According to the difficulty level and content of the learning software, a learning weight is respectively determined, so that a learning evaluating module is set up. Next, a related database is set up according to the source weight, the learning evaluating weight, and a transformation function, so that the source weight and the learning evaluating weight can be exchanged to each other.

Abstract: A Chinese spelling input system and method with the multimedia Chinese spelling learning function is disclosed. Through expandable multimedia learning materials, one can quickly learn the tricks and skills in Chinese spelling input without the limitation of the software platform. The invention further provides a learning process recording function for the user to review learning. The disclosed method includes at least the following steps: starting an input method interface through hot keys, running a learning materials generating module by clicking, the learning materials generating module generating learning materials, and a learning process recording module storing learning data. The disclosed system includes at least an interface function starting module, a learning materials generating module, an output presentation control module, and a learning process recording module.

Abstract: A Chinese input system and method that utilizes phonetic identification technology for assisting a user in processing selections from candidate sentences and associated categories. Through the phonetic input method, the invention enables a user to select a candidate sentence that s/he wants to input, reducing the input error rate and increasing his/her input speed.

Abstract: An input system and method with a categorized database that classifies and stores sentences according to different classifications and attributes, enabling a user to accurately locate sentences and improve input speed. The invention further provides a simplified integral administrative operation interface for a user to process inserting, deleting, and instantly updating sentences at any time.

Abstract: A multimedia foreign language sentence making training system and method without hints in the parent language employs multimedia contents for training sentence making and enabling users to understand the contents quickly, thereby enhancing users' sentence making ability and self expression in a foreign language.
