Using PinYin to Input Chinese Characters on

Polycom® VVX

® Business Media Phones

Feature Profile 76554

PinYin is a commonly used text input method for Chinese characters. It is also used to spell Chinese

names in foreign publications. The PinYin text input feature on Polycom® VVX

® business media phones

uses Nuance XT9® Smart Input to allow users to enter Chinese characters into text input fields using the

phone’s dial pad keys or through the onscreen keyboard.

The PinYin text input feature is available on the following Polycom phones:

VVX 1500 running Polycom® UC Software 4.0.2B or later

VVX 300/310, VVX 400/410, VVX 500, and VVX 600 running UC Software 5.0.0 or later

Users enter PinYin text using the PinYin text input widget or the onscreen keyboard. You must download

a license key onto the user’s phone before they can use this feature.

Web Info: Downloading License Keys

To learn about license keys, see Technical Bulletin 32265: Activating Feature Licensing on Polycom SoundPoint IP, SoundStation IP, and VVX Phones.

Note: Entering PinYin Text on VVX 300/310 and VVX 400/410 Phones

Since the VVX 300/310 and VVX 400/410 phones do not have a touch screen, the user can only enter PinYin text on these phones using the PinYin text input widget.

After you have downloaded the license key to the user’s phone, they select either Simplified or Traditional

Chinese as the displayed language to set PinYin as the default text input mode.

The PinYin text input feature can be used to enter the following:

First names, last names, and labels in the local contact directory

Quick search names, first names, and last names in the corporate directory

Any text in the browser

Web Info: Available Documentation

A PinYin Text Input Quick User Guide is available to assist your users. It is attached to this document. For information on features available in Polycom’s UC software, see the latest Polycom UC Software Administrators’ Guide on the Polycom Support Web site.

本指南介绍如何在 VVX 电话上用拼音输入法输入中

文。当电话界面语言设置为中文时，拼音自动成为默

认的输入方法。

您可以使用以下两种方式输入中文：

通过拨号键盘输入拼音并选择汉字

通过轻触 图标，使用触摸式软键盘输入拼音并

选择汉字

您可以使用拼音输入法：

在通讯录中输入联系人中文姓名，以及联系人标签

在通讯录和公司目录中输入姓名查找联系人

在网络浏览器中输入中文

提示: 检查您的软件许可证

您的电话必须安装正确的软件版本，并安装

有效的软件许可证以支持拼音输入法。如需检查

软件许可证，请按下菜单软键，轻触“状态”，

然后选择“许可证”项。如已安装许可证，您将

看到“Nuance XT9：活动”字样。如果您的电话

没有安装许可证，请联系您的系统管理员。

使用拨号键盘输入中文

如下图所示，您可在通讯录，公司目录，以及网络浏

览器中使用数字拨号键盘（1-9，星号和井号键）和箭

头键输入拼音并选择中文。在输入拼音的过程中，您

还可以使用删除键 修改您的输入。

图 1: 拼音输入控件

在此模式下输入中文的步骤如下：

通过数字拨号键盘输入拼音对应的英文字母，比如

按下 7，4，6，4 键。

所有可能的拼音组合将会被显示在红色背景的输入

提示区域，首选组合将会被以灰色背景标记。

按下星号键 可切换拼音组合。

按下删除键 可删除已输入的拼音。当所有拼音

都被删除后，按下删除键 可删除已输入的汉字。

输入提示区域显示有可能的用户输入组合。比如，

在图 1 中当选择 Qing 时，蓝色背景的候选汉字区

域显示“庆情请清青轻晴倾卿”，黑色箭头导航提

示图标提醒用户可使用箭头键左右移动光标以选择

中文。

在蓝色的候选汉字区域中，您也可以直接在触摸屏

上用手势左右滑动并选择候选汉字。

按下选择键 可从候选汉字区域中选择汉字。一

旦选择，候选汉字将被输入到汉字输入框的光标位

置。候选汉字区域接下来显示联想汉字。您也可以

直接在触摸屏上点击并选择汉字。

按下井号键 可将拼音输入控件隐藏。当拼音输

做任何操作，拼音输入控件也将会自动隐藏。

使用触摸式软键盘

如下图所示，您可在通讯录，公司目录，以及网络浏

览器中使用触摸式软键盘输入拼音并选择中文。

由于 VVX 300/310 以及 VVX 400/410 电话不支持触摸

屏，因此您无法在上述设备上使用触摸式软键盘。

图 2:在通讯录中使用触摸式软键盘输入中文

在此模式下输入中文的步骤如下：

轻触触摸式软键盘图标 。

通过按下输入法选择软键 ，可确认拼音输入法

（XT9 PinYin）是当前默认输入法。

使用软键盘输入拼音，例如：Qing 。您可以使用删

除软键（ 或者 ）修改您的拼音输入。当所

有拼音都被删除时，按下删除键将会删除已输入的

汉字。

绿色的候选汉字区域将会根据用户输入显示所有可

能的汉字。如图 2 所示，当输入 Qing 时,，候选汉

字区域显示“情请清青轻晴庆倾卿擎氰傾慶磬箐”。

候选汉字区域亦会显示黑色的箭头导航图标提示您

可以用触摸手势左右滑动候选汉字。您也可以使用

左右箭头键移动光标选择汉字。

轻触触摸式软键盘上的 图标可确认当前输入，

关闭触摸式软键盘并返回之前的用户界面（例如通

讯录，公司目录或网络浏览器）。

重复以上操作直到您完成所有需要的输入为止。
