It should be noted that one glove body 110 may be used as an input device, or two glove bodies 110 may be used together as an input device, which is not limited by the present invention.

In the present invention, a glove body 110 is taken as an input device, and the glove body 110 is worn by the left hand as an example, the comparison table corresponding to the pen order code input method is shown in table 2, and the comparison table corresponding to the five-key english input method is shown in table 3, which is not repeated here. As can be seen from tables 2 and 3, the above-mentioned strokes include horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling and folding. The instructions comprise a Tab instruction, an input method switching instruction, a cursor forward one character instruction, a cursor backward one character instruction and a determining instruction. The characters described above include five sets of characters abcde, fghij, klmno, pqrst and uvwxzy.

Next, in step S520, the processing unit 120 searches the comparison table for information corresponding to the current value as input information, and transmits the input information to the display unit 130. In one embodiment, the processing unit 120 searches the comparison table for information corresponding to the current value as the input information, and the step of transmitting the input information to the display unit 130 includes:

determining the type of the currently used input method (the type of the input method comprises a stroke order code input method or a five-key English input method), and searching a comparison table corresponding to the type of the input method, wherein the type of the input method comprises a stroke order code input method and a five-key English input method. And searching information corresponding to the current value in the found comparison table, wherein the found information comprises characters, strokes and instructions. And judging the type of the searched information, if the searched character is the character, defining the cursor position as the first character position of the input information by taking the searched character as the input information, and sending the input information and the cursor position to the display unit 130. If the searched information is a stroke order, the searched stroke order is used as input information, and the input information is transmitted to the display unit 130. If the searched information is an instruction, the searched instruction is executed in the input information determined last time, and the input information determined last time after the instruction is executed is transmitted to the display unit 130.

Finally, in step S530, the input information is displayed by the display unit 130.
