Method and device for inputting rare characters

Abstract

The invention relates to an input method and a device thereof for characters that are used rarely. The method comprises the steps that: 1) a data base for characters that are used rarely is established, including candidate characters, components of the candidate characters, and a data base for characters that are used rarely of the pronunciation and the etymon sets of the components of the candidate characters; 2) the pronunciationor etymon sets inputted by the user of the components of the characters that are used rarely are received; 3) the components corresponding to the pronunciation or the etymon sets are searched from the data base for characters that are used rarely; 4) the searched components corresponding to the pronunciation are displayed; 5) the components corresponding to the characters that are used rarely are selected by the user; 6) the candidate characters corresponding to the components are selected from the data base for characters that are used rarely according to the components selected by customer; 7) the wanted character that are used rarely is selected from the candidate characters by user. The invention provides an inputting method and a device thereof used for quickly and accurately inputting characters that are used rarely.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input method and device, in particular to an input method and device for rare characters. Background technique [0002] Along with the rapid development of computer, Chinese character input has become the same basic function of computer. There are many Chinese character input methods that have applied for a patent on the market at present, mostly utilize the shape or sound of Chinese characters to solve the problem of Chinese character input. These Chinese character input methods all have the defect to a certain degree when inputting rare words. [0003] Shape-based input methods, such as: radical strokes, total strokes and other input methods, must first calculate the strokes of Chinese characters when inputting Chinese characters, which greatly prolongs the input time, and the number of Chinese characters that meet the same conditions is also large, resulting in There are too many candidate words, and it is very inconven...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Shape-based input methods, such as: radical strokes, total strokes and other input methods, must first calculate the strokes of Chinese characters when inputting Chinese characters, which greatly prolongs the input time, and the number of Chinese characters that meet the same conditions is also large, resulting in There are too many candidate words, and it is very inconvenient to input and search

And when encountering rare characters with complicated strokes and rarely used, it is often impossible to easily know what the radicals are, which adds to the difficulty of searching

[0004] Another example is the Cangjie input method. Users need to master all the code retrieval rules and methods of the Cangjie input method. For some special characters and characters with complicated and trivial strokes, the user is often confused when code retrieval, and it is difficult to grasp, which also affects the input speed

[0005] In addition, input methods based on pronunciation, such as pinyin input method or Zhuyin input method, must understand the pronunciation of Chinese characters to output Chinese characters. For some rare and rarely used characters that cannot be interpreted, it is often impossible to query them.

In addition, due to the different accents of Chinese dialects, it is even more difficult to find Chinese characters based on pronunciation

[0006] Based on this, as far as the current technology is concerned, no matter the input method based on the shape or sound of Chinese characters, it is impossible for the user to quickly find the desired word without knowing the radical group or pronunciation of the Chinese character. The selected Chinese characters cause inconvenience for users to input Chinese characters
