Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an input technology of a terminal, in particular to a mobile terminal, a keyboard of the mobile terminal and a using method of the keyboard.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of the electronic industry and communication technology, new services based on data, voice, and video have been developed rapidly. The rapid development of the microelectronic technology and the computer software and hardware technology lays a foundation for the terminal equipment to process more and more complex work, and provides realization possibility for individuation of the terminal equipment, so that the terminal gets rid of the restriction of the network to a certain extent and can have more and more powerful functions. In addition, the user himself has urgent needs for the terminal, and the terminal is expected to have stronger, more flexible and simpler functions. The development of information technology leads the terminal technology to be intelligent, mobile and multifunctional.
The mobile phone is the most familiar terminal, and now becomes an indispensable article for daily life. In order to make the mobile phone more convenient for people to use, the keyboard of the mobile phone of the terminal equipment is continuously developed.
The earlier appearing handset keypads were typically 12-key keypads. The mobile phone keyboard uses eight number keys 2-9 and letter keys as a character input keyboard, and letters are arranged in sequence. The disadvantage of this arrangement is that the input is cumbersome. For example, if the English letter "S" is input, the 7(pqrs) key needs to be pressed 4 times. If Chinese is entered, for example, the word "like" is entered using the pinyin, the keys 9(wxyz) -2 (abc) -6 (mno) are required. The above input may generate various combinations such as zan, yao, zao, yan, and wan, and the user must press the direction key to select the desired pinyin again, or click one key many times until inputting the corresponding character, which greatly reduces the efficiency of character input. When the number or the english is to be input, the user needs to switch to the number input state or the english input state, which is particularly inconvenient for editing mixed text containing both characters and numbers and english.
Later, computer keyboard-like layouts, i.e., "QWERTY" keyboard full-alphabet keyboard handsets, have gradually emerged. Because the area of the panel of the mobile phone terminal equipment is small, the largest area is often the display screen of the terminal, so that the space reserved for a keyboard is limited, and even if the keyboard layout is similar to that of a computer, the keyboard layout can be adaptively adjusted according to specific conditions. For example, the directional control keys of the full-letter mobile phone keyboard are generally arranged at the lower left corner or the lower right corner, or arranged at the upper part of the full-letter keys, and frequent operations are required when the directional control keys are used for the mobile phone, so that finger muscle tension is easily caused, fingers are in a fatigue state after long-time use, the directional control keys are not obviously arranged, a user needs to search carefully during operation, and the arrangement mode and the shape of most keyboards do not consider the characteristics of handheld products, so that the inconvenience in use is caused. At the same time, such keyboards have an inevitable drawback, namely that the keys of the keyboard are too small. The area of the terminal panel is limited, and the size of the keys is sacrificed to provide a full keyboard layout. The undersize keys can cause inconvenience for the user.
In addition, the above two types of keyboards have a common disadvantage in that specific letters or numbers are fixedly present on specific keys. When some keys are used more frequently than other keys, the keys are inevitably aged and damaged too early, and the service life of the terminal is affected.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a corresponding and effective technical solution to solve the problem of information input of the terminal device.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
In order to achieve the object of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a keyboard of a mobile terminal, where the keyboard includes:
the character key is provided with a gear key DiI is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and a gear key DiIs shown with ZiA number of characters, where N is the number of gear positions,
m is the total number of characters displayed by the keyboard; wherein, the gear button DiFor inputting character information, clicking the shift key D to which a specific character belongsiThe gear key DiZ of (A) toiAnd displaying the characters on a terminal screen for selection by a user, wherein the user selects the specific characters to realize character input.
A typical 12-key keypad handset has 3 to 4 characters per key, and the drawbacks of operation have been described in the background section. Therefore, to achieve the object of the present invention, the present invention first proposes the concept of the gear. Each gear key corresponds to a group of character information; then, the characters in the gear are distributed to other keys, and each key corresponds to a corresponding character, so that the characters are input.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of a keyboard designed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The key point of the present invention is mainly reflected in the lower half of fig. 1, and the keys in the upper half are usually the common keys of the terminal keyboard, which are not described herein again. In the embodiment of fig. 1, the keyboard system has 10 gears, i.e., gears 0 to 9, and each gear key represents a character set as shown in fig. 1.
For convenience of explanation, the number on the gear button represents the gear to which the gear button belongs; and when the user clicks the gear button where the number is located, the gear of the character set on the gear is put into gear. For example, the 1 st gear button corresponds to 1 ABC.
When the 1-gear button is clicked to engage a gear, a character set similar to that shown in fig. 2 is displayed on the terminal screen. When the 3 rd gear button is clicked to engage in a gear, a character set similar to that shown in fig. 3 is displayed on the terminal screen.
Obviously, the gear key mentioned in the present invention includes any one or a combination of the following keys:
the physical keys, namely the specific keys commonly used by the terminal, form the terminal keyboard provided by the invention; or,
the virtual keys, namely the gear keys, are screen focuses of the terminal, the focus controls are triggered when the keys are pressed down, and the virtual keys form the terminal keyboard provided by the invention.
When a terminal keyboard provided by the present invention is formed by specific physical keys, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, a or a needs to be input, only the corresponding key needs to be clicked according to the character distribution diagram of the screen. Obviously, if C or C needs to be input, the 7-gear shift key is clicked, and then the corresponding key is clicked according to the screen character allocation diagram for input.
When the virtual keys form the terminal keyboard provided by the invention, the screen displays the virtual keyboard which is consistent with the lower half part of the figure 1, after a user clicks the gear keys where the characters are located, the screen virtual keys can be changed into the virtual keyboard which is similar to the figure 2 or the figure 3, and the input can be finished only by clicking the characters at the corresponding positions again.
As an embodiment of the invention, click the shift key D to which the specific character belongsiWhen the predetermined time threshold value T is exceeded, the screen displays DiThe corresponding capital letters are used, otherwise, the corresponding capital letters are small-case letters. Therefore, in this embodiment, in a specific use process of the terminal, only upper-case or lower-case letters are displayed on the terminal screen by a long click or a short click, and the situations shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3 do not occur.
Thus, the desired character can be entered by only two clicks. In comparison, the characters required for conventional 12-pad input require more clicks. This is because the final target character cannot be determined by the conventional handset keypad, and thus many combinations are generated, and the user must select his own target.
It is clear that the 10-shift position key is only one embodiment of the present invention, including but not limited to a 10-shift position key keyboard. For example, the gears may be increased or decreased as desired. Generally, the fewer gears are, the more beneficial the area of the keys is to be increased, so that the convenience is brought to the user for inputting information; for example, on the premise that the effective area of the keyboard is fixed, keys below 12 th gear have larger key area than that of the traditional 12-key keyboard, and the input efficiency is higher than that of the traditional 12-key keyboard.
As an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further optimize the performance of the keyboard, the characters displayed on the shift keys may satisfy one or more of the following conditions:
each gear button DiThe number of characters displayed is:wherein, the [ alpha ], [ beta ]]The rounding operator. Under the condition, the number of characters distributed on the gear keys is balanced as much as possible, which is beneficial to improving the input efficiency of the keyboard and balancing the use efficiency of each key.
Each gear button has at most one numeric character. Under the condition, when the terminal is used for dialing a telephone and needs to input numbers, the required telephone number can be input as soon as possible.
And displaying the characters with high use frequency and the characters with low use frequency on one gear button.
Generally, when a user uses a keyboard, the frequency of characters to be input is different. For example, taking numbers as an example, the numbers 6, 8 are generally used more frequently than the number 4; taking letters as an example, according to statistics, the usage frequency of English letters is as follows: a: 8.19%, B: 1.47%, C: 3.83%, D: 3.91%, E: 12.25%, F: 2.26%, G: 1.71%, H: 4.57%, I: 7.10%, J: 0.14%, K: 0.41%, L: 3.77%, M: 3.34%, N: 7.06%, O: 7.26%, P: 2.89%, Q: 0.09%, R: 6.85%, S: 6.36%, T: 9.41%, U: 2.58%, V: 1.09%, W: 1.59%, X: 0.21%, Y: 1.58%, Z: 0.08 percent.
If a certain key is frequently used in a concentrated manner, or a certain screen position corresponding to a virtual key on a terminal screen is frequently used in a concentrated manner, premature aging and damage of the certain key are easily caused. Therefore, the characters with high use frequency and the characters with low use frequency can be displayed on one gear button according to the prior use frequency data. For example, the letter E is most frequently used and can be placed in the same shift position key as the number 4. The ultimate goal is to make the frequency with which each shift key is used tend to be equal.
In order to improve the efficiency of inputting information, as an embodiment of the present invention, displaying total characters on a keyboard includes: numeric characters 0-9, 26 english letters, # and symbol sets. At this time, M was 39.
As an embodiment of the present invention, when the keyboard has 10 shift keys, one of the shift keys displays 3 characters, the other 9 shift keys display 4 characters, and each shift key only displays one numeric character.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, as an embodiment of the present invention, 10 shift keys form a keyboard schematic diagram of a first group of square keys and a second group of square keys.
Specifically, the shift key DiAnd the corresponding character combinations are as follows:
the first set of the square-shaped keys comprises:
1 st gear D1: 1. s, Z, 2 nd gear D2: 2. a, B, C, 3 rd gear D3: 3. e, F, D, 4 th D4: 4. h, I, G, 5 th D5：5、J、L、N；
The second set of the square-shaped keys comprises:
6 gear D6: 6. o, M, K, 7 th D7: 7. r, P, Q, 8 th D8: 8. u, V, T, 9 th gear D9: 9. w, X, Y, 0 th gear D0：0、*、#、
Wherein
Is a set of symbols.
The characters are assigned to the keys in a position corresponding to the arrangement of the characters displayed on the keys. The user presses which key to input which character, and the character input is realized quickly.
Based on the keyboard, the embodiment of the invention also discloses a mobile terminal, and particularly the keyboard used by the mobile terminal is the keyboard disclosed by the invention.
Further, such mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, cell phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), or palm top computers.
The keyboard or the terminal disclosed by the invention has one or more of the following advantages:
through the design of the gear keys of the keyboard, character information can be quickly input; the number of the keys can be adjusted according to needs to facilitate information input by a user, so that the utilization rate of the keyboard area can be effectively improved, for example, the information input by the user is facilitated by increasing the key area; the click frequency of each key is balanced, the premature aging and damage of a certain key or part are avoided, and the service life of the equipment is prolonged.
Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also discloses an input method of the mobile terminal, which comprises the following steps: determining specific character information needing to be input, wherein the specific character information is displayed on a character key, and the character key is provided with a gear key DiI is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and a gear key DiIs shown with ZiA number of characters, where N is the number of gear positions,
m is the total character displayed by the keyboardThe number of symbols; according to the specific character information, clicking a gear key D to which the specific character belongsiThe gear key DiZ of (A) toiCharacters are displayed on a terminal screen; and selecting the specific character displayed on the terminal screen to realize character information input.
Each step of the above method is described in detail below with reference to specific examples.
S110: specific character information to be input is determined.
In step S110, specific character information that needs to be input is first determined. Usually, the specific character information is displayed on the character keys, in the invention, the character keys are provided with a gear key DiI is more than or equal to 0 and less than N, and a gear key DiIs shown with ZiA number of characters, where N is the number of gear positions,m is the total number of characters displayed on the keyboard.
The shift key mentioned in step S110 includes any one or a combination of the following keys:
the physical keys, namely the keys commonly used by the terminal, form the terminal keyboard provided by the invention by the physical keys; or,
the virtual keys, namely the gear keys, are screen focuses of the terminal, the focus controls are triggered when the keys are pressed down, and the virtual keys form the terminal keyboard provided by the invention.
In order to improve the efficiency of inputting information, as an embodiment of the present invention, displaying total characters on a keyboard includes: numeric characters 0-9, 26 english letters, # and symbol sets. At this time, M was 39. Therefore, when characters such as numbers, English letters and the like need to be input, the characters can be directly found on the keyboard; if Chinese characters need to be input, the Chinese pinyin corresponding to the Chinese characters or the corresponding stroke character keys are the specific characters needing to be input. The stroke keys are usually displayed by combining with the number keys 1-5, and are respectively horizontal, vertical, left-falling, dot and horizontal folding (not shown in the keyboard of the attached drawing), and the input method of the invention is also applicable.
As an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further optimize the performance of the input method, the characters displayed on the key of the keyboard gear may satisfy one or more of the following conditions:
each gear button DiThe number of characters displayed is:
wherein, the [ alpha ], [ beta ]]The rounding operator. Under the condition, the number of characters distributed on the gear keys is balanced as much as possible, which is beneficial to improving the input efficiency of the keyboard and balancing the use efficiency of each key.
Each gear button has at most one numeric character. Under the condition, when the terminal is used for dialing a telephone and needs to input numbers, the required telephone number can be input as soon as possible.
And displaying the characters with high use frequency and the characters with low use frequency on one gear button.
Generally, when a user uses a keyboard, the frequency of characters to be input is different. For example, taking numbers as an example, the numbers 6, 8 are generally used more frequently than the number 4; taking letters as an example, according to statistics, the usage frequency of English letters is as follows: a: 8.19%, B: 1.47%, C: 3.83%, D: 3.91%, E: 12.25%, F: 2.26%, G: 1.71%, H: 4.57%, I: 7.10%, J: 0.14%, K: 0.41%, L: 3.77%, M: 3.34%, N: 7.06%, O: 7.26%, P: 2.89%, Q: 0.09%, R: 6.85%, S: 6.36%, T: 9.41%, U: 2.58%, V: 1.09%, W: 1.59%, X: 0.21%, Y: 1.58%, Z: 0.08 percent.
If a certain key is frequently used in a concentrated manner, or a certain screen position corresponding to a virtual key on a terminal screen is frequently used in a concentrated manner, premature aging and damage of the certain key are easily caused. Therefore, the characters with high use frequency and the characters with low use frequency can be displayed on one gear button according to the prior use frequency data. For example, the letter E is most frequently used and can be placed in the same shift position key as the number 4. The ultimate goal is to make the frequency with which each shift key is used tend to be equal.
S120: and clicking a gear key to which the specific character belongs.
After the specific character information needing to be input is determined, the gear key to which the specific character belongs is clicked, and all characters on the gear key are displayed on a terminal screen.
Any input character is illustrated by way of example as a keyboard as shown in fig. 1. The number on the gear button represents the gear to which the gear button belongs; and when the user clicks the gear button where the number is located, the gear of the character set on the gear is put into gear. For example, the 1 st gear button corresponds to 1 ABC.
When the 1-gear button is clicked to engage a gear, a character set similar to that shown in fig. 2 is displayed on the terminal screen. When the 3 rd gear button is clicked to engage in a gear, a character set similar to that shown in fig. 3 is displayed on the terminal screen.
S130: and selecting specific characters displayed on a terminal screen to realize character information input.
When the terminal keypad proposed by the present invention is formed of specific physical keys, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 2,
when A or a needs to be input, only the corresponding key is clicked according to the character distribution schematic diagram of the screen. Obviously, if C or C needs to be input, the 7-gear shift key is clicked, and then the corresponding key is clicked according to the screen character allocation diagram for input.
When the virtual keys form the terminal keyboard provided by the invention, the screen displays the virtual keyboard which is consistent with the lower half part of the figure 1, after a user clicks the gear keys where the characters are located, the screen virtual keys can be changed into the virtual keyboard which is similar to the figure 2 or the figure 3, and the input can be finished only by clicking the characters at the corresponding positions again.
As an embodiment of the present invention, the input method proposed by the present invention includes two operation modes: an edit mode and a non-edit mode.
Specifically, after an edit box of the mobile terminal is started, the input method is in an edit mode, otherwise, the input method is in a non-edit mode.
For example, when in the non-edit mode, the specific character information is the numeric characters 0-9, or #. In this mode, the handset can input the telephone number quickly, and the required character can be input by clicking once when dialing the telephone.
When in the editing mode, according to the specific character information, clicking the gear key D to which the specific character belongs for the first timeiAnd clicking the specific character displayed on the screen of the selection terminal for the second time, and finishing character input by clicking all other characters for two times except the punctuation marks.
Further, when in the editing mode, the input method is defaulted to Chinese input;
if Chinese characters need to be input, the Chinese pinyin corresponding to the Chinese characters or the corresponding stroke character keys are the specific characters needing to be input. The stroke keys are usually displayed by combining with the number keys 1-5, and are respectively horizontal, vertical, left-falling, dot and horizontal folding (not shown in the keyboard of the attached drawing), and the input method of the invention is also applicable.
When the Chinese characters need to be input, if the input letters can form corresponding Chinese pinyin or the input stroke characters can form corresponding Chinese characters, displaying a Chinese character list below the input letters, and selecting the Chinese characters by clicking a direction key to complete Chinese character input;
when English letters need to be input, the input English is output to the screen by clicking the up direction key, and English input is completed.
In addition, in the edit mode, the shift button D to which the specific character belongs is clickediWhen the predetermined time threshold value T is exceeded,the screen displays DiThe corresponding capital letters are used, otherwise, the corresponding capital letters are small-case letters. Therefore, in this embodiment, in a specific input process of the terminal, only upper-case or lower-case letters are displayed on the terminal screen by a long click or a short click, and the situations shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3 do not occur.
Thus, the desired character can be entered by only two clicks. In comparison, the characters required for conventional 12-pad input require more clicks. This is because there are many combinations, and the user is required to press the direction key to select the content to be input.

The input method or the terminal disclosed by the invention has one or more of the following advantages:
the character information can be input efficiently and quickly; the key area is large, the input information is comfortable, and the user experience is better; click distribution is balanced when information is input, premature aging and damage of a certain key or part are avoided, and the service life of the equipment is prolonged; under the editing state of the mixed text with characters and numbers, the input can be directly input without switching the input mode, the switching process of the input method is omitted, and the input efficiency is improved.
Different keyboard structures have slightly different hardware implementations. In the case of the rectangular keyboard in the example, 5 independent keys in the upper, lower, left and right sides are closely arranged, although the layout is compact, the accuracy and the hand feeling of a user when pressing the keys are not influenced, the utilization rate of the area of the keyboard is improved, and therefore the rectangular keyboard as a whole can be made larger. On the internal circuitry, the key is the same as a traditional keypad phone.
For touch screen handsets, a virtual key is displayed on the screen, as shown in fig. 4 and 5. After the user finishes the operation of putting into the gear, the virtual keys on the screen change according to the new character distribution, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the user clicks the position of the corresponding character to realize input, or presses the right soft key to cancel the gear, and the screen restores the original keyboard state of the clip key, as shown in fig. 4 and 5.
In terms of software design, a schematic diagram of the structure is shown in fig. 14. The lowest is the hardware layer and the upper 3 layers are the software layers.
The key driving module is responsible for driving hardware, sensing user input and generating hardware key events, and the data structure of the key driving module comprises: a key identifier, a key state, such as pressed, pressed for a long time, lifted; the generated hardware key event is sent to the key event analysis layer. For a keyboard mobile phone, an object driven by a key driving module is a physical key, and a corresponding event is generated by sensing the state of the key through the connection and disconnection of a key circuit; for the touch screen mobile phone, an object driven by the key driving module is a touch screen, the pressing and pressing positions of a user are sensed by sensing the voltage change of a circuit of the touch screen, and a virtual key which is pressed is obtained through the positions to generate a corresponding event.
And the key event analysis layer receives the event sent by the key driving layer and generates a key input event according to the input mode and the current state of the system. The structure of the event includes: event type, e.g. gear, input, key identification, key status. The generated event is sent to the application. The system input mode is divided into an editing mode and a non-editing mode; the states of the system are divided into a neutral state and a geared state. For the keyboard mobile phone, when the user puts into gear, the event analysis layer displays the distribution diagram of the corresponding gear characters on the square-shaped key on the screen when the user presses the key, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, after the user finishes inputting or presses the right soft key to cancel the gear, the distribution diagram is blanked by the key analysis layer; for the touch screen mobile phone, the key event analysis layer changes the shape key into the shape key shown in fig. 6 and 7, waits for the user to input, and after the user input is finished, the key event analysis layer returns to the initial state of the shape key, as shown in fig. 4 and 5.
And after receiving the input key event, the application software layer performs corresponding processing.
In summary, the keyboard and the input method disclosed above or the terminal including the keyboard and the input method of the present invention all have one or more of the following advantages:
(1) increase of effective area of key
The traditional mobile phone keyboard has the advantages that the number keys and the star and # keys are independent from each other, and intervals are needed between the number keys and the star and # keys, so that the area of the keyboard is wasted, the area utilization rate is low, the area of each key is forced to be small, the keys are densely arranged in a keyboard area, and the pressing accuracy of large fingers is low.
For convenience of illustration, the layout of the circular key of the embodiment of the present invention is taken as an example for comparison. The layout is compact, the area utilization rate is improved, the area of each key can be increased, and the pressing accuracy of the big finger is improved.
Taking the example of the love T715, the key area of the square-shaped key is compared with the key area of the traditional mobile phone.
FIG. 15 shows a traditional mobile phone keypad of Soire T715 with width AB of 46mm, height AD of 29mm, keypad area of 1334mm2The upper and lower margins AF are 3mm, the left and right margins AE are 5mm, the width of each single key is 10mm, the height is 5mm, and the area of each single key is 50mm2The total area is 50 multiplied by 12-600 mm2The area usage rate is 600/1334-45%.
FIG. 16 is a first type of a square-shaped key which is identical in the upper and lower margins and the left and right margins with the entire keyboard area in the keyboard area to those in FIG. 13, i.e., AE is 5mm and AF is 3 mm. The width of the outer rectangle of one clip key is 16.5mm, the height is 23mm, the width of the inner rectangle is 6.5mm, the height is 13mm, the distance between the upper part and the lower part of the inner rectangle and the left part and the right part of the inner rectangle is 5mm, and the distance between the two clip keys is 3 mm. The area of the upper key and the lower key of the single square-shaped key is 16.5 multiplied by 5-82.5 mm2The area of the left key and the right key is 23 × 5 ═ 115mm2The area of the middle bond is 6.5 multiplied by 13-84.5 mm2. The area of a single key in FIG. 13 is 50mm2Thus, it can be seen that the area of a single key is increased. The total key area is 16.5 × 23 × 2 ═ 759mm2The area usage is 759/1334-57%. The area usage rate of the keypad area is increased. It is to be noted that such a key-up-down and left-right keys have an overlap at the corners of 4, as shown by the dashed rectangles at the corners of the left-hand key-up 4 in fig. 14, when the user presses these areas, if he presses up or down, he triggers the up or down key; if he presses left or right, he activates the left or right key. Since the overlap regions at the 4 corners are valid for each key sharing them, their areas are counted in the area of each key sharing them, but the total area of the keys is calculated based on the area of the outer rectangle.
FIG. 17 is a second type of key design, which is separated from the top and bottom edges of the entire keyboard area in the keyboard areaAnd the left and right margins are in agreement with those in FIG. 13, i.e., AE is 5mm and AF is 3 mm. The width GH of a single square-shaped bond is 16mm, the height HI is 23mm, and K, L, M and N are respectively the middle points of the edges of the outer rectangle. KO and MQ are each 3.5mm, NR and PL are each 4mm, and the spacing between the two bonds is 4 mm. The areas of the left upper key, the right lower key and the left lower key are respectively 76mm2The area of the middle key is 64mm2In FIG. 13, the area of each key is 50mm2And thus the area of a single key is increased. All the key areas are (76 × 4+64) × 2 ═ 736mm2The area usage rate is 736/1334-55%. The area usage rate is also increased.
(2) Input method-free switching
In the new input process, the switching of the input method is not needed. The user can directly input the desired content without pressing a special key to switch the input content, thereby improving the user experience.
(3) The use frequency of each key tends to be uniform, and over concentration is avoided
Because the characters are evenly distributed on each key of the square-shaped key, and each key corresponds to one character after the gear is put into gear, the use frequency of the keys tends to be uniform, and the premature damage of the keys caused by over-centralized use of a certain key is avoided.
(4) Improving input efficiency
In the non-editing mode, the input efficiency is the same as other input methods or terminals.
In the editing mode, the user needs to put into gear when inputting the content, only needs to press two keys when inputting the common characters, and does not need to switch the input method. The scheme disclosed by the invention has particularly obvious advantages when the input content is changed more. For example, Chinese, English and numeric input are frequently switched, the input content is combined more on the traditional keyboard mobile phone, and the existing scheme can cause the key click to be greatly increased; the scheme provided by the invention can efficiently realize information input without being influenced.
