Method and device for text selection

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for text selection and relates to the field of computer technologies. The method comprises the following steps of: detecting a first trigger event generated on a first contact, and displaying a starting point mark on the position of the first contact; detecting a second trigger event generated on the first contact, and acquiring the position of the starting point mark; switching the starting point mark into a terminating point mark; after a third trigger event generated on a third contact touched by a user at the terminating point mark is detected, detecting a sliding trace generated on a second contact touched by the user on a touch screen, and acquiring the sliding speed of the second contact, wherein the sliding speed of the second contact is used for adjusting the text page turning speed; detecting a fourth trigger event generated on the third contact, and acquiring the position of the terminating point mark according to the sliding speed of the second contact; and acquiring characters between the position of the starting point mark and the position of the terminating point mark. According to the method, the simplification of the operation of the text selection triggered by the user is realized, and the rapid and accurate location of the position of a terminating point is realized when the content of a selected text is relatively multiple.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a text selection method and device. Background technique [0002] The number of users of mobile phones and tablet computers is gradually increasing, and more and more people are getting used to browsing text information such as web pages through mobile phones or tablets. Therefore, when users use mobile phones and tablets, they often use copying, cutting, etc. operate. [0003] At present, the following method is usually used in the operation of selecting text content: a dialog box pops up after a long press on the screen, and the corresponding button in the dialog box is selected to select copy or cut. After the specific operation is selected, the starting point is displayed on the screen and the end point mark, the user can set the start point or end point position by dragging the start point or end point mark, when the selected text content exceeds one page, you can...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the process of selecting text content in the prior art, on the one hand, it is first necessary to select a specific operation, such as copying or cutting, and when selecting a specific operation, it is necessary to go through three stages of long pressing the screen, popping up a dialog box, and selecting a button , the operation process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and the user experience is poor; on the other hand, when the selected text content is multiple pages, the end mark needs to be moved to the header or footer for page turning, and the page turning speed is preset by the system If the page turning speed value is set too high, it will be difficult for the user to locate accurately due to the fast page turning speed. If the page turning speed value is set too small, when the number of pages turning is large, the time it takes Longer, resulting in longer waiting time for users and poor user experience
