DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In the following description of embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which it is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments of the disclosure that can be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments can be used and structural changes can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosed embodiments.
In an embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, an input method includes the following steps.
Step SI 02: obtaining data information sent by an auxiliary terminal.
The auxiliary terminal is a terminal which assists a user to input on an execution terminal. When it is inconvenient to input on the execution terminal, the user can input data information by an auxiliary terminal which has better inputting environment. For example, a PC may be used as an auxiliary terminal to input data information via its physical keyboard.
In an embodiment, the method may further include, before the step of obtaining, the step of obtaining the inputted login information and logging in a server.
In the embodiment, the step of obtaining data information sent by an auxiliary terminal may include receiving data information in accordance with the login information forwarded by the server, and uploading, by the auxiliary terminal corresponding to the login information, the data information to the server.
In the embodiment, the user needs to log into the server in advance by inputting an account password on the execution terminal or using a cookie. Meanwhile, the user also needs to log into the server in advance by inputting an account password on the auxiliary terminal or using a cookie.
In the embodiment, the method further include, before the step of receiving data information corresponding to the login information forwarded by the server, the step of initiating an auxiliary input request to the server. The server may obtain a network address of the corresponding auxiliary terminal according to the login information (user ID and login IP, etc.), and forward the auxiliary input request to the auxiliary terminal. An input window can be displayed on the screen of the auxiliary terminal. Data information inputted into the input window can be obtained and uploaded to the server, and then forwarded by the server to the execution terminal.
In another embodiment, upon logging in both by the execution terminal and the auxiliary terminal, data information may be inputted directly by the auxiliary terminal and sent to the server, and then forwarded by the server to the execution terminal. In other words, it is not required to initiate the auxiliary input request by the execution terminal; instead, data information may be inputted directly upon logging in by the auxiliary terminal, and forwarded by the server to the execution terminal. The execution terminal receives the data information.
Step S104: obtaining a focus object and/or a cursor position displayed on a screen of an execution terminal.
Step SI 06: adding the data information to an input area of the screen of the execution terminal corresponding to the focus object and/or the cursor position on the screen.
A focus object is a view object in an active state. View objects may include text input box, rich text input box, etc. A cursor position is the position where to input, which may be obtained by calling the API function of the operating system. According to the cursor position, an input area and input position in the input area are positioned. The received data information is inserted into the input position. It is also possible to obtain a focus object by calling the API function of the operating system, and adding the received data information into the input area corresponding to the focus object.
In an embodiment, the data information may include at least one selected from the group consisting of: video data, image data, text data, audio data and application data.
For example, the user may use a personal PC as an auxiliary terminal to obtain an image by screen capture, and paste the image into a pop-up input window of the auxiliary terminal. As shown in Fig. 2, the user may also input text data by using a keyboard to input Pinyin, Wubi or other text codes, and selecting the words, or by stylus and tablet, or inputting audio data via a microphone, inputting video data via a camera, inputting application data by copying and pasting.
In the embodiment, the data information is of corresponding MIME-type, i.e., Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions. Data information obtained is added into the input area corresponding to the focus object and/or cursor position and display according to its MIME-type.
For example, when the data information obtained is video data, its MIME-type is video (video/ A, A is the video format, including mpeg, quicktime, etc.), which can be previewed by calling appropriate interface function for video play. When the data information obtained is audio data, its MIME-type is audio (video/B, B is the audio format, including mid, x-aiff, etc.), which can be previewed by calling appropriate interface function for audio play. When the data information obtained is application data, its MIME-type is application, which can be operated by calling appropriate application interface. For example, if the data information obtained is a pdf file, then its MIME-type is application/pdf, which can be previewed by calling appropriate interface function of pdf application.
In another embodiment, the step of obtaining data information sent by the auxiliary terminal further includes: obtaining terminal pairing information; obtaining connection with the auxiliary terminal according to the terminal pairing information; receiving data information according to the connection with the auxiliary terminal.
After pairing with the auxiliary terminal, a long connection may be maintained, or only the network location or device identification of the auxiliary terminal are obtained and recorded in the terminal pairing information. Then, before receiving data sent by the auxiliary terminal, a connection with the auxiliary terminal may be established according to the network location or device identification recorded in the terminal pairing information.
In the embodiment, the method may further include, before the step of obtaining data information sent by the auxiliary terminal, the step of pairing with the auxiliary terminal, and creating terminal pairing information corresponding to the auxiliary terminal.
For example, when using a laptop having Bluetooth or wifi device as an auxiliary terminal, the execution terminal may be paired with the laptop in advance. Upon paring, a connection between the execution terminal and the laptop may be established, and terminal paring information corresponding to the connection may be created.
In the embodiment, the method may further include, before the step of receiving data information according to the connection information, the step of initiating an auxiliary input request to the corresponding auxiliary terminal according to the connection information. Upon receiving the auxiliary input request, the auxiliary terminal may display an input window on the screen, obtain data information inputted into the input window and return the data information to the execution terminal.
In another embodiment, after the terminal paring information is created, data information may be inputted directly by the auxiliary terminal and sent to the execution terminal.
In a practical application, the execution terminal is a cell phone having poor quality microphone, and the auxiliary terminal is a Bluetooth microphone having preferable audio parameters. The cell phone and the Bluetooth microphone can be paired by the user in advance. Then, audio is inputted by the Bluetooth microphone, and audio data obtained is sent to the cell phone by the Bluetooth microphone via radio channel. The cell phone may then input the received audio data into the input area corresponding to the cursor position or focus object. For example, the audio data may be inputted into the current chat window of the user; if the user clicks the sending icon, then the audio data will be sent to the friend chatting with the user. A link corresponding to the audio data will be displayed in the chat window of the friend, and the friend can click on the link to play the audio data.
In a practical application, the execution terminal is a cell phone having a low-pixel camera, and the auxiliary terminal is a Bluetooth camera having higher pixels. The cell phone and the Bluetooth camera can be paired by the user in advance. Then, video is shot by the Bluetooth camera, and video data captured is sent to the cell phone by the Bluetooth camera via radio channel. The cell phone can then input the received video data into the input area corresponding to the cursor position or focus object. For example, the video data may be inputted into the current chat window of the user; if the user clicks the sending icon, then the video data will be sent to the friend chatting with the user. The video data will be displayed in the chat window of the friend in the form of a link or an icon, and the friend can click on the link or icon to play the video data.
In a practical application, the execution terminal is a cell phone, and the auxiliary terminal is a wireless keyboard. The cell phone and the wireless keyboard can be paired by the user in advance. For example, the cell phone and the wireless keyboard can be paired using protocols such Bluetooth of 2.4G band, ZigBee and Wi-Fi. Then, a string is inputted by the wireless keyboard, and sent to the cell phone by the wireless keyboard via radio channel. The cell phone can then input the received string into the input area corresponding to the cursor position or focus object. For example, the focus object may be a character encoding input bar of the word- selecting window. Then, the received string can be inputted into the character encoding input bar, and corresponding candidate words may be displayed in the word- selecting window for the user to input corresponding text information by selecting appropriate words. An external wireless keyboard is more convenient for inputting, compared to the way of inputting via the soft keyboard on phone screen, thereby increasing the input speed.
In a practical application, the execution terminal is a cell phone with relatively low calculation capability, and the auxiliary terminal is a personal computer, which allows running of image processing application that consumes much CPU resources. When the user wants to input a processed picture into the cell phone, he/she can log in with the same user ID on the server in advance respectively by the cell phone and the personal computer, perform image processing or image editing to the picture in the personal computer, and then upload the processed picture to the server. After receiving the picture, the server is configured to search for corresponding cell phone according to the inputted user ID that the user input when logging in, and send the processed picture to the cell phone. This enables the user to take advantage of the better CPU performance and peripherals of the personal computer to process a picture, improving the input speed.
In an embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, an input device includes a data receiving module 102, a positioning module 104 and an adding module 106, in which:
The data receiving module 102 is configured to obtain data information sent by an auxiliary terminal.
