With the development of the operating system and application needs, rich applications of some operating systems can run in other operating systems. At this time, the main operating system on the terminal device needs to be compatible with the applications of the sub-operating system. When the operating system is used, only the input methods of the operating system are activated, so that the user cannot freely switch the input method when using different operating system applications.

In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an input method setting method, as shown in FIG. 1 , the method includes the following steps S101 to S103:

pre-deploying the second operating system in a containerized manner in the first operating system;

For example, the first operating system serving as the host and the second operating system deployed in the first operating system share a Linux kernel, which is realized by technologies such as LXC and containerization.

For example, the first operating system may be various desktop Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, and the like. It should be noted that the first operating system is not limited to running on a physical machine, and may also be an operating system hosted on another operating system, such as WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in the Windows system.

For example, the second operating system can be Android (Android) operating system, covering Android OS (operating system) issued by Google, AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and various derivative systems based on AOSP, such as MIUI, EMUI, One UI, etc. .

As known to those skilled in the art, there are many other Linux Kernel-based operating systems, such as Tizen, Hongmeng, Meego, etc., as examples of the second operating system, which are also applicable to the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In this embodiment, the first operating system is a Linux operating system and the second operating system is an Android operating system for illustration. In this case, the Android operating system is deployed in a containerized manner in the Linux operating system. The Android operating system in the container shares an operating system kernel with the Linux operating system, which can isolate a group of processes from other contents of the Linux operating system. In this embodiment, the Android operating system is installed in the Linux operating system in a containerized manner ,as shown in picture 2.

It can be understood that the examples of the first operating system and the second operating system in the embodiment of the present disclosure are only used as an explanation of the technical solution of the present disclosure, and should not be regarded as a limitation of the present disclosure.

It is easy to understand that the above step of pre-deploying the second operating system in the first operating system in a containerized manner is a pre-step and broadly describes deploying the second operating system in the first operating system. For electronic devices that have completed this step, the input method setting method and input method of the embodiments of the present disclosure can be directly applied. The electronic device that has completed this step includes a first operating system and a second operating system that shares a kernel with the first operating system and is deployed in the first operating system, the first operating system includes a first input method service, and the second operating system includes The second input method service.

Step S101: establishing a socket communication channel between the second input method service (InputMethodService) in the second operating system and the first input method service (InputMethodService) in the first operating system;

In this embodiment, the first operating system is a Linux operating system, and the second operating system is an Android operating system for illustration. Correspondingly, the first input method service is a Linux input method service, and the second input method service is an Android input method. law services.

The input method is a kind of software in the operating system, which is managed uniformly by the operating system. When an application requests input, such as the Notepad application, Notepad will request the input method connection from the input method service in the system. At this time, the input method service will query the input method currently set by the system. If the input method is set to Xunfei, The input method service is responsible for establishing a socket connection between the Xunfei Input Method and the Notepad application. After the connection is established successfully, the Xunfei Input Method will send the input content to the Notepad application through the socket.

Specifically, the step S101 includes:

Start the first input method service in the first operating system; when starting the first operating system, start the first input method service;

After starting the first input method service, start the second operating system;

Start the second input method service in the second operating system; when starting the second operating system, start the second input method service;

For example, if the user has deployed the Android operating system in the Linux operating system, the startup process of the Linux operating system is to start the Linux system first, start the Linux input method service after the necessary system startup process, and then the Linux system starts to start the Android operating system , start the Android input method service during the startup process of the Android system, and establish a communication channel with the Linux input method service during the startup process of the Android input method service, that is, a socket communication channel.

The type of communication channel is the local socket connection of unix domain. Since the Android system will not be started until the Linux system is started, the Linux input method service in the Linux system has been started at this time. During the service initialization process, the Linux input method service will be used as The main service creates a socket server and starts to monitor the connection of the Android input method service. When the Android system starts, the Android input method service establishes a connection with the Linux input method service as a client service to complete the establishment of the communication channel.

Further, in step S101, it also includes the step of starting a second operating system in the first operating system, and after starting the first input method service, starting the second operating system specifically includes:

Mount the preset file system in the configuration file through the command set;

For example, after starting the Linux input method service, when starting the Android operating system, correspondingly, the first operating system container is a Linux container (Linux Container, referred to as LXC), and the installation process of the Android container image needs to call the command set in the LXC lxc-start and other commands are carried out, and two file systems are preset before running the Android operating system: system (system service level library) and vendor (driver program), write the LXC startup configuration file config, the preset boot program init and the required Mounted file systems system, vendor, data, etc.;

When starting the Android operating system, call the lxc-start command in the LXC command set, and specify the path of the LXC configuration file config; the lxc-start command first mounts the preset file system system and vendor in the configuration file config, and creates data and other directories; then the lxc-start command starts the init bootloader preset in the configuration file config to start the Android operating system.

Step S102: Using the socket communication channel, sending the input method supported by the second operating system from the second input method service to the first input method service;

For example, after the socket communication channel is successfully established, the input methods supported in the Android operating system are sent to the Linux input method service for unified management.

Specifically, after sending the input method supported by the second operating system from the second input method service to the first input method service in step S102, the method further includes:

Perform unified management of the input methods supported by the second operating system and the input methods supported by the first operating system through the first input method service;

The proxy object (Proxy) of the input method supported by the second operating system is saved through the first input method service.

For example, when the Linux input method service is started, it scans the input methods installed in the Linux operating system, and processes the list of input methods sent by the Android input method service. Unified management of input methods supported by the operating system;

For the input methods supported by the Linux operating system, the Linux input method service is managed in the form of a plug-in; for the input methods supported by the Android operating system, only the proxy object of the input method supported by the Android operating system is saved in the Linux input method service, when the user selects After setting the input method supported by the Android operating system, the Linux input method service exchanges data with the Android input method service through the proxy object.

Step S103: through the first input method service, set a default input method from the input methods supported by the second operating system and the input methods supported by the first operating system.

For example, the Linux input method service manages the input methods supported by the Linux operating system and the input methods supported by the Android operating system. All input methods, including the input methods supported by the Linux operating system and the input methods supported by the Android operating system, are Managed by the Linux operating system;

The flowchart of Linux input method service unified management input method is shown in Figure 3, wherein, InputMethodService: input method service;

Specifically include: the Android input method service initiates the establishment of a socket communication channel to the Linux input method service, the Linux input method service sends a successfully established command to the Android input method service; the Android input method service sends a list of input methods supported by the Android system to the Linux input method service , the user sets the input method to be used through the Linux input method service.

If Wubi input method and Sogou input method are installed in Linux, and Xunfei input method and Baidu input method are installed in Android, these four input methods are included in the input method list maintained by Linux input method service. These four input methods will be seen in the Linux input method list, and one input method can be selected as the default input method.

Through the Linux input method service, the processing flow of Linux and Andorid input methods can be unified, so that users can freely switch between the input methods supported by the Linux operating system and the input methods supported by the Android operating system without perception, and freely set the default input method , which solves the problem that the user cannot freely switch the input method when using different operating system applications, and improves the user's input efficiency.

After step S103, when the application makes an input request, the input method includes:

Establish a socket connection between the default input method and the application; after the default input method and the application establish the socket connection, communicate through the local socket without going through the Ethernet device, and realize free switching under the application of the two operating systems Input methods supported by any operating system;

Through the socket connection established between the default input method and the application, the text input by the user using the default input method can be directly sent to the operating system application for display without going through the operating system input method service; any input method supported by the operating system The input method can be connected with the operating system application through a local socket to complete the transmission of the user input text.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the default input method (such as Xunfei input method or Wubi input method) establishes a socket connection with the application (such as Android Notepad or Linux Notepad), and the character symbols input by the user can be sent to the application through the socket connection;

Since the Android system runs in a Linux container and shares an operating system kernel with Linux, the processes or applications in the two operating systems can communicate through local sockets, and the communication method using local sockets does not need to go through an Ethernet device;

The input method supported by the operating system (such as Xunfei Input Method or Wubi Input Method) is an application process, and the Android application or Linux application (such as Android Notepad or Linux Notepad) is also an application process, regardless of the two application processes. Whichever operating system is running, can communicate through the local socket to realize the compatibility of the input method functions supported by the Android operating system and the Linux operating system; any input method included in the input method supported by the Linux operating system or the input method supported by the Android operating system Both methods can be connected with Linux applications or Android applications through local sockets to complete the transmission of input content. After the socket connection is established between the default input method and the application, the communication is carried out through the local socket without going through the Ethernet device, and the input method supported by any operating system can be freely switched under the application of the two operating systems.
