Description

Method and device for adjusting input method window

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular, to an adjustment method and apparatus for an input method window.

Background technique

With the development of science and technology, information technology products such as computers and mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's lives. Through computers or mobile phones, it is possible to browse news, shopping, or communication without leaving home. Among them, human-computer interaction is an indispensable operation to achieve the above functions. In order to realize human-computer interaction, various input method software (hereinafter referred to as input method) emerges as the times require. When the user needs to input information to the system, the text information can be input through the input method.

In the prior art, when the user inputs text in the text input box, the input method window that is started will follow the cursor position in the text input box, which will block the pull-down index menu of the text input box.

For example, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a “text input interface” in the prior art, a text input box in the interface, a pull-down index column of a text input box, an input information display window of an input method window, and an index of an input method window. The positions of the windows are shown in Figure 1.

As can be seen from Figure 1, when the user inputs text in the text input box, the input method window always obscures the pull-down index column of the text input box, so that the user cannot see all the index information related to "Hangzhou". Obviously, the existence of the occlusion situation may cause the user to miss the index information that meets his needs, and only input the complete index information by continuing to input the text in the text input box, thereby causing the user's input efficiency to be low.

Continuing with FIG. 1 as an example, assuming that the user in FIG. 1 prevents the information in the index column from being occluded, the user can move the input method window so that the position of the input method window can not block the index column information of the text input box, and then input the text. The index bar information of the box is all displayed, as shown in Figure 2.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an input method window without obscuring a text after a user manually drags an input method window in the prior art. Schematic diagram of the index bar information of this input box. Comparing Fig. 2 and Fig. 1, it can be seen that in Fig. 2, manually dragging the input method window to the position of the dotted line can prevent the information in the index column of the text input box from being occluded.

However, in the actual application scenario, since the input method window is followed by the cursor movement in the text input box, even if the input method window is manually dragged, the input method window will still be restored as shown in FIG. 1 when the user inputs the next word. The state of the display, so the user needs to constantly drag the input method window, thereby affecting user input efficiency and reducing the user experience.

detailed description

The technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope are the scope of the present application.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example

In order to solve the problem that the information occlusion affects the input efficiency in the existing input method window, the embodiment of the present application first provides an input method window adjustment method. The implementation flow chart of the method is shown in FIG. 3, and mainly includes the following steps:

Step 31: Monitor whether a first transparency adjustment trigger event occurs;

In an embodiment, the first transparency adjustment triggering event may be, but is not limited to, one or more of the following events:

No information is input to the input method window within the first specific length of time after the information is input to the input method window;

Information is input to the input method window;

The display content in the specific page area where the input method window is located changes;

The text input box where the cursor is currently located is a search information input box;

The distance between the input method window and the text input box where the cursor is located is less than a certain distance threshold.

Step 32: When monitoring the occurrence of the first transparency adjustment trigger event, adjust the transparency of the input method window so that the display content below the input method window is visible through the input method window.

Wherein, when the visibility of the display content through the input method window is positively correlated with the transparency of the input method window, if the display content is not visible through the input method window when the first transparency adjustment trigger event occurs, the increase may be increased by The method of inputting the transparency of the window so that it is visible through the input method window; conversely, when the visibility of the display content through the input method window is negatively correlated with the transparency of the input method window, if the first transparency adjustment trigger event occurs The display content is not visible through the input method window, so it can be made visible through the input method window by reducing the transparency of the input method window.

In the embodiment of the present application, the transparency of all areas of the input method window may be adjusted, or only the transparency of the partial area of the input method window may be adjusted. In particular, when the input method window includes the input information display window and the index window, adjusting the transparency of the partial area of the input method window may include: only adjusting the transparency of the index window, and not adjusting the transparency of the information display window.

By adopting the above method provided by the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the transparency adjustment trigger event, the appropriate transparency adjustment of the input method window can make the input method window not block the pull-down index menu such as the text input box, thereby solving the existing In the technology, the input method window of the input method occludes the information and affects the user input efficiency, thereby improving the user experience.

In an embodiment, when the first transparency adjustment trigger event is “the information input state of the input method window meets the transparency adjustment trigger condition”, step 32 may specifically have the following two implementation manners:

Implementation A1: When the information is input to the input method window, no information is input to the input. Adjust the transparency of the input method window when the duration of the state of the method window exceeds the first specific length of time.

For example, if the first specific time length is 2 minutes, if the user inputs information into the input method window and does not continue to input information for more than 2 minutes, then the transparency of the input method window of the input method can be adjusted at this time.

Implementation A2: Once the information is monitored for input to the input method window, the transparency of the input method window is adjusted.

In an embodiment, when the first transparency adjustment triggering event is “the display content in the specific page area where the input method window is changed”, the step 32 may specifically have the following steps B1 to B3:

B1. Acquire first image information including a specific page area of the input method window in an activated state;

The activation state of the input method window means that the user has started the input method application, but has not input related information through the input method window.

B2. Acquire second image information of a specific page area including an input method window in an information input state;

The information input state of the input method window refers to a state when the user inputs the related information through the input method application. For example, the input method window as shown in FIG. 4 is in an information input state in which the input information display window displays "ze" input by the user, and the index window displays information such as "1.".

B3. Adjusting the transparency of the input method window when comparing the first image information and the second image information to determine that the display content in the specific page area changes.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the area shown in the dashed box is a specific page area, wherein the specific page area is determined by the default display position of the input method window that can be built according to the input method. When the input method window is in an active state, the information input by the user is not displayed in the specific page area, so that the corresponding first image information does not include the information input by the user; and once the user performs the text input box When the information is input, the information input by the user is displayed in the specific page area, that is, the second image information includes the information input by the user, as shown in FIG. 4 . Since the second image information changes compared with the first image information, the transparency of the input method window is adjusted, so that the content blocked by the input method window is visible through the input method window, that is, as shown in the figure. The transparency of the adjusted input method window shown in Figure 5.

In one embodiment, when the first transparency adjustment trigger event is “the text input box where the cursor is currently located is the search information input box”, the transparency of the input method window is adjusted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , the page of the input method window includes a text input box of a type of search information input box, and when the user inputs information, if the cursor is in the search information input box, the input method window The transparency will be adjusted and the result of the adjustment is shown in Figure 5. The attribute information of the text input box can be used to determine whether the type of the text input box is a search information input box.

In one embodiment, the transparency of the input method window is adjusted when the first transparency adjustment trigger event is "the distance between the position of the input method window in the page and the text input box where the cursor is located is less than a certain distance threshold".

For example, the distance between the input method window and the text input box shown in FIG. 1 is smaller than a specific distance, that is, the input method window almost covers the text input box, and the transparency of the input method window is adjusted at this time, that is, as shown in FIG. .

In addition, in an embodiment, after adjusting the transparency of the input method window, the display content under the input method window may be invisible through the input method window by the following steps C1 to C2, specifically:

Step C1: monitoring whether a second transparency adjustment trigger event occurs;

The second transparency adjustment trigger event may be, but is not limited to, one or more of the following events:

The text input box where the cursor is currently located is the "password" information input box;

The input method window is located at the location specified by the user;

After the information is input to the input method window, there is no information input to the state of the input method window. The duration exceeds a second specific length of time; wherein the second specific length of time referred to herein is often greater than the first specific length of time referred to above;

The display content in the specific page area where the input method window is located has not changed for a certain length of time;

The distance between the position of the input method window on the page and the text input box where the cursor is located is not less than a certain distance threshold.

Step C2: When monitoring the occurrence of the second transparency adjustment trigger event, adjust the transparency of the input method window so that the display content below the input method window is invisible through the input method window.

It should be noted that the execution bodies of the steps of the method provided in the embodiments of the present application may all be the same device, or the method may also be performed by different devices. For example, the execution body of step 31 may be device 1, and the execution body of step 32 may be device 2; for example, the execution body of step 32 may be device 1, and the execution body of step 31 may be device 2.
