Abstract:
A compatible chord code for inputting elements of Chinese characters (ECC) to computer was proposed. It capitalized on the graphic compatibility between ECC and chord combination of keys (CCK) on a single-handed chord keyboard with five keys. Experimental results showed that the proposed compatible chord code was better than a code that randomly mapped ECC onto CCK with respect to learning time and response time. Explicit indication of the graphic compatibility between ECC and CCK did not enhance memorizing the compatible code.
