Chinese input method used for touch screen electronic device

Abstract

The invention discloses a Chinese input method used for a touch screen electronic device. The Chinese input method comprises the steps of: arranging an initial consonant list and a vowel list of pinyin at two sides of a screen respectively, and setting a character selection auxiliary key region which includes a tone selection key; after inputting an initial consonant by touching, locking vowels which cannot be combined with the initial consonant to form characters by using a special way, and only keeping the vowels which can be combined with the initial consonant to form characters for the subsequent selection; after inputting the vowels by touching, selecting the tones to finish the input; and after selecting a character needing to be input by touching, returning to the initial state. The Chinese input method used for the touch screen electronic device is more convenient and faster to operate as the initial consonants and the vowels are respectively displayed on the left and right sides of the screen and a user can operate with left and right hand at the same time, and reduces CPU (Central Processing Unit) power consumption as a system is unnecessary to wait for the display of the vowel list after the selection of the initial consonants.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input method, in particular to a Chinese input method for touch-screen electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, there are generally three methods of pinyin input methods for touch electronic devices. One is to simulate PC keyboards on the touch screen to input pinyin, and the other is to simulate 0-9 numeric keyboards on the touch screen (set 3 letters on each key) and *# To input pinyin, the third is to use the full screen to display the initial consonants, and then display the finals to input pinyin after selection. [0003] (1) Disadvantages of Method 1: [0004] When inputting, both hands must be suspended above the touch screen, instead of fingers lightly resting on the keyboard like when using a PC keyboard. If you use it for too long, it will cause wrist strain. [0005] (2) Disadvantages of Method 2: [0006] Although the 0-9 numeric keypad input can be operated with one hand, due to the co...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] When operating with one hand, the palm must be suspended above the screen. The disadvantages are similar to method 1. When operating with both hands, for touch-screen electronic devices with large screens (above 7 inches), the thumbs of both hands cannot effectively reach the consonants in the middle of the screen. It is easy to cause misoperation, and every time you click on the initial system, you can refresh the screen to display the final for the user to choose. It cannot display the sound and the final at the same time, which greatly reduces the efficiency of pinyin input.
