Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of touch screen input, in particular to a touch screen keyboard and an input method thereof.

Problems solved by technology

Even so, it also has its disadvantages when the touch screen area of ​​mobile phones and other devices is small and users mostly operate with one hand: (1) The button layout is crowded, and it is necessary to look at the keyboard to click more accurately; (2) When the two letters that need to be input are far away on the keyboard, they must also move a long distance to input; (3) It is more suitable for one finger operation, and it is not convenient for multiple fingers to work together

Disadvantages: (1) It is not a good choice for many young people who "forget their characters with a pen" and are accustomed to typing in pinyin; (2) The recognition process is complicated and requires a lot of calculation, time, and energy consumption; (3) It takes a long time to write, and all products currently only provide one handwriting area, which requires users to wait for a long time to confirm that a word has been written, which wastes a lot of time and greatly reduces input efficiency

However, it still cannot avoid all the disadvantages of the push-button input method: (1) the layout of the buttons is crowded, and it is necessary to look at the keyboard to click more accurately; It is necessary to move a long distance to input; (3) It is more suitable for one finger operation, and it is not convenient for multiple fingers to work together
