System for accomplishing live keyboard layout

Abstract

A system of implementing flexible keyboard layout for inputting text into an electronic device, where a user's input is mapped to a character set based on a keyboard layout, and an input sequence is formed. The user may customize different keyboard layouts and switch among these different layouts arbitrarily. Also, an auto error-correction may be achieved, and smart words selection may be achieved based on context. With the system of the invention, the design cost of the portable device manufactures may be reduced significantly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic equipment, in particular to the technical field of electronic equipment information input, and specifically refers to a system capable of implementing flexible keyboard layouts for users to input text into electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] In modern life, with the continuous development of integrated circuit technology, various electronic devices have appeared. On these numerous electronic devices (such as handheld computers, smart phones, embedded systems, pocket computers, etc.), due to Restricted by factors such as size and manufacturing cost, a full-size hardware keyboard cannot be equipped, so inputting on such devices is usually full of challenges. [0003] Traditional mobile phone or portable device keyboards use keys that combine multiple characters. Through the supporting software and the built-in dictionary file, the words that the user wants to input are predicted acc...

Problems solved by technology

Especially for the software keyboard on the touch screen, this method is less flexible, and has three main disadvantages: first, it is impossible to flexibly change the keyboard layout

This method is feasible in theory, but it is too complicated in practice, and it is difficult to implement due to the limited computing power on general portable devices.
