漢字檢字法探討

俞祖禎

民國初年, 鑒於中文查字困難, 陳立夫先生發明五筆檢字法,
以首四筆,末一筆的簡單方法從字典中找字. 可惜早了幾十年,
敵不過根深蒂固的 "字根部位法".
結果像我這樣的笨人都只好使用 "數筆畫表", 或 "難字表" 來找字.
除了 "木", "三點水", "火", .... 幾個簡單的部首,
好多字根本不知道從那裡查起!

你知道 "愛" 要查 "心" 部嗎?

1991 年, 北京商務出版張椿兄的 "新華字典 - 筆順部首檢字表",
張先生於 1980 年代提出:

橫 ( - ),
直 ( | ),
撇 (飄) ( / ),
點 ( . ),
曲 (乙)

五種基本筆畫.

檢字法總算向前跨了一步. 他捨棄 "部首" 不管,
專注意餘下的 "半字", 用他的 五種筆畫 分類去找字.
這樣查字典找字, 是簡單快速了許多.

最有效率的辦法是 "分類, 按序縮小範圍去找",
西方文字就是使用這種方法.

連幼稚園的小朋友都會查字典.

~~~

筆者最近發明的

認圖 (見字) 設碼中文電腦輸入法
GeoStroke

使用的就是這種 直接了當 的方法.

先確定漢字的 "外框(輪廓)", 再及 "內涵(內容)".
各由周邊四個筆畫,
用 4 個 幾何形狀與筆畫者相似之對應 數字 GeoStroke 碼,
先後依 Z 順序表出.
逐 "碼" 按序縮小範圍直至突顯出所想要找出的 "漢字" 為止.

採用同樣方法來搜求 "網址" 也極為有效.

而且, 是十個數目字, 從 0 找到 9
比 26 個字母從 a 找到 z 要快速得多.

Abstract:

A system includes a keyboard for encoding Chinese characters and phrases. The invention relates to the quick input of Chinese characters and phrases into any large, medium, small and mini-sized computers as well as systems for Chinese information processing and communications. Some basic roots are selected according to their frequency distributions both in the constitution of characters and in practical usage, and classified in accordance with their inner links and compatible relations. These selected roots are then arranged on the twenty five keys of a standard keyboard in accordance with the probabilities of use of keys and the fingering of the keyboard in order to form a complete encoding system and a keyboard for Chinese. In the system, Chinese characters and phrases can be encoded according to their geometrical forms. Therefore the method is direct and easy to learn and convenient for touch typing, and the efficiency of input Chinese characters and phrases can be raised greatly.

Abstract:

An improved method for inputting Chinese characters into computers and the keyboard arrangement therefor wherein the Chinese characters, of which the numbers are enormous and the structures are complicated, are reduced to obtain only a few rules for inputting Chinese characters and the 244 radicals are allocated on a standard keyboard. The present inputting method is based on "stroke orders". The manner in which the characters are input conforms with general writing habits such that the method is easy and convenient for an operator to learn fast.

First Claim:

Show all 2 claims

I claim: 1. An improved method of inputting Chinese characters and phrases, each of the phrases including more than two characters, each of the character including at least one radical, and each of the radical including at least one stroke, wherein 244 basic radicals for forming the characters are associated with 41 keys of a computer keyboard, comprising the following steps:

(A)

Tracking stroke orders of the Chinese character, indexing the character by keying in the corresponding radicals, each of the radicals being keyed in with a code keying in one time, and completing the entry of the character with four codes at most, including a first, a second, a third and a last code, in which the steps for inputting the radicals comprising:

(1) selecting a radical covering as many strokes as possible without taking consideration of stroke orders;
(2) using at most four codes for a character while omitting the code between the third code and the last code;
(3) entering first the radical in the middle portion of a character in case the middle portion is flanked symmetrically by a left side portion and a right side portion, with the exception that the side portions are " ", " ", " " or " ";
(4) entering first a radical enclosing the remaining strokes of a character on four sides or three sides or upper left and right sides;
(5) entering a radical enclosing the remaining stroke of a character on lower left and right sides after inputting the remaining stroke, for example, " " and " ";
(6) entering directly the radicals of " " and " " if their strokes are completed before crossing by the other stroke, for example, " " and " "; otherwise, the radical of " " is keyed in alternatively, for example, " " and " ";
(7) entering the radical of " " by " " instead of " " in case the radical is crossed with other stroke, for example, " " being keyed in by " " instead of " "; and
(8) entering directly the radical of " " is without taking consideration of the stroke contained therein; and

(B)

entering the phrases of two characters by inputting at most four codes, including the first and the last code of each character; and keying in the phrases of more than two characters by inputting at most four codes, including the first code of each of the former three characters and the last code of the last character.

Abstract:

This invention is for encoding of Chinese & Japanese ideographic characters which are digitized into a numeric format compatible for computer access and retrieval. Each Chinese & Japanese character is indexed by a numerical code. Each character is individually identified by an eight(8)-digit Geo-Stroke code, comprised of a four (4)-digit "FRAME" code and a four (4)-digit "ID" code. The coding method conforms to general writing habits, resulting in an input method both easy and convenient for an operator to learn and utilize. Each of the (10) Geostrokes used to input Chinese & Japanese character is assigned to a numeric digit (0-9). Each of the Geostrokes resembles one of the numeric digits available on the 10-key pad. By using this method both Chinese and Japanese ideographic character can be easily input and retrieved by using a 10-key design. By using this invention, both Chinese and Japanese computer users can now use one entry system to manipulate both languages and be completely compatible and interchangeable.

First Claim:

Show all 5 claims

I claim:

1. A method of encoding Chinese and Japanese ideographic characters for computer entry, retrieval and processing, comprising the steps of:
a) categorizing the geometrical strokes utilized to form ideographic characters into ten stroke family types and assigning a distinct Arabic numeral, ranging between 0-9, to each of said ten stroke types, wherein each stroke is categorized to closely resemble it's assigned numeral;
b) reading the stroke formations at four strategic locations, the two upper corners and the two lower-side edges, on the periphery of a character in a "Z" sequence to obtain a four-digit FRAME code for the character;
c) identifying the block formation pattern of the character and selecting a particular block or sub-block thereof as an ID block, in accordance with a set of rules; and
d) reading the stroke formations at four strategic locations, the two upper corners and the two lower-side edges, of the selected ID block of the character in a "Z" sequence to obtain a four-digit ID code therefore; wherein each ideographic character is uniquely identified by an eight-digit Geo-Stroke code comprising a corresponding four-digit FRAME code and a corresponding four-digit ID code.
