The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is understood that the preferred embodiments described below are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit this invention. .

Example 1

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling the display of a keyboard for an electronic device having a touch display screen. As shown in FIG. 1 , the processing flow of the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 101: Detect a user input range on the touch display screen.

The method of the embodiment is to facilitate the user to touch any button on the keyboard displayed on the large screen and apply the keyboard for input. Therefore, the method of the embodiment needs to first determine the input range of the user on the touch display screen; the input range is The range that the user can touch on the touch display.

When the user needs to input data by using the keyboard, the user can draw a range on the touch display screen by using a finger, a touch pen, etc., and the terminal obtains the input range of the user on the touch display screen by detecting the range defined by the user.

Of course, the user can also obtain the input range of the user on the touch display screen according to the manner of the user's holding and the touch trajectory of the user in the holding mode. For example, the user holds the terminal in the right hand and draws an arc on the touch display screen by the right hand finger, and the range between the arc and the boundary on the right side of the terminal is the user's touch. The input range on the display.

Step 102: Display a keyboard within the input range.

After obtaining the input range of the user on the touch display screen, the terminal can display the keyboard within the input range. The terminal may determine, according to the input range and the frame structure of the keyboard, a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range, according to the keyboard display manner, the input The keyboard is displayed in the range.

The method in this embodiment may be that each time the keyboard input data is applied, the user independently delimits the input range of the user, and the terminal performs steps 101 and 102, detects the input range first, and then displays the keyboard within the input range.

The method of this embodiment may also be: after detecting step 101 of detecting an input range of the user on the touch display screen, acquiring an input mode corresponding to the input range according to the input range; and displaying a keyboard when the input range is displayed.

In this way, the user does not need to define the input range of the user each time, and only needs to determine the input mode of the user, and the keyboard can be displayed according to the keyboard display mode corresponding to the recorded input mode.

In the method of the embodiment, by detecting the input range of the user on the touch display screen, and then displaying the keyboard within the input range, the keyboard can be displayed at a position that the user can touch, so that the user can touch the keyboard displayed on the large screen. Any of the keys and apply the keyboard for input.

Example 2

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling the display of a keyboard for an electronic device having a touch display screen. As shown in FIG. 2, the processing flow of the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 201: Detect a user input range on the touch display screen.

Step 202: Determine, according to the input range and the frame structure of the keyboard, a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range, and display the keyboard within the input range according to the keyboard display manner.

After obtaining the input range of the user on the touch display screen, the terminal can display the keyboard within the input range. The terminal may determine, according to the input range and the frame structure of the keyboard, a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range, and display the keyboard within the input range according to the keyboard display manner.

At present, the common frame structure of the keyboard mainly includes: a pinyin 9-key input method frame structure, a pinyin 26-key input method frame structure, a stroke keyboard input method frame structure, and a handwriting keyboard input method frame structure.

The terminal can determine the keyboard display mode corresponding to the input range by the terminal according to a certain algorithm according to the input range obtained in step 201 and the frame structure of the various keyboards described above. The keyboard display mode only needs to ensure that the keyboard is displayed within the input range.

Of course, in order to improve the user experience, the terminal may also obtain the plurality of keyboard display modes according to the input range acquired in step 201 and the frame structure of the various keyboards described above according to different algorithms, and the frame structure of each keyboard. There may be a plurality of keyboard display modes; the plurality of keyboard display modes may enable the keyboard to display the keyboard within the input range when the frame structure of the keyboard is applied. After the calculation is completed, the terminal may preview display the plurality of keyboard display manners, and prompt the user to input an instruction, where the instruction is used to indicate that the keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range is determined from the plurality of keyboard display manners, and the user The keyboard display mode corresponding to the input range can be selected according to personal habits, and the terminal will follow the instruction input by the user. The keyboard display mode corresponding to the input range is determined.

In the above method, for each frame structure of the keyboard, a plurality of keyboard display modes when the frame structure of the keyboard is applied are calculated, and multiple calculations are required, occupying resources of the terminal and wasting time. Therefore, the terminal may prompt the user to select a frame structure of the keyboard according to personal habits, and the user inputs a first instruction to determine a frame structure of the keyboard that the user is accustomed from the frame structure of the plurality of keyboards, so that the terminal may firstly be based on the user. The input first instruction determines a frame structure of the keyboard selected by the user, and then obtains a plurality of keyboard display manners when the frame structure of the keyboard selected by the user is applied according to the input range and the frame structure of the keyboard selected by the user. The terminal may preview display the plurality of keyboard display modes, and prompt the user to input a second instruction, where the second instruction is used to indicate that the keyboard display mode corresponding to the input range is determined from the plurality of keyboard display modes; The user can input the second instruction according to personal habits, and the terminal determines the keyboard display mode corresponding to the input range according to the second instruction input by the user. This reduces the number of calculations and improves efficiency.

The user can select the most suitable keyboard display mode from the various keyboard display modes given by the terminal. If the user is not satisfied, you can choose an existing keyboard display.

For example, the user needs to apply a keyboard for input when watching a video. In order to prevent the keyboard from covering the video screen and affecting the user watching the video, the user can delimit a range outside the video screen of the touch display screen by using a finger, a touch pen, or the like. By detecting the range delineated by the user, the input range of the user on the touch display screen is obtained, and then the keyboard is displayed within the input range, so that the keyboard does not cover the video screen, and the range defined by the user is that the user can Touched.

When the user inputs the keyboard, the terminal outputs the corresponding character in the output display area according to the content input by the user. The terminal sets the output display area outside the display area of the keyboard according to the size of the screen and the size of the keyboard. The output display area may be within the input range or outside the input range, and is not limited herein.

If the output display area can be outside the input range, it is difficult for the user to confirm by clicking on the character. Therefore, the displayed keyboard must have a confirmation direction key for selecting the character in the input display area. Of course, if the output display area is within the input range, the user can confirm by clicking on the characters in the output display area, and there is no need to confirm the direction key.

If the output display area is outside the input range, if the input range is in the lower right side of the touch display screen of the terminal, the default output display area is displayed on the left side of the keyboard; if the input range is within the touch of the terminal On the lower left and lower right sides of the display, the default output display area is displayed in the middle of the keyboard display area on both sides.

The method of the embodiment only determines the display position of the keyboard through the input range of the user, and the use of various keys and keyboards in the keyboard is also in accordance with the existing operation, as long as all input operations of the user can be completed in the keyboard.

After the keyboard is displayed in the input range of the user, the terminal needs to adjust the entire display screen of the terminal, that is, after the keyboard is displayed, the original display page moves up and may be re-typed to ensure the keyboard and the original display page. The information on the page does not overlap, and the original page information is displayed normally.

Example 3

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling a keyboard display for an electronic device having a touch display screen. As shown in FIG. 3, the processing flow of the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 301: Detect a user input range on the touch display screen.

When the user needs to input data with the keyboard, the user can touch display by finger, touch pen, or the like. A range is defined on the screen, and the terminal obtains the input range of the user on the touch display screen by detecting the range defined by the user.

Of course, the user can also obtain the input range of the user on the touch display screen according to the manner of the user's holding and the touch trajectory of the user in the holding mode. For example, the user's holding method is a dual-handheld terminal, and an arc is drawn on the left and right sides of the touch screen by the left and right hand fingers, and the range between the left arc and the left side of the terminal, and The range between the right arc and the boundary on the right side of the terminal is the user's input range on the touch display.

Step 302: Acquire an input mode corresponding to the input range.

The terminal may obtain an input mode corresponding to the input range according to the input range. For example, if the user inputs by a finger, the input range is located at a lower left side of the touch display screen of the terminal, and the corresponding input range may be detected. The input mode is the left-hand input of the left hand-held terminal; the input range is located at the lower right side of the touch display screen of the terminal, and the input mode corresponding to the input range can be detected to be the right-hand input of the right hand-held terminal; the input range is located at the terminal touch On the lower right side and the lower right side of the display screen, it can be detected that the input mode of the user corresponding to the input range is the two-handed terminal with two-hand input; the input range is located in the middle of the terminal touch display screen, and the detection can be obtained. The input mode of the user corresponding to the input range is that the hand of the terminal is not input.

Step 303: Display a keyboard within the input range.

The terminal may determine, according to the input range and the frame structure of the keyboard, a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range, and display the keyboard within the input range according to the keyboard display manner. For details, refer to step 202 in Embodiment 2.

Step 304: Record a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input mode, where the keyboard display mode is a manner of displaying a keyboard within the input range.

In step 303, the terminal displays the keyboard according to a certain keyboard display manner in the input range. At this time, the terminal may input the input mode corresponding to the input range according to step 302, and The keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range is one-to-one corresponding to recording a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input mode in the input range.

In this way, the subsequent user can eliminate the input range every time, and the terminal only needs to obtain the input mode of the user, and the keyboard can be displayed according to the keyboard display mode corresponding to the input mode.

There are two methods for the terminal to obtain the input mode of the user. One is: when the user needs to input data by using the keyboard, the user inputs an instruction, and after receiving the instruction, the terminal can display a selection interface, so that the user can select the input mode, and the user can According to personal habits, the user's input mode is selected by clicking the input mode option on the selection interface. The other is: after receiving the command, the terminal applies the relevant sensing recognition system of the terminal, such as a gravity recognition system or a pressure recognition system, to detect the input mode of the current user in real time.

The terminal acquires the input mode of the user. If the keyboard display mode corresponding to the input mode is not recorded in the terminal, the terminal needs to perform steps 301-304 to obtain the input range and its corresponding input mode; and then according to the input range and a keyboard frame structure, determining a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input range; displaying a keyboard in the input range according to the keyboard display manner; and recording a keyboard display manner corresponding to the input mode. Of course, when the user inputs the keyboard, the keyboard display mode corresponding to the input mode is already stored in the terminal, and after the terminal obtains the input mode of the user, the terminal can directly display the keyboard corresponding to the stored input mode. The way the keyboard is displayed.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the input mode of the user is a dual-hand-held two-hand input mode, and the detected input range of the user is the lower left side and the lower right side of the touch display screen of the terminal, and the frame structure of the keyboard selected by the user is the pinyin 9 key. Enter the frame structure.

The keyboard finally displayed on the terminal screen by applying the method of the embodiment is as shown in FIG. The two arcs in Figure 4 represent the arcs that the user's finger strokes, and the user's input range is between the two arcs and the terminal boundary. The keyboard of the Pinyin 9-key input method frame is displayed in these two arcs, and the output display area can be in the two arcs except the display keyboard, and also in the two Out of the arc. The output display area shown in FIG. 4 is disposed outside the two arcs, because the output display area is outside the two arcs that the user's finger can touch, and it is difficult for the user to click on the characters of the output display area. confirm. Therefore, in the Pinyin 9-key input method frame structure, a confirmation direction key must be used to select the characters in the output display area. Of course, if the output display area is within the two arcs that the user's finger can touch, the user can confirm by clicking on the characters in the output display area, and there is no need to confirm the direction key.

In this embodiment, since the keyboard is not located in a rectangular area below the screen, the terminal needs to adjust the display content on the top of the screen to ensure that the entire screen does not look strange. Of course, the keyboard can also be made into a regular rectangle by means of image overlay, etc., to facilitate display of other information on the screen.

The input display area where the keyboard in this example is located can be determined by the following rules: 1) the input display area should be in the sector formed by the arc and the screen on both sides of the screen; 2) the complete input display area is a regular rectangle and can be The left and right sides are symmetrically separated; 3) the lower left area and the lower right area are exactly the same shape, and it is required to select the largest area as the input display area.

In the present embodiment, the algorithm of the keyboard shown in FIG. 4 is implemented as follows: according to the rule 2) 3), that is, the width ratio length of the complete keyboard rectangle is a certain value, which is denoted as tga. Rays AB and ED are made along points A and E, and the two arcs intersect with point B and point D respectively; the perpendicular lines of AE are made from point B and point D, respectively, intersecting with AE and point C and point F; H=min(C,F) is the abscissa of the diagonal of the display area of the left and right input methods, and the ordinate is G=H/tga. This will determine how the keyboard will be displayed within these two arcs. The keyboard can then be displayed to the input display area.

The method of the embodiment performs the corresponding keyboard display according to the input range of the user, so that the keyboard is displayed within the input range of the user; thus, when the user uses the large screen terminal, the keyboard can be conveniently touched on the keyboard within the input range. Any of the keys and apply the keyboard for input.
