In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the touch operation on the input key and the key strength of the touch operation are obtained through detection, the character type to be input by the touch operation is determined according to the key strength, and at least one input candidate character is displayed in response to the touch operation according to at least one target character corresponding to the target character type on the input key, so that a user can select the character to be input from the at least one input candidate character, the keyboard mode switching during inputting different character types is avoided, the technical problems of complicated input process and low input efficiency caused by the keyboard mode switching in the prior art are solved, the input operation steps are simplified, and the input efficiency is improved.
The main implementation principle, the specific implementation mode and the corresponding beneficial effects of the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application are explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an input method, including:
s101: acquiring touch operation on an input key and key force of the touch operation, wherein the input key corresponds to at least two types of characters;
s102: determining a threshold range to which the key strength belongs and a target character type corresponding to the threshold range;
s103: and responding to the touch operation to display at least one input candidate character according to at least one target character corresponding to the target character type on the input key.
In a specific implementation process, each input key on the touch keyboard provided by the embodiment of the application corresponds to at least two types of characters, which can be specifically a combination of any two or more than two of english letters, chinese letters, numbers and symbols. The touch keyboard can be in the form of a nine-grid keyboard or a 26-key keyboard. The touch keyboard can be divided into three modes of English, Pinyin and 123 (namely numbers), is the same as the existing touch keyboard, but does not need to separately set keyboard mode switching keys and separately switch the keyboard modes, and the current keyboard mode of the touch keyboard is automatically determined by analyzing the key strength of a user. Further, the touch keyboard provided by the present application may also have no keyboard mode division, and all characters possessed in various modes are correspondingly provided on each input key, for example: the corresponding symbol on the input key 1 in the nine-square grid keyboard. Is there a | A The ' number ' 1 ', the letter ' abc ' and the number ' 2 ' are corresponding to the input key ' 2 ', and the characters corresponding to the other input keys are shown in detail in figure 3; correspondingly, the letter "q" and the number "1" are corresponding to the input key "1" of the 26-key keyboard, i.e. the full keyboard, and the letter "n" and the symbol "! ", the characters corresponding to the other input keys are shown in detail in fig. 4.
When a user performs an input operation on the touch keyboard provided in the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application executes S101 to obtain a touch operation on an input key and a key strength of the touch operation. Specifically, when the touch operation on the input key is obtained, the position coordinate of the touch operation may be detected and obtained in the touch display area where the touch keyboard is located, which input key on the keyboard is touched by the user is determined through the position coordinate, and meanwhile, the key strength of the touch operation is obtained through the touch screen with the pressure sensing capability, and S102 is further executed. Touch gestures carrying pressure information can be recognized on a touch screen with pressure sensing capabilities, for example: the single-finger/multi-finger sliding operation with different pressing degrees, the single-finger/multi-finger clicking operation with different pressing degrees, the single-finger/multi-finger long-pressing operation with different pressing degrees and the like are adopted. The pressing force of each gesture can belong to a preset pressure range, is customized by a user or is generated by learning according to input behaviors of the user, such as light touch, light press and heavy press in 3 dtouch.
S102, determining a threshold range to which the key force of the touch operation belongs and a target character type corresponding to the threshold range. Specifically, the threshold range corresponding to the chinese character may be a first threshold range in the embodiment of the present application; setting the threshold range corresponding to the English characters as a second threshold range; and setting the threshold range corresponding to the numbers and the characters as a third threshold range. The specific values of the first threshold range, the second threshold range and the third threshold range may be preset ranges in the electronic device, or may be set individually by the user according to the actual needs of the user, and it is only necessary to ensure that two of them are not intersected. For example: the specific value of the first threshold range may be a strength value range corresponding to a light Touch in 3D-Touch, the specific value of the second threshold range may be a strength value range corresponding to a light Touch in 3D-Touch, and the specific value of the third threshold range may be a strength value range corresponding to a heavy Touch in 3D-Touch.
After determining the threshold range to which the key strength of the touch operation belongs, the corresponding target character type can be further determined, that is, it is determined that the operation intention of the touch operation is to input Chinese characters, English characters, numbers or symbols. For example: if the fact that the key strength of the touch operation belongs to the first threshold range is determined, the target character type corresponding to the first threshold range can be determined to be a Chinese character; if the fact that the key strength of the touch operation belongs to the second threshold range is determined, the target character type corresponding to the second threshold range can be determined to be an English character; if it is determined that the key strength of the touch operation belongs to the third threshold range, it may be determined that the target character type corresponding to the third threshold range is a number and a symbol.
After the target character type is determined, S103 is further executed: and responding to touch operation on the input key to display at least one input candidate character according to at least one target character corresponding to the target character type on the input key. For example: assuming that the user taps the input key 2 in the nine-grid keyboard, in the embodiment of the present application, it is determined through S101 to S102 that the target character type corresponding to the touch operation is a chinese character, that is, the operation intention of the user is to input a chinese character, then the corresponding chinese characters on the input key are obtained as "a", "b", and "c", and at least one corresponding input candidate character is obtained according to the chinese characters "a", "b", and "c" in response to the tap operation and displayed, as follows: o, not, eat, bar, etc.
After the target character type is determined, the intention of the user in touch operation is determined, and therefore the characters of the target character type can be displayed on all input keys of the touch keyboard. According to the keyboard with the keyboard mode division, after the target character type of touch operation is determined, the touch keyboard is automatically switched to the keyboard mode corresponding to the target character type, so that characters of the target character type are displayed on input keys, and the intelligence of an input process is improved. According to the keyboard without distinguishing the keyboard modes, after the target character of touch operation is determined to be a Chinese character, characters of the target character type are displayed on all input keys of the touch keyboard. For example: the user re-presses the input keys 'abc' on the touch keyboard, the electronic equipment determines that the key force of the re-pressing operation belongs to a third threshold range, the target character type corresponding to the third threshold range is a number and a character, namely the operation intention of the user is to input the number and/or the character, then the number and the character are displayed on the input keys of the touch keyboard, letters on the input keys can not be displayed any more, so that the user can conveniently identify each input key, and the next touch operation of the user is facilitated.
In a specific application process, a user generally inputs a plurality of characters for continuously performing a plurality of touch operations on a touch keyboard, that is, there may be a previous touch operation before a current touch operation, for this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, when at least one input candidate character is displayed in response to a touch operation, and when a previous touch operation exists on an input key before the current touch operation, at least one input candidate character corresponding to the touch operation is generated according to at least one previous target character corresponding to the previous touch operation and at least one target character corresponding to the current touch operation; then, the at least one input candidate character is displayed in response to the current touch operation. For example: the target character input by the user in the previous touch operation is 'w', the target character input by the user in the current touch operation is 'o', the target character types are Chinese characters, then the two target characters can be combined to obtain pinyin 'wo', and at least one input candidate character is correspondingly provided according to the pinyin 'wo': i, Wo, etc.
According to the input method provided by the embodiment of the application, the user can continuously input the mixed character string without switching the keyboard mode, namely, the user can realize that the type of the target character input before is different from the type of the target character input currently without switching the keyboard mode. For example: the user continuously inputs "1 dong 704", wherein "dong" is tapping the corresponding target character type as a chinese character, the corresponding candidate character type is chinese, the rest are numbers according to the corresponding candidate character type, the input means may provide at least one candidate character "1 dong 704", "1 neem 704", etc. according to the "1 dong 704" input by the user.
Further, in order to improve the efficiency of mixing and inputting chinese, english, numeric, and characters, in the embodiments of the present application, when at least one input candidate character corresponding to a touch operation is generated according to at least one previous target character corresponding to a previous touch operation and at least one currently input target character, the following steps are performed:
preferably, at least one previous target character and at least one currently input target character are segmented, and adjacent target characters with the same character type are segments. For example: the target character string input by the user is as follows: "nihaotom 007", in which the target character type of "nihao" is chinese, the target character type of "tom" is english, and the target character type of "007" is numeric, the "nihaotom 007" is divided into three sections, "nihao", "tom", and "007".
And then, converting each character, and combining conversion results of each character to generate at least one input candidate character corresponding to the touch operation. For example: converting the nihao to obtain a conversion result of 'hello' and 'hello', converting the Tom to obtain a conversion result of 'Tom', converting the '007' to obtain a conversion result of '007', and combining the conversion results of all the character segments to generate at least one input candidate character: "hello Tom 007" and "hello Tom 007" so that at least one of the generated candidate characters is displayed for the user to select which of the candidate characters is the input character.
The input method provided by the embodiment of the present application is fully illustrated by two specific embodiments as follows:
example 1: (nine-palace lattice touch keyboard)
The method comprises the steps that a user is not set to be in a nine-Chinese-key state, according to default setting of an input method, the touch key is used for expressing Chinese input intention, the touch key is used for expressing English input intention, and the touch key is used for expressing number symbol input intention, so that the user can tell whether Chinese, English or number symbol contents are required to be input in a current input string segment of the input method through forceful control in the input process, and the input method is helped to achieve the purpose of inputting mixed input contents containing Chinese, English, numbers and the like.
1. When the user wants to go to the screen, "i want the iPhone6s mobile phone", the user sequentially presses "969426492647466367746854" in accordance with the following operation procedure in 2 "
2. "9694264926" is pressed in sequence by a light touch, then "474663" is pressed in sequence by a light touch, then "6" is pressed by a heavy touch, then "7" is pressed by a light touch, and finally "746854" is pressed in sequence by a light touch.
3. At this time, the input method voice-character conversion logic will judge that the user wants Chinese when inputting "9694264926" by tapping, convert the corresponding Chinese candidate "i wants", "i wants to play", and when inputting "474663" by tapping, convert the corresponding English candidate "iPhone", and when inputting "6" by tapping, judge that the user wants to input digits, convert the corresponding digit candidate "6", when inputting "7" by tapping, recognize that the user wants to input English, convert the corresponding English candidate "p", "q", "r", "s", and the last "746854" is a string of tapping operation, so judge that the user wants Chinese, convert the corresponding Chinese candidate "cell phone", "hand", "i" and so on, and enter the next step of combining and generating candidate;
4. with the segmentation conversion result of the previous step, combining a plurality of different candidates of a plurality of segments and scoring each combined structure, as in the previous step, we can obtain the following combined results: "i want to use an iPhone6s mobile phone", "i want to play an iPhone6s mobile phone", "i want an iPhone6p mobile phone", "i want to play an iPhone6p mobile phone", "i want to play an iPhone6r collection", etc., and these combined results are scored through a language model, ranked according to the score and presented to the user, wherein the preference and the secondary preference are "i want an iPhone6s mobile phone" and "i want to play an iPhone6s mobile phone", respectively;
5. finally, the user selects to screen the mixed input candidate "i want the iPhone6s handset".
Example 2: (26 Key touch keyboard)
The user is not set to be in a 26-key Chinese state, according to default setting of the input method, the touch key is used for expressing Chinese input intention, the touch key is used for expressing English input intention, and the touch key is used for expressing numeric symbol input intention.
1. The user wants to go to the screen "i want the iPhone6s Mobile phone", the user presses "wooxinguponeshouji" in sequence according to the following operation procedure in 2 "
2. "woxiangyao" is sequentially pressed by a light touch, then "iphone" is sequentially pressed by a light touch, then "y" is pressed by a heavy press, then "s" is pressed by a light press, and finally "shouji" is sequentially pressed by a light touch.
3. At this time, the input method sound-character conversion logic can judge that the user wants to be Chinese when inputting 'woxiangyao' by touch, convert a corresponding Chinese candidate 'i wants', convert English when inputting 'iPhone' by touch, convert a corresponding English candidate 'iPhone', judge that the user wants to input numbers when inputting 'y' by touch, convert a corresponding number candidate '6', recognize that the user wants to input English when pressing's' lightly, convert a corresponding English candidate's', and finally 'shouji' is a string of touch operations, so that the user wants to be Chinese, convert a corresponding Chinese candidate 'cell phone', 'collection', and the like, and enter a next step of combination and generation candidate stage;
4. with the segmentation conversion result of the previous step, combining a plurality of different candidates of a plurality of segments and scoring each combined structure, as in the previous step, we can obtain the following combined results: "i want the mobile phone of iPhone6 s", "i want the collection of iPhone6 s", scoring the combined results through a language model, sorting the combined results according to the scores and showing the results to the user, wherein the first choice is "i want the mobile phone of iPhone6 s";
5. finally, the user selects to screen the mixed input candidate "i want the iPhone6s handset".
Compared with the prior art, when a user inputs a mixed input pinyin string such as '969426492647466367746854', the candidate 'i want an iPhone6s mobile phone' that the user wants cannot be given according to the existing input method conversion logic, and if the user wants to input such a mixed input result, the user needs to perform related input in corresponding keyboard modes switched at different stages, so that the input purpose is achieved in a segmented screen-up mode. According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, different input intentions (Chinese, English and numeric symbols) are respectively given to the three forces (namely light touch, light press and heavy press) which can be recognized by the screen, different pinyin string segments can be converted into different results through different forces, and therefore mixed input results desired by a user can be conveniently converted, and complicated input operations such as frequent keyboard mode switching and the like of the user in the input process are reduced. Of course, in addition to the identification of the three kinds of force, more or less distinguishing force can be set according to the needs in the actual application process, so as to realize the input meeting the actual needs of the user or being more accurate.
