The present invention is relevant with electronic equipment.Flat computer, mobile phone and other portable device have the input area (such as touch-screen or Trackpad) of a two dimension usually, and can receive the input (such as finger or the slip of stylus on input area) of two dimension.The present invention uses the general stroke mobile cursor on display screen with directivity, to start the corresponding data of dummy keyboard and function.Among the present invention, cursor can show in any form, forms such as shade, button or traditional arrow.
Dummy keyboard of the present invention is comprised of the virtual key of 5 row * 5 row, and cursor is positioned at this above dummy keyboard.Virtual key is not the entity hardkey of physics, but by Software Create and be shown on the liquid crystal display.Virtual key also can start via writing pencil or touch-screen input with the demonstration of the button on the screen, and they also can be by starting via cursor control such as input equipments such as mouse or trace balls.Usually will start virtual key, the hardware input equipment is absolutely necessary.The hardware input equipment that the present invention uses is a kind of input media of two dimension, such as touch-screen or Trackpad etc.In the prior art, the user usually use the hardware input equipment with cursor movement to virtual key, the button of then pressing on the hardware input equipment starts virtual key.The present invention starts the virtual key of selection and does not need by the button on the hardware input equipment applicable to multi-lingual general stroke with a cover.
In the dummy keyboard of the present invention, the first row comprises: the first row first row virtual key 111, the first row secondary series virtual key 112, the first row the 3rd row virtual key 113, the first row the 4th row virtual key 114 and the first row the 5th row virtual key 115; The second row comprises: the second row first row virtual key 121, the second row secondary series virtual key 122, the second row the 3rd row virtual key 123, the second row the 4th row virtual key 124 and the second row the 5th row virtual keys 125; The third line comprises: the third line first row virtual key 131, the third line secondary series virtual key 132, the third line the 3rd row virtual key 133, the third line the 4th row virtual key 134 and the third line the 5th row virtual key 135; Fourth line comprises: fourth line first row virtual key 141, fourth line secondary series virtual key 142, fourth line the 3rd row virtual key 143, fourth line the 4th row virtual key 144 and fourth line the 5th row virtual key 145; Fifth line comprises: fifth line first row virtual key 151, fifth line secondary series virtual key 152, fifth line the 3rd row virtual key 153, fifth line the 4th row virtual key 154 and fifth line the 5th row virtual key 155.
Each virtual key in the dummy keyboard can be set to different functions.For example, as shown in Figure 1, virtual key 111 is set to nonfunctional, and what is not done namely to start virtual key 111; Virtual key 112 correspondences " editor " are function (Edit); Virtual key 113 correspondences " words tabulation " are function (List).
As shown in Figure 1, the layout of virtual key keyboard can be general 3 row * 4 row telephone keypads (hereinafter to be referred as 3 * 4 keyboards) layouts, or any one matrix form that is rearranged by screen-icon, or other any keyboard layout.In addition, as shown in Figure 1, in the periphery of 3 * 4 keyboards a plurality of outer rings function key can be set also, these outer ring function keys form outer ring key row.As shown in Figure 1, key row in outer ring comprise first row, the 5th row and the first row, and key row in outer ring become the dummy keyboard of one 5 row * 5 row with 3 * 4 keyboard combination.
When the user began to input, cursor started from reference position.Cursor can be shown as dash area or other graphic form of arrow, virtual key.Reference position is the virtual key 133 on the keyboard, namely the virtual key of corresponding numeral " 5 ".The user comes mobile cursor from reference position to another position by the input stroke.Cursor moves execution along the direction of stroke.
Only use 18 strokes among the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, comprising: upper left stroke 21, upper stroke 22, upper right stroke 23, left stroke 24, up time needle cycle stroke 25, right stroke 26, lower-left stroke 27, lower stroke 28, bottom right stroke 29, upper left hook stroke 31, the stroke 32 of rising to the bait, upper right hook stroke 33, left hook stroke 34, counterclockwise circle stroke 35, right hook stroke 36, lower-left hook stroke 37, lower hook stroke 38, bottom right hook stroke 39.In eight different directions, each direction has a straight line stroke and a hook stroke, adds in addition up time needle cycle stroke 25 and counterclockwise circle stroke 35.Input these strokes by the slip gesture on the touch-screen and finger movement.Therefore, 18 general strokes can be carried out multi-lingual data input altogether.
As shown in Figure 4, the present invention identifies stroke by user's slip behavior on the input field 41 in stroke pick-up unit 40, this slip behavior has an origination action of sliding and being connected with directivity, for example, origination action can be a unexpected finger touch contact, independent entity button, initiation command or any other signal for difference of speech type.Stroke ends at a tenth skill, and for example, tenth skill can be to lift the finish command or any other signal for difference that finger leaves sensing touch district, speech type.
Each stroke among Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is independent input, these strokes can be from the input field 41 any part begin and needn't be from the middle part of stroke pick-up unit 40 input fields 41.
As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, stroke pick-up unit 40 can detect stroke starting point 44 and stroke end point 42.Farthest position can calculate stroke summit 43 and vertex vector 45 from stroke starting point 44 to stroke, and vertex vector 45 is to start from from stroke starting point 44 and point to the vector on stroke summit 43.Angle between zero degree line 46 and the vertex vector 45 is drift angle 47.
Can determine the direction of stroke by vertex vector 45.Stroke pick-up unit 40 can be identified vertex vector 45 direction pointed.Eight different directions can be divided into different zones with angle.Equal 45 ° owing to 360 ° divided by 8, in eight directions each has one 45 ° circular arc zone, for example the circular arc zone of right stroke 26 is 0 ° of zone that add or deduct 22.5 °, the circular arc zone of left stroke 24 is 180 ° of zones that add or deduct 22.5 °, the circular arc zone of upper stroke 22 is 90 ° of zones that add or deduct 22.5 °, and the circular arc zone of lower stroke 28 is 270 ° of zones that add or deduct 22.5 °.The direction (but being not limited to the method) of stroke is determined in the circular arc zone that stroke pick-up unit 40 drops on by judgement vertex vector 45.
The present invention can judge that stroke is that hook stroke or straight pen are drawn (but being not limited to the method) by the distance of calculating between stroke summit 43 and the stroke end point 42, if this distance is set number percent less than one of stroke total length, judge that then stroke is that straight pen is drawn, but not the hook stroke.This sets number percent and can set according to actual needs, such as 10% or 5%.
As shown in Figure 6, whether the present invention can judge less than the distance between stroke summit 43 and the stroke starting point 44 whether stroke is circle stroke (but being not limited to the method) by judging the distance between stroke end point 42 and the stroke starting point 44.The circle stroke can be for enclosing stroke 25 or counterclockwise circle stroke 35 clockwise.In addition, whether the present invention can also determine whether to enclose stroke (but being not limited to the method) less than the distance between stroke summit 43 and the stroke end point 42 by judging the distance between stroke end point 42 and the stroke starting point 44.
As shown in Figure 6, the present invention can be according to the relative position of stroke starting point 44, stroke end point 42 and zero degree line 46, and the precedence that occurs of circle stroke left-hand footpath reference point 61 and circle stroke dextrad footpath reference point 62 judges that the circle stroke is clockwise type or type (but being not limited to the method) counterclockwise the time, and its centre circle stroke left-hand footpath reference point 61 and circle stroke dextrad footpath reference point 62 are respectively by the zero degree line 46 of circle stroke barycenter 88 and left and right two intersection points of circle stroke.
The applicable a lot of different stroke recognition methods of the present invention for example, are used the rule of simplification of geometric theory and arithmetic, or traditional Chinese and English character hand-written recognition method.Fundamental purpose of the present invention provides one group intuitively and is common to the stroke input system of various countries' language.This stroke input system can be called as " general stroke " or " general gesture controlled motion ", and the characteristic of its " general " is because the data input that one group of identical stroke of employing and various countries' keyboard character are mapped and can realize different language.This stroke input system can be applicable to various input medias, comprises the detection faces of smart phone, mobile phone, TV, digital camera, PDA, GPS equipment, game station, electronic menu, telepilot, touch-screen, mouse pad, touch-screen, flat computer, iPhone mobile phone, ipad and any energy sensing relative position.The present invention goes for the personal computer of high throughput, mobile device and the Digiplex of low-power consumption.
Aforementioned content has been described a kind of keyboard layout and and has been overlapped the stroke that is used at the mobile cursor of this keyboard layout.When stroke pick-up unit 40 identified a directivity stroke, cursor can the direction from starting point along this stroke move lattice to next virtual key.With reference to Fig. 1, right stroke 26 is reference position from virtual key 133() mobile cursor is to virtual key 134; Upper left stroke 21 moves cursor to virtual key 122; Upper stroke 22 moves cursor to virtual key 123; Upper right stroke 23 moves cursor to virtual key 124; Left stroke 24 moves cursor to virtual key 132; Stroke 25 starts virtual key 133 clockwise; Right stroke 26 moves on to right side virtual key 134 with cursor; Lower-left stroke 27 moves cursor to virtual key 142; Lower stroke 28 moves cursor to virtual key 143; Bottom right stroke 29 moves cursor to virtual key 144.When cursor is mobile in the outer ring key is listed as with 3 interior row * 4 row phone keypad area, can automatically not start the virtual key in this zone.The user can input right stroke 26 again by inputting left stroke 24, makes cursor leave reference position and then turns back to reference position.
Cursor can show with visual cues arbitrarily, for example the shadow region of frame type or arrow.Under input pattern, the cursor locating and displaying be selected virtual key, under the cursor navigation pattern, cursor is exactly the navigation mouse of a standard.
When stroke pick-up unit 40 recognized a directive hook stroke, cursor can the direction from reference position along this hook stroke move lattice, and started the virtual key of cursor arrival place.With reference to Fig. 1, directivity hook stroke moves cursor from reference position, then start virtual key everywhere.Upper left hook stroke 31 starts virtual key 122, the stroke of rising to the bait 32 starts virtual key 123, upper right hook stroke 33 starts virtual key 124, left hook stroke 34 starts virtual key 132, function that counterclockwise circle stroke 35 correspondences " are cancelled input ", right hook stroke 36 starts virtual key 134, and lower-left hook stroke 37 starts virtual key 142, lower hook stroke 38 starts virtual key 143, and bottom right hook stroke 39 starts virtual key 144.In this way, the user can user tropism's hook stroke and corresponding digital 1～9 each virtual key of up time needle cycle stroke 25 startups.It is mobile that the user also can use being combined in 5 row * 5 line unit disk area of these 18 general strokes, the function of startup or any virtual key of stopping using.The method also can be realized such as the global function of section's base of a fruit keyboard and the data input function of various language by the identical stroke of a cover of one-handed performance.
If the user wishes to start the outer ring function key, the user can input first a straight line stroke, and then inputs a stroke.For example, if " space/stop breaking " that the user wants to start the outer ring (Space/Break) key, the user can input first a right stroke 26, and then inputs a right stroke 26; Alternatively, the user also can input first a right straight line stroke 26, and then inputs a right hook stroke 36.In case cursor movement is to outer ring key row, the outer ring function key at this place will be activated automatically.The user also can make a circulation again cursor movement to be listed as to start corresponding outer ring function key to the outer ring key behind the mobile cursor in 3 * 4 keyboard areas.For example, the user can move cursor to virtual key 123 from virtual key 133, to virtual key 124, to virtual key 134 keys, inputs right stroke 26 to start " space/stop breaking " key of outer ring again.
On numeric keypad, the user can be by the input string number to call or to fax.During input alphabet, the user can use numeral as the prediction of letter or word for another example.The present invention does not advise from word-predictor software of new making, but uses widely used word-predictor software on the market.This paper has also described literal forecasting techniquess different in the prior art, and the publication number of announcing on Dec 22nd, 2005 comprising inventor Jason Griffin is in 2005/0283724 the United States Patent (USP), to be entitled as the improved description of predictive text dictionary character library.If the user does not need the method for literal prediction, multi-hit formula input method also can be used after this general stroke method starts any one virtual key.For example, after if virtual key 123 is activated, the user can adopt multi-hit formula input method that the repetition clicking operation is carried out in the input field 41 of stroke pick-up unit 40 and sequentially select data corresponding to this virtual key, select " a " → again to click to select " b " → again to click to select " c " → again to click and select " 2 " → again to click to select " a " → again to click and select " b " → again to click to select " c " as stroke pick-up unit 40 input fields 41 being clicked, by that analogy, finish with a confirmation signal (as inputting another stroke or judging that the interval time of twice click surpasses Preset Time etc.) again.
It is as follows that wikipedia is introduced the literal forecasting techniques: the literal prediction is a kind of input technology, and one of them key/button has represented many letters, such as the numerical key of mobile phone.Result according to numeric string behind the button each time compares character library, shows the words that prediction is possible, rather than repeats to press " letter " that certain key goes permanent order on the conversion button.The literal prediction effectively utilizes the input that less button is finished data, can be used for note, Email, and address book is in calendar and the writing.
Stroke input system of the present invention can use to simplify input with word-predictor software, and its data message according to input is compared character library, shows the possible words that dopes.In general, character library usually has and surpasses 95% words commonly used in order to the prediction comparison.
Below example by the directivity stroke illustrate how to improve the efficient of data input with dummy keyboard and word-predictor software.As shown in Figure 1, in data when input,, cursor moves to any key mapping on the screen according to the direction of stroke from reference position.
The user can use 10 non-hook strokes in 18 directivity strokes, the keyboard of demonstration various countries language is inputted any literal on the contrast screen, these 10 non-hook strokes are: upper stroke, lower stroke, left stroke, right stroke, upper left stroke, upper right stroke, lower-left stroke, bottom right stroke, up time needle cycle stroke and counterclockwise circle stroke.By these 10 non-hook strokes can with cursor movement to the required virtual key starting corresponding function, or leave from the virtual key of cursor position.
For example to input English word " good ", the user only need input relative numeric character string " 4; 6; 6; 3 " this be because: the corresponding numeral of virtual key 132 " 4 " and letter " g ", " h ", " i ", virtual key 134 corresponding numerals " 6 " and letter " m ", " n ", " o ", virtual key 124 corresponding numeral " 3 " and letter ' d 's, " e ", " f ".The user adopt directive straight line stroke from the mobile cursor of reference position behind required virtual key, input again up time needle cycle stroke and confirm input function to start, perhaps input the counterclockwise circle stroke and cancel input function with startup, again operate input thereby leave and turn back to reference position.
For example to input the numeric character string " 4663 " in the above example, the user is from reference position, input a left stroke, mobile cursor is to the virtual key 132 of corresponding letter " g ", " h ", " i ", start virtual key 132 with up time needle cycle stroke 25, then cursor will turn back to reference position.At this, because the virtual key array is at the literal input pattern, and nonnumeric input pattern, so numeral corresponding to this key can not be transfused to, and only in digital input pattern, the numeral that this key is corresponding just can be transfused to.Next step, the user from reference position, slides cursor to the right to virtual key 134 with right stroke again, more clockwise circle stroke 25 affirmations of input, then cursor is got back to again reference position.Then repeat identical step and restart virtual key 134.At last, the user is with upper right stroke 23, or a upper stroke 22 and a right stroke 26, and cursor movement to virtual key 124, is inputted up time needle cycle stroke 25 again and started selected virtual key 124.
In the above example, the another kind of method of input of character string " 4663 " is to use the hook stroke.The direction of its hook is that up time pinhock or inverse time pinhock all can be considered is same hook stroke.The hook stroke has been simplified the loading routine of stroke, because the hook stroke is equivalent to the combination that straight line adds up time needle cycle stroke.The character string " 4663 " of input can be by an input left hook stroke 34, two right hook strokes 36, another upper right hook stroke 33 and finishing.After inputting each hook stroke, cursor can automatically return to reference position.
3 * 4 keyboard inputing characters strings " 4663 " may represent several different words, select correct words, and " the words tabulation " that the user just must start virtual key 123 tops be function key (List).The user can input two upper strokes 22, input on first after stroke 22, cursor is still on the zone of 3 * 4 keyboards, after inputting second upper stroke 22, cursor enters into " words tabulation " function key, because it is the outer ring function key, and the outer ring function key is automatic start key, so this function key is started automatically.
As shown in figure 10, literal prediction selective listing 806 will show optional word at screen." words tabulation " Fumction display the possible words of character string " 4663 " representative: " good ", " home ", " gone " reaches " hood ".
The user can predict the required word of selection the selective listing 806 from literal.As shown in figure 10, the user can by mobile cursor upwards, downwards, to the left or to the right, then input up time needle cycle stroke 25 and confirm to select word " good ".In addition, the user also can by mobile cursor upwards, downwards, to the adjacent key position of required word, then input the hook stroke and confirm to select word " good " to the left or to the right.
The user can use virtual key 125 " revise/fixing " (Fix) function key remove to input the particular letter combination of non-dictionary word, for example password.As shown in Figure 9, the user at input of character string " 4663 " afterwards, function key is spelt separately or Modify password " hm6d " by starting " revising/fixing ".In this process, the user can by cursor movement to virtual key 125 being started " revising/fixing " function, then just can enter interface as shown in Figure 9.
The front by the agency of the method for input of character string " 4663 ".The below introduces several steps of using " revising/fixing " function key input password " hm6d ".As shown in Figure 9, in the step 801, the user along " revise/fixing " (Fix) candidate list of delegation move cursor, this moment, candidate list showed letter " g, h, i; 4 " in this step, the user to letter " h ", confirms cursor movement " h " and fixes the 1st letter with up time needle cycle stroke 25 again.In the step 802, the user along " revise/fixing " (Fix) candidate list of delegation move cursor, this moment, candidate list showed letter " m, n, o, 6 ", in this step, the user to letter " m ", confirms " m " with up time needle cycle stroke with cursor movement again.In the step 803, the user along word " revise/fixing " (Fix) candidate list of delegation move cursor, this moment, candidate list showed letter " m, n, o, 6 ", the user to letter " 6 ", confirms " 6 " with up time needle cycle stroke with cursor movement again.In the step 804, the user along word " revise/fixing " (Fix) candidate list of delegation move cursor, this moment, candidate list showed letter " d, e, f, 3 ", in this step, the user to letter ' d ', confirms " d " with up time needle cycle stroke with cursor movement again.In this process, the user is according to each letter/data of character string sequential processes.If previous fixing letter needs again to change, the user can select and start " retreating " and (Back) is backwards to that previous character position is sequentially revised and fixing corresponding letter again.In the above process, when alphabetical in the user selection candidate list, do not need to point the key of pressing on the touch-screen, but use up time needle cycle stroke 25, user's position or sight of not needing to shift hand is sought other button like this, can keep same gesture and puts forth effort.Up time needle cycle stroke 25 can be minor diameter, get final product such as half inch, this so that the position that the user does not need significant mobile hand go by " selecting/confirm " button to the opposite side of touch-screen.In the step 805, the user can select data " hm6d " or original character string " 4663 " by up time needle cycle stroke 25, or (Return) withdraws from " revising/fixing " functional mode by starting " returning ", inputs other literal again.
If do not use straight line stroke and up time needle cycle stroke 25, the user can move and starts adjacent letter/data with eight hook strokes arbitrarily.
On 3 * 4 keyboards, the user may wish to enter the other Languages pattern, the input other Languages.As shown in Figure 1, the user uses " pattern " function key on the virtual key 121 can mode switching instruction.As shown in Figure 7,3 * 4 keyboards can be shown as syllable pattern formula but not the alpha type pattern; In 3 * 4 keyboards of syllable pattern formula, syllable can represent hiragana symbols, Roman phonetic or ASCII letter; The displayed keyboard of Fig. 7 below the layout origin of 3 * 4 keyboards; Behind the input syllable, character library can the generation forecast words.As shown in Figure 8, section's base of a fruit keyboard of general computing machine also can be with on alpha type mode arrangements to 3 * 4 keyboards.Cursor movement can be changed language input mode automatically on " pattern " function key of outer ring; The displayed keyboard of Fig. 8 below section's base of a fruit keyboard is originated from the layout on alpha type mode arrangements to 3 * 4 keyboards.Figure 11 is the input in Chinese pattern, and the user can use Chinese phonetic alphabet tabulation 807, just as using the English mode tabulation.
After being familiar with and having remembered the layout of 3 * 4 keyboards, the user can close the demonstration of dummy keyboard, so that the stroke gesture can be executed on the interface of display application program overlappingly, thereby has saved the space, has increased the visual range of application program.In this case, cursor and keyboard layout all are sightless, only have when the outer ring function key is activated, and cursor just can occur again, and for example, when starting " words tabulation " function for user selection, cursor will occur again as vision guide.
Among the present invention, show that the display screen of dummy keyboard can for being independent of another display screen outside the personal electronic device screen, can be same display screen with the personal electronic device screen also; For example, for larger-size intelligent TV set, can utilize the display screen that is arranged in the TV remote controller to show dummy keyboard, the display screen in this TV remote controller aims at and shows that dummy keyboard is used, and is separate with the screen of display of television programmes; And for the less mobile phone of size, just can utilize same mobile phone screen to show dummy keyboard and user application.
Among the present invention, the input field 41 of stroke pick-up unit 40 can be arranged on the display screen that shows dummy keyboard, also can be arranged on outside the display screen that shows dummy keyboard.In addition, be arranged on when the input field 41 of stroke pick-up unit 40 that (this moment, display screen had touch function on the display screen that shows dummy keyboard, be touch display screen) time, input field 41 is on the same touch display screen with the zone that shows dummy keyboard (hereinafter to be referred as the dummy keyboard zone), input field 41 and dummy keyboard zone can for separating and two separate zones, also can be two zones that overlap each other.For example among Fig. 7, the upper right stroke 23 that the user is input on the input field 41 is stacked and placed on the dummy keyboard zone, and in this case, what stroke was used is contrast colors, so that the user can easily see performed stroke direction.
When the input field 41 of stroke pick-up unit 40 and dummy keyboard zone are two of overlapping each other on touch display screen when regional, the user will be on the dummy keyboard of touch display screen moveable finger, unless the user has carried out circle stroke or hook stroke, this movement can not start any virtual key.This is seemingly perverse, because in convention, the user only needs to press the key mapping wanting to press at dummy keyboard and gets final product, and needn't move cursor by stroke.Yet little for screen, finger is large, the user is not easy correctly to press the situation that institute wants the key mapping pressed, and the input field 41 that just relatively is fit to this stroke pick-up unit 40 of employing has been overlapped in the pattern on the dummy keyboard zone.
