Description

Method and device for loading candidate text based on input

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of word processing technologies, and in particular, to a loading method based on input candidate text and a loading device based on input candidate text.

Background technique

With the rapid development of technology, people use electronic devices more and more frequently. In people's use of electronic devices, information input is often required, such as sending emails, searching for information on the Internet, and sending Weibo.

In the input scene, the text that the user usually needs to input includes Chinese, English, numbers, symbols, etc. If the input method can only provide a single type of candidate, the user needs to frequently switch the input method to complete the text input, which will greatly reduce the text. Input efficiency.

In order to enhance the user's input experience, the mixing function has become one of the functions necessary for the current input method program.

Nowadays, users are using English and digital input more and more scenes. For example, the names of some international technology products are often English and digital combinations.

Some input method programs, when inputting English and numbers, often need to slide and turn pages to find the input that the user expects, and even can not find the input desired by the user. The user needs to manually input a word or a number, and the operation is troublesome. Input efficiency is very low.

Summary of the invention

In view of the above problems, the present invention has been made in order to provide an input-based candidate text loading method and a corresponding input-based candidate text loading device that overcomes the above problems or at least partially solves or alleviates the above problems.

Specific embodiment

The invention is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

For the user's mixed demand, an input method program realizes the Chinese-English mixed function by adding Chinese-English and Chinese mixed words in the thesaurus, and the binary relationship between Chinese words and English words and Chinese words and numbers.

For the user input code string, a mixed word that can match the code string can be searched in the vocabulary and displayed through the candidate region. If necessary, the combination candidate with the greatest probability can be calculated by the binary relationship between the words, candidate It may consist of Chinese words and English words, Chinese words and numbers.

If the mixed words desired by the user cannot be given, the user needs to select the desired candidate to complete the input by sliding the candidate area.

There are two sources of mixed words that can be output by the input method program: mixed words that already exist in the thesaurus, and combined words given by dynamic group words.

When the user's desired mixed word does not appear in the candidate, the user cannot quickly select the desired English or number through the input method program.

Users can only search for candidates in candidate regions that are mixed with Chinese candidates, English candidates, and digital candidates. The expected candidate, the input method does not provide a filtering method to help the user quickly find the desired English candidate, digital candidate, usually the user needs to select the desired candidate by sliding the candidate region (or page turning operation), often needs to go down It is possible to find a candidate that meets the expectations, and may even be unable to find the desired English candidate. In this case, the input of the word can only be completed by selecting the letter in the word one by one, and the input cost is high.

For the user's mixed demand, another input method presets the commonly used Chinese-English mixed words in the thesaurus, and the binary relationship between Chinese words and English words.

For the user input code string, the input method searches the thesaurus for a mixed word that can match the code string and displays it through the candidate area. If necessary, the combination candidate with the greatest probability is calculated by the binary relationship between words, and the combination candidate may be composed of Chinese words and English words.

If the mixed words desired by the user cannot be given, the user combines the candidates by selecting the candidate segments. If the current candidate segment is Chinese, the candidate segment is directly searched and selected in the candidate column; if the current candidate segment is in English, the user can slide the auxiliary candidate column to the end, and click the "English" button to enter the English mode, at this time, the candidate column only With English candidates left, users can quickly find and select the desired English words.

However, the input method cannot output a mixed number of words, the "English" button is at the end of the auxiliary candidate column, and the user prefers to perform a sliding operation in order to click the button. Moreover, since the number of auxiliary candidates in the auxiliary candidate column is changed, the position of the "English" button will change after the English segment is selected, and the user needs to slide the auxiliary candidate column again, which is very troublesome.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a flow chart of the steps of the loading method of the input method based on the input of the candidate text according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

Step 101: When the triggered button is detected, loading one or more first character strings corresponding to the button, and the first candidate text corresponding to each first character string;

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to an electronic device having a touch screen or a physical keyboard, and may specifically include a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a laptop computer, etc., and the present invention. The embodiment does not limit this.

These electronic terminals can support operating systems including Windows, Android (Android), IOS, Windows Phone, etc., and can usually run applications that are input through a keyboard such as a virtual keyboard or a physical keyboard. The virtual keyboard or the physical keyboard may include a nine-square grid keyboard, a full keyboard (such as a QWERT keyboard), and the like, and the application may include an input method program and the like.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user can trigger a button on the keyboard by touching or clicking a physical button on the touch screen, and the input method can query the corresponding first candidate file, and the first candidate text can include Chinese. At least one of the candidate text, the English candidate text, and the digital candidate text can be visually converted into a Chinese-English number input mode.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 101 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S11, extracting one or more first characters associated with each button;

The first character may include at least one of a Chinese character, an English character, and a numeric character;

In practical applications, one or more buttons are generally arranged on the keyboard. For example, a nine-square keyboard generally has at least nine buttons, and a full keyboard generally has at least 26 buttons. Most of the buttons can be used to input characters, and many buttons are often reused. You can enter different characters, including but not limited to numeric characters, English characters, Chinese characters, and symbol characters.

Among them, Chinese characters can include pinyin characters and stroke characters.

For example, in the nine-square grid keyboard shown in FIG. 2, the button 201 is associated with a Chinese character, which may include a pinyin character vowel "a", an initial "b", an initial "c", a stroke character "丨", and associated numeric characters. "2", associated English characters "a", "b", "c", "A", "B", "C".

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, in the present specification, a nine-square grid keyboard is described as an example of keyboard calculation.

In the Jiugongge keyboard, the 10 numbers of 0-9 are generally distributed on different keys, and these keys distribute the more important Chinese characters and English characters at the same time, and the frequency of use is very high. Therefore, for convenience, the following buttons are used. The associated number identifies the button. For example, button 2 can represent the button where the number "2" is located.

Sub-step S12, combining one or more first characters associated with each button into one or more first character strings;

The first character string may include at least one of a Chinese character string, an English character string, and a numeric character string;

It should be noted that the character string may include one character (such as a simple spelling input), and may also include multiple characters, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

In the input scene, many users are accustomed to long word input, so that the triggered key length is long, each key is associated with one or more characters, and the characters associated with the adjacent keys can form a character string.

For example, the user triggers the button "47466367587" in the nine-square grid keyboard, and expects to input "iPhone6plus".

The Chinese characters "h" and "g" associated with the button "4" can be composed of Chinese characters, and the Chinese characters "q", "i", "n", "m", "e" associated with the button "746636" respectively. "n" can form the Chinese string "qinmen", the character "i", "P", "h", "o", "n", "e", which are associated with the string "4746636". "6" can be composed of an "iPhone6" mixed with an English string and a numeric string, and the like.

Sub-step S13, searching for one or more first candidate texts corresponding to the one or more first character strings in a preset vocabulary;

The first candidate text may include at least one of a Chinese candidate text, an English candidate text, and a digital candidate text;

In the embodiment of the present invention, a mixed candidate text of at least one of commonly used Chinese candidate texts, English candidate texts, and digital candidate texts, and Chinese candidate texts, English candidate texts, and digital candidate texts may be preset in the thesaurus. The binary relationship between any two to provide commonly used mixed word candidates and mixed dynamic group word candidates.

If the text corresponding to the first string matches the mixed candidate text, the mixed candidate text may be extracted as the first candidate text;

If the text corresponding to the first string conforms to the binary relationship, the text can be combined into the first candidate text.

For a Chinese character string, you can find the Chinese character of the Chinese string as a Chinese candidate text by pinyin;

For example, the Chinese candidate texts corresponding to the Chinese character strings "h" and "g" are "also", "give", and the like.

For another example, the Chinese candidate text corresponding to the Chinese character string "qinmen" is "pro" and the like.

For English strings and numeric strings, the English character string and the numeric character string can be extracted as English candidate texts and digital candidate texts.

For example, "iPhone6", a mixture of English strings and numeric strings, can be used as "iPhone6" in which English candidate text and digital candidate text are mixed.

Sub-step S14, displaying the one or more first character strings in a character string area;

In an actual application, the character string area may display at least part of the first character string, and the currently displayed first character string may be the first character string with the highest application probability.

As shown in FIG. 3A, when the user triggers the button "47466367587" in the nine-square grid, the first character string "h'qinmen'q'ju's" can be displayed in the character string area 301.

Sub-step S15, the one or more first candidate texts in the candidate area.

In an actual application, the candidate region may display at least part of the first candidate text, and the currently displayed first candidate text may be the first candidate text with the highest application probability.

As shown in FIG. 3A, when the user triggers the button "47466367587" in the nine-square grid keyboard, the first candidate text "Please raise your hand", "Please raise your hand", "iPhone6" can be displayed in the candidate area 302. ", "iPhone" and so on.

Step 102: When listening to the specified operation event, determining the first target button;

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the current user desires the English candidate text, the digital candidate text, or the mixed candidate text of the English candidate text and the digital candidate text, the current user does not have the user's expectation. The candidate text can perform a specified operation and trigger the specified operation event to filter the candidate candidate text of the English candidate text, the digital candidate text, or the English candidate text and the digital candidate text, and can be visually converted into an English number input mode.

In an optional example of an embodiment of the present invention, the specified operational event may include a trigger event specifying a button.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the input method program, a designated button 202 ("EN" logo) can be provided. If the user clicks the button 202, the trigger event of the designated designated button can be triggered.

The designated button can be located on the current interface to prevent the user from turning pages and directly clicking to improve the convenience of input.

Certainly, the embodiment of the present invention may also adopt other specified operation events, for example, a specified gesture slip event, which is not limited by the embodiment of the present invention.

If the specified operation event is detected, the first target button may be determined, and the first target button may be an operation button corresponding to the character string of the currently undetermined candidate text;

It should be noted that the first target button may be a partially triggered button, that is, the user may determine part of the candidate text at least once.

For example, the user triggers the button "47466367587" in the nine-square grid keyboard, and expects to input "iPhone6plus", and determines the English candidate text "iPhone". As shown in FIG. 3B, if the current candidate text does not meet the user's expectation, the user can click The designated button is used to filter the candidate text. The character string corresponding to the English candidate text "iPhone" is "iPhone", and the button "474663" corresponding to the character string "iPhone", the first target button is "67587".

The first target button may also be a fully triggered button, that is, the user has not previously determined the candidate text.

For example, the user triggers the button "43946498269246254" in the nine-square grid keyboard, triggering the desired input "where the 4D theater is." If the current candidate text does not have "4D", the user can click the designated button, and the first target button is "43946498269246254". .

Step 103: Load one or more second character strings corresponding to the first target button, and second candidate text corresponding to each second character string;

The second candidate text may include at least one of an English candidate text and a digital candidate text.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the input method program may filter at least one of the English candidate text and the digital candidate text in the candidate text of the second character string to speed up the English mixed input.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 103 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S21, extracting each first target button associated with one or more second characters;

The second character may include at least one of an English character and a numeric character;

It should be noted that when the specified operation event is monitored, the first target button can care about English characters and numeric characters can be combined, and Chinese characters can be ignored.

For example, in the nine-square grid keyboard shown in FIG. 2, if the button 201 is the first target button, the associated numeric character "2", the associated English characters "a", "b", "c", "A", "B", "C", and its associated Chinese characters can be ignored. The Chinese characters can include the pinyin character vowel "a", the initial "b", the initial "c", and the stroke character "丨".

Sub-step S22, combining one or more second characters associated with each first target button into one or more second character strings;

The second character string may include at least one of a Chinese-English string and a numeric string;

Sub-step S23, searching for one or more second candidate texts corresponding to the one or more second character strings in a preset vocabulary;

The second candidate text may include at least one of an English candidate text and a digital candidate text;

Sub-step S24, displaying the one or more second character strings in a character string area;

Sub-step S25, displaying the one or more second candidate texts in the candidate area.

In the thesaurus, a mixed candidate text of at least one of commonly used Chinese candidate texts, English candidate texts, and digital candidate texts, and binary of any two of Chinese candidate texts, English candidate texts, and digital candidate texts may be preset. Relationships to provide commonly used mixed word candidates and mixed dynamic group word candidates.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the text corresponding to the second character string meets the mixed candidate text of at least one of the English candidate text and the digital candidate text, the mixed candidate text may be extracted as the second candidate text;

If the text corresponding to the first character string conforms to the binary relationship between the English candidate text and the digital candidate text, the text may be combined into the second candidate text.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3C, if the English character string "OS" corresponding to the second target button "67" matches the English candidate text "OS" preset by the thesaurus, "OS" may be extracted as the second candidate text.

Sub-step S31, extracting each first target button associated with one or more second characters;

Sub-step S32, combining one or more second characters associated with each first target button into one or more second character strings;

Sub-step S33, extracting the one or more second character strings, and/or sorting the first one or more characters in the one or more second character strings to obtain a second candidate text;

The second candidate text includes at least one of an English candidate text and a digital candidate text;

Sub-step S34, displaying the one or more second character strings in a character string area;

Sub-step S35, displaying the one or more second candidate texts in the candidate area.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a manner of quickly creating a mixed candidate text of an English candidate text, a digital candidate text, or an English candidate text or a digital candidate text may be provided.

Specifically, candidate texts of the same length as the second character string may be provided, and several shorter second string prefixes (such as 1-4 characters) may be provided as candidate texts, which will speed up the user's self-created process.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the second character string "6" corresponding to the second target button "6" can be loaded in the form of self-created words. After the user clicks, as shown in FIG. 3D, the input method program can be in the thesaurus. The string "plus" in which the button "7587" is found matches the preset English candidate text "plus", and is loaded in the candidate area. After the user selects "plus", the input of "iPhone6plus" can be completed.

These methods can satisfy some special input of the user, speed up the speed of self-created English candidate texts, digital candidate texts or mixed candidate texts of English candidate texts and digital candidate texts, and improve the user experience.

For example, when the mobile phone number 16012345678 is input, the character string "16012345678" which is the same length as the mobile phone number can quickly select the digital candidate text "16012345678", and some users are accustomed to the 3-4 digits as a whole input, then 16012345678 can Split into "160", "1234", "5678" input.

For another example, some unfamiliar English abbreviations may not be included in the income vocabulary, and the second string prefix may be used as a candidate text for quick input.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, before sub-step S25, sub-step S35, step 103 may further include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S41, the second candidate text is sorted according to word length and/or word frequency.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the word frequency may be set in the vocabulary, and the word frequency may be the word frequency of the collecting group user, or may be the word frequency used by the current user.

The second candidate text with longer word length and higher word frequency can be ranked higher in order to facilitate user selection.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3D, the word frequency of "plus" is higher than the word frequency of "7587", then the position of "plus" is ranked before "7587", and the word length of "7587" is longer than "758". , then the position of "7587" can be ranked before "758".

In practice, the frequency of users using Chinese is generally greater than that of English and numbers. In the input scene, especially for mobile devices such as mobile phones, the area for displaying candidate texts is very limited. Therefore, the frequency is preferred to display the most. It may meet several user-predicted candidate texts to meet the needs of most users. This results in candidate texts such as English and numbers, which are often buried in deep positions, many of which are not displayed. Users need to slide candidate areas and so on. Finding the desired candidate text is cumbersome. This feature is especially noticeable in mobile devices. When a user clicks on a button, it may cause irreparable damage to the input, such as selecting an unwanted candidate text, or deleting it. A selected candidate text.

Referring to FIG. 4, a flow chart of the steps of Embodiment 2 of the loading method based on the input candidate text according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Specifically, the method may include the following steps:

Step 401: When the triggered button is detected, loading one or more first character strings corresponding to the button, and first candidate text corresponding to each first character string; the first candidate text includes a Chinese candidate At least one of text, English candidate text, and digital candidate text;

Step 402: When the confirmation operation is detected, move the first candidate text corresponding to the confirmation indication into the character string area.

If the first candidate text includes an input desired by the user, the user can trigger the confirmation operation by touching the touch, moving the focus to the first candidate text, and pressing the confirmation key, and the first candidate text corresponding to the input method can be moved to A string area to prompt the user that the first candidate text has been selected.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, if the first candidate text "iPhone" is an input desired by the user, The user can touch the first candidate text "iPhone" by touch, and as shown in FIG. 3B, the first candidate text "iPhone" is moved into the character string area.

It should be noted that the first candidate text corresponding to the confirmation indication may be the candidate text corresponding to the character string of all the triggered keys, that is, the first candidate text may include the complete text that the user desires to input.

Step 403, when the specified operation event is monitored, determining a first target button; the first target button is an operation button corresponding to a character string of the currently undetermined candidate text;

Step 404: Load one or more second character strings corresponding to the first target button, and second candidate text corresponding to each second character string; the second candidate text includes English candidate text and digital candidate text. At least one of them.

Step 405: When the specified operation event is monitored, determining a second target button; the second target button is an operation button corresponding to a character string of the currently undetermined candidate text;

Step 406: Load one or more third character strings corresponding to the second target button, and a third candidate text corresponding to each third character string;

The third candidate text may include at least one of a Chinese candidate text, an English candidate text, and a digital candidate text.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user inputs the mixed text of English, numbers or English numbers, if the input including Chinese is needed, the specified operation can be performed again, and the mode is switched to the Chinese-English number input mode.

For example, if the user wants to enter "I am in Room 301 on the 8th floor of Building 14A", you can switch to the English input mode after completing the input "I am" to complete the input of "14A" and then switch to the Chinese and English numbers. Enter the mode to enter the “Building Building”, and the user can switch back and forth until the “I am in Room 301 on the 8th floor of Building 14A” is completed.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, step 406 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S51, extracting each second target button associated with one or more third characters;

The third character may include at least one of a Chinese character, an English character, and a numeric character;

Sub-step S52, combining one or more third characters associated with each second target button into one or more third character strings;

The third character string may include at least one of a Chinese character string, an English character string, and a numeric character string;

Sub-step S53, searching for one or more third candidate texts corresponding to the one or more third character strings in a preset vocabulary;

The third candidate text may include Chinese candidate text, English candidate text, and number. At least one of the candidate texts;

Sub-step S54, displaying the one or more third character strings in a character string area;

Sub-step S55, the one or more third candidate texts in the candidate area.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the application of the sub-step S51-sub-step S55 is substantially similar to the application of the sub-step S11-sub-step S15, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant part can be referred to the sub-step S11 - the description of the sub-step S15.
