Background

With the development of electronic device technology, the technology of input method as a bridge between users and electronic devices is also rapidly developed. A user may input various characters into the electronic device through an input method.

Currently, when a user inputs a uncommon word into an electronic device for the first time, the user needs to determine each character included in the uncommon word one by one. For example, taking a rarely-used word including a plurality of rarely-used words as an example, in a group chat interface, if a rarely-used word appears in the chat content sent by the user a and the user B also needs to input the rarely-used word in a reply message, the user B needs to query the pinyin of each rarely-used word in the rarely-used words and determine each rarely-used word one by one when inputting the pinyin so as to input the rarely-used word.

Therefore, the operation process of inputting the uncommon vocabulary by the user is complicated, and the input efficiency is low.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. The objects distinguished by "first", "second", and the like are usually a class, and the number of the objects is not limited, and for example, the first object may be one or a plurality of objects. In addition, "and/or" in the specification and claims means at least one of connected objects, a character "/" generally means that a preceding and succeeding related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The input method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof.

The input method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the following scenes:

in the scene 1, when a user inputs a rarely-used word for the first time, the user needs to query the pinyin of each rarely-used word in the rarely-used words, and when the pinyin is input, each word in the rarely-used word is determined one by one.

And 2, when the user inputs a rarely-used word, the user can trigger the electronic equipment to be switched to a handwriting input method, and the rarely-used word is input through handwriting operation on the electronic equipment.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an input method, which may include steps 101 to 103 described below.

Step 101, under the condition that the target interface comprises the target uncommon vocabulary, the electronic equipment adds the target uncommon vocabulary to a uncommon vocabulary library.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target interface is an interface for displaying a target uncommon word. Specifically, the target interface may be a chat interface of the electronic device (e.g., a chat interface of a chat group), a content reading interface (e.g., an interface for reading an article through a browser, a reader, editing software, etc.), and the like. The determination can be specifically carried out according to the actual use requirement. The following embodiments are exemplified by a chat interface in which the target interface is a group.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the target uncommon words refer to words that are rarely used or difficult to input by using a common input method. The target uncommon word can be a word in Chinese or any other language. The specific uncommon target words can be any one of the following: rarely used Chinese characters, rarely used professional terms, rarely used words in other languages, and the like. The determination may be specifically performed according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited.

It should be noted that, the way for the electronic device to identify the uncommon word of the target in the target interface can refer to the following detailed description in step 104, which is not repeated herein.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the uncommon vocabulary library may be a rarely-used vocabulary library based on a certain application program, may also be a rarely-used vocabulary library set by a certain user, and may also be a rarely-used vocabulary library based on only a current target interface. Specifically, one way is: in the case that the electronic device recognizes that the target interface includes the target uncommon word, a uncommon word library (which can be used for adding all the uncommon words in the interface) can be created based on the target interface, and the target uncommon word can be added to the uncommon word library. The other mode is as follows: in the case where the electronic device recognizes that the target interface includes the target uncommon vocabulary, the electronic device may also add the target uncommon vocabulary to an already existing uncommon vocabulary library, wherein the uncommon vocabulary library may be user-based or application-based. The determination may be specifically performed according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited.

Step 102, the electronic device receives a first input for inputting a target encoding string in a target interface.

The target code character string is associated with the target uncommon word.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the target code string is used to indicate the target uncommon word. Specifically, the target encoding character string may have different encoding modes based on different input methods. Specifically, the target encoding string may be any one of: pinyin related to the target uncommon vocabulary, the first letter of the pinyin related to the target uncommon vocabulary, stroke codes related to the target uncommon vocabulary and the like. For example, assuming that the target uncommon word is "generate", then the code string of the associated pinyin is "chi chu"; the first letter code string of the associated pinyin is 'cc'; the associated five-stroke code string is "TTTH FHK". The specific coding mode of the coding character string is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the application, and the target coding character string associated with the target uncommon vocabulary can be determined according to the coding mode associated with the actually used input method.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input user inputs the target encoding character string in the target interface. Specifically, the first input may be an input for inputting a target encoding string by voice, and the content of the voice is used for indicating the target encoding string; the first input may also be an input for manually inputting the target encoding character string by a preset input method. The input mode of the target code character string is not specifically limited, for example, the input can be performed on the target interface through a physical keyboard by a user; the virtual keyboard may also be input in the target interface after the user triggers the electronic device to display the virtual keyboard in the target interface, and the like, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited.

Step 103, the electronic equipment responds to the first input and displays M candidate words associated with the target code character string.

The M candidate words comprise the target uncommon word determined from the uncommon word library, and M is a positive integer.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the M candidate words are words associated with a target edit string, and the M candidate words may include words belonging to the uncommon word library (for example, a target uncommon word) and words not belonging to the uncommon word library (for example, a first candidate word in the following embodiments).

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the manner in which the electronic device determines the M candidate words may be: the electronic equipment compares the rarely-used vocabulary library with the universal input method vocabulary library in sequence according to the received target coding character string; then, the electronic equipment forms M candidate words by the target uncommon word which is determined from the uncommon word library and is associated with the target coding character string and a plurality of first candidate words which are determined from the universal input method word library and are displayed in the candidate area. Wherein, the candidate area can be used to display the M candidate vocabularies for the user to select.

For example, assuming that the code string of the pinyin input by the user is "chi chu" (i.e., the target code string), the electronic device may display "sweet" obtained from matching in the uncommon vocabulary library, and "eat", "brush", and "hesitate " obtained from matching in the universal input method vocabulary library, etc. in the candidate area of the target interface. In this manner, the electronic apparatus can display 4 candidate words (i.e., M is equal to 4) associated with the target code string "chi chu" for "dividend", "stull", and "hesitate " in the candidate area, thereby facilitating the user to select the word that the user needs to input.

For example, fig. 2 is an operation diagram of the electronic device displaying the uncommon word. As shown in fig. 2 (a), the electronic device 001 currently displays a chat interface 002 (i.e., a target interface) of the plum and the queen, and after detecting that the target uncommon word "porthole book" exists in the chat content in the chat interface 002, the electronic device 001 may add the "porthole book" to the uncommon word bank. The user smallish needs to reply in the chat interface, as shown in fig. 2 (b), after the user can input the character string "ffdd" (i.e., the target code character string) in the message reply field 006, the electronic device 001 displays words associated with "ffdd" in the candidate area 007, such as: "Fundao", "Fuliduo", "outgoing", and "legal", etc., wherein "Fundao" is the target uncommon word obtained by matching "ffdd" with the uncommon word library. Thereafter, the user can select a word desired by the user in the candidate region 007 for input.

The embodiment of the application provides an input method, under the condition that a target interface comprises a target uncommon word, the target uncommon word is added to a uncommon word library; receiving a first input of a target code character string associated with the target uncommon word input in the target interface; and in response to the first input, displaying M candidate words associated with the target encoded string, the M candidate words including the target uncommon word determined from the uncommon word library, M being a positive integer. By the method, the electronic equipment automatically identifies the target uncommon vocabulary in the target interface, adds the target uncommon vocabulary to the uncommon vocabulary library, and then triggers the electronic equipment to display M candidate vocabularies comprising the target uncommon vocabulary by inputting a target coding character string associated with the target uncommon vocabulary if the user needs to input the target uncommon vocabulary. Compared with the related technology, the method does not need to determine each uncommon word in the uncommon vocabulary one by one after the user inputs the target coding character string, so that the uncommon vocabulary can be input quickly and conveniently, and the input experience of the user is improved.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 3, before the step 101, the input method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 104.

And step 104, under the condition that the preset conditions are met, the electronic equipment identifies uncommon words in the target interface.

Wherein the preset conditions include at least one of the following conditions: receiving preset input of a user for a target interface; reaching a preset identification time interval; the target interface receives every message.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the preset condition is that a preset input of the user for the target interface is received, which means that the electronic device is triggered to recognize the uncommon word in the target interface when the input of the user for the target interface is received by the electronic device as the preset input. The preset input can be physical key input to the electronic equipment, and the physical key is used for triggering the electronic equipment to identify a uncommon word in a target interface; the preset input can also be voice input of a user, and the content of the voice input is used for indicating the electronic equipment to identify a uncommon word in the target interface; the preset input may also be a touch input to a target interface of the electronic device, where the touch input may be any one of: single click, double click, long press, sliding according to a preset trajectory, etc. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not particularly limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the preset condition that the preset recognition time interval is reached means that the electronic device recognizes the uncommon vocabulary in the target interface according to the preset time period, that is, the electronic device automatically starts recognizing the uncommon vocabulary in the target interface when the time interval associated with the preset time period is reached. If the interface of the electronic device is updated in real time, the automatic identification may be to identify the updated content, or to identify the entire interface. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not particularly limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the application, the preset condition is that each time the target interface receives one message, that is, each time the currently displayed target interface receives one message, the electronic device automatically detects the content of the message to identify the uncommon vocabulary, and under the condition that the uncommon vocabulary is identified, the electronic device can directly add the uncommon vocabulary to the uncommon vocabulary library. It should be noted that, in order to reduce the workload of detecting by the electronic device, the electronic device may determine a message received at the latest time, and detect a word uncommon to the content of the message. Therefore, under the condition that the target interface receives one message every time, the content of the message is subjected to rarely-used word recognition, the detection period can be further shortened, and the real-time performance of rarely-used word detection is better.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the manner in which the electronic device identifies the uncommon word in the target interface may be specifically implemented by the following step a and step B.

Step A, the electronic equipment identifies all vocabularies in the target interface and matches original code character strings associated with all the vocabularies with preset code character strings associated with a word bank of a user input method.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in the process of matching the original code character string with the preset code character string associated with the user input method lexicon, the matching may be performed according to a preset matching priority, and the preset matching priority may be set according to a use habit, a grammar structure habit, a vocabulary formation habit, and the like of a tool user. The embodiments of the present application are not particularly limited.

And step B, the electronic equipment determines the vocabulary of which the original code character string is not matched with the preset code character string as the target uncommon vocabulary.

It should be noted that the essence of the above identification process is: whether each vocabulary can be rapidly input through a user input method lexicon or not, and if not, the vocabulary is a target rarely-used vocabulary. Namely, the original coded character string associated with each vocabulary is compared with the preset coded character string associated with the same vocabulary in the user input method lexicon, and the vocabulary is determined to be the target uncommon vocabulary under the condition that the original coded character string is not matched with the preset coded character string.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the electronic device compares the primary encoding string "fldd" associated with "FulingDang" in the chat interface with the preset string "fulongdd" in the user input method thesaurus (where "fldd" is associated with "Fulingduo" in the user input method thesaurus). When the 'fldd' in the user input method word bank is not associated with the 'porthole dictionary' (namely the original coding character string is not matched with the preset coding character string), the electronic equipment determines the 'porthole dictionary' as the target uncommon word and can add the target uncommon word into the uncommon word bank.

It can be understood that the electronic device can identify the uncommon vocabulary in the target interface and add the identified target uncommon vocabulary to the uncommon vocabulary library when preset conditions such as preset input of a user for the target interface is received, a preset identification time interval is reached, or the target interface receives a message and the like are met. Therefore, the user can determine the trigger mode for identifying the target interface according to the actual use requirement, so that convenience is brought to the user, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 4, M candidate words are displayed in the candidate area; the target uncommon vocabulary comprises S uncommon vocabularies, the M candidate vocabularies comprise the S uncommon vocabularies and M-S first candidate vocabularies, the M-S first candidate vocabularies do not belong to the uncommon vocabulary library, S is a positive integer, and S is less than or equal to M. After the step 103, the input method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 105 and 106.

Step 105, the electronic device receives a second input of the first target uncommon word in the S uncommon words.

In the embodiment of the present application, the S uncommon words are the uncommon words associated with the target code string determined from the uncommon word library. The M-S first candidate words are words which are matched from other word libraries except the uncommon words and are associated with the target code string. Wherein, the other vocabulary library can be any one of the following items: user vocabulary library, input method vocabulary library, universal vocabulary library, etc. As exemplified above in FIG. 2, the target code string "ffdd" may be associated in a obscure vocabulary library: "Secondary vault classical" and "happiness family" (i.e., S2, including two target uncommon words) are associated in a universal vocabulary library: "how much welfare", "sent", and "legal", etc. (i.e., M-5, M-S-3, i.e., the three first candidate words).

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the candidate area is an area where the electronic device displays a plurality of candidate words after the user inputs the encoded character string. E.g., candidate region 007 in fig. 2, etc. It should be noted that the candidate area may be displayed independently with a certain area of the target interface, or may be displayed together with the input method keyboard (as in the display mode in fig. 2). The specific display position and the display mode may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second input is used to determine the first target uncommon word from the S uncommon words. Specifically, the first input may be a touch input of a first target uncommon word in the S approved words under the condition that the S uncommon words are displayed by the electronic device. The first input may also be a touch input to a first identifier of the S identifiers when the electronic device displays S identifiers associated with the S uncommon words (one identifier is associated with each uncommon word), and the electronic device determines the uncommon word associated with the first identifier as the first target uncommon word in response to the touch input. The touch input may be any one of the following: single click, double click, long press, drag according to a preset trajectory, etc. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the application is not particularly limited.

And 106, responding to the second input by the electronic equipment, and displaying the first target uncommon word in an input box of a target interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the input box of the target interface is an input box in which the user can input reply content, and the user can edit the input content in the input box and then send the edited content. For example, the input box of the target interface may be specifically the message reply bar 006 shown in (b) in fig. 2, or the like.

It should be noted that displaying the first target uncommon word in the input box of the target interface can facilitate the user to confirm again whether the input content is the content required by the user, and can perform re-editing operation on the content in the input field, thereby facilitating the user to use.

It is understood that, in the case that the target uncommon vocabulary includes a plurality of uncommon vocabularies, the electronic device may display the plurality of uncommon vocabularies and the first candidate vocabulary in the candidate area, and the user may select the first target uncommon vocabulary from the plurality of uncommon vocabularies, thereby triggering the electronic device to display the first target uncommon vocabulary in the input field of the target interface. That is, when the target uncommon vocabulary includes a plurality of uncommon vocabularies, the user can manually select the first target uncommon vocabulary required by the user, so that the first target uncommon vocabulary required by the user can be more quickly and accurately input.

Optionally, referring to fig. 5 in conjunction with fig. 1, the target encoding string includes a first string and a second string, the first string is used to indicate a candidate word matching the target string, the second string is used to indicate a target contact, and the target contact is one of the contacts in the target interface. The "displaying M candidate words associated with the target code string" in step 103 described above can be specifically realized by the following steps 103a and 103 b.

Step 103a, the electronic device determines M candidate words according to the first character string.

In this embodiment, the second character string is used to indicate that one of the contacts is included in the target interface. Specifically, the second character string may be any one of: a nickname for the indicated contact, a phone number for the indicated contact, a string identification for the indicated contact, etc.

Illustratively, assume that the target interface is a group chat interface including user a, user B, and user C, user a mentions "porthole" in a piece of chat content, and user B mentions "porthole" in a piece of chat content. Then the user may enter the target code string as "ffdd-a", where the first string is "ffdd" to indicate the target uncommon word and the second string is "— a" to indicate the target contact user a.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the determining M candidate vocabularies according to the first character string means that the electronic device matches the first character string with the uncommon vocabulary library and other vocabulary libraries to obtain M candidate vocabularies meeting the requirement. The M candidate words may include uncommon words. The second character string is used for rapidly determining the target uncommon vocabulary from the plurality of uncommon vocabularies according to the historical chat records of the target contact, namely the historical chat records of the target contact comprise the target uncommon vocabulary.

And step 103b, the electronic equipment determines the target uncommon vocabulary from the M candidate vocabularies according to the second character string and displays the target uncommon vocabulary.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the specific way for the electronic device to determine the target uncommon word from the M candidate words according to the second character string may be: the electronic equipment firstly determines M candidate words from a uncommon word library according to the first character string (wherein the M candidate words can comprise a plurality of uncommon words); then, the electronic device may detect all the chat records of the target contact indicated by the second character according to the second character, and further determine a target uncommon word belonging to the M candidate words from the chat records.

Illustratively, assume that the target interface is a group chat interface including user a, user B, and user C, user a mentions "porthole" in a piece of chat content, and user B mentions "porthole" in a piece of chat content. If the user can enter the target code string as "ffdd-A", where the first string is "ffdd" to indicate the target uncommon word and the second string is "-A" to indicate the target contact user A. Then, the electronic device may filter "gallery allusion" and "happiness allusion" for "ffdd" according to the first character string, and then compare the "ffdd" associated target uncommon vocabulary of "gallery allusion" from the chat records of the user a according to the second character string "-a". Subsequently, the electronic device can display the target uncommon word as "portugal" after determining the target uncommon word.

It is understood that the electronic device may indicate M candidate words matching the target character string according to the first character string, and then the electronic device determines the target uncommon word from the M candidate words according to the second character string and displays the target uncommon word. Therefore, the electronic equipment can quickly and accurately determine the target uncommon vocabulary from the candidate vocabularies according to the target contact person and display the target uncommon vocabulary, so that the electronic equipment is convenient for users to use.

Optionally, referring to fig. 1, as shown in fig. 6, the target uncommon vocabulary includes S uncommon vocabularies. The step 103 may be implemented by the following steps 103c and 103d, and the step 103c and the step 103d are alternatively executed.

Step 103c, the electronic equipment responds to the first input, and under the condition that the target uncommon vocabulary comprises M uncommon vocabularies, the electronic equipment displays the M uncommon vocabularies according to the first sequencing rule.

Wherein the first ordering rule comprises at least one of: the use frequency of the uncommon vocabulary associated with the target coding character string in the target interface; sending time of the uncommon vocabulary associated with the target code character string in the target interface; and target priority of the obscure vocabulary associated with the target code character string in the target interface.

It should be noted that the target priority may be determined by other contents than the uncommon word in the target content. For example, words other than uncommon words, symbols (e.g., "@", "&" below), expressions, etc. in a sentence.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first ordering rule is a usage frequency of the uncommon vocabulary associated with the target code string in the target interface, and means that the electronic device may set a display order of the M uncommon vocabularies according to the usage frequency of the uncommon vocabulary. Wherein, the display order can be directly proportional to the use frequency or inversely proportional.

For example, assuming that "Suanjudo" appears 3 times and "Fuludian" appears only 1 time in a certain chat interface, the electronic device may display "Suanjudo" at a first location in the candidate area and "Fuludian" at a second location next to the first location when the user inputs that the target string is "fldd". Wherein, the left position of the candidate area is the position for displaying the vocabulary with higher use frequency.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the sending time of the uncommon vocabulary associated with the target code string in the target interface indicates that the electronic device may set the display sequence of the M uncommon vocabularies according to the sending time of the content including the uncommon vocabulary. The display order may be a priority display in which the reception time is later, a later display in which the reception time is earlier, or a display in which the reception time is reversed.

Illustratively, assume that user A sends content that includes "Secondary Advance" five minutes ago in a chat interface; if "happiness, salary, etc. is included in the content sent by the user B one minute ago, then, when the user inputs that the target character string is" fldd ", the electronic device may display" happiness, salary, etc. at the left position of the candidate area and "happiness, salary, etc. at the right position. The left position of the candidate area is used for displaying the vocabulary which is closest to the current time and is matched with the target character string.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target priority of the uncommon vocabulary associated with the target code character string in the target interface refers to a priority that the electronic device can determine according to other contents in the target content except the uncommon vocabulary, and set a display order of the M uncommon vocabularies. The target content may be a sentence or a piece of content sent by a user, and the target content includes the target uncommon word. The target priority may be determined by whether a preset priority flag is included in the target content, and if the preset priority flag is included, the target uncommon word in the sentence is preferentially displayed. The preset priority identification user can set according to actual use requirements, for example, the preset priority identification user can be "@", "&" and the like.

For example, assuming that in a certain chat group, one chat record of the user a is "little lie," you recommend today, and the vault name you say last time is good at @ ", the electronic device may include a preset priority identifier" @ "according to the sentence, and when the user inputs the target character string as" fldd ", the electronic device may display a high-priority target uncommon word" vault name "in a left position of the candidate area, where the left position of the candidate area is used for displaying a higher-priority word in words matched with the target character string.

Step 103d, the electronic device responds to the first input, and displays the S uncommon words and the M-S first candidate words according to a second sorting rule under the condition that the target uncommon words comprise S uncommon words and the M candidate words comprise S uncommon words and the M-S first candidate words.

The display rule of the S uncommon words is a first sorting rule, the second sorting rule is that the S uncommon words are displayed in a first area, the M-S first candidate words are displayed in a second area, and the first area and the second area are different display areas.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, reference may be made to the detailed description about the first sorting rule in step 103c for a specific sorting manner for displaying the M-S first candidate words according to the first sorting rule, which is not described herein again.
