Embodiment
In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, by the following examples and with reference to accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in more detail.
The present invention utilizes roller to carry out the input of character, and this roller can be the roller of spherical shape, also can be discoid roller.The roller of spherical shape can rotate on four direction, is respectively upper and lower, left and right.As shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the top view of spherical shape roller of the present invention: this roller can have four rotation directions, is respectively upper and lower a, left side and right.As shown in Figure 2, Fig. 2 is the side view of spherical shape roller of the present invention: this roller exists down by function, confirms by expression down.Discoid roller then can rotate on both direction, is respectively upper and lower.The roller of discoid roller and spherical shape all has down by function, down by the functional representation affirmation.
On rotation direction, as: this roller has several paragraphs on the direction rotating up and down, one of them character of a kind character of each paragraph definition.Roller does not stop on rotation direction, can travel through the character of all paragraph definition.The character tandem array, if the paragraph number on the roller less than the number of character set, then the many commentaries on classics week with roller provides more paragraph, realizes the corresponding relation of paragraph and character, the difference that roller promptly is set is changeed the different character of same paragraph correspondence in week; If the paragraph number of roller is greater than the number of character set, then the unnecessary paragraph in the roller can be vacant.
Equally, this roller has several paragraphs on the direction turning left and right, and also can define one of them character of a kind on each paragraph.Roller rotate up and down direction and roller turn left and right the direction use that can walk abreast, import dissimilar characters respectively, also can cooperation use, import same type character.For example: when roller rotate up and down direction and roller turn left and right that direction is parallel to be used the time, the paragraph that rotates up and down direction of roller can be defined as Chinese character, the paragraph that turns left and right direction of roller can be defined as English character, the character types of the different inputs of roller rotation direction are just different; When roller rotate up and down direction and roller turn left and right the direction cooperation when using, the paragraph that rotates up and down direction of roller can be defined as phonetic, the left and right direction of roller is defined as the Chinese phrase that this phonetic has, thus Chinese phrase of the final input of roller.
The present invention can use screen display or/and the arbitrary character on the roller paragraph is represented in voice suggestion, by bottom roller then represent the affirmation of corresponding character.Screen display and/or voice suggestion can be arranged on the hand-held device, also can be separated with hand-held device, such as: utilize TV that screen display and/or voice suggestion character are provided.
Because the input of character has various ways, for example: input, the input of stroke, the input of phonetic and the input of phrase etc. of the input of English alphabet, numeral, therefore, the input validation that hereinafter adds phrase with the English alphabet input embodiment that imports phrase at last illustrates method provided by the invention.
Below roller provided by the invention is described in detail.
Suppose to have roller and the character set that 14 English alphabets are arranged of 8 paragraphs, the set of these 14 English alphabets is { a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n}, 8 paragraphs on roller identify one by one with numeral 1～8, and as shown in Figure 3, Fig. 3 is for being provided with the structural drawing of input character on roller of the present invention.
As shown in the figure: on first week of roller, be designated 1 first paragraph and be defined as English alphabet a, by that analogy, be designated 8 the 8th paragraph and be defined as English alphabet h, these eight paragraphs of taking turns have not defined all English alphabets, and just be defined into English alphabet h, so define second week of roller again, first paragraph that promptly is designated on second week of 1 ' is defined as English alphabet i, and the like, the 6th paragraph that is designated on second week of 6 ' is defined as English alphabet n, the sets definition of this English alphabet is intact, and the paragraph on remaining unnecessary two second weeks promptly is designated 7 ' and to be designated 8 ' paragraph vacant or can be defined as other character.
If suppose rotation meeting from 1 towards the 8 ' traversal of roller along a direction, roller rotates meeting from 8 ' towards 1 traversal along opposite direction so.
The present invention is corresponding with character with the paragraph on the rotation direction, and the ordering of character can be sequential, also can be arbitrarily, such as: according to the character frequency of utilization.
Utilize roller illustrated in figures 1 and 2, can realize the input of character, its detailed process is:
Paragraph on the rotation direction about this roller is defined as the English alphabet set, and this English alphabet can be worked as Chinese spelling and be used, and the paragraph on this roller left-right rotation direction is defined as the phrase set that each pinyin combinations has.Then the rotation with the roller above-below direction travels through set of letters, travels through the phrase set that each English alphabet has with the rotation of roller left and right directions, when confirming at present by this roller.Such as: with above-below direction inputting English letter " k " and the English alphabet " l " and the affirmation respectively of roller, when the left and right directions of rotation roller, hand-held device by screen display or/and voice suggestion goes out the Chinese phrase that " k l " has, as " consideration, pitiful and happy ", selected " consideration " this phrase is also pressed this roller down, thereby has imported " consideration " this phrase.
If just have the discoid roller of two rotation directions, in order to realize defining the function of two kinds of dissimilar character sets, needing perhaps needs the collateral key of a discoid roller and the dissimilar character sets of other assisted Selection with two discoid rollers.Such as: a collateral key with handoff functionality is set, and when this collateral key was changed, the discoid roller with two rotation directions can be imported two kinds of dissimilar character sets.These the two kinds character sets without type can be the input of parallel by character, use that also can cooperation, the final a kind of character of input of realizing.
As shown in Figure 4, Fig. 4 realizes the workflow diagram of input Chinese character for the present invention utilizes the spherical shape roller, suppose corresponding English alphabet set on the scroll-up/down direction of roller, this English alphabet can be worked as Chinese spelling and be used, the phrase set that corresponding each pinyin combinations has on the left and right sides rotating direction of roller, suppose this phrase explanation present embodiment of input " happy ", its concrete steps are:
Step 400, hand-held device judge whether to switch to the phrase input state, if, then change step 402 over to, otherwise, change step 401 over to;
Step 401, hand-held device still in former duty work, return step 400;
Step 402, with the current location of roller first place as The English alphabet;
Step 403, hand-held device receives roller and rotates up and down, and store corresponding English alphabet according to hand-held device and provide corresponding prompt and/or demonstration, prompting and/or the function that shows can be by hand-held device phonetic function prompting or/and the display screen of hand-held device realize, when roller have down by input the time, show under this roller by pairing English alphabet and affirmation, for example, at first according to the above-below direction rotation roller, find English alphabet " k " and press down the roller affirmation, and then, find English alphabet " l " and press down the roller affirmation according to the above-below direction rotation roller;
Step 404, hand-held device judge whether roller has left-right rotation, if having, changes step 405 over to, otherwise, change step 403 over to, do next time roller rotate up and down and descend by input;
Step 405, hand-held device receive the input of roller left-right rotation, and store corresponding character according to hand-held device and provide corresponding prompt and/or demonstration, for example: according to the left and right directions rotation roller, the phrase that hand-held device is had by voice suggestion and/or screen display English alphabet " kl " " consideration, happy, pitiful, carat ... ";
Step 406, hand-held device judge roller whether have down by input, if having, change step 407 over to, otherwise, change step 405 over to;
Step 407～408, the phrase that shows correspondence and affirmation as press bottom roller on the roller paragraph of " happy " phrase correspondence, are confirmed the input of " happy " phrase, hand-held device judges whether the switch operating state then, if change step 401 over to, otherwise, change step 403 over to.
Method as described in Figure 4, also can be with corresponding English alphabet set on the left and right sides rotating direction of roller, this English alphabet can be worked as Chinese spelling and be used, the phrase set that corresponding each pinyin combinations has on the scroll-up/down direction of roller, at first according to the left and right directions rotation roller, confirm English alphabet " kl ",, select and affirmation " happy " phrase again according to the above-below direction rotation roller.
This shows that the character of the paragraph definition on the roller rotation direction is arbitrarily, can be according to user's the different character types of needs definition.
Method as described in Figure 4, because the English alphabet on the roller is a series arrangement, the English alphabet in the middle of searching can need the long slightly time.Therefore, in order to allow the user find needed English alphabet as early as possible, can adopt the method for quick frame hopping.Concrete operations are: when user's rotation roller, detect the speed of rotation of roller, when this speed surpasses setting value, be not the order traversal set of letters with English alphabet, but jump on set of letters with a specific alphabet length.For example: when user's quick rotation roller, 4 characters can once jump.Can arrive fast like this ideal position near, and then determine the exact position by slow rotation roller.
When the character of roller paragraph definition is not series arrangement, also can adopt the mode of quick frame hopping to realize searching of character.
Roller with character input function provided by the invention not only can be applied on the hand-held device, can also be applied on mobile phone, telepilot and the mouse; Roller provided by the invention not only can be imported Chinese character with the mode that English alphabet adds phrase, can also be by realizing using spell Chinese character input and input English word with the corresponding dissimilar character of the paragraph on the roller rotation direction.
Method provided by the invention can be reduced the area occupied of the subsidiary keyboard of hand-held device effectively, thereby can be had more area to increase display screen; The invention provides a kind of novel input mode, replace mode of operation with keyboard input or handwriting input; Method provided by the invention though the character on the roller is a series arrangement, can locate rapidly when the roller quick rotation, thereby the speed of input character is secure.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, not in order to restriction the present invention, all any modifications of being made within the spirit and principles in the present invention, is equal to and replaces and improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
