Text segment copying and pasting method and device and terminal for implementing same

Abstract

The invention discloses a text segment copying and pasting method including the steps of receiving the trigger event of gesture command happened in a second area; identifying the gesture command according to the trigger event; when identifying that the gesture command is a multi-point sliding one, determining a starting coordinate and an ending coordinate according to the multi-point sliding gesture command, and selecting the text segment according to the starting coordinate and ending coordinate; and copying and pasting the text segment according to the relative position of the contact coordinate of the multi-point sliding gesture command. By the aid of the method, the text segment can be copied and pasted without fingers leaving the touch screen, and user experience is improved. The invention further discloses a device and a terminal for implementing the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a method, device and terminal for copying and pasting text. Background technique [0002] Electronic devices of mobile terminals include applications using text input, such as instant message (IM, instant message) applications, email applications, word processing applications, and other applications with text input. When users perform editing operations, they often need to select text or fields and copy and paste them. In a touch screen mobile phone, due to relying on fingers to perform these operations on the touch screen, and the contact area between the user's finger and the touch screen is relatively large, due to the obstruction of the finger, the user's eyes cannot see the position of the screen actually touched by the finger, making it difficult to accurately Identify the user's intent, because this kind of problem is more prominent. [0003] With th...

Problems solved by technology

This operation method is quite complicated. When the user wants to move the cursor, the user needs to leave the virtual keyboard area and reach the text editing area, and needs to wait for the long press to respond. After the selection cursor appears, the cursors on both sides must be moved separately. in order to locate the ideal position

For users with small display screens or thicker fingers, the position of the operation identifier may be blocked during operation, and it is impossible to accurately select the text segment that you want to copy and paste. The user experience is not good
