Description

Information input method and device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of terminal application, in particular to a method and a device for inputting information.
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.
For example, a mobile phone is the most familiar mobile terminal, and now becomes an indispensable article in daily life. In order to enable people to use the mobile phone more conveniently, the capacity of a mobile phone address book is larger and larger, more and more contacts are available, and the information of the contacts is more and more complex. The size of the screen is continuously expanding, and the touch function is more sensitive, for example, some mobile phones are 5.5 inches and can support both floating touch and contact touch.
In the process of using the terminal device, the user usually needs to exchange with the terminal device frequently; the function of inputting information to the terminal equipment is necessary for the terminal. However, although the terminal technology is continuously developed and the mobile service is rapidly developed, the development of the terminal technology still has difficulty in meeting the increasing new requirements of people. Taking the terminal input technology as an example, the earlier-appearing terminal keypad is typically a 12-key keypad. The keyboard uses eight number keys 2-9 and letter keys as character input keyboard, and the letter keys are arranged in sequence. Later, computer keyboard-like layouts, i.e., full-alphabet-key-pad phones with "QWERTY" keyboards, have gradually emerged.
In the 12-key keyboard or the full-alphabet keyboard, when a user inputs information, the user usually needs to click or touch one by one and confirm the input, and the input information is too scattered and tedious. In addition, when the input mode is adjusted, it usually takes a long time and a complicated mode to complete.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide an effective information input technology to solve the problems of inconvenience and low efficiency in inputting information by a terminal device.

To achieve the objective of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, it is a flowchart of a method for inputting information according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the method includes steps S110 to S130:
s110: detecting touch operation of a user on an input method area;
s120: when the sliding operation on the input method area is detected, recording keys or characters at the beginning of touch control and keys or characters at the end of touch control on the input method area;
s130: and executing corresponding operation according to the key or/and character combination at the start and the end of touch control.
The following will explain the above steps with reference to specific examples:
s110: and detecting the touch operation of the user on the input method area.
As shown in fig. 2, the schematic diagram of the input method area includes, for example, three parts, input method area 1: writing area, input method area 2: candidate area, input method area 3: a keyboard region. Obviously, the technical solution disclosed in the present invention can be applied to any input area, whether the input area is touch or floating touch. That is, whether the touch operation is the touch operation or the floating touch operation, the touch operation of the user may be detected on the input method area, and the detected touched key or character may be used as the input information in subsequent S120 and S130. Therefore, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, the touch, click, and termination touches are considered to include, but not limited to, the cases of contact touch and hover touch.
S120: when the sliding operation on the input method area is detected, recording a key or a character at the beginning of touch control and a key or a character at the end of touch control on the input method area.
Specifically, in the present invention, the detection of the sliding operation on the input method area includes, but is not limited to, the following ways:
detecting that a key or a character is touched and then sliding until the touch is terminated; or,
and detecting that the key or the character is clicked and dragging the key or the character until the touch is terminated.
It should be understood that the touch-initiated key or/and character refers to a key or/and character corresponding to the first time when the touch can be detected; the touch is terminated, typically relative to a previous touch being detected and a current touch not being detected. In a specific application, the user may lift a finger, a stylus, or other touch object, and generate a touch termination. The lifted area is any effective area of the input method area, or can be dragged or slid to the input method area, then dragged out or slid out of the input method area to generate touch termination, and at this time, the key or/and character corresponding to the last touch position is the key or/and character at the time of touch termination, namely, if the lifted area exceeds the input method area, the lifted area is regarded as the last effective area equivalent to the lifted area to generate touch termination.
In addition, the detection of the sliding operation on the input method area in the present invention generally refers to a process of indicating the start of the detected touch, continuing to detect the touch, and then terminating the touch. The sliding operation may be a contact or non-contact sliding operation or a dragging operation in a specific application. Therefore, if not specifically described, the drag operation and the slide operation have the same meaning in the present invention; some examples will be illustrated hereinafter with a drag operation.
As shown in fig. 3, in order to take an example of clicking on the letter key p and then dragging to the key space bar, the dragging trace is also shown.
When a key or character sliding operation on the input method area is detected, the track of the dragged key or character may not be displayed; when the sliding operation on the input method area is detected, the touch-initiated key or/and character can be displayed along the track of the sliding operation. For example, the state of the finger movement is continuously updated and detected, the trajectory of the swipe is monitored, and the dragged key or/and character is copied and displayed at the latest position.
It should be understood that only the keys or/and characters at the start and end of touch on the input method area need to be recorded to implement the present invention. Obviously, displaying the keys and/or characters along the dragging track facilitates the user to find the currently selected keys and/or characters at any time, which is more beneficial for the user to use.
The clicked area is any effective area of the input method area, and furthermore, the click is not limited to one trigger point, and may be a plurality of trigger points, which will be further described below.
S130: and executing corresponding operation according to the key or/and character combination at the start and the end of touch control.
After step S120 is executed, the combinations of keys and/or characters at the start and end of touch control, for example, the combination is p and space bar as shown in fig. 3. Different combinations correspond to different information inputs. Therefore, the information recorded in step S120 is not related to the order. The drag behavior supports a reverse operation, which means that the first key to press and drag is not in chronological order. For example, dragging the Shift (i.e., case change key) key to the letter key, or dragging the letter key to the Shift key, the effect performed is the same.
It should be understood that the keys and/or combinations of characters referred to in the embodiments of the present application may include a combination of keys and keys, a combination of keys and characters, a combination of characters and characters, a specific combination manner, and an operation corresponding to the combination may be flexibly defined, where a key refers to a key on writing provided by the input method area and a key on the key area, a character may include a candidate word on the candidate area provided by the input method area, or more recently, a character may also include a character that has been input to the edit box, which is not listed here.
Specifically, different combinations of keys and/or characters perform corresponding operations including, but not limited to, any of the following:
executing editing operation of the function corresponding to the combination of the key or/and the character;
inputting character information corresponding to a key or/and a combination of characters;
executing input method switching operation of the function corresponding to the combination of the key or/and the character;
and running an application program corresponding to the key or/and character combination.
Further, according to a combination of a specific function key and a specific letter key, an editing operation of a function corresponding to the specific function key or an input method switching operation of a corresponding function is performed.
Further, the specific letter key may be a key defined for a specific function, or a key where a representative letter is located commonly for the function, and for convenience of memory and understanding, the specific letter key may be a letter included in a name of the corresponding specific function, and the name referred to herein may be a chinese name, an english name, or other types of names.
In combination with the conventional design of the Qwerty full keyboard, according to the technical solution disclosed by the present invention, fast operations, such as but not limited to delete, select all, copy, paste, cut, undo, etc., can be realized. For example, dragging the letter key C to the delete button may implement a function of deleting all contents. Dragging the letter button P may delete the character in front of the cursor and dragging the letter button B may delete the character behind the cursor. Wherein, the letter key C is the first letter key of Clear, the letter key P is the first letter key of Previous, and the letter key B is the first letter key of backliward.
Therefore, further, the editing operation corresponding to the combination of the keys or/and the characters is executed, including but not limited to any one of the following manners:
when the editing operation is a delete operation:
according to the combination of the letter key C or C and the delete function key, executing the operation of deleting all contents;
according to the combination of the letter key P or P and the delete function key, executing the operation of deleting the previous character of the cursor;
according to the combination of the letter key B or B and the deleting function key, executing the operation of deleting the previous character of the cursor;
when the editing operation is a paste operation:
executing pasting operation according to the combination of the letter key V or V and the space key;
when the editing operation is a selection operation:
according to the combination of the letter key A or a and the space key, executing all selected operations;
when the editing operation is a copy operation:
according to the combination of the letter key C or C and the space key, executing the copying operation;
when the editing operation is a cut operation:
executing the cutting operation according to the combination of the letter key X or the letter key X and the space key;
when the editing operation is a undo operation:
and according to the combination of the letter keys Z or Z and the space key, the operation of canceling the previous editing operation is executed.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a function of clearing an edit box. The operation steps are that the space key is dragged out of the area of the space key, and then the space key is dragged back to be lifted and released, namely, the effective input is realized, and the operation of emptying the edit box is completed.
Specifically, inputting character information corresponding to a key or/and a combination of characters includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following ways:
inputting letter keys after upper and lower cases are switched or corner marks corresponding to the letter keys according to the combination of the letter keys and the shift keys;
inputting character information corresponding to the full name according to the full name initial letter key combination;
inputting password information according to the letter keys PW or PW;
inputting a user name of the microblog according to the letter keys WB or WB;
inputting the web page address information according to the combination input of the number keys and the letter keys W.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a key for quick input of upper and lower case letters; fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of fast input symbols. Wherein, fig. 5 is that the letter key T is clicked, dragged to the shift key, and capital T is input by combining the shift (i.e. case change key) key and the lower case T key, and fig. 6 is that the corner mark button is dragged to the space key release, and characters are input by the space key and the lower case T key.
The existing design usually needs long press to realize the switching of different inputs on the same key, but the scheme disclosed by the invention is obviously quicker and more convenient.
In addition, the user may define some character strings and designate 1 or more keys as trigger keys. When a key response is triggered, an already defined character string can be quickly input.
In addition, the quick input can be carried out according to the initial letter key combination of the character information name. Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating the quick entry of account names. For example, the microblog triggering key is an initial key of W, B and Weibo, which is convenient for the user to memorize. Namely, w is dragged to b and then lifted, the microblog account number can be quickly input, and the trouble of memory is avoided. In addition, the recorded password can be quickly input. For example, a password is defined by a combination of the P and W keys. A mailbox name is defined by combining keys with E and M. Defining a URL of a web site by using number keys and W combination keys; and so on.
Specifically, the input method switching operation corresponding to the key or/and character combination is executed, including but not limited to any one of the following modes:
switching to an English input method according to the combination of the letter key E and the language switching function key;
switching to a simplified pinyin input method according to the combination of the letter key C and the language switching function key;
switching to the Taiwan phonetic notation input method according to the combination of the letter keys T and the language switching function keys;
switching to a hong Kong Changjie input method according to the combination of the letter key H and the language switching function key;
and switching to the Korean input method according to the combination of the letter key K and the language switching function key.
In addition, 0-9 number keys can be defined as 10 different input method modes. For example, dragging the set key to these number keys, 10 modes of quick switching are realized. Further, dragging a key may prompt the user at which key release what triggering event may be. Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a switching input method, in which 1 corresponds to full-screen handwriting, 2 corresponds to a handwriting frame, 3 corresponds to full-keyboard pinyin, 4 corresponds to keypad pinyin, 5 corresponds to strokes, and 6 to 0 may define different other modes, such as mode 1 to mode 5.
Compared with the scheme of polling and switching the input method in the prior art, the scheme disclosed by the invention can quickly and conveniently switch the required input method. For users, the input method can be selected at a glance, which is beneficial to improving the switching speed of operation and reducing misoperation.
And running the application program corresponding to the key or/and character combination, and directly calling the third-party program. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a diagram of a shortcut translation is shown. The word to be translated is input on the keyboard, the candidate word is dragged to the language switching function key to be released, and the third party translation module can be called to translate. Thereafter, the candidate region updates the translated candidate word for selection by the user. In FIG. 9, the translation of "tomorrow" in multiple languages is performed.
For another example, inputting an app name into a candidate word, dragging the candidate word to a specific function key, that is, displaying an icon of an application corresponding to the key or/and the character combination; and when the icon of the application program is clicked, directly running the corresponding application program.
Furthermore, the name of one app is input to the candidate character, the candidate character is dragged to the specific function key, and the app can be directly opened, so that the step of finding programs can be omitted for the user, and the user can use other application programs conveniently. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a quick open application; the user hopes to quickly open the guarded radish, inputs the guarded radish to the candidate character, and then drags the candidate character to the space bar to realize that the program starts to run and jumps to the game of the guarded radish.
Further, the running of the application corresponding to the combination of the key or/and the character further includes:
and inputting all or part of information of the key or/and the character combination into the running application program.
As shown in fig. 11, in order to add drag information directly to the application program, the "tomorrow" is dragged onto the space bar, and a hundred-degree search is performed on the "tomorrow". Obviously, the process that the user calls other application programs and inputs the application programs later is also omitted, and the use convenience of the user is improved.
Further, according to the key or/and character combination at the start and end of touch, the corresponding operation is executed, which includes:
and executing corresponding operation according to the key or/and character combination and the dragging track when the touch is started and stopped.
That is, in addition to considering a combination of a key or/and a character, the trace information of the sliding or dragging may also be a factor for determining the corresponding operation. For example, corresponding operations are executed according to the combination of keys or/and characters at the start and the end of touch control and the track of the sliding operation.
Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram illustrating the dragging trace influencing the response result. Specifically, in the specific application, at the time of step S120, the buttons passed through during the dragging process are recorded, and the recording is started from the button clicking and sequentially saved in the list.
Taking fig. 12 as an example, dragging the P key to move to the left, moving to the U key down to the J, and stroking to the letter key D to the right, lifting. The pattern is Z-shaped. The alphabetical key sequence is P-O-I-U-J-H-G-F-D, for example, must be events that satisfy this sequence to trigger. The event trigger can be encrypted, so that the security is increased, and the encryption records the alphabetical key sequence instead of the graph.
Further, the combination of keys or/and characters includes two or more keys or/and characters.
Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of three key combinations, the left diagram is a combination of e, r and a space key, and the right diagram is a combination of e, o and a space key.
The technical scheme disclosed by the invention supports multi-point touch control, and a plurality of keys can be simultaneously pressed, dragged and lifted to respond to a certain event. In addition, the method is not limited to single-hand operation, and the effective area for clicking can be multiple, and is generally limited only by the maximum supported number of the touch screen.
As an embodiment of the present invention, when a key or a character at the start of touch operation of a sliding operation is detected, a name or an operation identifier of an operation corresponding to the key or/and a combination of the character at the start is displayed on other keys or characters on the input method area.
As shown in fig. 14, a schematic diagram of a prompt is displayed for dragging a function key. The input method senses the dragging state in the dragging process. For example, taking the dragging space key as an example, dragging the space key will show which key is dragged to touch the trigger function prompt: the letter key a is selected completely, the letter key x is cut, the letter key c is copied, and the letter key v is pasted; when the space key is dragged, the space key on the keyboard is displayed to be clear, and the dragged space key is not displayed, namely, when the space key is dragged and returns to the space key, the function of clearing is realized.
Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram illustrating the function prompted when the letter key is dragged. Dragging the letter key C, a prompt appears on the corresponding predefined combination key, for example, the delete key is clear, the space key is copy, and the shift key is shift.
Through the mode, the response button on the keyboard can prompt the user to drag which combination keys can trigger what function, so that the user can be reminded at any time, and the user can conveniently memorize and operate.
As an embodiment of the present invention, further, the method further includes: receiving input information of a user, and configuring key or/and character combination and corresponding operation according to the input information of the user.
As shown in fig. 16, a diagram of the corresponding operations is defined for the user. In the figure, the user configures different keys and/or character combinations corresponding to the custom character strings to be input, including mailbox names, passwords, URL addresses, and the like.
As shown in fig. 17, a flowchart for applying the present invention to a touch screen includes the following steps: waiting for input by the touch screen; when detecting that the user clicks the key, recording; if the touch screen is not dragged and released, the key is normally responded, and the touch screen returns to the touch screen to wait for the input state again; if the start of dragging is detected, optionally, recording a sliding track, and continuously updating the keyboard state; when the dragging is detected to be finished, namely entering a release key state, and recording keys at the release position; judging the recorded key combination, if the key combination is not an effective combination, responding the key normally, and returning to the touch screen to wait for the input state to wait again; if the combination is valid, the matched input state is selected correspondingly according to the key combination, and the input state includes but is not limited to the following cases: inputting characters, translating candidate words, inputting user-defined character strings, switching input method modes, and the like.
The method disclosed by the invention can realize quick information input, effectively improve the operation efficiency of a user and improve the reaction speed of application. Meanwhile, for some common applications of users, by adopting the scheme disclosed by the invention, the memory of the users can be effectively reduced, the operation error rate is reduced, and the usability of the equipment is improved.
