Technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of display keyboards, and in particular, to a display keyboard, an input processing method, and an apparatus.

Background technique

[0003] With the development of electronic technology, display keyboards have been widely used in electronic devices. The display keyboard includes a virtual keyboard that is displayed on the screen and operated by touch, a virtual keyboard that interacts with a pointing device such as a mouse on a normal computer, and a physical keyboard printed on the touch panel. Limited to the actual size of the keyboard layout and people's usage habits, many devices use a streamlined keyboard layout, as shown in Figure 1, is an existing common display keyboard layout, in which multiple characters share the same input recognition area. Since the character to be input shares the same key as other characters, when the text is input, the same key sequence may correspond to a plurality of character sequences, resulting in a re-code.

[0004] Similar to the display of Fig. 1, the small space is small, the use of the single, and the application is extensive, but the high code rate is also a typical problem of the keyboard input method.

[0005] Taking the common number ^ t as an example, input the initials of "Wang Xiaoren" into w, x, r, and the keys are 9, 9, and 7, respectively, so only 997 is needed for quick retrieval. Under the existing background art, since the numeric keypad cannot distinguish the letters specifically input by the user, the contact name of the first letter of the name pinyin in the order of 9, 9, 7 will be retrieved, and 997 corresponds to "wxyz""tvu". For the "pqrs" key, the order of candidate results may be: "Wu Xiaoshan, (wxs), "Zhongzhongqi" (xzq), "Yu Yongsheng" (yys), "Wang Xiaoren" (wxr), "Wu Xiaoping "(wxp) and so on, and the only contact that the user really needs is "Wang Xiaoren" (wxr). When there are a large number of contacts in the phone, this method of retrieving contacts through the numeric keypad encounters multiple search results. The situation is very common, its candidate results It is often only sorted according to the code input by the user combined with the word frequency. It is not possible to preferentially locate the user's real input target. At this time, the user needs to input more characters to filter the search result or need to manually scroll the selection, which is cumbersome.

[0006] For example, when using this keyboard to input text, for example, to input "fat" with pinyin, you need to input the key 3 where a is located and the key 2 where a is located. Then, the alternative pinyin includes da and fa. Alternative words include "bar, put, dam, law, hair, lack", etc. Obviously, such input methods cannot accurately distinguish whether the user is entering d or entering fa.

[0007] It can be seen that the traditional display keyboard shares the keypad between characters. When the input method based on the numeric keypad is implemented, the sequence of letters corresponding to the same ^ ^ column is more, resulting in a high rate of repetition, and the candidate word sorting does not meet user expectations. , the word selection is inefficient.

Or underline a button to indicate that the user only wants to enter one character from the keyboard.

[0090] Step 1502: Determine the input content according to the input contact sequence, combined with the mother key area and the sub-key area position in the display keyboard.

[0091] wherein, when the user clicks or scribes on the display keyboard, the user touches an input contact on the display keyboard, and determines whether the sensing area of the contact is on the mother key area. In the keypad, when the sensing area of the contact is in the sub-key zone, receiving the sub-key The identification character in the area and the identification character of the mother key area where the sub-key zone is located are used as input contents.

[0092] when the sensing area of the input contact is in the non-sub-key area of the female key area, if the identification area is set in the area other than the sub-key area of the female key area, the identification character As the input contact content, enter the identification character. For example, in the display keyboard embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the mother key area 302 includes three sub-key areas, and each of the sub-key areas has its own identification character, and the mother key area 302 has three sub-key areas. The identification character "2" is also provided in addition to the identification character. When the user clicks or traverses the area other than the three sub-key areas on the mother key area 302, the identification character "2" is taken as the input content.

[0093] wherein, when the interaction moves across a gap area between the two mother key areas and is provided with the identification character, the identification character in the gap area is input. For example, in the display keyboard embodiment shown in FIG. 15, the gap area between the female key area 304 and the female key area 305 is provided with the identification character "?", and when the user clicks or strokes the gap area, the identification character is " ? " as input.

[0094] The step 1502 can be specifically implemented by the following method:

[0095] determining, according to the input contact sequence, a mother key area identification character sequence and a sub-key area identification character sequence corresponding to the input contact sequence;

[0097] wherein, the first input content is determined according to the parent key area identification character sequence, and the second input content is determined according to the sub keypad area identification character sequence.

[0098] The correspondence between the character of the jL and the mother key area and the sub-key area can be preset according to need or automatically switched according to the input scene according to a specific rule. As shown in Figure 4, the keypad can represent any character in the button by default. In the simple text input interface, the number can be ignored. In the simple digital input interface, click on any of the key areas. Numbers can be entered in the position or subkey area, and simple letters can be ignored. In other cases, in the same input operation, specific characters are used to input different contents at the same time.

[0099] For example, in the embodiment of the display keyboard shown in FIG. 4, the user clicks on the mother key area 304 and the mother key area 308, and the user's click position is in the sub-key area of the identification character "g" and the identification character "t". Receiving, according to the input contact sequence corresponding to the click position, and determining, according to the input contact sequence, a parent key area identification character sequence and a sub-key area identifier corresponding to the input contact sequence The character sequence is readable, and the parent key area identifies the character sequence as "4ghi" and "8tuv", and the sub-key area identifies the character sequence as "g" and "t", and the input content is determined according to the two sets of identification character sequences. When the user input environment is a digital input environment, the input content is "48". When the user input environment is a text input environment, the input content is a text or a word that identifies the composition of the character "g" and the identifier character "t", and the input content is "common" or "individual", etc., and is selected by the user. The final input can be determined. When the user input environment is an input letter input environment, the input content is "gt". When the user is in the address book retrieval environment (such as a separate address book search interface, dial-up environment with address book search function, etc.), "48" is used as the first input content to retrieve the number of the address book, and "gt" is used as The second input content is used for name retrieval of the address book. As can be seen from the present embodiment, the present invention utilizes the characteristics of the mother key area and the sub-key area to simultaneously perform number entry, retrieval, and fast and accurate location of contacts.

[0100] It can be seen from the above that the present invention provides an input processing method for a display keyboard, which is used in Embodiment 1 of the display keyboard of the present invention. The display keyboard sets an independent input recognition area for the identification characters, and passes the content input. Accepting the input contact sequence of the user on the display keyboard, and combining the position of the female key area and the sub-key area in the display keyboard and the identification characters thereof to determine the input content, and the order of the candidate words is more when the user inputs the content. In line with the user's real input intention, it can quickly locate the character to be input, effectively reducing the re-encoding rate and speeding up the input speed.

[0101] Referring to FIG. 18, which is a flowchart of Embodiment 2 of an input processing method for a display keyboard provided by the present invention, Embodiment 2 of the present invention is used for displaying a keyboard of the present invention, and the keyboard includes at least one input. An identification area, wherein the input identification area is a female key area, and the female key area is provided with at least one identification character, which is at least one identification character or at least one character combination composed of multiple identification characters An independent character recognition area is allocated, and the independent character recognition area is a sub-key area, and the method may include:

[0102] Step 1601: Receive a sequence of input contacts of the user on the display keyboard.

[0103] Wherein, when the user performs character input, the user may input a character to be input by touching or swiping through the touch screen, and may input a character to be input by a mouse click or a mouse over the display screen.

[0104] The input contact sequence refers to a sequence consisting of a user's click or swipe position when the user clicks or swipes the display keyboard.

[0105] Step 1602: Determine the distance between the input contact sequence and the sub-key zone in combination with the position of the mother key area and the sub-key area in the display keyboard. [0106] wherein, after receiving the input contact sequence of the user in the step 1601, combining the position of the female key area and the sub-key area in the display keyboard, the input contact sequence and each sub-key area on the keyboard The distance is calculated, and the sub-key areas corresponding to the input contact sequence are sorted according to the large distance.

[0107] Step 1603: Determine a sub-key zone sequence with the smallest distance from the input contact sequence, and take the identification character corresponding to the sub-key zone sequence with the smallest distance as the input content.

[0108] wherein, after obtaining the sequence of the sub-key region corresponding to the macro-dissociation in the step 1602, determining a sequence of sub-key regions in the sequence of the sub-key region that is the smallest distance from the input contact sequence, and The identification character corresponding to the smallest sub-keyfield sequence is taken as the input content.

[0109] For example, referring to FIG. 19, the user inputs content in the display keyboard embodiment in FIG. 4. When the user's click position is in the click position 1701 and the click position 1702, the two click positions are first received as input touches. According to the input contact sequence and the display keyboard in FIG. 4, the distance between the sub-key area on the keyboard and the click position 1701 and the click position 1702 are respectively determined, and the two groups are sorted according to the distance from the click position. a sequence of subkey regions, according to which the sequence of subkey regions having the smallest distance from the click position 1701 and the click position 1702 is determined, that is, the identifier character "d", the identifier character "1", and the minimum distance of the J key The identification character corresponding to the subkey sequence is used as the input content. The method of calculating the distance may depend on the position and size of the sub-key zone, such as the distance between the contact and the geometric center of the sub-key zone, the distance from the center of the character, the distance from the edge of the sub-key zone, or the specificity of the and characters. The distance of the point, etc., for the input by the dash gesture, the distance can also be based on the gesture path and the specific position of the sub-key zone (such as the edge line, the center point or the specific identification point, etc.), the gesture path and the sub-key The intersection relationship of the zones, the input parameters are the parameters obtained by the turning points near the subkey zone. The "distance" here indicates a parameter related to the location of the user interaction position and the subkey area, and is not limited to a specific calculation result corresponding to a specific calculation method.

[0110] It can be seen from the above that the input processing method of the display keyboard provided by the present invention calculates the sub-key area with the smallest distance corresponding to the input contact sequence of the user, and uses the identification character of the sub-key area sequence as the input content. Therefore, when the user blurs the click display keyboard, the content to be input can be effectively obtained, the re-code rate is lowered, and the input speed is improved.

[0111] Referring to FIG. 20, which is a flowchart of a third embodiment of an input processing method for a display keyboard according to the present invention, Embodiment 3 of the present invention is based on Embodiment 1 of the method of the present invention, and is used for displaying a keyboard of the present invention. The step 1801 is the same as the method in the first embodiment of the method of the present invention. The method described in step 1501 is the same, and is not described here. The method may further include:

[0112] Step 1802: Generate a candidate word according to the input contact sequence in combination with a preset vocabulary.

[0113] Wherein, the thesaurus is preset, and the thesaurus includes characters and common words. After the input contact sequence received in the step 1801, the candidate words are generated by combining the thesaurus.

[0114] Step 1803: Acquire a matching degree of the candidate word and the input contact sequence according to an input contact sequence and a position of a corresponding sub-key zone corresponding to the candidate word.

[0115] Step 1804: Sort the candidate words according to the matching degree, and determine the input content.

[0116] For example, in the display keyboard embodiment of FIG. 4, when the user wants to input "hu", the female key area 304 and the female key area 308 are pressed on the display keyboard, and the specific position of the key is close to the identification character" h" and the subkey area where the character "u" is identified, then the first matching pinyin combination includes gu and hu, and then the matching degree of "gu" and "hu" and the user interaction position is calculated according to the user's button position, The calculation method of the matching degree includes the evaluation of the interaction position and the center distance of the button, the similarity of the path when the line is input, etc., and it can be judged that the matching degree of "hu" is higher than "gu", so the pinyin "hu" will be preferred. Input content. At the same time, when the word input is performed, the interaction position and the sub-key area relationship, the word frequency and the like can be weighted to obtain the matching degree of the ^^ word selection, for example, although the user clicks on "hu", sorts by position. The best input result is "hushi" (nurse, neglect, Shanghai stock market), but after combining word frequency weighted sorting, it is possible to obtain a sequence of candidate words (Shanghai stock market, stock market, story, neglect) that takes into account the position of the button and the word frequency. The input is determined based on the user's subsequent selection. This embodiment adopts the coding input method (usually determining the recode candidate words by input coding), and the processing is simpler and the method is similar for the input of English words without coding query.

[0117] It can be seen from the above that the present invention provides an input processing method for a display keyboard, which combines a vocabulary with a user's input contact sequence and displays a positional relationship between a mother key area and a sub-key area on a keyboard. The input contents corresponding to the point sequence are sorted, and the input content or candidate words closest to the content to be input are obtained, thereby improving the word selection efficiency, reducing the re-code rate, and increasing the input speed.
