Embodiment

Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment only is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills belong to the scope of protection of the invention not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite.

Referring to Fig. 1, the self-adaptation input method that the embodiment of the invention provides may further comprise the steps:

S101: obtain the attribute information of the input focus place environment of input method system, and analyze whether comprise the characteristic information that presets in the described attribute information;

Because input method system normally is installed in certain operating system, simultaneously, its operation normally depends on software environment (as word document, Webpage, mailing system, instant software or the like), this software environment is called the host of input method system, therefore, the host that the input focus place environment of described input method system can comprise input method system perhaps installs the operating system of described input method system etc.

Briefly introduce host's notion below, for example, for a word document of opening, winword.exe is a program, what this program was opened is a word document, and so at this moment the embodiment of the invention described " host " should be meant this word document, rather than winword.exe.

In embodiments of the present invention, the host of described input method system comprises: input method system provides the literal input frame in system, application program, the application program page or the application program page at literal input service place, or the like.Wherein, when described host is system, be the equal of on system desktop, to import.For example, on revising desktop, during the filename of certain file, input method can be switched to the automatic completion pattern of suffix name, or the like.Wherein, described system can be the operating systems such as Windows, Linux of common indication, also goes for directly the situation as operating system such as browser.

Need to prove that described attribute information is meant that the embodiment of the invention only needs to obtain the lip-deep information in the input focus place environment of described input method system, and does not need these information are carried out deep analysis.For example, the embodiment of the invention only needs to know that the character set in certain word document of operation is Chinese or English, and does not need to know the implication that character is concrete by analysis.In addition, the method for the embodiment of the invention is to carry out carrying out before the concrete words input the user, this shows that the process that the context of importing according to the user in the embodiment of the invention and the prior art carries out association is distinguished to some extent.

S102: when comprising at least one characteristic information that presets in the described attribute information, described input method system carried out the adjustment that adapts with described characteristic information.

Intelligently judge for the ease of input method system, can set in advance rule base in the embodiment of the invention, in rule base, enumerate some rules, preserved the characteristic information that presets in this rule, can preserve the method for adjustment of each characteristic information correspondence simultaneously; Attribute information at the input focus place environment that gets access to input method system, can directly described attribute information and the characteristic information that is preset be compared, if be complementary with certain bar characteristic information, then can adopt the method for adjustment corresponding, the input method dictionary is adjusted with this characteristic information.

For example, when the input focus of input method system is certain input frame on certain webpage, then need getattr information from this webpage, at this moment, just can search, mate legal webpage mark in this webpage. such as a rule in the rule base be: every at webpage html＜meta the charset attribute is arranged in the label, and when property value is " en-us ", then Mo Ren language input type is English input. whether what then step S102 need do is exactly to search in the html to have＜meta〉and label, if have, judgement＜meta then〉whether the charset attribute is arranged, if having, then take out value wherein, for example,＜meta charset=" gb2312 " 〉.Continue to judge whether its property value is " en-us ", if then the language input type with the input method system acquiescence is adjusted into English input type.Like this, when the user imports, do not need to carry out manually input method to be switched to English input type in this webpage, just can directly carry out English input; Perhaps, also can at this moment, be equivalent to the keyboard operation that operating system directly receives the user automatically with the input function shielding of input method system, the user can directly go up screen with letter, symbol etc. equally and show when knocking keyboard.

Need to prove, when the input function of shielding input method system, for the desktop input method, be equivalent to input method system is closed, for input method in network, be equivalent to no longer send the conversion request of obtaining candidate item to server.

Specifically described input method system being carried out self-adaptation when adjusting, can be that the language input type to described input method system, auxiliary input pattern, user interface, dictionary and/or candidate item are carried out the adjustment that adapts with described characteristic information.The characteristic information that presets can include but not limited to that language to be imported is that the language form that presets, content to be imported are to belong to combobox that presets classification, the auxiliary input of input control existence and/or the maximum length that input control exists permission to import; The adjustment that described input method system is carried out adapting with described characteristic information can include but not limited to: the language input type switched to the described language form that presets, the auxiliary accordingly input pattern of classification that adopts and wait to import content, only loads and describedly wait to import the corresponding dictionary of classification of content, only represent with the described corresponding candidate item of classification of waiting to import content, change the candidate and represent the display position of window and/or provide the prompting of maximum length in user interface, or the like.

Wherein, described language input type comprises English input type, simplified/Chinese-traditional input type etc.; For example, under the environment that only needs to carry out English input, the language input type of input method system can be adjusted into English input type, carry out at needs the language input type of input method system to be adjusted into the Chinese-traditional input type under the environment of Chinese-traditional input; Perhaps, described language input type can also comprise input types such as numeral, symbol, for example, some numbers and symbols may carry out can switching to the symbol input type in the environment of symbol input at needs on same button, like this, after the user presses certain button, input be this button corresponding symbol, rather than the numeral;

Auxiliary input pattern can comprise name input pattern, mailbox completion pattern etc.; These auxiliary input patterns all are the functions that former input method system itself has, in the prior art, use which kind of auxiliary input pattern may need user's manual triggers, perhaps the context to user's input carries out the meaning of a word, semantic analysis triggers, and the embodiment of the invention can be according to the attribute information of the input focus place environment of input method system, trigger the switching of auxiliary input pattern, for example, the name of certain input frame is called " name " in finding webpage, then before the user carries out concrete input, just can be directly the auxiliary input pattern of input method be switched to the name input pattern, or the like;

User interface is meant that input method system is in the user interface situation when the user represents candidate item, corresponding adjustment can comprise the candidate presenting position of window, the adjustment of size etc., also has adjustment to input method skin, for example, when the prompting category information is arranged in the environment at input method system place, these prompting category informations should not be blocked, control candidate presenting position of window is avoided this prompting category information automatically when input method system has monitored the prompting category information, in addition, when the color obscuring mutually with input method skin or easily cause the vision conflict or pattern are arranged in the environment at input method system place, input method system is adjusted input method skin automatically, adapts to current environment;

Dictionary is meant the dictionary that input method loads, in the practical application, the input method dictionary may be classified, certainly The classification basis also may have nothing in common with each other, for example can comprise people's thesaurus, thesaurus, Chinese-traditional dictionary or the like, self-adaptation adjustment to dictionary in the embodiment of the invention can comprise the dictionary that appointment need load, for example, input method system loads certain or some specific dictionaries, then other dictionary does not reload, like this, just can not provide candidate item yet, thereby can avoid showing too many distracter according to the dictionary that does not load;

The self-adaptation adjustment of candidate item mainly is meant shields the candidate item that some may cause interference, for example, the user is " text " a type, title is input " zhu " in the HTML input frame label of " LastName " (being intended that input surname " Zhu "), if at this moment the input method system content for the treatment of input does not add differentiation, then may provide the candidate item (surnames " Zhu " such as " 1. firmly 2. notes 3. boil 4. and lean on 5. pigs " of unified ordering, " wish " etc. and may all come after first page), and utilize the method for the embodiment of the invention, can know in advance that the user is " text " a type, import in the HTML input frame label of title " LastName ", therefore, can set in advance to the candidate item of non-surname with word shielded; Like this, the candidate item that finally provides will obviously, can promote user's input efficiency like this for being defined as surname with " 1. Zhu 2. wishes 3. Zhus, 4. all 5. Chus " of word etc.

Below shielding how to carry out candidate item is briefly described.Usually, each entry (comprising individual character) can exist as data in the database in the input method dictionary, and every data can have a plurality of fields, is used to write down the attribute information of entry.For example, the word frequency field can be comprised usually, fields such as part of speech or classification mark can also be comprised.Such as, in the classification tag field, entry can be labeled as surname word, place name, numeral-classifier compound, verb, video display name or the like.In embodiments of the present invention, classification according to entry shields if desired, just can obtain the category attribute of entry, then such other entry being presented at the candidate as candidate item represents in the window, the entry that does not have this classification mark is removed or hiding getting final product in candidate list, does not promptly represent in the window the candidate to represent.Certainly, the data that can also to adopt a kind of extreme mode be each big classification show as a tabulation separately, take different internal memories respectively.Such as the simplified dictionary in the existing input method system, traditional font dictionary, English dictionary, network address prompting dictionary, wrong sound prompting dictionary, or the like, corresponding screen method can be very simple, for example, when input method system generates candidate list, only load such other dictionary and get final product.

That is to say, can give different category attributes the entry of same dictionary.Give " English " attribute such as English entry, give " Japanese " attribute such as the Japanese entry, surname gives " surname " attribute with word, or the like.Be equivalent to a plurality of classified lexicons are merged into a dictionary, compare with loading each classified lexicon respectively, the implementation method difference, but final effect is identical.

As mentioned before, the input focus place environment of the described input method system of the embodiment of the invention can comprise the host of input method system, the operating system of described input method system perhaps is installed, the embodiment of the invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the input focus place environment of concrete input method system.

Embodiment one

In this embodiment, the attribute information of the input focus place environment of described input method system can be the host's of described input method system a descriptor, specifically be meant descriptor to the document body matter, usually can be described as metadata (metadata), promptly describe the data of " body matter ".During specific implementation, described host's information can comprise described host's structural information, and perhaps, host's document character set information is introduced respectively below.

(1) when described host's descriptor is described host's structural information, can be when having the characteristic information that presets in the described structural information, described input method system is carried out the adjustment that adapts with described characteristic information.

Wherein, described structural information just is meant to be exactly text structure information except the text body matter.For example, for certain webpage, usually by the html language description, can be divided into structure language and word content two parts, for example, certain html fragment "＜title〉title 1＜/title〉" in,＜title〉and＜/title〉this mark belongs to structure language, and " title 1 " belongs to word content.Document, audio-video document etc. for other are divided into structure language and word content two parts equally.

The concrete structural information of host also has multiple, introduces several concrete implementations below.

1) described structural information can comprise the name attribute of structural element among the described host, the concrete self-adaptation adjustment to input method system can be: when the title of described structural element belongs to when presetting classification, triggering described input method system adopts and the auxiliary accordingly input pattern of classification of waiting to import content, or, only load the described input method dictionary that presets classification, or, trigger described input method system and only show the described candidate item that presets classification.

For example, be that " text ", name are called the HTML input frame＜input of " LastName " for a type〉label, what can know is that the user need import a text in this input frame, and the text should be the surname word; Wherein, " LastName " is exactly the title of this structural element, simultaneously, this title is (being to comprise " LastName " this feature in the rule base) in the classification that presets, like this, and when the user carries out concrete input, just can only show entry with " LastName " sign, perhaps only load the dictionary of " LastName " class, the candidate item that finally provides will be for being defined as surname with " 1. Zhu 2. wishes 3. Zhus, 4. all 5. Chus " of word etc.

And for example, for a type is HTML input frame＜input that " text ", name are called " email " or " dianyou (Email) " or " dianziyouxiang (E-mail address) "〉label, what can know is, the user need import a text in this input frame, and the text should be certain email address; At this moment, just can enter mailbox completion pattern automatically, promptly import the auxiliary input pattern of mailbox of mailbox intention at the user.Under this pattern, can directly provide " @ ", the user can successively finish the input of a, b and c according to the order of a@b.c, promotes input efficiency.

For another example, be that " text ", name are called the HTML input frame＜input of " address " for a type〉label, what can know is that the user need import a text in this input frame, and the text should be certain place name; At this moment, can only load the ground thesaurus that is designated " address ", perhaps, will not have other entry shieldings of " address " sign, it not represented in the window the candidate show.

2) described structural information also can comprise the linguistic property of structural element among the described host, the concrete self-adaptation adjustment to input method system can be: when the linguistic property of described structural element is English, shield the input function of described input method system, or the acquiescence input pattern that switches described input method system is an English mode.

For example, for described type is the HTML input frame＜input of " text "〉label, if the linguistic property that can know this label is " englishname " (can ignorecase), then the user can only import English in this input frame, at this moment, just can shield the input function of described input method system, or the default language input type that switches described input method system is English type, make in the process that the user imports, no longer provide candidate item, perhaps send conversion request, can when raising the efficiency, save the resource of system to server.

Under this example, be called " LastName " if can also know the name of described label, that is to say, only allow the English surname of input in this input frame; For input method system, be equivalent to know two features simultaneously that then comprehensively these two features are adjusted input method system, for example, not only can automatically switch to English input type, automatically shielding all entries except that English surname.

Here need to prove, may there be following situation in the prior art: the current input in Chinese type that is in of input method system, but in certain webpage, carry out the input of password if desired, then cursor is moved to after the password input frame, can not carry out directly in the password input frame, importing English character under the situation of any other operation.This is the function that is provided by webpage itself, just when making webpage, is set to shield the input function of input method system, directly reads in data from keyboard.And all functions of the embodiment of the invention are all provided by input method system, that is to say, for the input frame that only allows to carry out English input, even when making webpage, do not shield the input function of input method system, input method system also can shield automatically, or the switching of pattern.

3) described structural information can also comprise the user interface attributes of structural element among the host, the concrete self-adaptation adjustment to input method system can be: when described structural element is an input control, and when on user interface, having the combobox of auxiliary input, trigger described input method system and the candidate is represented window be presented at outside the described combobox indication range; Perhaps, when described structural element is an input control, and when on user interface, having maximum input length attribute, triggers described input method system user's input length is carried out record, if user's input surpasses described maximum input length, then to user's display reminding information.

That is to say, the described self-adaptation adjustment of the embodiment of the invention to input method system, not only can carry out the self-adaptation adjustment, can also carry out the self-adaptation adjustment in the reality of user interface input method system to language input type, auxiliary input pattern, dictionary, candidate item etc.

For example, may there be the combobox of auxiliary input in some the webpage controls that can import, such as the div window of realizing input suggestion combobox, " autocomplete (completion automatically) " attribute (promptly has automatic completion function for the input control of " on ", can be according to the entry of in this control, having imported, or automatic completion done in the entry of importing before), in this case, if do not process, then the input field of input method system and candidate represent window and may cause combobox and block, interface synoptic diagram when as shown in Figure 2, it blocks webpage input control combobox for the input method window.

And in embodiments of the present invention, can be by analysis to structure of web page information, whether obtain the combobox relevant information (exists, origin coordinates and size etc.), triggering input method system represents window with input field and candidate and is not plotted to combobox is caused the place of blocking, as shown in Figure 3, the input method window does not cause interface synoptic diagram when blocking to webpage input control combobox in its method that provides for the embodiment of the invention.

And for example, some input control has the requirement of maximum input length, at this moment, can in structural information the maximum length of energy input characters be set by " maxlength " attribute.At this moment, can be to user's display reminding information.Concrete, described information can be in the process of user's input this maximum length to be prompted to the user; Simultaneously, can also trigger input method system user's input length is carried out record, when user's input met or exceeded the value of maxlength, described information can also be that the prompting user has has met or exceeded the maximum input length that this control allows, or the like.

Wherein, during specific implementation, can be after knowing described maximum length value, start a counter, the initial value of this counter can be made as described maximum length value, when the user carries out formal input, character of the every input of user, just counter can be subtracted an operation, when described counter is 0, can make prompting to the user.Certainly, if the unit of described maximum length value is a byte, if the then input in Chinese carried out of user because a Chinese character takies two bytes, therefore, can subtract two operations to described counter.

(2) be when presetting the document character set of language form when described host's descriptor comprises linguistic property, it can be feature according to described document character set, the language input type of described input method system is switched to the language form of described document character set, perhaps, only load the input method dictionary of the language form correspondence of described document character set.

Usually, can comprise document character set information in a host's the metadata, for example, webpage＜meta the charset attribute is arranged, employed character set when having shown the text that shows in this webpage in the label, that is to say, when webpage html＜meta the charset attribute is arranged in the label, and property value proves that then this webpage is pure English webpage when being " en-us ", if in this webpage input frame is arranged, also only allow the user in input frame, to carry out English input usually; At this moment, if current input method system is in the input in Chinese state, then after learning the above-mentioned feature of webpage, input method just can directly switch to input method English input type, like this, the user is by the keyboard input alphabet time, and input method system just can not provide corresponding candidate item, but directly screen on the letter of user's input is shown; Perhaps, also can at this moment, be equivalent to the keyboard operation that operating system directly receives the user automatically with the input function shielding of input method system, the user can directly go up screen with letter, symbol etc. equally and show when knocking keyboard.

For example, can judge＜meta whether the charset attribute is arranged in the label, if have, then take out value wherein, if its value then shows the Chinese-traditional that uses among this host for " big5 ", then the default conditions of input method system can be switched to the Chinese-traditional input, only load the Chinese-traditional dictionary, when the user imports, just can only show the Chinese-traditional candidate item in this webpage; If its value is " ISO-2022-JP " then show the Japanese that uses among this host, then the default conditions of input method system can be switched to the Japanese input, only load the Japanese dictionary, when the user imports, just can only show the Japanese candidate item in this webpage; If its value for " US-ASCII ", then for to show the English that uses among this host, then can switch to the default conditions of input method system English input, only load English dictionary, when the user imports, just can only show English candidate item in this webpage; Perhaps, when the value of charset attribute is " US-ASCII ", also can be directly with the input function shielding of input method system, directly receive user's input from keyboard, certainly, because shielded the input function of input method, then character is imported one by one, and can't use function such as automatic word completion.

Need to prove, when the host of input method system is browser page, can add up the attribute information of each Webpage that can open in the browser in advance, according to the characteristic information that presets that comprises in the described attribute information, for each browser page is formulated the adjustment strategy, and generate the URL (UniformResource Locator, URL(uniform resource locator)) of described Webpage and the correspondence relationship information between the described adjustment strategy.Wherein, concrete statistic processes can be waited by input method server, search engine system and finish, and the correspondence relationship information that statistics obtains can save as the form of tables of data, with the adjustment foundation of doing input method system.

By this method, be the equal of that work with partial analysis is placed on the backstage and carries out, like this, can improve the efficient of adjustment.For example, when the host who finds input method system is browser page, just can at first obtain the URL (with a kind of descriptor of URL) of this browser page as the host of input method system, can judge then whether this URL appears at (whether the descriptor of promptly judging the host comprises the characteristic information that presets) in the corresponding relation tables of data, if there is record in the corresponding relation tables of data about this URL, obtain the adjustment strategy of this URL correspondence in then can this record, according to the adjustment strategy of this URL correspondence described input method system is adjusted and both can.

Need to prove, when specifically adding up on the backstage, can use method that the embodiment of the invention provides that the attribute information of each Webpage that can open in the browser is analyzed too, for example, analyze it and whether have element term or the element classification that presets classification, if have the element term or the element classification that preset classification, then the adjustment policy development of this Webpage URL is assisted input pattern accordingly for adopting with the described classification that presets, or, only load the described input method dictionary that presets classification, or the like.

In a word, in this embodiment one, various rules can include but not limited to the various situations shown in the table 1:
