Method, apparatus and system for inputting Chinese characters by using remote controller

An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method, an apparatus and a system for inputting Chinese characters by using a remote controller and relates to a Chinese character input technique for reducing a coincident code rate of Chinese characters on the based of simplification of a user operation so as to improve the accuracy rate of Chinese character input. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the method comprises: in a Chinese character input mode, receiving an input instruction sent by a user by using a matched remote controller and parsing structure and sound-form information of a representational to-be-input Chinese character carried by the instruction; searching and displaying a candidate character matching the parsed Chinese character in structure and sound-form information in a pre-established Chinese character library indexed by the structure and sound-form information of Chinese characters; and receiving a selection instruction for the candidate character sent by the user and outputting the candidate character indicated by the selection instruction as a to-be-input Chinese character. Therefore, the problem is solved.
