Abstract:
As the structure of Chinese characters are very different,
it is very difficult to input Chinese characters into computer quickly and
conveniently. The conventional keyboard does not support the pictorial
characters in Chinese language. There are 3000 to 6000 commonly used pictorial
Chinese characters (Hanzi).
There are a few existing systems which include
"PinYin" (phonetic) system, a combination of the PinYin system and
character form techniques, whole character encoding, stroke input encoding, and
stoke form encoding. Each of the methods have their own advantages and
disadvantages. This article describes two inventions on inputting Chinese
language through a standard keyboard.
