Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an input method switching method according to an exemplary embodiment, where the input method switching method is applied to a smart device, as shown in fig. 1, where the smart device may include a smart phone, a tablet computer, a multimedia player, and the like, which have a text input function. The input method switching method comprises the following steps.
In step 101, when a first chat interface between the first contact person and the first contact person is opened, a pre-stored input method configuration file is called, wherein the input method configuration file comprises at least one group of corresponding relations, and the corresponding relations comprise the contact person and an input method required when the contact person chats.
In step 102, whether the input method configuration includes the input method corresponding to the first contact person is inquired according to the corresponding relation between the contact person and the input method in the input method configuration file.
In step 103, if the input method configuration file includes an input method corresponding to the first contact, the input method corresponding to the first contact is called, and the input method is used for inputting characters in the first chat interface.
In summary, according to the input method switching method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a chat interface with a contact is opened, a pre-stored input method corresponding to the contact is called, and the corresponding input method is called for chatting in the chat interface; the method has the advantages that the pre-stored input method corresponding to the contact can be directly called for different contacts, and the user does not need to manually switch to the input method, so that the problem that the user needs to continuously switch the input method when the user performs text contact with the contacts of various language types is solved; the method and the device have the advantages that switching operation that the default input method needs to be switched to the input method corresponding to the contact person every time is avoided, and the efficiency of determining the input method corresponding to the contact person is improved.
Fig. 2A is a flowchart illustrating an input method switching method according to another exemplary embodiment, where the input method switching method is applied to a smart device, as shown in fig. 2A, where the smart device may include a smart phone, a tablet computer, a multimedia player, and the like, which have a text input function. The input method switching method comprises the following steps.
In step 201, a pre-stored input method profile is invoked when a first chat interface with a first contact is opened.
The first chat interface is a chat interface when the first chat interface performs text chat with the first contact, the two chat parties can input the content which the two chat parties want to say in the chat interface, and the chat interface can display the text input by the two chat parties.
Generally, once the chat interface is opened or in the foreground, a text input box is displayed in the chat interface, and the chat interface calls an input method, so that a user inputs text into the text input box in the chat interface according to the input method or by switching the input method desired by the user. After the input characters are sent, the user is displayed in a chat interface as a sender, and the opposite-end user of the chat can check the characters input and sent by the user in a dialog box. By way of example, FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating a chat interface, as shown in FIG. 2B, according to an example embodiment. When the user 22 opens a chat interface with the korean friend 25, a text input box 23 and a currently called korean input method 24 are displayed in the chat interface, and the contents inputted by the user in the text input box 23 using the korean input method 24 are displayed in the dialog box 21.
The input method configuration file generally includes at least one set of corresponding relations, and each set of corresponding relations may include a contact and an input method required for chatting with the contact. Obviously, the contact in the correspondence described herein is an identifier for uniquely identifying the contact, for example, an account of the contact; the input method in the correspondence described herein is a name for uniquely identifying an input method, such as an english input method, a chinese input method, or the like.
Generally, when a user chats with friends from different countries, different input methods may be required, for example, when chatting with friends from korea, the chat contents may be required to be input through a korean input method; also for example, when chatting with friends from the united states, it may be necessary to input the chat content through an english input method.
Thus, different input methods may be configured for different contacts. Optionally, before using, the user may configure an input method corresponding to the chat with the contact for different contacts. Optionally, the user may configure, through the input method setting entry of the application program, an input method corresponding to a chat with a contact for different contacts, where the application program may be used for an application of chatting with a contact in the address list through a chat interface.
When the input method setting entry is triggered, the application program displays an input method configuration interface, various input methods are displayed in the input method configuration interface, an address list can be displayed or called, and a user selects an input method and selects a friend corresponding to the input method from the address list.
For example, fig. 2C is a schematic diagram illustrating configuring, through an input method setting portal of an application program, corresponding input methods for different contacts when chatting with the contacts according to an exemplary embodiment. The user can enter the input method setting interface from the input method setting entrance of the application program, select the Korean input method, select the friend chatting with the Korean input method, and set the corresponding relation. Obviously, the user can select another part of friends from the address list and set the input method for chatting with the friends to be french, and the user can select another part of friends from the address list and set the input method for chatting with the friends to be german. The number of partial friends mentioned here may be one, two or more.
In step 202, according to the corresponding relationship between the contact and the input method in the input method configuration file, whether the input method corresponding to the first contact is included in the input method configuration file is queried.
Generally, a contact usually corresponds to only one corresponding relationship, that is, the contacts in different corresponding relationships are different.
In step 203, if the input method configuration file includes the input method corresponding to the first contact, the input method corresponding to the first contact is called, and the input method is used for inputting characters in the first chat interface.
When inquiring whether the input method configuration file contains the input method corresponding to the first contact person, if the input method configuration file contains the input method corresponding to the first contact person, the input method configuration file indicates that the input method is very likely to be used for chatting with the first contact person, and at the moment, the input method corresponding to the first contact person can be called, so that characters can be input in a chatting interface with the first contact person by using the input method.
For example, when the intelligent device queries that the input method corresponding to a certain british friend of the user is an english input method, the english input method is called, and the english input method is used for chatting in a chatting interface with the british friend.
In a possible scenario, when a user chats with a friend, the user who may use at least two languages, for example, the native language of chinese, is learning korean to a korean friend, and the korean friend's chinese is very good, and the user may input chinese and korean but not input other languages (e.g., japanese, french, etc.) when chatting with the korean friend, it is also necessary to set at least two input methods corresponding to the korean friend, that is, to store the korean friend and the chinese and korean input methods as a set of correspondence in an input method profile.
That is, when the input method configuration file includes the input method corresponding to the first contact person, the number of the input methods corresponding to the first contact person may be further determined, and if the number of the input methods corresponding to the first contact person is one, the input method corresponding to the first contact person is directly called; if the input methods corresponding to the first contact are two or more, the at least two input methods searched out are displayed in the first chat interface, and the user selects one of the input methods. If the user does not select one of the at least two input methods which are inquired, taking the input method used when the user chats with the first contact last time as the input method of the current time, or taking the input method which has the highest historical use frequency when the user chats with the first contact or the input method which has the highest use frequency in the latest period of time as the input method of the current time.
FIG. 2D is a diagram illustrating a chat interface for selecting an input method, according to an illustrative embodiment. As shown in fig. 2D, when the input method profile includes japanese input methods and korean input methods corresponding to the friend, and when the friend chats, options of the japanese input methods and the korean input methods are respectively displayed on the chat interface for the user to select, and the user can select one of the input methods for chatting with the friend.
In step 204, if the input method configuration file does not include the input method corresponding to the first contact, a default input method is called.
In practical applications, the input method configuration file may not include the input method corresponding to the first contact, for example, the user does not set the input method corresponding to the first contact, or the user does not chat with the first contact, that is, the correspondence between the first contact and the input method corresponding to the first contact is not stored in the input method configuration file in advance, and at this time, the default input method is called.
For example, the default input method of the system in the mobile phone of the user is a chinese input method, when the user chats with a friend for the first time using a chat interface, the intelligent device usually does not query the input method configuration file for the corresponding relationship between the friend and the input method corresponding to the friend, and at this time, the user directly calls the default chinese input method when chatting with the friend.
In summary, according to the input method switching method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a chat interface with a contact is opened, a pre-stored input method corresponding to the contact is called, and the corresponding input method is called for chatting in the chat interface; the method has the advantages that the pre-stored input method corresponding to the contact can be directly called for different contacts, and the user does not need to manually switch to the input method, so that the problem that the user needs to continuously switch the input method when the user performs text contact with the contacts of various language types is solved; the method and the device have the advantages that switching operation that the default input method needs to be switched to the input method corresponding to the contact person every time is avoided, and the efficiency of determining the input method corresponding to the contact person is improved. Meanwhile, when the input method corresponding to the contact is not inquired, the default input method is directly called, so that the waste of system resources is avoided, and the effect of effectively utilizing the system resources is achieved.
In a possible implementation scenario, the correspondence between the contact and the input method may also be determined according to the input method switched by the user when the user chats with the contact. That is, before step 201, a process of storing the contact and the input method associated with the contact may be further included, which may be specifically described in the description of fig. 3A.
Fig. 3A is a flowchart illustrating an input method switching method according to still another exemplary embodiment, including the following steps.
In step 301, when inputting characters in a second chat interface between the second contact and the second contact, a second input method switched to after the second chat interface is opened is obtained, and the second input method is used for inputting characters in the second chat interface.
The second contact is an object for opening the second chat interface to chat in text, and may be the same as or different from the first contact. The second chat interface is an open chat interface corresponding to the second contact. The second input method is an input method for inputting characters in the second chat interface.
In practical applications, when a user chats with a second contact, the initial input method may not be the input method that the user wants when chatting with the contact, for example, when the user chats with a friend in the united states, the user may need an english input method, and after opening a chat interface for chatting with the friend in the united states, the system may default to the called non-english input method, at this time, the user may switch the default called non-english input method to the english input method, so as to chat with the friend in the united states using the english input method, and at this time, the english input method (i.e., the switched second input method) is obtained.
After the second input method switched to after the second chat interface is opened is obtained, the second contact and the second input method can be stored into the input method configuration file as a group of corresponding relations. However, in practical applications, when the user chats with the contact, the input method may be switched by mistake due to wrong selection or other reasons, so that the input method does not correspond to the contact, or the correspondence between the contact and the input method needs to be changed continuously, and in order to ensure that the correspondence between the input method and the contact can reflect the actual use of the input method as accurately as possible, the following steps 302 to 304 are performed.
In step 302, after the second input method switched to after the second chat interface is opened is obtained, adding 1 to the number of switching times corresponding to the second contact and the second input method, where the number of switching times is used to indicate the number of times of switching to the second input method when chatting with the second contact.
For example, when a user and a friend in japan open a chat interface for chatting, the input method is switched to the japanese input method, and the number of times of switching corresponding to the japanese friend and the japanese input method is increased by 1, and when the user switches to the japanese input method every time in the process of chatting with the friend in japan using the chat interface, the number of times of switching corresponding to the japanese input method is increased by 1.
It should be added that the interfaces where the user chats with the second contact are all referred to as the same second chat interface, and the second chat interface is uniquely corresponding to the second contact, and even if the second chat interface with the second contact is closed, when the chat interface with the second contact is opened next time, the newly opened chat interface is referred to as the second chat interface.
In step 303, it is detected whether the number of handovers reaches a predetermined number threshold.
The predetermined number threshold may be set according to an actual situation, and the specific value of the predetermined number threshold is not limited in each embodiment of the present disclosure. When the switching times are less than the predetermined threshold, the input method may be considered to be mistaken for a click error or other reasons, and the input method is not stored.
In step 304, if the number of times of switching reaches the predetermined number of times threshold, the second contact and the second input method are stored as a set of correspondence in the input method configuration file.
If the number of times of switching reaches the predetermined number threshold, which usually indicates that the user usually uses the second input method when chatting with the second contact, at this time, the second contact and the second input method may be stored as a set of correspondence in the input method configuration file.
FIG. 3B is a flowchart illustrating steps for storing contacts and input methods as a set of correspondences in an input method profile, including the following steps, according to an exemplary embodiment.
In step 304a, it is detected whether the input method configuration file stores a corresponding relationship including a second contact.
In step 304b, if the input method configuration file does not store the corresponding relationship including the second contact, the second contact and the second input method are stored as a set of corresponding relationship in the input method configuration file.
In step 304c, if the input method configuration file stores a corresponding relationship including a second contact, replacing the corresponding relationship including the second contact stored in the input method configuration file with the second contact and the second input method as a group of corresponding relationships; or adding the second input method to the corresponding relation containing the second contact existing in the input method configuration file.
In a practical application scenario, the stored contacts may need to switch an input method different from the pre-stored input method for some reason, for example, the pre-stored input method corresponding to the korean friend is a korean input method, and if the korean friend wants to learn chinese, the user may chat with the korean friend using the chinese input method, which may cause the user to switch the automatically invoked korean input method to the chinese input method each time the user chats with the korean friend. At this time, the Chinese input method can be used to replace the Korean input method in the corresponding relationship corresponding to the contact.
That is to say, the correspondence between the contact and the input method may change with the change of the input method used in the chat between the contact and the input method, so that the input method used when the user communicates with the contact recently can be better fitted.
When the user chats with the same contact person, and when different input methods appear, the switched input method can also be directly added to the existing corresponding relationship containing the contact person, that is, at least two input methods are stored in the corresponding relationship containing the contact person. Therefore, when the user opens the chat interface with the contact person, at least two input methods in the corresponding relation can be called, the at least two input methods are displayed in the chat interface, and the user selects one of the input methods to chat. In this case, since the user only needs to select from the input methods corresponding to the contact, selection from a small number of input methods is relatively easy, and even if the user selects the input method by mistake, the user can still chat with the input method by mistake, and the use of the user is not particularly affected.
For example, when the input method with a korean contact includes a chinese input method and a korean input method, if the user easily selects the input method from the displayed chinese input method and korean input method and only selects the input method from the displayed chinese input method and korean input method by mistake, the user can directly chat with the korean contact using the selected input method, and the korean contact can still understand the characters input by the user. However, if the user selects from all input methods according to the conventional input method selection method, the user may mistakenly select an input method that cannot be recognized by the korean contact, such as french or german, thereby resulting in poor user experience. And the method and the device select from at least two stored input methods, so that the input method which cannot be identified by the contact person can be prevented from being selected, and the user experience is improved.
In summary, according to the input method switching method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a chat interface with a contact is opened, a pre-stored input method corresponding to the contact is called, and the corresponding input method is called for chatting in the chat interface; the method has the advantages that the pre-stored input method corresponding to the contact can be directly called for different contacts, and the user does not need to manually switch to the input method, so that the problem that the user needs to continuously switch the input method when the user performs text contact with the contacts of various language types is solved; the method and the device have the advantages that switching operation that the default input method needs to be switched to the input method corresponding to the contact person every time is avoided, and the efficiency of determining the input method corresponding to the contact person is improved. In addition, the problem of mistakenly cutting the input method is solved by timely storing and updating the corresponding relation between the contact person and the input method; the effect of accurately switching the input method is achieved.
