Problems solved by technology

[0012] It can be seen from the above process description that in order to complete the word input, the user needs to press the function key multiple times to realize it; and as the appearance design of mobile computing devices becomes more and more personalized and fashionable, its function The layout setting of the key area is also changed in many ways; thus, the input efficiency of the user in the process of word input is reduced, and the learning cost and adaptation cost are increased.

Embodiment 1

[0056] refer to figure 2 , shows the present invention utilizes numeric keypad to carry out the method embodiment 1 of word input, can comprise the following steps:

[0057] Step 201, receiving the user's press on the number key;

[0058] Step 202, converting and displaying the corresponding encoded character string;

[0059] Steps 201 and 202 are techniques commonly used in the input process of existing mobile terminal equipment, and are only briefly described here. In step 201, the user's pressing of the number keys may include pressing of multiple number keys to complete the input of the pinyin code; wherein, it may also include continuous multiple pressing of a certain number key, such as inputting a certain number corresponding to the number key. specific letters.

[0060] In step 202, depending on the specific encoding mapping and conversion rules, the obtained encoded character strings may also be different, which will not be described in detail here.

[0061] It s...

Embodiment 2

[0071] refer to Figure 4 , shows the second embodiment of the method of using a numeric keyboard to input words in the present invention, which may include the following steps:

[0072] Step 401, receiving the user's press on the number key;

[0073] Step 402, converting and displaying the corresponding encoded character string;

[0074] Step 403, converting the preferred encoded character string to obtain and display corresponding word candidates;

[0075] Step 404, receiving a user instruction, and determining other coded character string candidates selected by the user; for example, the focus position can be moved by direction keys to select the desired coded character string;

[0076] Step 405: Convert the coded character string selected by the user to obtain corresponding word candidates; and replace the original word candidates for display.

[0077] Step 406, when the user presses the number key 1, output the preferred word candidate on the screen. Of course, if the...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a device using a digital keyboard to input words; the method can comprise the following steps: receiving the pressing of the user to the number keys; converting the information into the corresponding encoded character strings and then displaying the encoded character strings; converting the preferred encoded character string to obtain the corresponding word-candidate items and display the candidate items; and receiving the pressing of the user to the number key 1, and then outputting the preferred word-candidate item through the screen. The invention can significantly improve the information input efficiency of the user and substantially facilitates the rapid selection and input for the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of information input, in particular to a method and a device for inputting words by using a numeric keyboard. Background technique [0002] With the needs of information communication, people increasingly need to input information through mobile devices with only numeric keypads, for example, input words through the numeric keypads on mobile phones, PDAs or remote controls. [0003] see figure 1 The digital keyboard simulation diagram, the usual keyboard layout is divided into function option key areas (such as figure 1 the upper part of ) and the number key area (such as figure 1 lower part of ). The usual number keys can only be used to input numbers. If you want to input language words, you need to implement some encoding mapping and transformation rules. However, since the number keys on the numeric keypad only have ten keys of 0-9, for most code mapping and transformation rules, these ten keys are l...
