Embodiment Construction

[0018] The input mode switching method and device are proposed below. Traditionally, a device can provide many input modes, and only one of the input modes is activated when inputting characters, which is called the "current input mode". When the current input mode is being used to actually input at least one character, it is called the "currently used input mode", and when it is switched off, it is called the "last used input mode". For example, when the first input mode is currently enabled and actually used to input at least one character, it is called "currently used input mode". When the first input mode is switched off, the second input mode following the first input mode is enabled as the "current input mode", and the above-mentioned first input mode is called the "last used input mode". Similarly, when the second input mode is currently actually being used to input at least one character, it is called the "currently used input mode", and when it is switched off, it is...

Abstract

An input mode switching method and an electronic apparatus are disclosed. A plurality of optional input modes are provided for character input. A subset of the input modes is selected as the total options selectable through a first control interface during character input. The invention can reduce the selectable input mode in the period of character input or before. The simplification of the input mode list can be operated automatically based on the usage of each input mode. The mode switching sequence may be adjusted automatically based on the usage of each input mode. Therefore, the switch among the needed input modes can be easier and need less switching operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer technology, and in particular to an input mode switching method and an electronic device using the method. Background technique [0002] Current mobile phones have many input modes, and these input modes can be sequentially selected as the current input mode to input characters, numbers, symbols or other characters. The switching sequence of the input mode has been set before the mobile phone leaves the factory. The user must switch repeatedly according to this sequence to select one of the input modes. When more input modes are supported, it becomes cumbersome to switch between input modes. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide an input mode switching method and an electronic device using the method. [0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for switching input modes, which is implemented in an electronic device and includes t...
