Method for entering text into electronic device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method used for inputting text into an electronic device. The method used for inputting the text into the electronic device includes the following steps: detecting parameters of input of a user and the current keyboard layout; acquiring a character set related to the input of the user according to the parameters of the current keyboard layout, wherein the character set comprises all or a part of possibly corresponding characters input by the user; adding the character to a current inputting sequence; as for at least one character in at least one character set in the current inputting sequence, seeking until a node related to character from a dictionary root node downward; and according to the node, forming a candidate word list; and displaying candidate words. With the method used for inputting the text into the electronic device, the user can self-define different keyboard layouts and switch among the different layouts freely. Meanwhile, automatic error correction can be achieved, intelligent word selection can be achieved with reference to the context, and the method can greatly reduce design cost of a portable device manufacturer.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application for an invention patent application whose filing date is April 18, 2008, the application number is 200810036302.9, and the invention title is "a system that can realize flexible keyboard layout". Technical field [0002] The present invention relates to the field of electronic equipment, in particular to the technical field of electronic equipment information input, and specifically refers to a system capable of realizing flexible keyboard layout for a user to input text into an electronic equipment. Background technique [0003] In modern life, with the continuous development of integrated circuit technology, various electronic devices have appeared. In these numerous electronic devices (such as handheld computers, smart phones, embedded systems, pocket computers, etc.), due to Restricted by factors such as size and manufacturing cost, it is impossible to be equipped with a full-size hardware keyboard, so inputting on such device...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Especially for the software keyboard on the touch screen, this method is less flexible, and has three main disadvantages: first, it is impossible to flexibly change the keyboard layout

This method is feasible in theory, but it is too complicated in practice, and it is difficult to implement due to the limited computing power on general portable devices.
