For example, the automatic word recommendation function may estimate the frequency of use of the corresponding word according to the result of the comparison, compare the similarity between arbitrary words, determine the word most similar to the input word, and automatically change the word.

A syllable according to various embodiments of the present disclosure is a unit constituting one sound and may be a unit for processing character input according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. According to various input languages, a unit for processing a character input may be a unit of any character, such as a character, a syllable, or a word.

1A and 1B are diagrams illustrating an example of a screen according to an operation of processing a word input in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure;

Referring to FIG. 1A , the screen 110 provided by the electronic device for text input may include a keypad area for inputting text and a text display area for displaying the input text. The keypad area may include character keys for inputting characters and special keys such as space or backspace.

For example, the user may sequentially input m, u, h, a, n as an example of the character keys. Accordingly, 'muhan' may be displayed on the screen 110 according to the input order.

When a preset delimiter (eg, space) is input after detecting that at least one character key is input, the electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure performs an automatic word recommendation function for the input 'muhan'. can For example, the automatic word recommendation function may include a function of recommending a word most similar to the corresponding input word and changing or correcting the input word to the recommended word when the input word is not previously registered in the dictionary. have.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the automatic word recommendation function may be deactivated according to a speed at which a corresponding word is input.

For example, when a preset delimiter (eg, a space) is input after a word is input faster than a preset speed, the electronic device may execute an automatic word recommendation function. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the word ‘muhan’ may be changed or modified to be displayed as ‘human’, which is most similar to ‘human’ in a preset dictionary.

For example, when a preset delimiter (eg, a space) is input after a word is input slower than a preset speed, the electronic device may deactivate the automatic word recommendation function. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, even if the word 'muhan' is not included in the preset dictionary, it may be displayed while being maintained as 'muhan' in the same way as the input character.

Referring to FIG. 1B , according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when detecting that a long touch input of a specific key is detected, the electronic device may provide a zoom UI (user interface) function that enlarges and shows the periphery of the corresponding key. have. For example, when the user long touches the corresponding key 121 to input 'H', the electronic device may display the screen 122 in which the periphery of the 121 key is enlarged, and the current user's input A falling point 121a may be displayed on the enlarged screen 122 .

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, one of the keys (eg, 'F', 'G', 'H', 'J', and 'K') displayed on the enlarged screen 122 corresponds to a character to be input. If there is no key, the user may touch and input again a key corresponding to a character to be inputted in the keypad area. In this case, the electronic device may convert the enlarged screen 122 into a screen that enlarges and displays the periphery of the key input by the user for a long time.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, while a gesture (eg, drag) is input through the enlarged screen 122 , a specific key (eg, 'F', 'G', 'H', 'J' or ' When the gesture input is released in K′), the electronic device may control to display a character corresponding to the key from which the gesture input is released, and control not to display the enlarged screen 122 .

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, as the electronic device provides an enlarged UI, the user may accurately check the position of the character even on a small screen.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, it has been exemplified that an enlarged screen is provided as an example of the enlarged UI, but other various visual effects such as speech balloons may be possible.

2 is a screen illustrating an example of a screen according to a word recommendation operation in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

Referring to screen 210 of FIG. 2A , the electronic device may perform an automatic word recommendation function as a preset delimiter (eg, space) is input after a wkar 211 is input by the user.

For example, the wkar 211 is a word that is not predefined in advance and an automatic word recommendation function may be performed. Accordingly, as a word similar to the wkar 211, 'else', 'wise', 'what', It can be recommended in the order of 'rise' and then 'wide'.

Referring to screen 220 of FIG. 2 (b), in the electronic device, wkar (221) is input like wkar (211) by the user, but at least one of the characters (consonants or vowels) constituting the wkar (221). It is possible to determine the user's input behavior from For example, the input behavior of the user may be an operation of long-touch inputting the at least one character for a preset time or longer.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the w (221a) of the wkar (221) is a character that satisfies a preset condition (eg, a touch input for a long time longer than a set time) in which the user's input behavior is set, and the corresponding character is underlined. to distinguish it from other characters. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may determine that the 'w' 221a in which the user's input behavior satisfies a preset condition is a character designated not to perform the automatic word recommendation function. For example, the electronic device may perform an automatic word recommendation function by limiting the word 'w' to a word including 'w' at the position where the 'w' 221a is input. That is, the electronic device may perform an automatic word recommendation function for a word composed of four letters in which the first letter starts with ‘w’. For example, as the automatic word recommendation function is performed on a word composed of four letters beginning with 'w' among recommended words similar to the input word, the word wise, what, and wide are similar to the wkar 221 in the order of wise, what, and wide. can be recommended as

When using the automatic word recommendation function on the touch-based keypad of an electronic device, the smaller the screen, the more difficult it may be to input accurately. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when performing the automatic word recommendation function, the electronic device excludes characters that satisfy a preset condition in the user's input behavior and performs the automatic word recommendation function for the remaining characters, so that candidate words is reduced, and accordingly, it may be easier for the user to recommend a word suitable for the intention.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation of processing a word input in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3 , in operation 310 , the electronic device may detect that one or more characters (jamos or syllables) for inputting a word are input, and determine the user's input behavior simultaneously with the input of characters (jamos or syllables). For example, since the input language is English, the characters may be input in units of characters.

In operation 320, the electronic device may determine whether a preset identifier is input. For example, the preset delimiter may be a character code or character, not a set of characters supported by the currently set language. For example, the delimiter may be a delimiter such as a space, an enter, or a tab, a number or a symbol, and other characters constituting another language. As a result of the check, when the delimiter is not input, the electronic device may perform operation 310 again.

As a result of the check, if it is confirmed that the identifier is input, the electronic device may determine whether to deactivate the automatic recommendation function based on the user input behavior in operation 325 . For example, the electronic device may deactivate the automatic recommendation function when a user's input behavior (eg, one or more characters are long-touched) corresponding to the preset duration of the input or the size of the touched area is confirmed. For example, if, as a result of operation 310, the recorded user's input behavior does not satisfy a preset condition, in operation 330, the electronic device may maintain an activated automatic recommendation function or may activate an inactive automatic recommendation function.

In operation 330, the electronic device may determine whether the automatic recommendation function is deactivated.

When the automatic recommendation function is deactivated, in operation 340 , the electronic device may determine to display the input word as it is in operation 310 .

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when the touch input input in operation 310 is touched with an area greater than or equal to a preset value, when it is detected as a preset gesture, when it is maintained for more than a preset time, or when a preset Even in the case of contact with a pressure greater than or equal to a value, the electronic device may determine to display the input word as it is.

When the automatic recommendation function is activated, in operation 350 , the electronic device may generate a set of word candidates most similar to the input word within a predetermined word recommendation candidate. For example, when a first word is input in operation 310, the first word includes a first character and a second character, and a preset user input behavior for the first character and the second character is confirmed can be assumed. In this case, the set of word candidates similar to the first word may include words including each of the first letter and the second letter at the same position.

In operation 360, the electronic device may display the preferentially input character by replacing it with a candidate word. Also, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may further display a word candidate having a priority next to the displayed word according to an additional user gesture (eg, swipe).

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for processing a character input in an electronic device includes an operation of determining at least one input behavior related to the input when at least one character is input, and a preset identifier Upon input, the method may include an operation of determining whether to deactivate a function of automatically recommending at least one word similar to the input word based on the determined input behavior.

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in the method of processing a text input in an electronic device, when at least one preset user input behavior for the at least one text is confirmed, the inputted word remains unchanged. An operation of outputting to be displayed may be further included.

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in a method of processing a character input in an electronic device, it is confirmed that a first word including a first character and a second character is input, and the first character and the second character When a user's input behavior is confirmed for can do. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one input behavior includes at least one of a time in which a touch is maintained for input, a touch pressure, a touched area, and a type of a gesture.

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the method of processing a text input in an electronic device further includes an operation of outputting the input word to be displayed as it is when the touch for the input is maintained for more than a preset time. may include

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in a method for processing a text input in an electronic device, when a touch for the input is touched with a pressure equal to or greater than a preset value, outputting the input word so that it is displayed as it is. may include more.

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in a method of processing a text input in an electronic device, when a touch for input touches an area greater than or equal to a preset value, outputting the input word so that it is displayed as it is. may include more.

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the method of processing a text input in an electronic device further includes outputting the input word to be displayed as it is when a preset behavior is detected in the touch for the input. can do.

For example, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in the method of processing a character input in an electronic device, when the touch to the keypad area is maintained for a preset time or longer, the touched keypad area or the touched keypad area is previously The method may further include an operation of enlarging and displaying more than a set value.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation of processing a word input in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 4 , in operation 410 , the electronic device detects that one or more characters (jamos or syllables) for inputting a word are input, and records the user's input behavior simultaneously with the input of characters (jamos or syllables). For example, since the input language is English, the characters may be input in units of letters.

In operation 420, the electronic device may determine whether a preset identifier is input. As a result of the check, when the delimiter is not input, the electronic device may perform operation 410 again.

As a result of the check, if it is confirmed that the identifier is input, the electronic device may determine whether to deactivate the automatic recommendation function based on the user input behavior in operation 425 . For example, the electronic device may deactivate the automatic recommendation function when a user's input behavior (eg, one or more characters is long-touched) corresponding to the preset duration of the input or the size of the input region is confirmed. For example, if, as a result of operation 410, the recorded user's input behavior does not satisfy a preset condition, in operation 430, the electronic device may maintain the activated automatic recommendation function or may activate the deactivated automatic recommendation function.

In operation 430, the electronic device may determine whether to deactivate the automatic recommendation function.

When the automatic recommendation function is deactivated, in operation 440 , the electronic device may determine to display the input word as it is in operation 410 .

When the automatic recommendation function is activated, in operation 450 , the electronic device may determine whether adjustment of a word recommendation candidate in the dictionary is necessary.

For example, when the user's input behavior is confirmed with respect to at least one of the input consonants or vowels, in operation 460, the electronic device may adjust the target range according to the input behavior among word recommendation targets comparable to the input word. For example, when at least one character including the input behavior of the user is identified among the input characters, the at least one character for which the input behavior is confirmed may be excluded from the word recommendation target. In addition, it may be considered as a range of a target for performing an automatic recommendation function on a word including characters excluded from the word recommendation target.

On the other hand, when the user's input behavior is not confirmed with respect to at least one of the input consonants or vowels, the electronic device may select a comparable word recommendation target based on the input characters in operation 470 .

In operation 480, the electronic device may generate a set of word candidates most similar to input characters within a predetermined word recommendation candidate.

In operation 490, the electronic device may replace the input text with a candidate word and display it. Also, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may further display a word candidate having a priority next to the displayed word according to an additional user gesture (eg, swipe).

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen according to an operation of processing a word input in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. After a word is input through an input interface (eg, a touch keypad) in the electronic device, when a separator 501 (eg, a space) is input, an automatic word recommendation function may be performed.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 5 , it is assumed that the user has input 'gangnam' (511). Thereafter, when a preset delimiter (eg, space 501) is input, as an automatic word recommendation function is performed, 'gangnam' 511 may be automatically changed to 'hangman' 512. For example, the 'gangnam' 511 is a proper noun, and when a word not registered in the dictionary is input as described above, it may be changed or modified to a word registered in the dictionary most similar to the input word. Accordingly, the user can perform an additional action to re-enter the originally intended 'gangnam' 511. (For example, the additional action may include an operation of deleting an automatically changed word and re-entering a word intended by the user or an operation of deactivating an automatic word recommendation function.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may further determine the user's input behavior when inputting a word. Referring to FIG. 5 (b), for example, when at least one character (eg, Jamo) constituting the 'gangnam' 521 is input, it is sensed that at least one character is touched for a long time longer than a preset time. If the input time of all input words exceeds the preset time, even if a preset delimiter (eg, space 501) is input, the electronic device maintains the content of 'gangnam' 521 as it is and 'gangnam' ' (522) can be controlled to be displayed. That is, even though the electronic device confirms that the delimiter is input after inputting the word, if the user's input behavior satisfies a preset condition, the electronic device may deactivate the automatic word recommendation function for the confirmed word.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen according to an operation of processing a word input in an electronic device, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure; After a word is input through an input interface (eg, a touch keypad) in the electronic device, when a delimiter is input, an automatic word recommendation function may be performed.

Referring to FIG. 6A , it is assumed that the user has input 'ricket' 611 . Thereafter, when a space is tapped, as the automatic word recommendation function is performed, 'ricket' 611 may be automatically changed to 'ticket' 612 . For example, the 'ricket' 611 is a word not registered in the dictionary, and may be displayed after being changed or modified to a 'ticket' 612, which is a word registered in the dictionary most similar to the input word.

On the other hand, the user may have incorrectly entered ‘o’ as ‘i’ and originally intended to input ‘rocket’. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the user may determine a user input behavior (eg, a long touch input) for 'r' 621a. Thereafter, when a preset delimiter (eg, space) is input, the electronic device checks a user input behavior for 'r' 621a, and the 'ricket' among words including the 'r' 621a as the first character.
