Background
Written Chinese has thousands of characters, and inputting Chinese characters through keyboards or touch-screen devices remains difficult for many people. Techniques are desired that allow for easier and more efficient input of the many thousands of Chinese characters.

Key Characteristics & Benefits
This patent portfolio proposes a technique to facilitate the input of Chinese characters through a user interface.

  • A method is disclosed that uses character pronunciation to facilitate the input of non-phonetic characters.
  • One disclosed technique enables the user to enter an alternative character that rhymes with the desired character.
  • An index of characters that rhyme with the alternative is then displayed for selection.
  • Other techniques disclosed enable users to easily and more quickly input Chinese characters using keys arranged in a matrix, such as a mobile phone keypad or touch screen.
  • The sequence of strokes entered in the matrix by the user in an indicated location quickly results in the display of a specific Chinese character, making it easier to input the Chinese language.

Market Potential
This is a key strategic portfolio for companies providing computer software or applications for multi-lingual text inputs.

Companies who have cited this patent portfolio include:
Research in Motion, Nokia Corp.
