The defective of prior art is: when carrying out the English input owing to the keyboard that adopts existing portable terminal, each English character of input all can be in highlighted state earlier, so that wait for the next English character on the same button of input, therefore, when needs carry out the continuous input of English, if two English characters to be imported are positioned on the same character keys, new English character of then every input all needs to wait for after the highlighted state of previous English character disappears and just can carry out.Thereby the speed of having incured loss through delay English input greatly influences user's impression.

For example, as shown in Figure 1, when the user wants to import two English characters " aa " continuously, because character " a " all needs by No. 2 key inputs, therefore after the user imports first " a ", need to wait for after its highlighted state disappears and could continue second " a " of input, otherwise first " a " of just having imported will be alternative by another character " b " on No. 2 keys, thereby the generation input error influences user's input speed and service efficiency.

Summary of the invention

The problem to be solved in the present invention is: when importing the English character that is positioned on the same character keys, because the existence of highlighted state has influenced the speed of importing.

In order to address the above problem, one embodiment of the present of invention have provided a kind of mobile terminal character input method, comprising:

Import first English character;

Press highlighted state cancel key, to cancel the highlighted state of described first English character;

Input and described first English character are positioned at second English character on the same character keys.

In order to address the above problem, an alternative embodiment of the invention has provided a kind of portable terminal, comprising:

Character is strong, is used to import English character;

Highlighted state cancel key is used to cancel the highlighted state of the described English character of input.

In the present invention, by pressing highlighted state cancel key, solved the quick input problem of the English character that is positioned on the same character keys, user's input speed and service efficiency have been improved.

Below by drawings and Examples, technical scheme of the present invention is described in further detail.

Description of drawings

Fig. 1 is for importing the process flow diagram of English character " aa " in the prior art;

Embodiment

As shown in Figure 3, present embodiment provides a kind of portable terminal 10, comprising the highlighted state cancel key 12 that is used to import the character strong 11 of English character and is used to cancel the highlighted state of English character.Based on this portable terminal 10, present embodiment also provides a kind of mobile terminal character input method, as Fig. 2 comprising:

Step 101 enters user's editing interface, and portable terminal is arranged at the English character input state.Particularly, can switch to the abc input method.Portable terminal wherein can be intelligent terminal.

Step 102 is imported first English character.

Particularly, according to putting in order in first English character to be imported each English character on character keys 11, described character keys 11 is pressed corresponding number of times.For example, suppose that with input English character " ef " be example, according to existing cell phone keyboard arrangement mode,, therefore when input English character " e ", to press twice No. 3 key because English character " e " is arranged in the 2nd of No. 33 English characters " d " " e " " f " on the key.

Step 103 is pressed highlighted state cancel key 12.

Wherein, highlighted state cancel key 12 does not comprise and may make the user can't normally import the button that it wants the English character imported.Hang-up key for example, owing to can make portable terminal jump out the English character input state when pressing hang-up key, thus make the user can't continue normal input; Acknowledgement key for example again shows user's input operation that has been through with owing to press acknowledgement key, then may carry out operations such as the information that will import sends, thereby also can interrupt user's normal input.

Might influence the button that the user carries out the input of normal English character except above-mentioned, can press in this step as highlighted state cancel key 12.The button that can be used as highlighted state cancel key 12 is directionkeys, especially direction right button for example.After being finished, current English character input enters the state of the next English character of input rapidly.

It is to be noted herein, if there is not directionkeys up and down on the portable terminal, also can be by the method for software, operating key of definition in the software editing interface, do not cause any input action, and just be used for finishing the current highlighted state of first English character, with as highlighted state cancel key 12, play with directionkeys similarly acting on.

Step 104, the input and first English character are positioned at second English character on the same character keys.

The described method of concrete input method and step 102 is similar, according to putting in order in second English character to be imported each English character on character keys 11, described character keys 11 is pressed corresponding number of times.Suppose that with input English character " ef " be example, after execution of step 101-103 is with the input of finishing English character " e ", import English character " f " again.Because English character " f " is arranged in the 3rd of No. 33 English characters " d " " e " " f " on the key, therefore when input English character " f ", to press three times No. 3 key.

Need to prove herein, if first English character to be imported is positioned on the different character keys with second English character, when after having imported first English character, pressing another character keys at the second English character place again, because this character keys can be eliminated the highlighted state of first English character automatically, therefore do not belong to problem to be solved by this invention, repeat no more herein.

By the described method of present embodiment,, user's input speed and service efficiency have been improved by pressing highlighted state cancel key, solved the quick input problem of the English character that is positioned on the same character keys.
