetic method) earlier after, the user can be according to the English alphabet of institute's desire input one by one by touching pairing letter key.Referring to Fig. 2 .1, as user during by the first alphabetical m button on thetouching dish 22, then the first alphabetical m will compare with many glossarys that are stored in the glossary database, if the first alphabetical m is corresponding with glossary wherein, selectable glossary then occurs and chooseassociational word 25 for the user, and associational word is frequency of utilization is the highest in the glossary database many glossarys and sorts according to frequency of utilization, whereinassociational word 25 is relevant to many individual characters of the first alphabetical m beginning, for example, me, miss or mister etc., and the picture that the display operation flow process is presented is onscreen 21.

Referring to Fig. 2 .2,operation options button 23 haslast key 231, followingkey 232,left button 233 andright button 234, wherein,last key 231 provides the user to switchspeech 26 with followingkey 232 and selects, and go up the shown reversed in order ofkey 231 and followingkey 232,left button 233 andright button 234 provide the user to chooseassociational word 25, and the shown reversed in order ofleft button 233 and right button 234.Theleft button 233 that the user can useoperation options button 23 andright button 234 are with the individual character of choosing the desire input (for example, mister).When determine selected glossary (for example, mister) after, the glossary database will put in order according to the glossary adjustment of associational word 25.The user can use thelast key 231 ofoperation options button 23 to switchspeech 26 with followingkey 232 and select, wherein switchingspeech 26 carries out the capital and small letter switching or converts the abbreviation operation to according to input speech orassociational word 25, andswitch speech 26 multiple font configuration is arranged, for example, (being shown in Fig. 2 .3) such as mister, Mister, MISTER or Mr..

Wherein, if the user imports second letter, useleft button 232 andright button 234, program is promptly compared in the glossary database and is up to ordering and choosesassociational word 25 for the user with the frequency of utilization headed by two letters of input, if no correspondingassociational word 25, then continue input, repeat above step, up to choosing end.If end of input, the user does not chooseassociational word 25, then imports speech and is stored in the glossary database and to the glossary adjustment in the glossary database and puts in order.
