Method for displaying and inputting symbol in mobile terminal

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for displaying and inputting symbols on a mobile terminal. The method is characterized in that a table is established on the basis of the needed symbols and stored on the mobile terminal; symbols in the table are sequentially displayed on an interface of the mobile terminal in the row-column sequence manner, column index digits are displayed on the topside of theinterface; the symbols are selected through an up-down-left-right key, digits can be input on the current row so that symbols corresponding with the digits can be rapidly input, the current symbols are recorded when the exit is conducted, and the symbols are selected by default when the symbol interface is entered again; when the display is conducted, special symbols are mapped onto the specifiedcoding, and then the lattice data corresponding with the mapped coding are displayed. Therefore, the input of mobile terminal symbols can be more convenient and rapider. With the adoption of the method of the invention, the full dependency on a symbol library of an input method when the symbols are input to the mobile terminal; the operation is fast, simple and clear; and the great convenience isprovided for a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mobile terminal, in particular to a method for displaying and inputting symbols in the mobile terminal, and the symbols include special symbols and custom symbols. Background technique [0002] At present, many mobile terminals on the market display the symbols taken from the input method library on a line at the bottom of the mobile terminal screen when inputting symbols, and use the up, down, left, right keys and numbers to move and select symbols, and the symbol selection status of the input method can also be used. Use the number keys to select the symbols corresponding to the number keys on the current page, but the screen of the mobile terminal is very limited, generally only 6 to 10 symbols can be displayed in one line, but there are more than 30 commonly used symbols, so you need to use the up and down directions key to turn the page, there is a process of turning the page to find the desired symbol, which reduces the...

[0002] At present, many mobile terminals on the market display the symbols taken from the input method library on a line at the bottom of the mobile terminal screen when inputting symbols, and use the up, down, left, right keys and numbers to move and select symbols, and the symbol selection status of the input method can also be used. Use the number keys to select the symbols corresponding to the number keys on the current page, but the screen of the mobile terminal is very limited, generally only 6 to 10 symbols can be displayed in one line, but there are more than 30 commonly used symbols, so you need to use the up and down direction key to turn the page, there is a process of turning the page to find the required symbol, which reduces the efficiency of input

[0003] There are also many mobile terminals that display symbols on an interface, and use the up, down, left, and right keys to select, but you cannot use the number keys to quickly select

Both methods of entering symbols can be slow if there are many symbols
