Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, embodiment of the present invention is described further in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing." electronic equipment " hereinafter said can include but not limited to: smart mobile phone, panel computer, digital camera, multimedia television and electronic reader etc." one or more " that hereinafter say refer to one, two or more.
Embodiment one
See also shown in Figure 1ly, it shows the method flow diagram of candidate's word select selection method that the embodiment of the invention one provides.This candidate's word select selection method can be applied in the electronic equipment.This candidate's word select selection method can comprise:
Step 101 receives input character;
In a lot of application in the electronic equipment, such as the search box of search engine, chat tool etc., need the user to import relevant character.The user can import needed character in the input frame in these application provide.These characters can be by the form input of phonetic or stroke when input, corresponding, along with user's input, can show an input prompt zone, one or more monocases of explicit user input in this input prompt zone are such as " mi " or " changjiu " etc.One or more monocases in the corresponding input prompt zone usually can corresponding a plurality of candidate's words, and these candidate's words normally arrange in the database of input method again.When the user imports one or more monocase, can be according to these monocases from this data base querying to the candidate word corresponding with these monocases.
For convenience of description, the one or more monocases with user's input are defined as input character here, and these characters may be displayed in the input prompt zone.Usually, the user can select the relevant input character of keyboard input according to the character that is presented on the electronic curtain.
Because candidate's word of different input characters may be different, therefore, in the process that receives input character, the candidate word corresponding with input character may change along with the monocase of input.That is to say that along with user's input, respective change can take place candidate's word.
Step 102 after receiving input character, shows the selection zone include corresponding with input character one or more candidate's words of arranging according to predetermined curve;
Usually, select the zone be positioned at the input prompt zone near, perhaps be positioned at character select keyboard near.
It is optional to select the selection attribute of candidate's word in the zone to be, and that is to say that candidate's word is in optional state in the chosen area.Like this, the user can select candidate's word of needs in selecting the zone.
In order to dwindle the distance between candidate's word, so that the user points the selection to candidate's word, the predetermined curve here can be set to circular curve or arc curve usually.Obviously, the predetermined curve here can also be other shape, and such as rectangle, polygon etc., as long as predetermined curve can satisfy the distance that can effectively dwindle between candidate's word, the selection of being convenient to candidate's word gets final product.
In actual applications, after electronic equipment is receiving input character, can in predetermined prompting zone, show a selection zone that includes one or more candidate's words, and common the returning of these candidate's words arranged according to above-mentioned predetermined curve.
Need illustrate that the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve can preestablish, such as can show 8 candidate's words at most on predetermined curve, or 9 candidate's words, perhaps candidate's word of other numbers is common, and these candidate's words evenly distribute on predetermined curve.Obviously, if the number of candidate's word is less than the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve, when showing, these candidate's words can be evenly distributed on the predetermined curve.
By way of example, the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve is 8, and only has 5 according to candidate's word that input character obtains, and these 5 candidate's words can be evenly distributed on the predetermined curve so.
The number of candidate's word can at this moment, can be provided be used to the button of one page candidate word under pulling and the button that can pull page up candidate word near the selection zone more than the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve yet under many circumstances.Obviously, at the current page, when not having candidate's word of page up, when namely the current page was first page, corresponding being used for pulled the button of page up for not optional; When not having candidate's word of following one page, when namely the current page be last page, corresponding to pulling down the button of one page for not optional.
Step 103 is selecting the zone to receive the selection signal;
In actual applications, the user can directly click the designate candidate word of selecting on the zone, corresponding, electronic equipment can produce at the designate candidate word and select signal.
Step 104 after receiving the selection signal, is obtained the designate candidate word corresponding with selecting signal.
In sum, candidate's word select selection method that the embodiment of the invention provides, by receiving input character, show the selection zone include corresponding with input character one or more candidate's words of arranging according to predetermined curve, selecting the zone to receive the selection signal, obtain the designate candidate word corresponding with selecting signal; Because candidate's word is arranged according to predetermined curve, can effectively reduce the distance between candidate's word, therefore the user is when selecting candidate's word by touch screen, mobile scope is less, solved when selecting candidate's word, the lower problem of efficient that moving range is big, select candidate's word has reached the effect that improves the efficient when candidate's word select selected.
It should be noted that in actual applications because electronic equipment screen big or small limited, above-mentioned selection zone may not be on the white space of screen, perhaps electronic equipment may not can independently hews out a zone to be used for showing that this selection is regional.At this moment, select on the regional other guide that covers possibly on the screen, for fear of maloperation, when demonstrating the selection zone, can be arranged to the highest to the priority that demonstrates the operation of selecting the zone.Like this, demonstrate when selecting the zone influence that will do not operated of Bei Fugai content below in operation.
Embodiment two
See also shown in Figure 2ly, it shows the method flow diagram of candidate's word select selection method that the embodiment of the invention two provides.This candidate's word select selection method can be applied in the electronic equipment.This candidate's word select selection method can comprise:
Step 201 receives input character;
In a lot of application in the electronic equipment, such as the search box of search engine, chat tool etc., need the user to import relevant character.The user can import needed character in the input frame in these application provide.These characters can be by the form input of phonetic or stroke when input, corresponding, along with user's input, can show an input prompt zone, one or more monocases of explicit user input in this input prompt zone are such as " mi " or " changjiu " etc.
By way of example, see also shown in Fig. 3 A, it shows the synoptic diagram of a kind of inputting interface among the part embodiment of the present invention.The user can import relevant character in input frame 31, when input character in input frame 31, can show an input prompt zone 32 on the screen of electronic equipment usually, so that the user confirms whether the monocase of importing is correct.That is to say that input prompt zone 32 is used for the input character of explicit user input.The input character of user input be " mi " among Fig. 3 A, and the input character that shows in the corresponding input prompt zone 32 be " mi ", and " secret " of demonstration is that the user has selected the character imported in the input frame 31.
One or more monocases in the corresponding input prompt zone 32 usually can corresponding a plurality of candidate's words, and these candidate's words normally arrange in the database of input method again.When the user imports one or more monocase, can be according to these monocases from this data base querying to the candidate word corresponding with these monocases.
For convenience of description, the one or more monocases with user's input are defined as input character here, and these characters may be displayed in the input prompt zone 32.Usually, the user can select the relevant input character of keyboard 33 inputs according to the character that is presented on the electronic curtain.
Because candidate's word of different input characters may be different, therefore, in the process that receives input character, the candidate word corresponding with input character may change along with the monocase of input.That is to say that along with user's input, respective change may take place candidate's word.
Step 202 after receiving input character, shows the prompting zone include corresponding with input character one or more candidate's words of arranging according to predetermined curve, and the selection attribute of the candidate's word in the prompting zone is not for optional;
In order to show candidate's word of predetermined number in less zone, the predetermined curve here can be set to circular curve or arc curve usually.Obviously, the predetermined curve here can also be other shape, and such as rectangle, polygon etc., as long as predetermined curve can satisfy the distance that can effectively dwindle between candidate's word, the selection of being convenient to candidate's word gets final product.
Here it is optional to point out the selection attribute of candidate's word of zone in 34 all to be set to, that is to say, when the user click or touch screen prompting zone 34 on candidate's word the time, this candidate's word can not be selected.The candidate's word that shows in the prompting zone 34 only is used for showing to the user candidate's word of current page, for fear of misoperation of users, therefore will point out the selection attribute of the candidate's word in the zone 34 all to be set to not optional.
In actual applications, still referring to shown in Fig. 3 A, after electronic equipment is receiving input character, can in predetermined prompting zone, show a prompting zone 34 that includes one or more candidate's words, and these candidate's words are arranged in the prompting zone 34 according to above-mentioned predetermined curve.Usually also include a floating menu 341 in this prompting zone 34.More excellent, candidate's word according to predetermined curve be arranged in this floating menu 341 around.When practical operation, this floating menu 341 is normally manipulable, and because the selection attribute of the candidate's word in the prompting zone 34 for not optional, therefore points out the candidate's word in the zone 34 to operate.
Need explanation, the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve can preestablish, such as on predetermined curve, can showing 8 candidate's words at most, or 9 candidate's words, or candidate's word of other numbers.These candidate's words evenly distribute on predetermined curve.Obviously, if the number of candidate's word is less than the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve, when showing, these candidate's words can be evenly distributed on the predetermined curve.
By way of example, if the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve is 8, and only there are 5 according to candidate's word that input character obtains, these 5 candidate's words can be evenly distributed on the predetermined curve so.
Yet under many circumstances, the number of candidate's word can be more than the number of candidate's word of setting on the predetermined curve, at this moment, near prompting zone 34, can be provided be used to the button 351 of one page candidate word under pulling and the button 352 that can pull page up candidate word.Obviously, at the current page, when not having candidate's word of page up, when namely the current page was first page, corresponding being used for pulled the button 352 of page up for not optional; When not having candidate's word of following one page, when namely the current page be last page, corresponding to pulling down the button 351 of one page for not optional.The user by button 351 and button 352 can the handoff candidate word the page to find the page at required candidate's word place.
Obviously, except the button 351 by pulling down one page and the mode that pulls the button 352 of page up pull after unnecessary candidate's word, the user can also slide to pull unnecessary candidate's word according to projected path on prompting zone 34.Such as, the user can slide to pull candidate's word of following one page according to track from right to left on this prompting zone 34; For another example, the user can slide to pull candidate's word of page up according to track from left to right on this prompting zone 34; Also can on this prompting zone 34, slide to pull candidate's word of page up according to track from the top down such as, user; Also can on this prompting zone 34, slide to pull candidate's word of following one page according to track from bottom to top such as the user.In general, when pulling unnecessary candidate's word by sliding trace, it is opposite usually with the direction of the sliding trace of the candidate's word use that pulls page up to pull down the sliding trace that candidate's word of one page uses.
Step 203 receives trigger pip in the prompting zone;
See also shown in Fig. 3 B, it shows among the part embodiment of the present invention from pointing out the zone to be changed to the synoptic diagram of selecting the zone.In practical operation, the user can trigger the floating menu 341 of pointing out in the zone 34 by the selection of the button on the electronic equipment or by touch screen, and these corresponding floating menu 341 places can produce a trigger pip.
By way of example, the floating menu 341 in the prompting zone 34 can also be set to not optionally, after the arbitrary zone on the whole prompting zone 34 is triggered, all can produce trigger pip.Again by way of example, can also not be provided with floating menu 341 in the prompting zone 34, that is to say, prompting zone 34 only is made up of not optional candidate's word, all produces trigger pip after the arbitrary zone in this prompting zone 34 is triggered.
Step 204 after receiving trigger pip, shows the selection zone include corresponding with input character these one or more candidate's words of arranging according to predetermined curve;
Still referring to shown in Fig. 3 B, after prompting zone 34 receives trigger pip, at first, the candidate's word in the prompting zone 34 can be amplified, and point out the selection attribute of the candidate's word in the zone to be set to optional; Then, be that optional candidate's word is arranged the zone of formation as selecting zone 36 according to predetermined curve with the selection attribute after amplifying.Thus also as can be known, select the number of candidate's word in the zone 36 identical with the number of candidate's word in the prompting zone 34, the selection attribute of the candidate's word before not amplifying in the prompting zone 34 is not for optional, and the selection attribute of the candidate's word after 34 amplifications is optional in the prompting zone, and it is optional also namely selecting the selection attribute of the candidate's word in the zone 36.
In other words, after prompting zone 34 received trigger pip, all candidate's words that prompting zone 34 shows were set to optional state, so that the user selects these candidate's words, and these candidate's words were amplified, the error in the time of can reducing the user and select candidate's word; Because these candidate's words only are to amplify, do not change the general layout of arranging, therefore the direction that is positioned at the regional character of seeing 34 time to be selected of prompting as the user is still constant after amplification, also is convenient to the user and is selecting to select corresponding characters in regional 36 according to this direction.
Step 205 is selecting the zone to receive the selection signal;
When specific implementation, select the generation of signal can comprise following two kinds of situations:
First kind of situation selecting the zone to receive the selection signal that slides into the generation of designate candidate word from the position that trigger pip produces;
That is to say, can be by triggering floating menu 341 in the prompting zone 34 producing trigger pip, corresponding, candidate's word in the prompting zone 34 amplifies and becomes optional, formed accordingly and selected zone 36, in this process, user's finger does not need to leave floating menu 341 all the time; The user directly slides into from this floating menu 341 and selects needed candidate's word location on the zone 36 then, selects signal according to user's corresponding generation of this action meeting, and this selects signal corresponding with this candidate's word.
By way of example, see also shown in Fig. 3 C, it shows and produces the synoptic diagram of selecting signal among the part embodiment of the present invention.At first, the user triggers floating menu 341 in the prompting zone, corresponding generation trigger pip, candidate's word that show this moment amplifies and the selection attribute of these candidate's words all becomes optional, then, the user directly slides into candidate's word " close " of appointment to produce the selection signal at floating menu 341 places that touch the generation trigger pip.
Second kind of situation selecting the designate candidate word on the zone to receive the selection signal that triggers the generation of designate candidate word.
That is to say, after the user triggers prompting zone 34, demonstrate and select zone 36, the user is directly selecting zone 36 to trigger candidate's word of appointment then, this action according to the user can correspondingly produce the selection signal, and this selects signal corresponding with candidate's word of this appointment.
By way of example, see also shown in Fig. 3 D, it shows and produces the synoptic diagram of selecting signal among the part embodiment of the present invention.The user is at candidate's word " close " of selecting directly to click on the zone 36 appointment, and correspondence according to user's triggering for generating selection signal.
Step 206 after receiving the selection signal, is obtained the designate candidate word corresponding with selecting signal.
Such as, in Fig. 3 C, when the designate candidate word of selecting was " close ", the content in the input frame then was updated to " secret " from original " secret ".
In sum, candidate's word select selection method that the embodiment of the invention provides, by receiving input character, show the prompting zone include corresponding with input character one or more candidate's words of arranging according to predetermined curve, receive trigger pip in the prompting zone, show and select the zone, and select the zone to receive at this and select signal, obtain the designate candidate word corresponding with selecting signal; Because candidate's word is arranged according to predetermined curve, can effectively reduce the distance between candidate's word, therefore the user is when selecting candidate's word by touch screen, mobile scope is less, solved when selecting candidate's word, the lower problem of efficient that moving range is big, select candidate's word has reached the effect that improves the efficient when candidate's word select selected.
It should be noted that, in actual applications because electronic equipment screen big or small limited, above-mentioned prompting zone 34 or selection zone 36 may not be on the white space of screen, and perhaps electronic equipment may not can independently hews out a zone to be used for showing this prompting zone 34 or selection zone 36.At this moment, on prompting zone 34 or selection zone 36 other guides that cover possibly on the screen, for fear of maloperation, when demonstrate prompting zone 34 or select regional 36 the time, to demonstrating prompting zone 34 or selecting the priority of the operation in zone 36 can be arranged to the highest.Like this, demonstrate prompting zone 34 or select at regional 36 o'clock in operation, the influence that will do not operated of Bei Fugai content below.
