The first embodiment of the present invention is as shown in figure 1, it illustrates a portable apparatus 1.As shown in figure 1, portable dress It can be a mobile phone to put 1, and it includes a Touch Screen 11 and a processor 13 coupled with Touch Screen 11.In other implementations In example, portable apparatus 1 also can be a notebook computer, a tablet personal computer, a personal digital assistant(personal digital assistant;PDA)Deng.Optionally, in other embodiments, portable apparatus 1 can also be coupled comprising one with processor 13 Memory module is for storing data.
For example, Touch Screen 11 can be compound tactile for a capacitance touch control screen, a resistance touch screen, a capacitance-resistance Control screen(resistive-capacitive composite touch screen), an electromagnetic induction Touch Screen etc..As schemed Shown in 2, Touch Screen 11 is to show an Input Method Editor for including multiple virtual keys 2(input method editor;IME)111, and these virtual keys 2 can be comprising multiple character keys 20 and multiple function buttons 22 and with not Other generic buttons.Note, the profile of Input Method Editor 111 and the configuration of virtual key 2 are only to explain this The purpose of invention, and it is not used to the limitation present invention.
As shown in Figure 3A, respectively the virtual key 2 all has the key hit area 4 of its own, and key hit area 4 is covered Corresponding to a specific rectangular area of its profile.In other embodiments, respectively the key hit area 4 of the virtual key 2 also may be used A particular circle region is covered, the border circular areas is centrally located at the center of corresponding virtual key 2.Alternatively Select, respectively the key hit area 4 of the virtual key 2 can also cover one corresponding to other shapes(For example hexagon, octagon, Polygon etc.)Region.
Hereinafter, how explanation portable apparatus 1 is detected into an incoming event triggered via Input Method Editor 111 12 and the key hit area 4 of virtual key 2 is adjusted in response to incoming event 12.In this embodiment, incoming event 12 is Refer to a user to be intended to input a word via Input Method Editor 111 shown on Touch Screen 11.Therefore, processor 13 will The key hit area 4 for inputting and adjusting virtual key 2 accordingly to detect word.
First, processor 13 is to judge whether formed a list via at least one character that character keys 20 are inputted Word.Specifically, processor 13 can detect the current character inputted via character keys 20 and judge the current character and its elder generation Whether the combination of preceding character has formed a word.If at least one character not yet forms a word, under the processor judges One input is still that a character input rather than a function are inputted.Therefore, as shown in Figure 3 B, processor 13 enlarged character button 20 is pressed Key clicks on scope 4 and the key hit area 4 of reduction capability button 22, so that user can more easily enter the next of the word Character.
Otherwise, as shown in Figure 3 C, if at least one character has formed a word, processor 13 can enlarging function button 22 key hit area 4 and the key hit area 4 of character down button 20.However, a complete word may be by more Constituted in a word or by a word and other characters.For example, complete word " keyboard " is by word " key " and word " board " are constituted, and another complete word " viewer " is by word " view " and character " e " and " r " Constitute.
Therefore, when at least one character has formed a word, processor 13 can adjust the button point of virtual key 2 Hit before scope 4, whether complete prejudge the word.In other words, processor 13 judge the word for complete word it Afterwards, by the key hit area 4 of enlarging function button 22 and the key hit area 4 of character down button 20.Whereby, it can avoid Next input may be a character, but function button 22 key hit area 4 be exaggerated and character keys 20 button point Scope 4 is hit to be reduced.
Processor 13 can include a candidate word engine(It is not shown)To produce candidate word information, and then strengthen input just Profit.Specifically, processor 13 can predict next character according to the character inputted and provide candidate to user accordingly Word information.Based on the candidate word information, processor 13 can determine whether whether the word is complete.Note, processor 13 can also be borrowed Judge whether the word is complete by those who familiarize themselves with the technology known other method, it is described herein to be not intended to limit the present invention's Aspect can be implemented.
If processor 13 judges that the word is imperfect, infer next input and should be a character input rather than a function number Enter.As described above, processor 13 can more predict the prediction character after the word according to the candidate word information.Then, handle It is therein any that device 13 more judges whether correspondence to the character keys 20 of the prediction character are disposed adjacent to function button 22 Person.
If it is therein any that correspondence to the character keys 20 of the prediction character are not disposed adjacent to function button 22 The key hit area 4 of person, the then key hit area 4 of the enlarged character button 20 of processor 13 and reduction capability button 22, such as Shown in Fig. 3 B.Otherwise, if correspondence to the character keys 20 of the prediction character are disposed adjacent to therein of function button 22 One, then processor 13 can recover the key hit area 4 of character keys 20 and the key hit area 4 of function button 22, As shown in Figure 3A.
It is below an example, to further illustrate this embodiment.Note, following instance is only the explaination present invention Purpose, and it is not used to the limitation present invention.The example will be based on following condition:One user is intended to defeated via Input Method Editor 111 Enter word " DUCK ".
After the first character " D " inputted via Input Method Editor 111 is detected, processor 13 judges the first character " D " not yet form a word, therefore the key hit area 4 and reduction capability button 22 of the enlarged character button 20 of processor 13 Key hit area 4, as shown in Figure 3 B.
Then, after the second character " U " and the 3rd character " C " is detected, processor 13 judge character combination " DU " and " DUC " the two all not yet forms a word, therefore the key hit area 4 of the still enlarged character button 20 of processor 13 and reduces work( The key hit area 4 of energy button 22, as shown in Figure 3 B.Then, after the 4th character " K " is detected, processor 13 judges word Symbol combination " DUCK " has formed a word(That is, word " DUCK "), then processor 13 can be further according to candidate word information Judge whether the word is complete.
If it is determined that word " DUCK " is complete, then the key hit area 4 of the enlarging function button 22 of processor 13 and contract The key hit area 4 of small characters button 20, as shown in Figure 3 C.If it is determined that word " DUCK " is incomplete, then processor 13 Determine whether whether correspondence to the character keys 20 of the prediction character after the word are disposed adjacent to function button 22 It is therein any one.
For example, it is word that candidate word information, which infers the whole-word inputted via Input Method Editor 111, “DUCKBILL”.It is processed as device 13 and judges the prediction character after word " DUCK " as " B ", and subsequently determines that correspondence to pre- glyphomancy The character keys 20 of symbol " B " are adjacent to two of function button 22 at least within(That is, function button " space(space)" and function Button " circle(circle)”).Then, processor 13 recovers the key hit area 4 and function button 22 of character keys 20 Key hit area 4, as shown in Figure 3A.
Furthermore, if the whole-word that candidate word implied information is inputted via Input Method Editor 111 is word " DUCKER ". Processor 13 judges the prediction character after word " DUCK " as " E ", and further judges that correspondence to the character of prediction character " E " is pressed Key 20 be not adjacent to function button 22 it is therein any one.Therefore, the button of the still enlarged character button 20 of processor 13 is clicked on The key hit area 4 of scope 4 and reduction capability button 22, as shown in Figure 3 B.
The layout of profile and virtual key 2 based on Input Method Editor 111, the prediction character after one word of judgement For one of character " A ", " Z ", " X ", " C ", " V ", " B ", " N ", " M " and " L ", processor 13 just recovers character keys 20 Key hit area 4 and the key hit area of function button 22 4, as shown in Figure 3A.Otherwise, the enlarged character of processor 13 is pressed The key hit area 4 of key 20 and the key hit area 4 of reduction capability button 22, as shown in Figure 3 B.
The second embodiment of the present invention can be considered the portable apparatus 1 described in first embodiment.Accordingly, for The identical person of element of one embodiment, will use identical Ref. No..For the explanation omitted, previous embodiment is referred to, Therefore no longer repeated herein.
Hereinafter, the difference between first embodiment and second embodiment will be illustrated.In a second embodiment, incoming event 12 is Refer to a user and input some correct contents via Input Method Editor 111 shown on Touch Screen 11.Processor 13 is used To detect the touch position corresponding to these correct contents and adjust the key hit area 4 of virtual key 2 accordingly.
In fact, when one of user virtual key 2 to be touched is to be inputted, corresponding to each virtual These touched positions of button 2 are simultaneously not always identical.On the contrary, the button that these touch positions are distributed in virtual key 2 is clicked on In scope 4.Therefore, processor 13 is to detect and collect the position of all touchings in the key hit area 4 of virtual key 2 Put.
Specifically, whenever processor 13 detects the touching position being located in the respectively key hit area 4 of the virtual key 2 When putting, a two-dimensional coordinate of recordable the detected touch position of processor 13(x,y).The coordinate of touch position can be stored in one The memory module coupled with processor 13(It is not shown)In.Whereby, processor 13 can be obtained respectively in response to incoming event 12 All touch positions being touched on the virtual key 2.Then, processor 13 calculated according to touch position 6 respectively this virtually press One touching deviation of key 2.Then, processor 13 adjusts the button point of the respectively virtual key 2 according to corresponding touching deviation Hit scope 4.
Further illustrate character keys " Q " and " W " adjustment to be used as an example hereinafter with reference to Fig. 4.It is assumed that each void The key hit area 4 for intending button 2 covers a particular circle region, and the border circular areas is centrally located at corresponding virtual key 2 center.Note, this example is only the explaination purpose of the present invention, and is not used to the limitation present invention.
If as shown in figure 4, user touched in character keys " Q " and " W " key hit area 4 it is multiple touch Position 6 is touched, and processor 13 has detected and has recorded these touch positions 6.Processor 13 can be respectively according to corresponding touching position Put 6 and calculate the respectively character keys " Q " and a touching deviation of " W ".Processor 13 can be by calculating character button " Q " and " W " Touch position 6 various statistics(Such as average value, parameter)And calculate these touching deviations.
In other embodiments, calculate touch position 6 statistics after, can more give up in touch position 6 have compared with A part of touch position of large deviation more accurately touches deviation to obtain one.Note, character keys shown in Fig. 4 " Q " and The number of the touch position 6 of " W " is only the explaination purpose of the present invention, and is not used to the limitation present invention.
In view of the distribution of the touch position 6 in the key hit area 4 of character keys " Q ", processor 13 can determine that When user is intended to input character " Q " via Input Method Editor 111, the button that he can always touch character keys " Q " is clicked on Somewhere near the right side of scope 4.Therefore, processor 13 by the key hit area 4 of character keys " Q " towards character keys The right side of the key hit area 4 of " Q " is dynamically adjusted, as shown in Figure 4.
On the other hand, in view of the distribution of the touch position 6 in the key hit area 4 of character keys " W ", processor 13 can determine that he can always touch character keys " W " when user is intended to input character " W " via Input Method Editor 111 Somewhere near the downside of key hit area 4.Therefore, processor 13 by the key hit area 4 of character keys " W " towards word Accord with the downside of the key hit area 4 of button " W " and dynamically adjust, as shown in Figure 4.
Note, in other embodiments of the invention, can be by all operations and first described in second embodiment All behaviour described in embodiment combine and depending on being integral.Art tool usually intellectual can be based on these implementations The explanation of example and be directly acquainted with portable apparatus 1 while performing these methods operated, therefore no longer repeated herein.
The 3rd embodiment of the present invention is portable apparatus 1 as described in the first embodiment.Accordingly, for first The identical person of element of embodiment, will use identical Ref. No..For the explanation omitted, previous embodiment is referred to, therefore No longer repeated herein.
Hereinafter, the difference between first embodiment and 3rd embodiment will be illustrated.In the third embodiment, incoming event 12 is Represent that the input that a user produces mistake via Input Method Editor 111 shown on Touch Screen 11 is touched.Therefore, locate Reason device 13 touches and adjusted accordingly the key hit area 4 of virtual key 2 to detect and analyze the mistake.
In practice, when one of user virtual key 2 to be touched is to be inputted, he may touch not To correct virtual key 2.On the contrary, he may touch another virtual key 2 for being adjacent to the correct virtual key 2. Therefore, processor 13 touches and adjusted accordingly the key hit area 4 of virtual key 2 to detect and analyze the mistake.
Hereinafter, two kinds of different applications will be illustrated to be used as example.In first applies, processor 13 is in response to incoming event 12 and obtain via Input Method Editor 111 input a word.Then, the corresponding reference to the word of the prediction of processor 13 Word.Processor 13 can predict this and refer to word according to candidate word information.Then, processor 13 compares the word and the reference Word is to judge on identical character position, and whether one first character of the word is different from one second word for referring to word Symbol.
If on identical character position, the character of the word is different from second character for referring to word, then processor 13 are more different from second character in response to first character and judge whether correspondence to the virtual key 2 of first character is set Corresponded into being adjacent to the virtual key 2 of second character.If correspondence to the virtual key 2 of first character is disposed adjacent to In the virtual key 2 of correspondence to second character, then infer user's actually mistake and input first character.Conversely, the list First character of word be only rather than this refer to word the second character, and non-user mistake input an error character.
Once judge first character as mistake and correspondingly the virtual key 2 to first character is disposed adjacent to The corresponding virtual key 2 to second character, processor 13 will be set in response to the virtual key 2 of correspondence to first character Into be adjacent to correspondence to the virtual key 2 of second character and adjust correspondence to first character and second character it is virtual by The key hit area 4 of key 2.
For example, a user is intended to via the input word of Input Method Editor 111 " TEACHER ", but he have input mistake Word " TEACHRR " by mistake.This example is further illustrated hereinafter with reference to Fig. 5.As shown in figure 5, each button of the virtual key 2 Click on scope 4 and cover a particular circle region, the border circular areas is centrally located at the center of corresponding virtual key 2.Palpus The person of attention, this example is only the explaination purpose of the present invention, and is not used to the limitation present invention.
After the word " TEACHRR " of mistake is detected, processor 13 predicts word according to candidate word information " TEACHER ", to refer to word as correspondence to the one of incorrect word " TEACHRR ".Then, processor 13 compares incorrect word " TEACHRR " and reference word " TEACHER ", and the decision error word " TEACHRR " of processor 13 is with referring to word " TEACHER " has a different character on penultimate character position.In other words, the incorrect word(That is, “TEACHRR”)Penultimate character " R " refer to word different from this(That is, " TEACHER ")Penultimate character “E”。
Compare incorrect word " TEACHRR " with reference to word " TEACHER " after, processor 13 more judges correspondingly to this One character(That is, the penultimate character " R " of incorrect word " TEACHRR ")Virtual key 2 be disposed adjacent to correspondence To second character(That is, with reference to the penultimate character " E " of word " TEACHER ")Virtual key 2.Therefore, processor 13 judge the penultimate character " R " of user's mistake input error word " TEACHRR ", and correct character should be character “E”.This, which will infer user, may touch the button click model positioned at character keys " R " at character keys to be touched " E " Enclose the position in 4.
Accordingly, processor 13 can be towards corresponding to the first character(That is, character " R ")The skew of virtual key 2 correspondence to the Two characters(That is, character " E ")Virtual key 2 key hit area 4, and reduce correspondence to the first character(That is, character " R ") Virtual key 2 key hit area 4, as shown in Figure 5.
In second applies, processor 13 obtains one inputted via Input Method Editor 111 in response to incoming event 12 First character.Processor 13 also obtains one in response to incoming event 12 and inputted via Input Method Editor 111 and to replace this Second character of the first character.Then, processor 13 judges whether correspondence to the virtual key 2 of first character is configured to adjacent Correspondence is bordering on to the virtual key 2 of second character.If correspondence to the virtual key 2 of first character is disposed adjacent to pair Should to second character virtual key 2, then the adjustment of processor 13 correspondence virtually pressing to first character and second character The key hit area 4 of key 2.
For example, a user is intended to via the input word of Input Method Editor 111 " TEACHER ", and he have input Character combination " TEACH ".Then, user's mistake input character " R " and as the input after character combination " TEACH ", and with Deletion error character " R " and re-enter correct characters " E " to replace error character " R " afterwards.Also reference picture 5 is illustrated below This example.Note, this example is only the explaination purpose of the present invention, and is not used to the limitation present invention.
In this example, processor 13 is to obtain one first character inputted via Input Method Editor 111(That is, it is wrong Miss character " R "), and then obtain one and inputted via Input Method Editor 111 and to replace the second character of first character (That is, correct characters " E ").After first character and second character is obtained, processor 13 more judges correspondence to first word The virtual key 2 of symbol is disposed adjacent to correspondence to the virtual key 2 of second character.This will infer user and be intended to touch The position in the key hit area 4 of character keys " R " has been touched during character keys " E ".
Accordingly, processor 13 can be towards corresponding to the first character(That is, character " R ")The skew of virtual key 2 correspondence to the Two characters(That is, character " E ")Virtual key 2 key hit area 4, and reduce correspondence to the first character(That is, character " R ") Virtual key 2 key hit area 4, as shown in Figure 5.
Note, in other embodiments of the invention, also can be by all operations described in 3rd embodiment with before State all operative combinations described in embodiment and depending on being integral.Art tool usually intellectual can be based on these The explanation of embodiment and be directly acquainted with portable apparatus 1 while performing the method for these operations, therefore no longer repeated herein.
