Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of an input method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 102, determining a currently selected target object in an input method panel; and the target object is used for processing according to the corresponding user-defined function operation when the touch operation is monitored to be the designated gesture operation.

And 104, playing the voice information of the target object.

In using an input method, the input method panel needs to be started first. The input method panel includes various panels, such as a symbol panel, a number panel, a voice translation panel, a pinyin panel, an english panel, and the like. In the embodiment of the invention, the control displayed on the input method panel, the candidate obtained after the user inputs information through the input method panel, and the like can be used as the currently selected target object. The target object can be automatically positioned and selected by an input method or manually selected by a user.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the corresponding user-defined function operation is set for the designated gesture operation, and when the monitored touch operation is the designated gesture operation, the target object is processed according to the user-defined function operation corresponding to the designated gesture operation, so that the input of a user is more flexible and efficient in the process of using the input method, and the input experience of the user is improved. The system can also provide custom function operation, and a user can set the corresponding relation between the designated gesture operation and the custom function operation according to the user self, and can allow the designated gesture operation and the custom function operation added or deleted by the user to provide better input experience.

After the currently selected target object is determined, the voice information of the target object is played, so that the user can obtain the voice feedback of the target object. For example, after a certain input method panel is started, a setting control automatically positioned to the panel is selected as a target object, then the voice information corresponding to the playing setting control is set, and for example, after a user obtains a candidate item through the input method panel input information, the first candidate item is automatically used as the target object, and the voice information corresponding to the first candidate item is played.

In a preferred example, embodiments of the present invention may be applicable to visually impaired users. For the visually impaired user, because the visually impaired user cannot obtain clear visual feedback in the process of using the electronic equipment such as the mobile phone and the like, and can only distinguish the content of the current operation through the hearing sense or the touch sense, the embodiment of the invention can automatically determine or manually determine the target object currently selected in the input method panel by the user, and process the target object according to the corresponding user-defined function operation when the touch operation is monitored to be the designated gesture operation, so that the user input is more flexible and efficient, the input experience of the user is improved, in addition, the embodiment of the invention can also play the voice information corresponding to the target object, prompt the visually impaired user, and further improve the input experience of the user.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of an alternative embodiment of the input method of the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 202, starting an input method panel, and determining a currently selected target control in the input method panel.

And 204, taking the target control as the currently selected target object.

Step 206, playing the voice information of the target object.

The input method panel includes one or more controls, such as a speech setting control and a language selection control on a speech panel, a language selection control on a speech translation panel, and the like.

In the embodiment of the invention, one or more controls of the input method panel can be set as target controls in advance, and after the user starts the input method panel, the target controls of the input method panel are automatically selected. For example, if the voice panel includes a voice setting control and a language setting control, where the voice setting control is a target control, the voice setting control is selected after the voice panel is started; assuming that the speech translation panel comprises a language selection control, wherein the language selection control is a target control, the language selection control is selected after the speech translation panel is started. And determining a target control in the input method panel, and then taking the target control as a currently selected target object and playing voice information corresponding to the target object.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the target control is taken as the currently selected target object, the method further includes: when touch control operation aiming at the target control is monitored, popping up a popup window corresponding to the target control; when touch control operation aiming at a setting item in the setting popup window is monitored, taking the setting item as a target setting item, and processing a sub-control contained in the target setting item; and when the touch operation outside the setting popup window is monitored, closing the setting popup window.

The touch operation may be a click operation, a press operation, or a double-click operation. In the embodiment of the invention, the setting popup window of the target control is started or closed according to the touch operation of the user.

In an example of the present invention, after the voice panel is started, the voice setting control of the voice panel is selected as a target control, and then the corresponding voice information "voice setting" is played, and if a double-click operation of the user is monitored, a voice setting popup is popped up, wherein each setting item in the voice setting popup is a whole, that is, all sub-controls of the setting item will perform corresponding play, selection/cancellation, or jump operation together. If the language selection control of the voice panel is selected as the target control, then playing corresponding voice information, wherein the language selection is xx currently, xx is the currently displayed language, if the double-click operation of the user is monitored, popping up a language selection popup window, wherein each setting item in the language selection popup window is a whole, namely all the sub-controls of the setting item perform corresponding playing, selecting/canceling or expanding/retracting operation together. Referring to fig. 3, a pop-up window for voice setting is shown, a frame selection portion is a setting item, and each setting item is a whole, so that corresponding play, selection/cancellation or jump operations are performed on all sub-controls of the frame-selected setting item, for example, when a play operation needs to be performed on the "whisper recognition" setting item selected in fig. 3, the whole content of the "whisper recognition" setting item is played, that is, voice information to be played is "whisper recognition" and "recognizable whisper.

In the embodiment of the invention, when a user enters a voice panel in a barrier-free mode (aiming at an input method mode of a visually impaired user), the voice input function is not automatically started temporarily, but the user is prompted to click a button to start the voice input function, and short vibration prompt is carried out when the user starts the voice input function, namely enters a recording state.

In another example of the present invention, referring to the speech translation panel shown in fig. 4, after the speech translation panel is started, a language translation control of the speech translation panel is selected as a target control, and then corresponding speech information is played, where the speech information is in a currently selected language, and if the currently selected language is switched, the speech information also needs to be played. For example, suppose that the voice message "x translates x" is played when initially selected, and when the language is switched, the voice message "x translates x" is played, where x represents the language. And if a drop-down arrow (language setting control) beside the language translation control clicked by the user is monitored, popping up a language setting popup, wherein each setting item in the popup is a whole, and executing corresponding playing, selecting/canceling operations.

By applying the embodiment of the invention, the adaptation operation can be carried out on the input method panel, and the voice information is provided for the control in the adaptation operation process, so that a user can carry out setting according to the voice information when carrying out input method setting, and the input method setting efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention may further perform settings such as a thesaurus, account management, a shortcut phrase, a clipboard, text editing, and shortcut translation, and the settings may be single-click selection and double-click activation in practical applications. Of course, other settings may be opened in addition to the setting for the input method, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating steps of an alternative embodiment of the input method of the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 502, obtaining input information input by a user through an input method panel.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in the process of using the input method by the user, the input information input by the user through the input method panel may be acquired, where the input information may include: the user calls the information input by the input method in other application programs, and the other application programs may refer to application programs other than the input method, such as a chat application program, a game application program, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. The input method for inputting information by the user through the input method panel may include various input methods, for example, keyboard input, handwriting input, voice input, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

In an example of the present invention, the step 502 of acquiring the input information input by the user through the input method panel may include: monitoring the retention time of the touch operation of the blank keys on the input method panel; when the holding time meets the preset response time, triggering a voice input mode; and acquiring the voice information of the user as the input information of the user in the voice input mode.

The space key in the input method panel can be a trigger key for voice input. In the embodiment of the invention, the preset response time for the space key is set to be 1s (second), when the touch operation (such as pressing operation) of a user on the key of the space key on the input method panel is monitored, the holding time of the touch operation for the pressing operation of the space key is counted, if the holding time reaches the preset response time, voice input can be triggered, and at the moment, the voice information of the user can be acquired and converted into characters to be used as the input information of the user.

It should be noted that, when counting the holding time of the space key in the pressing operation, the embodiment of the present invention does not care whether the direct falling point of the pressing operation of the user is at the position of the space key or slides from other keys to the position of the space key, that is, even if the finger of the user is not at the position of the space key when initially pressing, as long as the pressing time of 1s can be held after sliding to the space key, the voice input is triggered. The embodiment of the invention can more conveniently input the voice of the user, particularly the voice of the visually impaired user, by a triggering mode of not limiting the finger drop point of the user.

In an example of the present invention, the step 502 of acquiring the input information input by the user through the input method panel may include: monitoring touch operation on a key on an input method panel; and when the touch operation on the key is a preset touch operation, taking the character corresponding to the key as the input information of the user.

In the embodiment of the invention, the touch operation of the keys on the input method panel is detected in real time. In an example of the present invention, the touch operation includes at least one of a pressing operation and a raising operation, and the prompt information includes at least one of a key sound effect and a key vibration.

The keyboard input is finished by keys on the input method panel, and if the preset touch operation is a pressing operation and a hand-up operation, when the touch operation pressing operation of the keys on the input method panel and the hand-up operation are monitored, characters corresponding to the keys can be used as input information of a user. Of course, other touch operations, such as a double-click operation, may be set besides the preset touch operation described above, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In one example of the present invention, the method may further include: and when the key to which the touch operation is directed changes or the operation type of the touch operation changes, triggering prompt information corresponding to the key to which the touch operation is directed.

In order to facilitate the input of a user, the embodiment of the invention is configured to trigger a key sound effect and key vibration if the change of a key corresponding to a touch operation is monitored when the user performs the touch operation on the key, for example, when the key moves from a key "a" to a key "S"; if the operation type of the touch operation is changed, such as changing from a pressing operation to a lifting operation, the key sound effect and the key vibration are also triggered.

That is, the button sound effect and the button vibration are triggered by the pressing operation, the raising operation and the change of the button currently targeted by the user. For example, when a user drops a finger and presses a certain key for the first time, the corresponding key sound effect and key vibration are triggered, then the user moves the finger to a new key when sliding selection is performed and the finger moves to other keys, the key sound effect and key vibration corresponding to the new key are triggered again, and finally the key sound effect and key vibration are triggered again when the user lifts the hand.

Step 504, obtaining a candidate item corresponding to the input information.

After the input information is acquired, candidate items corresponding to the input information can be searched in a preset word bank. Optionally, the preset lexicon may include: a user lexicon, a system lexicon, a cell lexicon, a cloud lexicon, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific lexicon.

Step 506, determining a target candidate item from the candidate items, and taking the target candidate item as a currently selected target object; and the target object is used for processing according to the corresponding user-defined function operation when the touch operation is monitored to be the designated gesture operation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target candidate item may be marked by using a focus, where the focus may be represented in the form of a cursor or a box, and may jump with the change of the target candidate item.

In an example of the present invention, the step 506 of determining a target candidate item from the candidate items may include: and taking the first candidate item in the candidate items as a target candidate item.

The first candidate item in the candidate items is usually the candidate item with the highest quality in the input process, and the probability of the user selecting the screen is high.

In one example of the present invention, the method may further include: acquiring word segmentation symbols input by a user aiming at the input information through an input method panel; forming new input information by the input information and the word segmentation symbols, and acquiring update candidate items corresponding to the new input information; step 506, determining a target candidate item from the candidate items, and using the target candidate item as the currently selected target object, may include: and determining a target update candidate item from the update candidate items, and taking the target update candidate item as a currently selected target object.

When the user inputs through the keyboard, the user may modify the input information that has been input, such as adding a word segmentation symbol to the input information, for example, assuming that the input information that has been input is "xi an", the input information becomes "xi' an" after adding the word segmentation symbol.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the user inputs the segmentation symbol, the candidate item is refreshed to obtain the update candidate item, wherein the update candidate item may be changed or may be kept unchanged, and in order to prompt the user to finish the input of the segmentation symbol normally, regardless of the change of the update candidate item, the first update candidate item is obtained from the update candidate item to be used as a target update candidate item, and is used as a currently selected target object, and the corresponding voice information is played.

In one example of the present invention, the method may further include: after the input method panel is switched to a symbol keyboard, determining the currently selected symbol keyboard; and playing the voice information corresponding to the currently selected symbol keyboard.

And if the user switches to the symbol keyboard on the input method panel, playing the voice information corresponding to the currently selected symbol keyboard. When the symbol keyboard is initially switched, the symbol keyboard is usually switched to a default symbol keyboard, and at the moment, the default symbol keyboard can be automatically selected, and corresponding voice information is played.

In practice, there may be a plurality of symbol keyboards, and if the user switches the symbol keyboards, the switched symbol keyboards are selected, and the corresponding voice message is played, for example, the "current xx symbol keyboard" (xx is the name of the keyboard, and usually only the non-number part in the name of the keyboard needs to be played).

For example, it is assumed that the symbol keypad includes a "1. common" symbol keypad, a "2. english" symbol keypad, and a "3. chinese" symbol keypad, and if the "1. common" symbol keypad is initially switched, the voice message "current common symbol keypad" is played, and within the entire input method panel, if the user switches to the "2. english" symbol keypad by, for example, a two-finger sliding operation (e.g., a two-finger left sliding operation for switching the last symbol keypad, a two-finger right sliding operation for switching the next symbol keypad) or a two-click operation, the voice message "current english symbol keypad" can be played.

Optionally, the embodiment of the present invention may further optimize the voice information corresponding to the symbol in the symbol keyboard, so that the pronunciation is more accurate and is easier for the user to perceive. In one example, the content before and after optimization of the speech information of the partial symbol may be: @: the former playing is 'Atty' and the optimized playing is 'at' which is an English pronunciation; and &: the playing is not carried out before, and the playing is 'sum symbol' after the optimization; b, ^ a: playing 'caret' at present, and playing the optimized 'caret' as a 'caret-off symbol'; "the method comprises the following steps: the former playing is 'single index reversal', and the optimized playing is 'accent symbol'; \\ comprises the following steps: the former playing is 'double reverse slashes', and the optimized playing is 'reverse slashes'. Of course, the optimization of the voice information of several symbols is only an example, and in practical use, problems may be continuously found and continuously optimized, which is not required to be limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

In one example of the present invention, the method may further include: acquiring touch operation of the user on the input method panel; and processing the candidate items according to the touch operation on the input method panel.

The designated gesture operation at least comprises one of left sliding of the double fingers, right sliding of the double fingers, upward sliding of the double fingers and downward sliding of the double fingers. When the candidate items corresponding to the input information are acquired, if touch operations such as left sliding of double fingers, right sliding of double fingers, upward sliding of double fingers, downward sliding of double fingers and the like used on the input method panel are monitored, it can be determined that the designated gesture operations are recognized, and the candidate items are processed according to the user-defined function operations corresponding to the designated gesture operations.

In an example of the present invention, a first user-defined function operation corresponding to a touch operation of the input method panel is determined, and the candidate item is processed according to the first user-defined function operation; the first user-defined function operation corresponding to the touch operation is a function operation on a candidate item corresponding to a designated gesture operation matched with the touch operation;

wherein the processing the candidate items comprises at least: acquiring a previous candidate item of the target candidate items as a new target candidate item; acquiring a next candidate item of the target candidate items as a new target candidate item; the target candidate item is displayed on a screen; after the input information is updated, obtaining a new candidate item, and taking the first new candidate item of the new candidate item as a new target candidate item; emptying the input information; acquiring a previous page candidate item corresponding to the target candidate item; and acquiring next page candidate items corresponding to the target candidate items.

In the embodiment of the invention, the corresponding user-defined function operation can be defined for the designated gesture operation in advance, and the corresponding user-defined function operation is executed when the touch operation on the input method panel is monitored to be the designated gesture operation. In one example, the "clear settings" panel of FIG. 6 may be entered, with gesture-customized options being entered for settings. Specifically, the four two-finger sliding operations of "two-finger up-sliding", "two-finger down-sliding", "two-finger left-sliding", and "two-finger right-sliding" are supported on the input method panel, and referring to the check box popup shown in fig. 7, the four two-finger sliding operations may support selection of a defined custom function operation, which may include: selecting the last candidate item; selecting a next candidate item; screen-up current candidate (target candidate); deleting a pinyin (character); emptying all pinyin (symbols); a previous page candidate item; next page candidates. When one user-defined function operation is selected by other double-finger sliding operations, the user-defined function operation is not displayed, and unnecessary troubles caused by the fact that the same user-defined function operation is set by the same double-finger sliding operation are avoided. After popping up the check box popup, a user can touch each function option (self-defined function operation) by a single finger, double-click to complete setting and automatically close the popup after selecting a target function option, and in addition, after popping up the check box popup, the user can touch a 'close' button to close the popup if not doing any setting.

In the embodiment of the invention, for the convenience of a user, default user-defined function operation is set in advance aiming at four double-finger sliding operations of 'double-finger up-sliding', 'double-finger down-sliding', 'double-finger left-sliding', 'double-finger right-sliding', for example, 'double-finger up-sliding' corresponds to a current candidate item on a screen, 'double-finger down-sliding' corresponds to deleting one pinyin, 'double-finger left-sliding' corresponds to selecting a previous candidate item, and 'double-finger right-sliding' corresponds to selecting a next candidate item.

In one example of the present invention, the method may further include: when the candidate item corresponding to the input information is not obtained, obtaining the touch operation of the user on the input method panel; and processing the input information according to the touch operation on the input method panel.

It should be noted that, in the foregoing case that the user-defined function operation related to the designated gesture operation is performed on the candidate item corresponding to the acquired input information, when the candidate item corresponding to the input information is not acquired, the input information is processed according to the touch operation.

In an example of the present invention, the processing the input information according to a touch operation on the input method panel includes: determining a second user-defined function operation corresponding to the touch operation of the input method panel, and processing the input information according to the second user-defined function operation; the second user-defined function operation corresponding to the touch operation is a function operation on input information corresponding to the designated gesture operation matched with the touch operation;

wherein the processing the input information comprises at least: moving a cursor forward on the input information; moving a cursor backward on the input information; selecting characters in the input information before the cursor; and selecting the character behind the cursor in the input information.

For convenience of setting by a user, in a case that a candidate item corresponding to input information cannot be acquired, in the embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding self-defined function operation may be set for four two-finger sliding operations, that is, "two-finger up-sliding," two-finger down-sliding, "" two-finger left-sliding, "and" two-finger right-sliding, "where the four two-finger sliding operations include" two-finger up-sliding "corresponding to forward movement of a cursor," two-finger down-sliding "corresponding to backward movement of a cursor," two-finger left-sliding "corresponding to selection of a character before the cursor, and" two-finger right-sliding.

The embodiment of the invention respectively sets the self-defined function operation aiming at the appointed gesture operation aiming at the condition that the input information has the candidate item and does not have the candidate item, so that different input operations can be respectively carried out under the condition that the candidate item and the candidate item do not exist, and the input efficiency is improved.

In one example of the present invention, the method may further include: determining the keyboard type of the input method panel; acquiring touch operation of the user on an appointed key on the input method panel; and processing the candidate items according to the keyboard type and the touch operation of the specified key.

In the embodiment of the invention, under the condition of acquiring the candidate item corresponding to the input information, the candidate item can be operated through four double-finger sliding operations, and the candidate item can also be operated through a keyboard of an input method panel. Preferably, the embodiment of the invention is directed to input method panels of different keyboard types, and the customized function operation of the keys is also different.

In an example of the present invention, the processing the candidate items according to the keyboard type and the touch operation on the specified key includes: when the input method panel is a full key panel, if the input method panel is a touch operation aiming at a comma key, acquiring a previous candidate item of the target candidate items as a new target candidate item; if the operation is the touch operation aiming at the period key, acquiring a next candidate item of the target candidate items as a new target candidate item; if the operation is the touch operation aiming at the digital switching key, acquiring a previous page candidate item corresponding to the target candidate item; if the operation is the touch operation aiming at the Chinese-English switching key, acquiring next page candidate items corresponding to the target candidate items; when the input method panel is a nine-key panel, if the input method panel is a touch operation aiming at a number switching key, acquiring a previous candidate item of the target candidate items as a new target candidate item; and if the target candidate item is the touch operation aiming at the Chinese-English switching key, acquiring the next candidate item of the target candidate items as a new target candidate item.

The keyboard type may include a full-key panel (e.g., a pinyin 26 key and an english 26 key) and a nine-key panel (e.g., a pinyin 9 key and an english 9 key). In the case of a full key panel, the space key left side "," comma keys and ". "the self-defining function operation of the period key is" the last candidate item "and" the next candidate item ", respectively; the ' 123 ' numeric switch key and the ' chinese/english switch key on the left side of the space are respectively defined as a ' previous candidate ' and a ' next candidate ', and when the nine-key panel is used, the nine-key panel only has the 123 ' numeric switch key and the ' chinese/english switch key, and can be respectively defined as a ' previous candidate ' and a ' next candidate '.

Step 508, determining the play mode of the target candidate item according to the number of characters of the target candidate item.

Step 510, playing the voice information of the target candidate item according to the playing mode.

After the candidate items corresponding to the input information are acquired, the candidate items can be presented at corresponding positions in the input method panel for the user to select. In practical application, a user can determine a target candidate item from the candidate items in a groping mode, the target candidate item is used as a currently selected target object, and corresponding voice information is played, so that whether the candidate item is the content which the user wants to input or not can be determined according to the voice information of the target candidate item.

Preferably, when the voice information of the target candidate item is played, different playing modes can be adopted according to the number of characters of the target candidate item, so as to improve the input efficiency of the user. Specifically, when the number of characters of the target candidate item is two characters and below the two characters, a first play mode of word-by-word interpretation is adopted; and if the number of the characters is more than two, adopting a second play mode of complete candidate play and character-by-character interpretation. For example, assuming that the target candidate is "experience", the first play mode will be adopted, the played voice message is "experience that is passed, the experience is history", and assuming that the target candidate is "chinese ethnicity", the second play mode will be adopted, the played voice message is "chinese ethnicity, the chinese is chinese, the chinese is magnificent china, the citizen is a citizen of people, and the ethnicity is a family of the aquarium.

The embodiment of the invention can improve the determination efficiency of the user on the actual meaning of the candidate item by playing the target candidate items with different character numbers in different playing modes, thereby improving the input efficiency of the user.
