In some embodiments, the software system of the electronic device 100 may adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-core architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. The embodiment of the present invention takes the layered architecture Android system as an example, and exemplifies the software structure of the electronic device 100.

FIG. 2 is a software structural block diagram of an electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each of which has a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, which are an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime and a system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.

The application layer (APP layer) may include a series of application packages.

As shown in Figure 2, the application package can include camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, SMS and other applications.

The application framework layer (framework layer) provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 2, the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the display size, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, take a screenshot, etc.

Content providers are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include videos, images, audio, calls made and received, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, and so on.

The view system includes visual controls, such as a text control that displays text, an image view control that displays pictures, and so on. The view system can be used to build applications. The display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, the display interface including the SMS notification icon may include a view that displays text and a view that displays pictures.

The phone manager is used to provide a communication function of the electronic device 100. For example, management of call status (including connection, hang up, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and so on.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, which can be used to convey notification-type messages that can disappear automatically after a short stay without user interaction. For example, the notification manager is used to inform download completion, message reminders, etc. The notification manager can also be a notification that appears in the status bar at the top of the system in the form of a chart or scroll bar text, such as a notification of an application running in the background, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, text messages are displayed in the status bar, sounds are emitted, electronic equipment vibrates, and the indicator light flashes.

The Android Runtime includes core libraries and virtual machines. Android runtime is responsible for the scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library contains two parts: one is the functional functions that the Java language needs to call, and the other is the Android core library.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. Virtual machines are used to perform object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

The system library can include multiple functional modules. For example: surface manager (media manager), media library (Media library), three-dimensional graphics processing library (for example: OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (for example: SGL) and so on.

The Surface Manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides a fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio and video formats for playback and recording, as well as still image files. The media library can support multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing.

The 2D graphics engine is a graphics engine for 2D graphics.

The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer contains at least a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver, and a sensor driver.

In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2, the view system of the application framework layer may include a text view control. The text view control can be used to construct the input box in the application, so that the input box of each application in the application layer can implement the information input process based on the text view control.

Exemplarily, each application in the application layer may include one or more input boxes. For example, the WeChat application contains input boxes for chatting with contacts and input boxes for searching. An application that contains an input box can register the ID of the input box it contains in the text control. For example, when registering, the application can send its own package name (packname) and its input box identification in the application to the text view control. The textview control generates an ID that uniquely identifies the input box for the registered input box. For example, the textview control may use a hash algorithm (hash) to generate the ID of the input box according to the package name of the application and the identification of the input box in the application. In this way, each input box in the electronic device 100 can be registered with a unique ID in the textview control, and the electronic device 100 can set a corresponding database (such as a history database) to maintain the ID of each input box.

Subsequently, when it is detected that the user inputs information into an input box (for example, input box A) of an application, the application can call the text view control to save the input content in the input box A as a historical input record and establish it. Correspondence between the historical input record and the input box ID. For example, the textview control can save the correspondence between the ID of the input box A and its historical input record in the historical record database. In this way, the correspondence relationship between each input box and each historical input record is maintained in the electronic device 100.

Taking the input box A as an example, when it is detected that the user operates the input box A (such as clicking on the input box A), the text view control can query the input box A corresponding to the input box A according to the ID of the input box A. Or multiple historical input records, and these historical input records can be displayed near the input box A as candidate input items. In this way, if a user selects a candidate input item, the electronic device may automatically input the candidate input item into the input box A, thereby avoiding the problem that the user repeatedly inputs the same information and reduces the input efficiency.

In addition, since the above-mentioned view system can provide the above-mentioned input service to all applications having input boxes, when a user inputs information using any input box, the electronic device 100 can provide candidate input items according to the above method, and the user can use the candidate input items to Convenient and fast input information in each input box, thereby alleviating the bad user experience of uneven input efficiency in different input boxes.

Of course, in addition to the above historical input records as candidate input items, the text view control can also recommend other information as candidate input items to the user. For example, the electronic device 100 may set an AI (artificial intelligence) database in advance. If the application to which the input box A belongs is a music application, the textview control may use the AI database as a candidate for the most recent popular song or singer The input items are recommended to the user; for another example, if the input box A is an input box in the chat interface with the contact Sam, the textview control can obtain candidate input recommended to the user from the AI database according to the chat content in the chat interface Items, so that users can get intelligent input experience when using various input boxes.

In the following, a mobile phone is used as the above-mentioned electronic device, and a method for inputting information into an input box provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the input box involved in the embodiment of the present application may be an input box with a search function, for example, an input box in a browser application, or an input box used solely for interactive information, for example, in a text message application. Text message input box, chat input box with contacts in WeChat application, etc. The user can input information such as text, letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, and expressions into the input box, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 3, a chat input box 301 with a contact Sam in the WeChat application is taken as an example. When the WeChat application is installed, the WeChat application may register the input box 301 with a view system (for example, a text view control) in the application framework layer. During registration, the view system can generate a globally unique ID for the input box 301. Subsequently, the view system can provide related input services for the input box 301 according to the ID. It should be noted that when registering an input box with a view system, a WeChat application can register with the type of the input box as a granularity. For example, the input box in the chat interface of each contact in the WeChat application belongs to the chat input box, so the WeChat application can uniformly register the ID of the chat input box in the view system. At this time, the ID of the contact input box 301 of Sam The ID of the chat input box is the same as that of contact Mike. Of course, the number of input boxes can also be used to register the input boxes with the view system. At this time, the IDs of the chat input boxes corresponding to different contacts are different.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3, during the process of inputting information in the input box 301 by the user, if it is detected that the user completes the input, for example, when it is detected that the user clicks the send button 302, the WeChat application may call the view system to At this time, the input content (for example, "133595966688") in the input box 301 is saved as the first history input record, and a correspondence relationship between the first history input record and the ID of the input box 301 is established.

For example, the mobile phone may establish corresponding history record tables for different input boxes according to the IDs of the input boxes. As shown in FIG. 4, taking the above input box 301 as an example, the history record table 401 corresponding to the ID of the input box 301 can record the user's input content in the input box 301 (that is, the history input record). In this way, the correspondence between the historical input record and the ID of the input box can be established.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in the history record table 401, the mobile phone can also record the input time of each history input record. In addition, the mobile phone can also identify the specific type of each historical input record, such as text type, number type, picture type, expression type, song type, or ancient poetry type. The mobile phone can record the identified specific types together in the history record table 401 and associate them with the corresponding history input records. In this way, the mobile phone can record the historical input records of each input box in the mobile phone and the related information of the historical input records.

In other embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the mobile phone may further set a button 501 in the input box 301. This button 501 can be used to trigger the mobile phone to record the current input content as a history input record in the history record, for example, in the form of a table in the history record table 401. That is, in the process of inputting information into the input box 301, the user can manually set certain input contents as historical input records for storage via the button 501. As shown in (a) of FIG. 5, after the user inputs “My name is Alice” in the input box 301, if it is detected that the user clicks the button 501, it indicates that the user wishes to save the input content this time as a historical input record. Later, you may need to enter the historical input record of "My name is Alice" again. Further, in response to the user's operation of clicking the button 501, the mobile phone may input the content in the input box 301, that is, "My name is Alice", and record it as a historical input record in the historical record corresponding to the ID of the input box 301. In this way, the mobile phone can selectively save some important or possibly re-used input content as historical input records.

Exemplarily, when the mobile phone saves the historical input record "My name is Alice" in the history record, it can also automatically identify and record the type of the historical record, for example, identify the historical input record "My name is Alice" as a text type . Alternatively, the user can also manually set the type of the historical input record when the mobile phone saves the historical input record of "My name is Alice". For example, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), when it is detected that the user clicks the button 501, the mobile phone may further display a menu 502. The menu 502 includes all save types supported by the mobile phone when saving historical input records, such as text, expressions, pictures, and songs. In this way, the user can manually select in the menu 502 which save type is used to save the historical input record "My name is Alice" in the history record table 401. For example, if it is detected that the user clicks on the "text" save type in the menu 502, the mobile phone may create a history input record "My name is Alice" in the history record table 401 to establish the history input record and the text type. Correspondence between.

The button 501 can be displayed in the input box 301 all the time. Alternatively, the mobile phone may display the button 501 when detecting that the user inputs information into the input box 301, and may detect the button 501 when detecting that the user stops inputting in the input box 301. Alternatively, the mobile phone may also automatically recognize the input content in the input box 301, and when a preset keyword (for example, phone, address, etc.) is recognized, the mobile phone may display the button 501. Of course, the user can also call up the button 501 by performing a corresponding gesture, and the button 501 can also be displayed at a position other than the input box 301, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the mobile phone can continuously update the historical input records recorded in the historical records (for example, the historical record table 401). For example, the mobile phone may maintain a history entry record entered in the input box 301 within the last month in the history record table 401. Then, when the input time of a certain historical input record exceeds the time limit of one month, the mobile phone can automatically delete the historical input record. Alternatively, the mobile phone may maintain a certain number (for example, 20) of history input records in the history record table 401. Then, when there are more than 20 history input records in the history record table 401, the mobile phone can automatically delete the history input records with an earlier input time. Understandably, the history record table 401 may be stored in a mobile phone or in a server.

In the above embodiment, it is explained how to generate a history input record (for example, the history record table 401) associated with the input box 301 when the user inputs information into the input box 301. The following embodiments will explain in detail how to provide the user with candidate input items according to the historical input records when the user inputs information into the input box 301 in conjunction with the drawings.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the mobile phone runs the WeChat application, if it is detected that the user clicks the input box 301 in the chat interface 601 with Mike, it indicates that the user is ready to enter information into the input box 301 at this time. In response to the operation of the user clicking the input box 301, the mobile phone may display the first prompt box 602, for example, the first prompt box 602 is displayed in the attachment of the input box 301. The first prompt box 602 includes one or more candidate input items 603. The candidate input item 603 may be a history input record in the history record table 401 corresponding to the input box 301.
