Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a Chinese character input method for an electronic device of a handheld device, a special type of Chinese character input method according to the selected number of Chinese characters.卞凡便和 [Previous Technology] In today's digital age, high-tech products are developing rapidly. With the various electronic products of ^, especially the portable electronic products that are easy to carry: the widespread use of 'has become an indispensable part of many people's lives. 2 There are many different ways of inputting handheld electronic products. However, there are still problems in the use of (four) and ^ convenience. r, for example, 'Please refer to "1A" to "1E", which is the method for displaying the Chinese character input method in the prior art. The method is shown in the figure "^" and "1E". The palm-type electronic device 10 and, - ί元 input area 2G, - word selection block 30, - page turning menu 31 a typing area 40. Take the Chinese character intelligent pinyin input method as an example. When the 2G loser-input combination "wang," in the input area, there are = 4 perfectly matched candidates in the database I, then the handheld electronic device仞The selected word block 30 is listed according to the preset degree of the 44 candidate words, and the more frequently used words are placed in front. Each page has limited space due to the selected word position 30, so the first page only Display the preset common level of 1328553 The highest eight words, as shown in the "Day Eight Diagram", to select other less-used words, you need to use the page-turning menu 31 to display the candidate words of another page, The six-page display is the candidate with the least common preset level, as shown in Figure 1B. When an input = "wen" is input in the character input area 2, there are 1 to 5 perfectly matched candidates in the database, and the palm-type electronic device 10 is also in the selected field 3 The common degrees of presupposition of 105 candidate words are arranged in order, and the more frequently used words are listed first, as shown in "Cth Figure". However, when the user inputs a character "W" in the sub-input area 20, the candidate words that match or exactly match the input character parts in the database contain at least candidates that exactly match "wang" and "wen". There are more than 149 words in the word, and the palm-type electronic device 10 will firstly arrange 44 candidate words that exactly match "wang" in the word selection field 30, for example: Wang Wang to Wang ☆, Wang, Wang... ...forgetting the cum, then sorting out the 105 candidate words that match the "wen", and the order of the arrangement is as shown in the "id id" j "1E" In the know-how, if you want to enter a character "w" to search - commonly used? For example, "smell", but because of the lack of design, the common word "smell" is arranged behind the rarely used word ^, it takes a lot of time and spirit to turn pages to find one or two users. Because the prior art only arranges the common degree of a fixed input combination, but lacks a unified database to compare the common degree of candidate words between different input groups, and even the degree of f of all Chinese characters. The problem of 1328753. In data technology, often because different rounding methods have a -Bell library, so there are different constants between different input methods, resulting in users in (four) (four) different rounds of people:: Arrangement method Different, it takes more time to do the selection of words. In the technology, the (4) library materials are used in the 4th level and are not fixed and fixed, but often different users, usage habits and personal common fonts. There is a difference, so 'if the common level of words in the database is based on the default' and can no longer be updated by the user f, so that the user spends more time on the word selection, Problems that need to be improved SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a database having all the Chinese characters and their corresponding common degree values, and the second is available for various input method common database, to reach the Chichijia The method of selecting the word order is to solve the problem that the order of common use of Chinese characters in the prior art is limited to the comparison of multiple candidate words in one input combination, and often causes inconvenience and time consuming on selecting words. The problem that different input methods should adapt to different database and Chinese character arrangement order can also be solved. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, the present invention discloses a Chinese character input method that determines the order of the selected words according to the selected number of Chinese characters. First, 8 2 The cultivating library 'is used to record the corresponding parameter value of each Chinese character, Qiu \ one character, and searches the database for the matching character = matching, the part matching - group Chinese characters, according to this group of Chinese characters t For each Chinese character, (4) the value of the parameter value, the material (4) in the word selection of this group of Han" if there are more than two Chinese characters have the same: with the parameter value, then according to this pen Arrange, and finally accumulate according to the commonly used parameter value corresponding to the word===, and the common parameter value of the Chinese character after the u is added to the database, and the method can be applied to any Chinese character input method. The utility model has the advantages that the database provided by the invention is a database which can be shared by all Chinese character input methods, and can simultaneously compare the common degrees of all Chinese characters, regardless of the input-single-character or one. The input combination can be arranged in the database according to the corresponding constant value of the corresponding Chinese characters, so that the searcher can obtain the word selection field according to the common degree by any search. The time it takes to select a word. Moreover, the database of the present invention is a dynamically updated database. When the user selects the Chinese character, it will be recorded in the data repository, which can be a database updated according to the user's needs.

The meaning of partial matching refers to the search in the database. The characters contain more than one; ^The 3 characters included in the static are included in the input of the characters. If there is no straight word, then the -"No," instruction is made to make the process if: To determine whether the user has finished inputting. On the other hand, if there is more than one candidate searched, a "yes," order will be obtained, and the constant value corresponding to the database iUtl will be continued. , search brother.

The system will sequentially arrange multiple values in sequence (step 25), in the form of large households, columns 'but not yet displayed in the display. Then, the system continues to wait for = husband = use ΐ whether to end the input (step · if you make 匕, , port input or 疋 when you get a "no" in the first input, then you can continue to use the input device to re-enter At least one character H to step one 210), and repeat the above-mentioned process operation to search and arrange:: input word 兀 σ (5 points match or all matches at least one candidate word. But ^ user wants to end input 'use Input device supply-confirmation means that the system obtains a "yes" command and ends the input character action, and displays all the candidate words searched for and ranked according to their common parameter values in the display. (Step 27〇), forming 丄(10) 753, and 'If the candidate word exceeds ——, it is necessary to use the input device to select an appropriate candidate word (step YES) when the user selects a candidate. After the word, the input device transmits the command to the system so that the selected candidate word is displayed on the display device on the display area 'at the same time, the system also sends back - enters 5 times and then recalculates the data to the beta library 130. Is selected The commonly used parameter values of the man (step 290), that is, the common parameter values of the selected Chinese characters are accumulated in the database. Each time selected, the common parameter values are added, so that the regular metrics can be The user's personal habits are used for dynamic adjustment, and the efficiency of the user's input of Chinese characters can be continuously improved. The number of Chinese characters selected according to the above-mentioned methods determines the Chinese character input method in which the selected characters are arranged in succession, and can be based on the group candidate. The values of the commonly used parameters are large and small, and are arranged in order. However, if the actual operation is performed, the group candidate word towel has two or more candidate words having the same common parameter value. The number of pens will be arranged in a row, and the arrangement is such that the number of strokes is arranged in descending order. Therefore, when the user uses the user for a certain period of time according to the user's personal preference, it is more likely to be generated according to the individual's use of the word. Please refer to "Fig. 4", "Fig. 4" is the fourth figure shown in Figure 4 of the Chinese character input method according to the number of selected Chinese characters according to the selected number of selected characters. An example of a palm-type electronic device shows that the present invention effectively improves the problems of the prior art, such as a character input 12 1328753 area 410, a word selection block 42〇, a page turning menu 421, and a typing area 430. First, the Chinese character smart pinyin input method is used to input the character, and a character "w," is input in the character input area 410, and the input character is transmitted to the system and then transmitted to an input method database, and input. The legal database searches all the partially matched or all matched Chinese characters into a group of candidate words, and then uses the database provided by the present invention to record the commonly used parameter values corresponding to each Chinese character, and searches for each of the partially matched or all matched groups. A common parameter value of a candidate word and a common parameter value corresponding to all the candidate words in the group, and arranged according to the commonly used parameter values by large and small. When the user inputs the confirmation instruction, the character selection field is 42〇. All candidate words are listed in the sequence for the user to select. Similarly, each page displays only eight candidate words due to the limited space of the selection block, but the page turning menu 421 can be used to continue to select the candidate words displayed on the other page. Different from the prior art in the prior art, according to the above-mentioned input characters, the first page of the word selection field 420 will be displayed first, "Wang Wang Wangwang Forgot to Note" until the sixth page. It will show "Encourage 塱魍 塱魍 Wen Wen,,, and in the present invention, the first page of the word block 420 will display 'Wang Forget,', as shown in Figure 4. Therefore, it is possible to solve the problems in the second and second common words "question", "smell," and put the words "塱,,,", 魍, and later, but to compare and compare the common parameters of all candidate words. Values are displayed in order, so that the time required for word selection can be greatly reduced. 1328753 Therefore, the present invention utilizes an integrated database, which can be shared by all Chinese character input methods, and can simultaneously compare all Chinese characters. By using the parameter values, the user can search for the database under the pure input to obtain the word selection block arranged according to the common degree, and reduce the time taken for the word selection. Moreover, the present invention provides a dynamically updateable database when used. After selecting the Chinese character, it will be recorded in the database, which can be the database of the user's needs. It can be transferred to the Chinese character input method in the palm-type electronic device H).
