Can words rather than repeat press certain input elements " alphabetical " of permanent order on conversion button.Word-predictor effectively utilizes
Less button completes the input of data, can be used in note, Email, address book, calendar and writing.
The stroke input system of the present invention can be used together to simplify input with word-predictor software, and it is according to the data of input
Information comes comparison character library, the possible words that display dopes.In general, character library generally has the commonly used word more than 95%
Word is in order to predict comparison.
Example below by way of directivity stroke illustrates how to use dummy keyboard and word-predictor software defeated to improve data
The efficiency entered.As it is shown in figure 1, during data input, cursor, from the beginning of original position, moves to screen according to the direction of stroke
On any key mapping.
User can apply the non-hook stroke of 10 in 18 directivity strokes, and comparison screen shows the keyboard of various countries' language
Inputting any word, these 10 non-hook strokes are: upper stroke, lower stroke, left stroke, right stroke, and upper left stroke is right
Upper stroke, lower-left stroke, bottom right stroke, up time needle cycle stroke and counterclockwise circle stroke.Can by these 10 non-hook strokes
To move the cursor to start corresponding function on required virtual key, or leave from the virtual key of cursor position.
English word to be inputted " good ", user only need to input relative numeric character string " 4,6,6,3 ",
This is because: the corresponding numeral " 4 " of virtual key 132 and letter " g ", " h ", " i ", the corresponding numeral " 6 " of virtual key 134
And letter " m ", " n ", " o ", virtual key 124 corresponding numeral " 3 " and letter ' d ', " e ", " f ".
User uses directive straight stroke after original position moves the cursor to required virtual key, then inputs up time needle cycle
Stroke confirms input function to start, or input counterclockwise circle stroke cancels input function to start, thus leaves and return
Carry out re-operating input to original position.
Numeric character string " 4663 " in example above to be inputted, user, from the beginning of original position, inputs a left pen
Draw, move a cursor to corresponding letter " g ", " h ", the virtual key 132 of " i ", start void with up time needle cycle stroke 25
Intending key 132, then cursor will return to original position.Here, owing to virtual key array is at text input mode, rather than
Number entry mode, the numeral that therefore this key is corresponding can not be transfused to, only in number entry mode, the number that this key is corresponding
Word just can be transfused to.Next step, user is again from the beginning of original position, with right stroke slip cursor to the right to virtual key 134,
Input circle stroke 25 clockwise confirms again, and then cursor is returned to original position.Then repeat identical step and restart virtual
Key 134.Finally, user is with upper right stroke 23, or stroke 22 and a right stroke 26 on one, moves the cursor to virtual
Key 124, then input up time needle cycle stroke 25 to start selected virtual key 124.
In the above example, the another kind of method of input character string " 4663 " is to use hook stroke.The direction of its hook is suitable
Time pinhock or inverse time pinhock be all considered as same hook stroke.Hook stroke simplifies the input program of stroke, because hook stroke
Be equivalent to the straight line combination plus up time needle cycle stroke.The character string " 4663 " of input can be by one left hook stroke of input
34, two right hook strokes 36, another upper right hook stroke 33 and complete.After inputting each hook stroke, light rotating savings is returned automatically
Return to original position.
3 × 4 keyboards inputing characters string " 4663 " may represent several different words, will select correct words, user
It is necessary for starting " word list " (List) function key above virtual key 123.User can input two upper strokes 22, defeated
After entering first upper stroke 22, cursor is still on the region of 3 × 4 keyboards, and after inputting second upper stroke 22, cursor enters
To " word list " function key, owing to it is outer ring function key, and outer ring function key is automatic start key, therefore this function
Key is automatically started.
As shown in Figure 10, Word-predictor selective listing 806 will show optional word on screen." word list " function
Show the possible words representated by character string " 4663 ": " good ", " home ", " gone " and " hood ".
User can select required word from Word-predictor selective listing 806.As shown in Figure 10, user can be by mobile
Upwards, downwards, to the left or to the right, then input up time needle cycle stroke 25 confirms to select word " good " cursor.It addition,
Then user by mobile cursor upwards downwards, to the left or to the right to the adjacent key position of required word, can also input hook
Stroke confirms to select word " good ".
User can use " amendment/fixing " (Fix) function key of virtual key 125 to go to input the particular letter of non-dictionary word
Combination, such as password.As it is shown in figure 9, user is after input character string " 4663 ", by starting " amendment/fixing "
Function key is individually spelt or Modify password " hm6d ".In the process, user can be by moving cursor to virtual key 125
Start " amendment/fixing " function, the most just can enter interface as shown in Figure 9.
The method that foregoing describes input character string " 4663 ".Use " amendment/fixing " function key input is described below
Several steps of password " hm6d ".As it is shown in figure 9, in step 801, user is along " amendment/fixing " (Fix) a line
Candidate list move cursor, now candidate list display letter " g, h, i, 4 ", in this step, user by cursor move
Move letter " h ", then confirm that " h " fixes the 1st letter with up time needle cycle stroke 25.In step 802, user along
The candidate list of " amendment/fixing " (Fix) a line moves cursor, now candidate list display letter " m, n, o, 6 ",
In this step, user moves the cursor to letter " m ", then confirms " m " with up time needle cycle stroke.In step 803, use
Cursor is moved along the candidate list of word " amendment/fixing " (Fix) a line in family, now candidate list display letter " m,
N, o, 6 ", user moves the cursor to letter " 6 ", then confirms " 6 " with up time needle cycle stroke.In step 804, use
Cursor is moved along the candidate list of word " amendment/fixing " (Fix) a line in family, now candidate list display letter " d,
E, f, 3 ", in this step, cursor is moved to letter ' d ' by user, then confirms " d " with up time needle cycle stroke.Should
During, user is according to each letter/data of character string sequential processing.If the most fixing letter needs again to change,
User can select and starts " retrogressing " (Back) and is backwards to previous character position and the most sequentially revises and fix corresponding word
Female.In above procedure, when alphabetical during user selects candidate list, it is not required to the key that finger goes to press on touch screen, and
Being to use up time needle cycle stroke 25, such user need not shift the position of hands or sight finds other button, can keep same
The gesture of sample and putting forth effort.Up time needle cycle stroke 25 can be minor diameter, and such as half inch, this makes user need not greatly
Amplitude moves the position of hands and goes to press " select/confirm " button to the opposite side of touch screen.In step 805, user can pass through
Up time needle cycle stroke 25 selects data " hm6d " or original character string " 4663 ", or by starting " return " (Return)
Exit " amendment/fixing " functional mode, then input other word.
If not using straight stroke and up time needle cycle stroke 25, user can use arbitrary eight hook strokes move and start
One adjacent letter/data.
