Description

一种输入方法、 输入装置和终端设备 技术领域
本发明涉及通讯技术领域, 尤其涉及一种输入方法、 输入装置和 终端设备。 背景技术
随着社交网站的兴起, 越来越多的年轻人青睐使用手持设备访问 facebook, twitter 等社会性网格服务 SNS ( Social Networking Services ) 网站发布消息。 因此在手持设备上进行简单快速的输入越来越重要。
而随着硬件技术水平的不断提高, 多数新面世的手持设备釆用了 全触摸显示屏的屏幕设计,机身前面板往往只有一块触摸显示屏和少数 几个按键, 虽然界面简洁了很多, 但是由于取消了实体输入按键, 输入 方式和以往有很大的不同。如图 1所示,现有的触摸屏输入法技术是釆 用手持设备屏幕的下端虚拟软键盘进行输入,虚拟软键盘显示在输入区 域, 用户在输入区域使用虚拟软键盘进行输入, 然后输入法将联想出来 的词语显示在选词分区, 用户单击选词分区中的词语进行输入,选择以 后的内容将显示在显示区域,这种输入方式一定程度上的模拟了原有使 用硬件键盘的输入方式。 而即使是实体键盘, 市场所见手持设备产品也 都将实体键盘设置于产品的下端, 通常呈矩形分布。
在现有的手持设备的使用过程中, 发明人发现现有技术中至少存 在如下问题:
使用现有输入法进行输入时, 用户通常单手持握手持设备, 并使 用该手大拇指进行输入, 某些区域内选择内容的时候, 由于大拇指不能 触摸到, 需要另外一只手握住手持设备, 这样会破坏用户的输入体验, 尤其在使用大屏手持设备的时候, 用户很难进行单手输入。 而且, 现有 的输入方式一定程度降低了输入速度,增加了手指的疲劳度, 降低了用 户体验。 发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种输入方法、 输入装置和终端设备, 能够 解决现有的输入方式输入速度低, 用户体验差的问题。
为达到上述目的, 本发明的实施例釆用如下技术方案: 一种输入方法, 包括以下步骤:
通过触摸显示屏提供输入界面, 其中, 所述输入界面包括虚拟软键 盘,所述虚拟软键盘分布于围绕所述输入界面的左下角或右下角的扇形 区域;

显示所述输入指令对应的输入信息。 一种输入装置, 包括:
输入单元, 用于通过触摸显示屏提供输入界面, 其中, 所述输入界 面包括虚拟软键盘,所述虚拟软键盘分布于围绕所述输入界面的左下角 或右下角的扇形区域;
接收单元, 用于接收用户通过所述输入单元输入的输入指令; 显示单元,用于显示所述接收单元接收的输入指令所对应的输入信 息。 一种终端设备, 包括输入装置, 所述输入装置为本发明实施例提供 的输入装置。
釆用了上述技术方案后, 本发明实施例提供的输入方法、 装置和 终端设备,由于虚拟软键盘分布在围绕输入界面的左下角或右下角的扇 形区域内而使输入操作可集中在用户转动拇指所覆盖到区域内,易于用 户的点击, 方便用户在持握设备的同时进行输入操作, 因此提高了用户 的输入速度, 有效降低手指的疲劳度, 明显提升了用户的输入体验。 附图说明

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图, 对本发明实施例中的技术方 案进行清楚、 完整地描述。
应当明确, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是 全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有做 出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范 围。
本发明实施例提供了一种输入方法, 如图 2所示, 包括以下步骤:
51 1 , 提供输入界面, 其中, 所述输入界面包括输入键盘, 所述输 入键盘分布于围绕所述输入界面的左下角和 /或右下角的扇形区域。
其中,输入界面还可包括显示区域,用于显示用户最终的输入信息。 本发明实施例中, 对于全触摸显示屏的设备来讲,输入界面是指用户进 行输入时,全屏或非全屏呈现在触摸显示屏上、与用户互动的输入界面; 而对于实体键盘的设备来讲,输入界面是指用户进行输入时的、设备上 设置有实体键盘和显示屏的表面。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中, 分布于所述扇形区域的输入键盘 可以是用于触摸显示屏的虚拟软键盘,也可以是实体硬键盘,还可以是 虚拟软键盘和实体硬键盘的混合键盘, 本发明对此不作限定。
512 , 接收用户通过所述输入键盘输入的输入指令。
步骤 S 12 中, 用户可通过触摸或点击输入键盘中的任意一个按键 下发输入指令。
513 , 显示所述输入指令对应的输入信息。 以手机为例, 依照大多数用户使用手机的习惯来讲, 进行输入时, 用户通常以右 /左手握持手机, 右 /左手大拇指根部卡持固定在手机机身 的右 /左下角, 并通过右 /左手大拇指点击键盘进行输入。 当然, 在手机 较大时或者习惯使然, 用户也会用双手持握手机, 左手和右手的大拇指 根部分别卡持在手机的左右下角,通过右手大拇指或左手大拇指或双手 进行输入。 无论用户釆用何种方式, 输入时, 输入界面上用户转动大拇 指所能覆盖到区域内即为用户容易触摸的区域。 以右手输入为例,如图 3所示, 输入界面上, 用户转动右手大拇指所能覆盖的区域为用户容易 触摸的区域, 即用户保持大拇指根部固定、仅需移动或转动大拇指就可 以触摸的区域。 而对于不容易触摸的区域, 若用户想要进行触摸, 需要 改变右手的持握姿势或者借助于左手。
在使用上述手机时, 当用户右手持握手机时, 则在用户转动右手大 拇指所能覆盖的区域中设置输入键盘,即所述输入键盘分布于围绕所述 输入界面的右下角的扇形区域; 当用户双手持握手机时, 可以同时在用 户转动右手大拇指所能覆盖的区域和用户转动左手大拇指所能覆盖的 区域中设置输入键盘,所述输入键盘分布于围绕所述输入界面的左下角 的扇形区域和围绕所述输入界面的右下角的扇形区域,这里围绕所述输 入界面的左下角的扇形区域和围绕所述输入界面的右下角的扇形区域 可以是不重合的, 也可以是部分重合的。
基于上述分析, 本发明实施例中, 在 S 1 1 步骤, 所提供的输入键 盘分布在围绕输入界面的左下角和 /或右下角的扇形区域内,且优选的, 输入键盘的大小和位置与用户进行输入操作时,用户输入所用手指的位 置和活动范围相适应。也就是说,输入键盘可集中在用户转动输入用手 指所覆盖到区域内,即输入按键全部处于用户输入用手指可以碰触到的 有效区域, 易于用户的触摸和点击,避免了用户在其不容易触摸到的区 域的输入操作, 而且用户可使用单手进行输入, 无需改变手势或借助另 外一只手。这样, 本发明实施例提供的输入方法能够提高用户的输入速 度, 有效降低手指的疲劳度, 因此, 能够明显提升了用户的输入体验。
以下以所述输入键盘为虚拟软键盘为例进行详细说明。这时, S 1 1 步骤具体为: 通过触摸显示屏提供输入界面, 其中, 所述输入界面包括 虚拟软键盘, 所述虚拟软键盘分布于围绕所述输入界面的左下角和 /或 右下角的扇形区域。 S 12步骤具体为接收用户通过所述虚拟软键盘输入 的输入指令。 可选的, 图 4至图 6示出了 S 1 1 步骤中提供的几种输入界面, 其 中, 图中扇形阴影部分代表虚拟软键盘对应的扇形区域,输入界面的上 方区域为显示区域。 图 4的输入界面,虚拟软键盘分布于围绕输入界面 的右下角的扇形区域, 适用于右手输入的用户; 图 5的输入界面, 虚拟 软键盘分布于围绕输入界面的左下角的扇形区域,适用于左手输入的用 户; 图 6的输入界面,虚拟软键盘同时分布于围绕输入界面的右下角的 扇形区域和左下角的扇形区域, 适用于双手输入的用户。 步骤 S 1 1中, 可提供图 4至图 6中任意一种方式的输入界面。 可选的, 在本发明的一个实施例中, 步骤 S 1 1 中所提供的输入界 面中,虚拟软键盘在扇形区域的分布可如图 7所示,虚拟软键盘包括在 所述扇形区域内由外向内依次分布的扇环状按键条,所述按键条上分布 有按键。具体的 ,每个及各扇环状按键条上按键的形状可相同也可不同 , 且形状不限, 可以为图 8所示的矩形状, 也可为图 9所示的三角形状, 还可以为不规则多边形状等其它形状, 例如星形状。 图 8和图 9中的箭 头表示用户输入时, 手指从一个按键移动到另外一个按键的移动轨迹。 如图 8所示, 当按键条上按键为矩形状时, 用户输入时, 手指是平行移 动的, 而图 9所示的三角形状按键, 一方面, 相对于矩形状按键, 相同 面积区域的按键个数增加, 另一方面, 用户输入时, 手指移动时键程变 短了, 而且由于在切换按键的时候, 手指不再是平行移动, 而是增加了 手指屈伸的动作, 在短时间训练以后, 用户更容易记忆和使用这种移动 方式。 因此, 按键条上按键优选呈三角形状。
用户使用单手大拇指输入时, 该拇指根部靠近于输入界面的右 /左 下角处,显然,根据拇指的屈伸程度,在虚拟软键盘对应的扇形区域中, 最接近拇指根部的区域是用户不容易触摸的区域,位于扇形区域中部的 区域是用户最容易触摸的区域,位于扇形区域最外层的区域是用户较容 易触摸的区域。 因此, 按照用户触摸的难易程度, 进一步的, 在本发明 的一个实施例中, 如图 10所示, 步骤 S 1 1中所提供的输入界面中, 虚 拟软键盘可包括选词分区、 字符按键分区和功能按键分区; 可选的, 所述选词分区包括所述扇形区域最外侧的一个或多个扇环状按键条;所 述字符按键分区包括所述扇形区域中部的一个或多个扇环状按键条,所 述字符按键分区与所述选词分区相邻;所述功能按键分区包括所述扇形 区域中最内侧的一个或多个扇环状按键条,所述功能按键分区与所述字 符按键分区相邻。
其中, 选词分区用于放置提供给用户的备选词条。 可选的, 选词分 区仅在需要放置提供给用户备选词条时才出现在虚拟软键盘中,未有选 择词条时, 虚拟软键盘中的选词分区可空白, 也可显示为空白的扇环。 而字符按键分区用于放置用户的输入指令所对应的各种字符,是用 户输入时,触摸频率最高的区域。 功能按键分区则用于放置使用频率低 的功能按键, 例如菜单键, 中 /英文切换键等。
可选的, 在本发明的一个实施例中, 步骤 S 1 1 中所提供的输入界 面中, 虚拟软键盘也可以只包括选词分区和字符按键分区; 其中, 选词 分区分布于扇形区域最外侧的扇环内,所述选词分区包括一个或多个扇 环状按键条; 字符按键分区分布于扇形区域最内侧的扇形区或扇环内, 所述字符按键分区包括一个或多个扇环状按键条,字符按键分区与选词 分区相邻。
图 1 1示出了图 10中虚拟软键盘的具体示例, 如图 1 1所示, 选词 分区空白; 在字符按键分区中, 按照现有全键盘的分布规律, 全键盘的
Q-P键所形成的扇环状按键条在字符按键分区外层, A-L键形成的扇环 状按键条在字符按键分区中层, Z-M 键形成的扇环状按键条在字符按 键分区内层; Shift、后退键和标点符号切换键等功能按键放置在功能按 键分区中。
可选的, 步骤 S 13 可包括: 在输入界面的显示区域中显示用户输 入指令对应的输入信息; 或者,在虚拟软键盘的选词分区中显示用户输 入指令对应的输入信息, 例如, 通过汉语拼音输入时, 选词分区中将显 示汉语拼音所对应的多个汉字或词语, 以供用户进行选择。
具体的,当在虚拟软键盘的选词分区中显示用户输入指令对应的输 入信息时, 步骤 S 13具体可有两种显示方式。 其一, 如图 12所示, 步 骤 S 13可以具体包括:
5131 , 根据所述输入指令, 确定所述输入指令对应的备选词条;
5132 , 按照所述备选词条的使用频率由高到低的顺序, 将所述备 选词条依次显示在所述选词分区的中间至两端。
其中, 备选词条在选词分区的分布具体可如图 13所示, 数字 1至 10 代表使用频率由高到低的备选词条在选词分区的位置。 按照用户拇 指默认屈伸程度, 图 13中 1 和 2 是最容易被触碰的位置, 用户在备 选词条对应的输入指令输入结束后拇指恢复放松状态下的屈伸位置,通 常为 1和 2的位置,这样用户基本不需要再次移动手指就可以进行选词 , 进一步提高了输入速度, 并提升了用户体验。
或者, 其二, 如图 14所示, 步骤 S 13可以具体包括:
S 131 ' , 根据所述输入指令, 确定所述输入指令对应的备选词条;
S 132' , 根据所述输入指令所对应的最后一次按键的位置, 将使 用频率最高的备选词条显示于所述选词分区中距离所述最后一次按键 的位置的最近处。 例如, 当用户完成第一个词语输入以后, 如: 用户输入 " chang e" , 在输入第二个 c字符以后, 将使用频率最高的备选词条 "长城" 这个选 项显示在选词分区中距离当前输入键 c 键最近的位置处。 如果用户继 续输入字母 i, 此时, 使用频率最高的备选词条为 "场次" , 这时, 将 "场次" 这个选项显示在选词分区中距离当前输入键 i 最近的位置 处。
其中,备选词条的使用频率可以是预先设定的, 也可以是用户的使 用过程中动态统计的。 具体地,在选词分区中显示的备选词条, 包括与输入指令对应的备 选单字和备选联想词语中的至少一种 ,备选单字和备选联想词语可同时 显示, 也可分别显示。 进一步的, 在显示输入指令对应的输入信息于选 词分区后, 本实施例的输入方法还可包括: 接收用户的选词分区显示方式指令;
根据所述用户的选词分区显示方式指令,在所述选词分区内仅显示 所述输入指令对应的备选单字或备选联想词语。
其中,所述选词分区显示方式指令可为所述用户手指按住所述选词 分区的规定位置的单方向滑动; 可选的, 如图 15所示, 用户在通过选 词分区选取目标词条时, 可以通过按住选词分区的滚动条逆时针滑动, 使选词分区仅显示备选单字; 按住选词分区的滚动条顺时针滑动,使选 词分区仅显示备选联想词语。 反之亦可。 需要说明是, 本发明实施例中, 输入指令对应的备选单字或备选联 想词语是指, 以拼音输入汉字为例, 用户输入拼音后, 即用户下发输入 指令, 与该输入指令对应的备选单字为与该拼音对应的单个汉字, 与该 输入指令对应的备选词语为与以该拼音对应的汉字为首的常用词语 ,例 如输入拼音 "mei" , 备选单字可包括: "没, 每, 美…… " 等单字, 备选词条可包括: "没有, 没想到, 每天, 美丽, 美好 ... ... " 等联想词 语。
本发明实施例提供的输入方法, 通过对虚拟软键盘的位置和分布 进行优化设计,虚拟软键盘可集中在用户转动手指所覆盖到区域内, 易 于用户的点击, 方便用户在持握设备的同时进行输入, 用户可使用单手 进行输入, 无需改变手势或借助另外一只手, 而且, 虚拟软键盘集中在 用户易于点击的区域内, 能够提高用户的输入速度,有效降低手指的疲 劳度, 因此, 明显提升了用户的输入体验。
进一步地, 由于不同用户的输入手指的长度不同, 因此, 用户转动 输入用手指所覆盖的区域不同, 用户在使用本实施例提供的输入方法 时, 为了进一步提升用户的体验, 本实施例的输入方法还可以包括: 接收用户对所述虚拟软键盘的初始化指令; 其中, 所述初始化指令 为用户的拇指在保持拇指根部固定在靠近所述输入界面的左下角或右 下角的位置处, 以所述拇指根部为圓心, 在所述输入界面上的滑动; 根据所述虚拟软键盘的初始化指令,确定所述虚拟软键盘在所述输 入界面上的分布区域,所述分布区域为以所述初始化指令对应的轨迹为 边界, 以所述拇指根部靠近的、所述输入界面的左下角或右下角为顶点 的扇形区域。
例如, 如图 16所示, 用户下发初始化指令时, 右手拇指根部固定 在靠近所述输入界面的右下角的位置处, 拇指围绕拇指根部进行滑动, 拇指滑动所覆盖的区域即为用户拇指易于触摸的区域; 这样, 就能够根 据不同用户自身的拇指长度及使用习惯等,对虚拟软键盘进行初始化设 置, 而获得最适合该用户使用的虚拟软键盘。
另外, 为了保证虚拟软键盘的正常使用, 本实施例的输入方法, 可 预先设置虚拟软键盘的最小半径。在接收用户对所述虚拟软键盘的初始 化指令后, 本实施例的输入方法还可包括:
根据初始化指令对应的曲线半径以及虚拟软键盘需要的最小半径 确认出实际虚拟软键盘对应的扇形区域的大小,并通过确定的扇形区域 的大小来计算出其中各个按键的大小。
如果初始化指令对应的曲线半径小于所述预先设置的最小半径,则 以预先设置的最小半径为虚拟软键盘所对应的扇形区域的半径。
进一步的, 当输入完毕后或需要退出输入界面时, 本实施例的输入 方法还包括:
接收用户的关闭指令, 其中, 所述关闭指令可为用户手指沿所述虚 拟软键盘的扇形区域的外侧弧线边界的滑动, 例如, 如图 17所示, 所 述关闭指令为用户手指沿所述虚拟软键盘的扇形区域的外侧弧线边界 逆时针的滑动; 根据所述关闭指令, 关闭所述输入界面。 这样, 用户对输入界面的关闭操作方便, 易于实施, 进一步提升用 户的体马全。
需要说明的是,本实施例中用于关闭指令的滑动操作与前述实施例 中用于初始化指令的滑动操作相互独立互不影响。它们的滑动方向可以 同为顺时针方向滑动或同为逆时针方向滑动,或者一个釆用顺时针方向 滑动, 另一个釆用逆时针方向滑动, 本发明对此不作限定。
相应地, 本发明的实施例还提供了一种输入装置, 如图 18所示, 包括:
输入单元 301 , 用于通过触摸显示屏提供输入界面, 其中, 所述输 入界面包括虚拟软键盘,所述虚拟软键盘分布于围绕所述输入界面的左 下角或右下角的扇形区域;
接收单元 302 , 用于接收用户通过输入单元 301输入的输入指令; 显示单元 303 , 用于显示通过接收单元 302接收的输入指令所对应 的输入信息。
其中,输入单元 301提供的输入界面还可包括显示区域, 用于显示 用户最终的输入信息。 本发明实施例提供的输入装置, 虚拟软键盘分布在围绕输入界面 的左下角或右下角的扇形区域内, 因此,虚拟软键盘可集中在用户转动 手指所覆盖到区域内, 易于用户的点击, 用户可使用单手进行输入, 无 需改变手势或借助另外一只手, 而且,虚拟软键盘集中在用户易于点击 的区域内, 能够提高用户的输入速度, 有效降低手指的疲劳度, 因此, 明显提升了用户的输入体验。
具体的,在本发明的一个实施例中,输入单元 301提供的虚拟软键 盘包括在所述扇形区域内由外向内依次分布的一个或多个扇环状按键 条, 所述按键条上分布有按键, 所述按键呈三角形、 或矩形或不规则多 边形状, 本发明对此不做限制, 优选的, 按键可以为三角形状。
进一步的,在本发明的一个实施例中, 输入单元 301提供的所述虚 拟软键盘包括选词分区、 字符按键分区和功能按键分区; 其中, 选词分 区包括所述扇形区域最外侧的一个或多个扇环状按键条;字符按键分区 包括所述扇形区域中部的一个或多个扇环状按键条,所述字符按键分区 与所述选词分区相邻;功能按键分区包括所述扇形区域中最内侧的一个 或多个扇环状按键条, 所述功能按键分区与所述字符按键分区相邻。
由于所述扇形区域中部的一个或多个扇环状按键条,为用户输入用 手指最易触摸的区域,扇形区域最外侧的一个或多个扇环为用户拇指较 易触摸到的区域,用户在字符按键分区和选词分区中进行输入操作与在 其它区域进行输入操作相比,有利于减轻用户手指的疲劳程度; 而所述 扇形区域中最内侧、与字符按键分区相邻的扇形区靠近用户输入用手指 根部, 为用户最不容易触碰的区域, 应尽量减少用户在此区域的操作, 因此, 功能按键分区设置于这部分区域, 这样, 这部分区域中只设置一 些不常用到的按键, 如菜单键等, 从而进一步提升了用户体验。
可选的,输入单元 301提供的虚拟软键盘也可以只包括选词分区和 字符按键分区; 其中, 选词分区分布于所述扇形区域最外侧的扇环内, 所述选词分区包括一个或多个扇环状按键条;字符按键分区分布于所述 扇形区域最内侧的扇形区或扇环内,所述字符按键分区包括一个或多个 扇环状按键条, 所述字符按键分区与所述选词分区相邻。
其中,接收单元 302用于接收用户的输入指令。用户可通过触摸或 点击虚拟软键盘中的任意一个按键下发输入指令,用户的输入指令通过 接收单元 302进行接收以进行进一步的处理。
当用户进行输入时, 根据接收单元 302接收到的输入内容的不同, 显示单元 303 可以将用户输入指令对应的输入信息直接显示在输入界 面的显示区域(例如用户输入英文字母时), 也可以先将备选词条显示 在输入单元 301提供的选词分区中(例如输入汉字时)供用户进一步选 择,用户可以直接点击相应备选词条而使该备选词条显示在输入界面的 显示区域中。
进一步的, 如图 19所示, 显示单元 303可具体包括:
确定模块 303 1 , 用于根据所述输入指令, 确定所述输入指令对应 的备选词条;
显示模块 3032 , 用于按照所述备选词条的使用频率由高到低的顺 序, 将所述备选词条依次显示在所述选词分区的中间至两端;
可选的, 显示模块 3032还可以根据所述输入指令所对应的最后一 次按键的位置,将使用频率最高的备选词条显示于所述选词分区中距离 所述最后一次按键的位置最近处。
这样, 当显示单元 303在所述选词分区中显示备选词条后, 用户在 备选词条中进行选择时,基本不需要较大范围的移动手指就可以轻松进 行选词, 使用户更舒适, 进一步提升了用户体验。
需要说明的是,显示单元 303显示在所述选词分区的、用户的输入 合。 当显示单元 303将备选单字或备选联想词语显示在选词分区后, 用 户可以直接点击相应备选单字或备选联想词语而使该备选单字或备选 联想词语显示在输入界面的显示区域中。 为了进一步的提升用户体验,在显示单元 303显示所述输入指令对 应的输入信息于所述选词分区后:
接收单元 302还用于接收用户的选词分区显示方式指令;
显示单元 303还用于根据接收单元 302接收到的选词分区显示方式 指令,在所述选词分区内仅显示所述输入指令对应的备选单字或备选联 想词语。
具体的,所述选词分区显示方式指令可为所述用户手指按住所述选 词分区的规定位置的单方向滑动。例如, 用户只需用拇指按住选词分区 的滚动条并滑动, 顺时针滑动显示备选联想词语,逆时针滑动显示备选 单字, 相应的显示方式就会在选词分区显示。 前文已经做过详细说明, 此处不再赘述。 这样, 用户可以下达不同的选词分区显示方式指令, 以选择用户需 要的选词分区显示方式, 进一步提升了用户的体验。
进一步的,在本发明的一个实施例中,接收单元 302还用于接收用 户对所述虚拟软键盘的初始化指令; 具体的, 所述初始化指令为用户的 拇指在保持拇指根部固定在靠近、输入单元 301提供的输入界面的左下 角或右下角的位置处, 以所述拇指根部为圓心,在所述输入界面上的滑 动;
这时, 如图 20所示, 本实施例的输入装置还包括初始化单元 304 , 用于根据接收单元 302接收的所述初始化指令,确定所述虚拟软键盘在 所述输入界面上的分布区域,所述分布区域为以所述初始化指令对应的 轨迹为边界, 以所述拇指根部靠近的、所述输入界面的左下角或右下角 为顶点的扇形区域。输入单元 301将按照初始化单元 304确定的分布区 域, 提供位于输入界面的虚拟软键盘。
这样, 本发明实施例提供的输入装置, 能够根据不同用户自身的输 入用手指长度及使用习惯等,对虚拟软键盘进行初始化设置, 而获得最 适合该用户使用的虚拟软键盘, 进一步提升了用户的体验。
另外,在本发明的一个实施例中,接收单元 302还用于接收用户的 关闭指令, 具体的, 所述关闭指令为用户手指沿所述虚拟软键盘的扇形 区域的外侧弧线边界的滑动;
如图 21 所示, 输入装置还包括关闭单元 305 , 用于根据接收单元 302接收的关闭指令, 关闭输入单元 301提供的输入界面。 这种关闭方式, 同样可以避免用户点击键盘以外的区域,便于单手 操作, 有利于提升用户体验。
相应的, 本发明实施例还提供了一种终端设备, 该终端设备包括: 触摸显示屏, 外壳, 电路板, 还包括本发明上述实施例中所有输入装置 的任意一种; 所述触摸显示屏安置在所述外壳上, 所述电路板安置在所 述外壳内部; 所述电路板(一般是印刷电路板)上设有处理器, 所述输 入装置设置于所述处理器中,本发明实施例的终端设备通过该处理器对 通过所述触摸显示屏输入的数据进行处理, 和 /或将处理后的数据结果 通过所述触摸显示屏输出。 需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中, 所述输入装置设置于所述处理器 中意为所述输入装置的全部单元 /模块或者部分单元 /模块设置在所述 处理器中。
