High efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings
First Claim
1. A high efficiency input processing apparatus for alphabetic writings, comprising:
- a literal unit library for storing literal units containing characters and combinations of characters, a literal unit in said literal unit library corresponding to a key unit which is composed of a set of keys in accordance with a certain order on a keyboard, and which defaults the keys corresponding to a portion of characters of said literal unit;
determination processing means including a key unit termination determination module for determining whether a signal from a key unit is terminated, and a synonym selection module for determining and selecting a unique literal unit where said key unit corresponds to more than one of said literal units in said literal unit library; and
key unit means for receiving a signal of each said key unit from said keyboard and retrieving the corresponding literal unit from said literal unit library according to the key unit entered.

Abstract
Literal units which correspond to a code of characters of a key unit input on a keyboard are stored in a literal unit library which is accessed by a key unit library when it is determined that the entire key unit has been input. A synonym selection module is provided to retrieve a unique literal unit when more than one literal unit corresponds to the key unit entered. The encoding process provides for faster and more efficient input of information on a keyboard since it is only necessary to input a code of characters referred to as the key unit, such as the consonants of the particular text, to retrieve the desired text from the literal unit library where the literal unit includes characters which default in the key unit.

- 18. A correspondence method between literal units and key units, characterized in that as compared with the literal unit, a portion of characters of the literal unit default in the key unit corresponding to said literal unit.
- 33. A method of determining a high efficiency input method in which some specific characters in words are defaulted during input, characterized in that a determination of whether information is input with the high efficiency input method depends upon whether a combination of the first several characters input belong to a specific combination of characters which are known not to appear together to form a word.
