Abstract
Abstract A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings comprising. keyboard, literal unit library determination processing means , including a key unit termination determination module and a synonym selection module , and key unit means ; said determination processing means further comprise a mode determination module, which further comprise a input mode nonautomatic determination submodule and a input mode automatic determination submodule. Through the apparatus of the present invention, correspondence between a set of keys on the keyboard composed in accordance with certain order, i.e. a key unit , and a specific literal unit in the literal unit library is provided, thus , where a literal unit need to be input, only the corresponding key unit need to be keyed in. Since the key unit omits some specific letters , e.g. vowels of the corresponding literal unit , so it is much easier to key in the key unit than key in the literal unit per se, whereby, the input load is significantly lightened while the input speed greatly improved.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings, comprising: keyboard , for inputting literal information or instructions; literal unit library , for storing literal units of words , terms, phrase, paragraphs of texts and the like ; a set of keys composed in accordance with certain order on said keyboard , i. e., a key unit, corresponds to a specific literal unit in the literal unit library ; determination processing means, including a key unit termination determination module for determining whether the signal of a key unit is terminated, and a synonym selection module, for determining and selecting a unique literal unit where a key unit corresponds to more the one literal units in the literal unit library ; and key unit means, for receiving the signal of each key unit from the keyboard, and retrieving the corresponding literal unit from the literal unit library according to the input key unit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 1, wherein said key unit including a key indicating the termination of said key unit and being used by said key unit termination determination module to determine whether a key unit is terminated; at least a specific alphabetic key does not appear on at least one specific key position of said key unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
105 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 2, wherein, where a literal unit in said literal unit library is a word, the corresponding key unit of which has defaulted the keys corresponding to the vowels and semivowels in the literal unit , as compared with the literal unit; Where a literal unit in said literal unit library is a term or phrase or paragraph of a text, the key unit corresponding to the literal unit is composed of the corresponding keys on the keyboard of one or more consonants of one or more constituent words of the literal unit .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
92 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 3, wherein, the key unit corresponding to a literal unit in said literal unit library is composed of the corresponding keys on the keyboard of a portion of consonants of each consonant portion separated by each vowel or consecutive vowels in the literal unit ; and the key unit corresponding to a literal unit in said literal unit library is composed of the corresponding keys on the keyboard of the first consonant of each syllable in the literal unit .
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
104 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claims 3 and 4, wherein, if an ordered combination of the keys on the keyboard including a terminating indicator key corresponds to more than one literal unit in said literal unit library , then the key unit uniquely corresponding to one of these literal units is the above mentioned ordered combination of keys plus a portion or all of the characters default in the ordered combination of keys as compared with the literal unit , or numeric keys , or upper case alphabetic keys , or punctuation keys , or the space bar.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 2, wherein, the vowel keys and/or the space bar and/or the punctuation keys and/or upper case alphabetic keys and/or the numeric keys and/or the specific consonant keys on said keyboard are defined as function keys, e.g. affix keys, mode converting switch keys, terminator keys for key units, synonym selection keys, high frequency word keys. etc., in high efficiency input mode.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
90 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 2, wherein, the key units composed, according to certain order, of an alphabetic key and a vowel key or numeric key or punctuation key or upper case alphabetic key or the space bar on said keyboard , and the key units composed, according to certain order, of any two of the above mentioned five kinds of keys are used as simplified codes of some of the literal units in said literal unit library, corresponding to those literal units.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
82 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 2, wherein, said determination processing means further comprises a mode determination module, for determining whether the information input with normal mode or information corresponding to said key unit input with high efficiency mode, and this module includes at least one input mode nonautomatic determination submodule, for determining whether the input information is information input with normal mode or high efficiency mode according to a switch signal before the information input.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
64 words
A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings according to claim 8, wherein said mode determination module further includes an input mode automatic determination submodule, for automatically determining whether the input information is information corresponding to the key unit input with normal mode or high efficiency mode according to whether the input information is a specific combination of character or contains special information.
