System and method for accelerating Chinese text input

A system for accelerating text entry of a logographic based language, comprising:

• an input device for typing at least some initial Pinyin characters representing a logographic based text;
• an eye-tracking apparatus that monitors a user's eye natural looking position;
• a display for visually displaying logographic characters of the logographic based language based on the typed initial characters;
• an input tracking bar that displays inputted characters;
• a panel that displays the logographic characters based on the typed initial characters, and that allows a pre-selection of the one or more candidate logographic characters by visibly emphasizing the candidate logographic characters and by tracking the user's eye natural looking position without requiring deliberate staring at the preselected one or more candidate characters, in order to select a target character;
• a user input device that generates a single confirmation input command for enabling the selection of the target character by multiplexing the user's eye natural looking position and the single confirmation input command;
• and
• a character output area that displays the selected target character.

A computer program product having a plurality of executable instruction codes for inputting text entry of a logographic based language, comprising:

• an input device for typing at least some initial Pinyin characters representing a logographic based text;
• a first set of instruction codes for displaying logographic characters for a target character among the candidate characters, based on the typed initial characters;
• a second set of instruction codes for tracking a user's eye natural looking position;
• a third set of instruction codes for pre-selecting logographic characters, by visibly emphasizing the candidate logographic characters based on the user's eye natural looking position, without requiring deliberate staring at the pre-selected one or more candidate characters, in order to select the target character;
• and
• a fourth set of instruction codes for selecting the target character from among the one or more pre-selected candidate characters by multiplexing the user's eye natural looking position and a single confirmation input command.
