Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when inputting text information, inputting a letter in the traditional way often requires multiple repeated keystrokes to complete. The disadvantages of this method are that the number of keystrokes is large, the number of selections is large, the error rate is high, the input efficiency is low, and the operation is not intuitive.

Embodiment 1

[0043]When the input method display of the touch screen device is turned on, when no letters or numbers are input, the editing area 200 is empty, and the annular selection area 300 is hidden and not displayed. The input of numbers 0 to 9 can be input by clicking the number keys 0 to 9, and for the input of numbers 2 to 9, in addition to clicking, the method of long pressing the button and sliding can be used to enter each button in the pop-up ring selection area. Select the number or letter represented by the block.

[0044] see figure 2 , in this embodiment, enter the number "123". First, click the number key 1, and it can be seen that the input number "1" is displayed in the editing area 200 . Next, click the number key 2, and it can be seen that the input number "2" is displayed in the editing area 200. Third, press the number key 3, a ring-shaped selection area 300 pops up just above the editing area 200, and the ring-shaped selection area 300 is equally divided into f...

Embodiment 2

[0046] Turn on the input method display of the touch screen device. When no letters or numbers are input, the editing area 200 is empty, the annular selection area 300 is hidden and not displayed, and the default interface is the same as that of Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the English word "wonder" is input.

[0047] First, press the number key 9, and a ring-shaped selection area 300 pops up. The ring-shaped selection area 300 is equally divided into five button blocks, wherein the upper button block 31 is displayed as the number "9", and the upper left button block 32 is displayed as the letter "w", The lower left button block 33 is displayed as the letter "x", the lower right button block 34 is displayed as the letter "y", and the upper right button block 35 is displayed as the letter "z". Press and hold the number key 9 and slide it to the upper left corner, and the input letter "w" can be seen in the editing area 200 . At this time, release your finger to hide the an...

Embodiment 3

[0052] Turn on the input method display of the touch screen device. When no letters or numbers are input, the editing area 200 is empty, the annular selection area 300 is hidden and not displayed, and the default interface is the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that the input is switched to the Chinese Pinyin input method, and the Chinese character "ba" is input in this embodiment.

[0053] see Figure 5 , under the Chinese character pinyin input mode, the editing area 200 also includes a pop-up temporary editing area 201 and a temporary candidate word area 202, and the temporary editing area 201 is used to temporarily store the letters selected from the virtual numeric keyboard, and the selected letter combination When a Chinese character can be formed according to the Chinese character pinyin rules, the Chinese character associated with the letter combination and its corresponding representative number are displayed in th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a virtual keyboard input method applied to embedded touch screen equipment. A display area of a touch screen is provided with a virtual keyboard area, an edit area and an annular selection area, and digital keys on the virtual keyboard area respectively map a plurality of letters. The method specifically comprises the following steps of: carrying out a key pressing operation; popping up the annular selection area when judging that a letter input operation is carried out, wherein the key block on each position of the annular selection area respectively represents one letter or digit; and sliding key for selection along a direction of the letter or digit, and displaying on the edit area. Compared with the prior art, precise letter input is realized through screen promoting and the identification of touch screen sliding action of a user, therefore, the efficiency on inputting character information is greatly improved, meanwhile, the operation is convenient and visual, and better compatibility and inclusiveness can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a small keyboard input method, in particular to a virtual keyboard input method for an embedded touch screen device. Background technique [0002] With the continuous progress and development of information and technology, touch screen technology is more and more widely used in embedded devices such as mobile phones and PDAs, and the requirements for various technologies on touch screen devices are also getting higher and higher. Text information is a necessary means of interactive communication, and realizing fast and convenient text input is also one of the goals of touch screen devices. Due to the influence of traditional numeric keypad input methods, people are still accustomed to using virtual numeric keypads for input operations on touch screen devices. [0003] The traditional numeric keypad can input information such as Chinese characters, English and numbers. The traditional numeric keypad used on mobile phones and ot...
