Embodiment 1

[0109] Embodiment 1. By completing the prefix or suffix of the character string at the cursor position, completion candidates can be generated and prompted to the user. The completion process may be performed when the user is modifying the character string to be processed. In order to better reflect the effects of the present invention, it is now compared with existing input methods and illustrated with examples.

[0110]When the user uses the existing input method (take the English input method as an example), when the user needs to modify (including letter insertion, deletion, replacement, etc.) words, the existing input method will only start from the user's new input letter Give the completion content. For example, when a user enters the word "bagy" in a search engine and clicks to search, he finds that the word is missing a letter "g". When the user starts to backspace from the letter "y", or directly moves the cursor to before the letter "g" or After that, the input me...

Embodiment 2

[0112] Embodiment 2. The character string to be processed can be edited according to the preset thesaurus to generate error correction candidates, and the error correction candidates are prompted to the user, wherein the editing operations include inserting and deleting , replace or swap character order, etc. For example, for the misspelling "zipo", error correction candidates such as "zipp", "zip", "zippy", etc. can be made. Wherein, the exchange character order usually refers to the situation that two letters are entered in an incorrect order, for example, "what" is often input as "waht", at this time, the order of the character a and the character h needs to be exchanged, and the "What" is prompted to the user as an error correction candidate. Similar to the generation of completion candidates, since these editing operations may generate a large number of candidates, the restriction conditions for generating error correction candidates can be specified in advance, and the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for providing an error correcting prompt. The method comprises the following steps of: obtaining a character string of a cursor position on a display screen; analyzing the obtained character string and judging whether the obtained character string needs processing; and supplying the prompt of the character string needing processing to a user. The invention also discloses a device for providing the error correcting prompt and an input method system. The method and the device not only can supply the error correcting prompt to characters, which are being edited by the user by using the input method, but also can supply the prompt of the character string needing processing, which is displayed on the display screen, to the user as well as supply a complementing or error correcting choice to the user so as to help the user rapidly and correctly position the character string needing processing and finish inputting and modifying a text, so an input process becomes more smooth. Since the input method has an error correcting prompt function, the dependence of the user on editing environments such as Word and the like is reduced and the character inputting quality of the user in different situations can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of character information input, in particular to a method, device and input method system for providing error correction prompts. Background technique [0002] Input method users often encounter some difficulties when inputting non-native language characters. For example, non-English users (such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) often make input errors when inputting English entries. This is mainly because there are huge differences in English spelling, word formation, and grammar compared with users' native languages. Users often have English words that they "can't remember", "misspelled words" and "can't use". Or the "wrong word" situation. Therefore, users usually hope that when using the input method to start inputting English words, the input method can provide candidate words and can automatically correct errors when the user makes an input error. In this way, once the user finds a desired word among the can...
