Rule 5: click other alphabet keys, the character combination of the sub-keyboard that described button is corresponding is " n, a, i, u, o, e ".
In addition, during Pinyin Input Chinese, when contact marks the visual key area of described sub-keyboard,
Last input is if " a, i, o, e " then replenishes " ng " input;
Last input is if " u " then replenishes " n " input;
Last input is if " n " then replenishes " g " input;
Last input is not if other characters then replenish any character input.
Obviously, the method that the present invention discloses is not limited to the Chinese pinyin input, inputs other language, languages, and based on the context information rationally arranges the keypad of ejection, is a kind of avatar of the present invention.
S120: slide the character of selecting follow-up input at sub-keyboard.
In step S 120, contact does not leave touch-screen, and namely the contact below is the sub-keyboard of ejection, and the state that contact keeps sliding continues to slide input at sub-keyboard.Button on the sub-keyboard can be next possible according to the current context-predictions such as character inputted input character, dynamically update on the sub-keyboard button and corresponding color tips be provided.

S130: contact leaves sub-keyboard, and sub-keyboard disappears, and finishes input information.
In step S130, the user input complete after, only need handle to lift or mark sub-keyboard, then finish the input of corresponding information, sub-keyboard disappears, screen is with character string or the literal output corresponding to character string of user's input.
In order further to set forth the present invention, below in conjunction with concrete input example the present invention is set forth.
As shown in Figure 3, for once inputting the process flow diagram of embodiment:
Female keyboard on user's point touching screen ejects the sub-keyboard of demonstration at correspondence position.Sub-keyboard is dynamically adjusted display module and is dynamically adjusted demonstration character on the button according to contexts such as current input language, semanteme and behavior patterns, but and defines the inside and outside input character of sub-keyboard area.Sub-keyboard prediction identification module can and identify next possible input character according to the context automatic Prediction such as current input state.Contact can not leave touch-screen, and the state that keeps sliding continues to slide input at sub-keyboard.Button on the sub-keyboard can be next possible according to the current context-predictions such as character inputted input character, dynamically update on the sub-keyboard button and corresponding color tips be provided.
Be input as example with Chinese pinyin, the Pop-up of based on the context slides sub-keyboard synoptic diagram for example as shown in Figure 2." context " shows as the primitive rule of pinyin combinations in the present embodiment.The Chinese pinyin input is divided into initial consonant and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable two parts, and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable mainly is comprised of several letters such as " a, e; i, o, u; v; n, g ", for the characteristics of Chinese pinyin, the sub-keyboard that slides of design just is comprised of these several characters, at first click any button on the dummy keyboard when the user inputs Chinese pinyin, then slide sub-keyboard meeting automatic spring, the user need not loose one's grip and can slide continuously input simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable and simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable combination on sub-keyboard; If the user will input " ng " or simple or compound vowel of a Chinese syllable such as " n " finishes input, directly slide into sub-keyboard area and can automatically input outward.
Fig. 4 is the special key input character design diagram that Chinese pinyin slides sub-keyboard.For the context characteristics of Chinese pinyin, " s, z, c, l, n, e, o " classified as special key, all the other keys are general key, according to the context of Pinyin rule the layout that slides sub-keyboard are summarized as following a few rule:
Rule 1: when clicking " s, z, c " button, the character combination of the sub-keyboard that described button is corresponding is " h, a, i, u, o, e ", and wherein " h " key can slip on the sub-keyboard the user and become " n " behind the button arbitrarily;
Rule 2: when clicking " l, n " button, the character combination of the sub-keyboard that described button is corresponding is " v, a, i, u, o, e ", and wherein " v " key can slip on the sub-keyboard the user and become " n " behind the button arbitrarily;
Rule 3: when clicking " e " button, the character combination of the sub-keyboard that described button is corresponding is " n, a, i, u, o, r ";
Rule 4: when clicking " o " button, the character combination of the sub-keyboard that described button is corresponding is " ng, a, i, u, o, e ";
Rule 5: click other alphabet keys, the character combination of the sub-keyboard that described button is corresponding is " n, a, i, u, o, e ".
In addition, during Pinyin Input Chinese, when contact marks the visual key area of described sub-keyboard,
Last input is if " a, i, o, e " then replenishes " ng " input;
Last input is if " u " then replenishes " n " input;
Last input is if " n " then replenishes " g " input;
Last input is not if other characters then replenish any character input.
For example, as shown in Figure 5, be the exemplary plot of the input of the Chinese pinyin as an example of initial consonant K example.As can be seen from the figure, three examples of kang, kai and kao have been inputted respectively.Input only needs during kang: finger is clicked k, and then finger maintains on the screen, eject sub-keyboard after, finger slides to the a(input a), then marks sub-keyboard area (automatically adding ng), finishes the letter input.At this moment, can show on the screen that the Chinese character combination corresponding with phonetic kang is for user selection (not illustrating among the figure).When input kai and kao, finger lifts finger and can finish the letter input after sub-keyboard is finished corresponding sliding.At this moment, can show on the screen that the Chinese character combination corresponding with phonetic kai, kao is for user selection (not illustrating among the figure).
In addition, as shown in Figure 6, be the sub-keyboard colour code of Chinese pinyin exemplary plot.For example, by different colour code input actions, on the sub-keyboard yellow button for slide input carry out in current input key position, blue button is the possible prediction of character late input, color will be inputted dynamic change along with the user, play the effect that prompting user accelerates input.
The said method that the present invention proposes ejects next step button that may input by based on the context and slides for user and select input, and in complete input process once, contact does not need to leave touch-screen, efficiently inputs required character.The technical scheme that adopts the present invention to propose, the user can reduce number of clicks and shorten coasting distance when input, according to the prompting of the sub-keyboard that ejects, the probability of wrong input be can effectively reduce simultaneously, input speed and accuracy that the user operated and improved significantly the user are convenient to.In addition, by distinguishing with color according to type at the sub-keyboard of ejection, wrong input be can reduce under the prompting of button color, user's operation, raising user's input speed and accuracy also can further be convenient to.
