Description

A fast information input method based on focal context association words

Technical field

The invention relates to an information input method, in particular to a fast information input method based on a focus context associative word. Background technique

Various types of terminal equipment are popularized and used in depth, serving all aspects of people's production and life. There are many types and forms of terminals, and people always use terminal to complete through human-computer interaction. The terminal presents content such as information to the user through visual effect sound effects or even tactile sense of smell, and the user completes the information transmission to the terminal through various types of input devices and input methods. The purpose of using various types of input devices and input methods is to pass information to the terminal, such as telling the terminal what commands need to be executed, such as completing the operation of the graphical interface on the terminal; for example, inputting text. Text input is an important scene of human-computer interaction. For example, text input occasions include inputting text messages, business cards, real-time chat, writing documents, publishing microblogs, searching for keywords, etc., of course, the form is not limited to these. Text entry is an important process for the user to convey content information such as language and text to the terminal.

Since the scene in which the user uses the terminal for text input is very frequent, how to conveniently allow the user to complete the text input and reduce the consumption of time and effort is a problem that the terminal design and the research and development are tirelessly explored, and thus the input device and the input method need to be continuously performed. Improve.

In the case of input devices, there was no keyboard at the earliest, only the tape was punched, and the binary code was represented in the form of 0, 1 to complete the input. The rear keyboard appears. Each type of keyboard is a basic text input device, which improves the input efficiency. The keyboard can also be divided into 3*4 keyboard, fasttap keyboard, qwerty keyboard and so on. The appearance of the mouse makes the user's operation of the graphical interface more convenient, and can easily complete the operation on the graphical interface. Based on the principle of the mouse's graphic operation, the virtual keyboard (button) operation can be completed, and even the writing of the text can be completed. , the resulting trajectory is recognized as text. The appearance of the touch screen, especially the appearance of the capacitive touch screen, allows the display and use of the virtual keys to be seamlessly integrated, making the input of text writing and track recognition more convenient.

Taking the input method as an example, there are input methods such as pinyin input and stroke input, as well as a common five-stroke input method on the PC, a fast code input method, and the like, and a common input method of a phrase and a sentence input.

By analyzing the input method, each of the complex input processes includes the following three important input sub-processes: (1) keyword sequence input and confirmation process; (2) candidate word input process; (3) association word input process. The following three processes are illustrated by taking the pinyin input in the 3*4 keyboard as an example.

The first is the keyword sequence input and confirmation process. When the user inputs a sequence of buttons, there is a key sequence input and confirmation process. The user inputs 64 two buttons to obtain a keyword sequence such as ni mi ng, which provides ni by default. The candidate word sequence "You Nini is tired of mud." The user can directly select the candidate word of ni, or switch to mi or ng as the keyword to obtain the corresponding candidate word sequence of the new keyword, and the user can also delete or supplement the input keyword.

Then there is the candidate input process. The user provides the candidate word sequence according to the ni keyword to complete the input of the candidate word "you" of the keyword ni by selecting the confirmation. Since the new input completes "you", the sequence of the associated words of "you" is provided. Also said that it will be."

Finally, the input process of the association word. The user enters the associative word "we" by selecting the confirmation according to the newly entered "you" sequence of the association words, and then continues to appear the associative word sequence "good two said that there is no going", the user can continue to input "Good", and get the associative word "Let's look like a good friend to play."

The above expression is the input process experienced by the current 3*4 keyboard pinyin input method on the market; other input methods can also be divided into the above three stages, and the first stage may be omitted according to the actual situation, but the candidate words and associative words All exist. For example, the pinyin input of the Qwerty keyboard is also the same three processes, but because the Qwerty keyboard body provides 26 letters, the keyword ni can be directly input directly, there is no keyword selection and confirmation process, and subsequent candidate words and associations The input process for words is the same. For example, the handwriting recognition input method, after completing the handwriting input, the user obtains the candidate words obtained according to the handwriting recognition, and after the user inputs the candidate words, there is a corresponding input of the associative words.

It can be seen from the above that the current input method of the market has the above three stages, and the detailed description is as follows: The first stage keyword sequence input and confirmation process. To complete the entry of the text word, the user enters a sequence of key words and confirms. For example, the pinyin input method is used for inputting Chinese characters. The input process is characterized in that a sequence of keys and the like can correspond to one or more keyword sequences.

In the second stage candidate word input process, the order of the candidate word sequences is sorted and displayed to the user according to the word frequency of all possible words obtained by the keyword sequence. The candidate word sequence is arranged according to the word frequency. If the line/page is not displayed, the page may need to be turned. Keyboard input has a feature that is convenient for space operations. Space operations correspond to candidate words in the first position. The input method in the market where the space bar is provided often makes full use of this feature, using the space bar ( Or a similar key) for quick input.

The third stage of the association word input process, based on the word just entered as the association basis, providing the association word for use The user makes a selection, and after the user inputs the associative word, the association continues to be based on the newly input associative word, and the user's new associative word sequence is provided for the user to select.

Among them, keywords, candidate words, and associative words are provided by the thesaurus. For example, in the 3*4 Pinyin input method, the key sequence 24 is input, and the keywords such as ai, bi, ci, ch are searched from the lexicon, and the keyword ai is selected by default, and the search is obtained from the lexicon "love, ang, Ai, 挨, P矣, wailing, dwarf, 哎", etc. correspond to the candidate words of ai, this sequence is arranged according to the word frequency given in the lexicon. When the user inputs "love", Lenovo gets "love, You, Xin, Shang, Ren" and other associative words are also arranged according to the word frequency given in the thesaurus. For example, the handwriting input recognition process, after the user inputs the "permanent" trajectory, obtains candidate words such as "Yongshui also seeks" from the vocabulary of the recognition algorithm, where the candidate words are similarities given in the lexicon of the recognition algorithm. Sexually arranged, and then select the input candidate "Yong", and then input the corresponding associative words, where the candidate words are trained from the input of the French words.

The above analysis of the current status of the implementation of the market input method. There are several shortcomings in the input method on the market, which are also the problems to be solved by the present invention, as follows:

(1) When the user newly inputs a keyword of a word, the obtained candidate word sequence is not necessarily required by the user, and often the user also needs to perform multiple switching confirmations and selections to obtain the desired input result.

(2) When the user moves the input focus through the cursor or the touch screen, the association word is not updated, or the sequence of the associative words of the last input candidate word is not associated with the latest focus text. Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fast information input method based on a focus context associative word, which can utilize the characteristics of the user input with focus and context to select candidate words that are more in line with the user's needs, thereby improving the convenience of entry.

The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problem is to provide a fast information input method based on a focus context associative word, which includes the following steps: a) acquiring a focus context and a keyword input by a user; b) selecting a keyword and The candidate word sequence obtained by the selected keyword is reordered in combination with the focus context associative word and selected by the user; c) the input candidate word is selected, and the association word is provided for the user to select according to the current focus context.

The above-mentioned information fast input method based on a focus context associative word, wherein if the input keyword has multiple combined sequences, the candidate word sequence obtained by the input keyword is combined with the focus context associative word to reorder the keyword and provide the user with the keyword select.

The above information fast input method based on focus context associative words, wherein when a new input is entered Key of the keyword; or increasing or decreasing the number of valid keys in the key sequence on the basis of the input, the step a) includes the following process: first finding a matching keyword sequence from the input method library according to the key sequence; Obtaining a corresponding associative word sequence from the current focus context, by searching for the keyword information corresponding to the above-mentioned association word sequence, preferentially providing the portion overlapping with the keyword sequence to the user, thereby completing the reordering of the keyword sequence; The sorted keyword sequence is for the user to select.

The above-mentioned information fast input method based on the focus context associative word, wherein, after the user selects or selects a keyword by default, the step b) includes the following process: first searching for a matching candidate word sequence according to the selected keyword; The current focus context obtains the corresponding associative word sequence; then the candidate word sequence obtained by the keyword is reordered according to the contextual association words, and a new candidate word sequence is obtained for the user to select.

The above-mentioned information fast input method based on a focus context associative word, wherein the candidate word sequence and the associative word sequence are sorted by word frequency in the lexicon in the pinyin input method, and sorted by similarity in the handwriting input method.

The above-mentioned information fast input method based on the focus context associative word, wherein, after the user switches the input focus, the step c) acquires the current focus context in real time and provides the association word for the user to select according to the new focus context.

The above information fast input method based on the focus context associative word, wherein if the current focus context is empty, the common words are provided as the associative words for the user to select.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a fast input method for information based on a focus context associative word, and combines the association words obtained by inputting the focus context content to adjust the order of keywords in the input process, candidates for candidate words The order of the word order, and the order of the associative words, so as to select candidate words that are more in line with the user's needs, and improve the convenience of entry.

The invention will now be further described with reference to the drawings and embodiments. 1 is a schematic diagram of a module architecture of an input system used in the present invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a main flow of information fast input based on a focus context associative word according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the method for quickly inputting information based on a focus context associative word provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

a) obtaining a focus context and a keyword input by the user; if the input keyword has multiple combined sequences, the candidate word sequence obtained by the input keyword is combined with the focus context associative word to reorder the keyword and is selected by the user;

b) selecting a keyword and reordering the candidate word sequence obtained by the selected keyword in combination with the focus context associative word for selection by the user;

c) Select the input candidate and provide the association word for the user to select according to the current focus context.

Observing the text input process, the user always inputs based on an input focus, and the input focus has the focus above or below, or both. If you follow the input order from left to right, then the above is the word on the left (char/word), and the following is the word on the right. Some languages are entered from right to left, such as Arabic, then the above is the word on the left, and the following is the word on the right. The present invention is based on such a design idea: the user's input process is a process in which the user deletes, modifies or supplements the input focus, and the user's newly entered content must be closely related to the context, and the design idea is applied to In fact, it can greatly improve the input efficiency.

Applying the above design idea to the input process of the keyword sequence, you can quickly match keywords that match the user's wishes. For example, in the Pinyin input method of the 3*4 keyboard, the user wants to input "this", after the current input focus is "such as", the user is ready to input "this", and then the input key sequence 24 corresponds to ai bi ch ci, etc. Keyword. The design of the market is based on the default focus on ai, and gives the corresponding candidate words of ai for the user to select. In this example, the user finds that it does not meet the requirements, so it is necessary to switch to ci as the keyword, and then select ci. Candidate word "this". The design of the present invention is: analyzing the context content of the focus, in this case, the following is empty, the software module analyzes the associative word of the above "such as" in the current input focus, and obtains the associative word sequence is "What is the meaning of this wish? "Smoke dream painting", corresponding to the keyword is "he guo ci yi j in tong yuan hua yan meng hua,,, comparative analysis can be found that only ci is in line with the requirements, because there is a candidate for ci "this" is " For example, "the associative word, without the candidate word of ai bi ch is the case of associative words, so the possibility of excluding ai bi ch for the user, directly select the current keyword as ci (instead of ai), and provide ci at the same time. The candidate words are for the user to select. If there are two or more keywords with the associative words of the current focus of the candidate words, the keywords are preferentially provided to the user for selection. By default, the first one found is selected, and other keywords without candidate words are placed in the low priority position for the user to select.

Applying the above design idea to the input process of candidate words, you can quickly match candidate words that match the user's wishes. For example, if the user wants to input "mature", the current input focus is after "cheng". When the user confirms that shu is the keyword, the candidate word sequence of shu needs to be provided to the user. The order of the candidate words in the market is: The frequency of the words obtained by this pinyin shows the associative words, such as "the number of trees is sorrowful and uncle", and the order of "cooked" is already in the eighth position after the comparison, if there is no more than 8 in the current line In the case of words, you will need to turn pages to find "cooked". The input method of the present invention is: analyzing the context content at the focus, in this case, the following is empty, the software module analyzes the above-mentioned "conformation" of the input focus, and obtains the associative word sequence. The fruit of the fruit is divided into the true language of the Buddha, and the other key corresponds to the keyword "gong zhang wei le shu ji du j iu yuan li guo ben j iao ren fen zhen yu fo quan tian bai It is found that only "cooked," the word is consistent with the keyword shu, and also meets the above associative words, so the sequence of candidate words for the user is "the number of cooked tree books is Shushu Shushu". One page will see "cooked", and select "cooked" by shortcut keys such as spaces. If there are multiple candidate words that are contextual contextual situations of the current focus, then these candidate words are given priority to the user for selection, default The first one found is selected, and the candidate words of other associative words that are not the current focus context are selected for placement in the lower priority position.

Applying the above design idea to the input process of the associative words, you can match the association words that match the user's wishes more quickly. For example, the user has entered "Hello" and wants to change to "Hello". When the user enters Hello, the input focus is after "Good", so he gets the associative word "Let's look like a good friend." ". When the user re-focuses the focus to "you", the design of the market is: Keep the associative words based on the last input word to get the associative word sequence "Let's look like a good friend," or even provide a reference word. , then the user can not directly choose to get "we". The design of the present invention is: analyzing the context content at the focus, in this example, the following is not empty as "good" can be used as an auxiliary judgment condition, and the software module analyzes the above-mentioned "you" associative words of the input focus directly, and directly obtains "you" "The sequence of associative words is "we are good at saying that it is also said", so users can easily select the input "we" directly.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a fast input process of information based on a focus context associative word according to the present invention.

The information input process based on the focus context associative words of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 4: First, the user performs an operation of creating a new editing interface, and the new editing interface may have one or more editing boxes, as shown in step 1 in FIG. The user will focus on an edit box for input. The currently selected edit box will often prompt the user with the cursor: This edit box has the focus, and the current input position is here, see step 2 in Figure 4.

If the context of the current focus is not empty, the corresponding association words can be provided for the user to select, and if it is empty, the common words can be provided as the associative words for the user to select (not necessarily provided);

346 and 356.

The above completes the display of the user's current editing state, waiting for the user's input.

Waiting for user input at this time, can be divided into the following four input possibilities

I. The user can move the input focus. The way to move the focus can be a button or a touch, etc. It is not limited to these forms. Under the new focus, new editing results and focus information are displayed to the user, and a new association word is provided. See step 7892346 or step 7892356 in Figure 3. Here is the application scenario of the focus context information of the present invention in the third and third fingers mentioned above in the third stage: the associative word input process, the corresponding associative word association sequence is obtained from the focus context, as shown in the reference line in FIG. Scene three". This application is based on the user's action of adjusting the focus, recalculating and finding the associated words in time.

II. The user deletes the text, or adds the text by pasting, etc., thereby displaying the editing state. This process is illustrated as step 7 in section 102 or in step 710102356.

III. The user can complete the input of the association word by selecting the association word, and the input method module adds the association word at the focus, thereby completing the input of the association word, displaying the new editing result and the focus information to the user, and completing the new association word. provide. This process is the same as the existing input method on the market. See step 7 10112346 or step 710112356 in Figure 4.

IV. The user can end the editing and exit the editing interface. This process is the same as the existing input method on the market. See step 10 in Figure 4.

V, the user can newly input a button indicating the keyword, as shown in the step in FIG. 4; or increase or decrease the number of valid buttons in the key sequence on the basis of the input, as shown in step 1010 in FIG. 4, according to the key sequence A matching keyword sequence can be found, a combination of all possibilities available from the input method library. The corresponding associative word sequence is obtained from the focus context. At this time, the keyword information corresponding to the associative words is obtained through the thesaurus, and the overlapping part of the keyword sequence is preferentially provided to the user, thereby completing the reordering of the keyword sequence and displaying The key sequence is for the user to select, see step 10101516 and step 101010101510 in FIG. Here is the application scenario 1 of the focus context information of the present invention, which refers to the user keyword sequence input and confirmation process mentioned above. Referring to the process of "using the scene one" in FIG. 4, the keyword sequence information obtained by the key is combined with the keyword sequence information obtained by the associative word, thereby optimizing the keyword expected by the user, and completing User keyword sequence input and confirmation process.

After the user selects or selects a keyword by default, the selected candidate word sequence can be searched according to the selected keyword. The sequence is obtained from the thesaurus, and the pinyin input method is sorted by the word frequency in the thesaurus. In the handwriting input method, they are sorted by similarity. The candidate word sequence obtained by the keyword is reordered according to the association words of the context, and a new candidate word sequence is obtained for the user to select. This process is shown in step 10101010 in Figure 4. Here is the application scenario 2 of the focus context information of the present invention, and the scenario 2 refers to the candidate word input process mentioned above. See the process "Using Scene 2" in FIG. 4, which combines the matching candidate word information and the associative word information found by the selected keyword, and if it is the candidate word obtained by the contextual associative keyword, then It is preferentially provided to the user, so that the candidate words expected by the user are preferably selected, and the input process of the user candidate words is completed.

At this time, waiting for the user's new input, there are four possibilities: A, B, C, and D.

A user increases or decreases the number of keys of the keyword (ie, the number of characters), increases the user's new input valid keyword button, minus indicates that the user deletes the valid keyword button, and the input method module responds to the user's increase or decrease of the number of characters, because the number of keys changes, and The number is not 0, so the new keyword entry and confirmation process is entered. See step 10 @10 @1510. If the number of keywords changes to 0, the display of the new edit state is entered. See step 101010 2346 or step @) @ @ 2356.

If the user who thinks that the currently selected keyword is not satisfied with the input willingness, that is, if the current keyword does not meet the requirement, the user will switch to the desired keyword. The input method module responds to the user selecting other keywords and enters a new candidate search process, see step 1010 @) @1819.

The C user views the candidate word sequence obtained by the current keyword and selects the candidate word that is needed. At this time, the input method module responds to the user's operation, and adds the newly input words at the focus, and re-arranges the text and displays the new focus, and enters a new round of editing state display process, see step 101010234 6 or steps. 20 ® ® 2356.

D User finishes editing, exits editing state, see step 10 ®.

The above has completed the specific application of the patented invention, mainly embodied in the use of scene one, the use of scene two, the use of scene three. The current input method in the market is shown in Fig. 3. It can be seen that the current input method in the market uses the input words as the association basis in the input process of the scene three associative words, and the present invention uses the focus context as the basis, see two figures. The difference in step 35. The current input method of the market does not have the design of the focus information used by the present invention, and is not applied to the scene-key input and confirmation process at all, nor to the input process of the candidate words of the scene 2, which is mainly reflected in FIG. Step 10 and in. While the present invention has been described in its preferred embodiments, the present invention is not intended to be limited thereto, and the present invention may be modified and improved without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of protection is defined by the terms of the claims.
