Methods used for inputting text into electronic device and correcting error

Abstract

The invention relates to a method used for correcting error according to input of a user. The method used for correcting the error according to the input of the user includes: detecting current error correction settings, wherein the detection at least includes whether to correct error and an error correction range; detecting the input of the user; carrying error correction according to the input of the user and obtaining a related character set, wherein the character set at least comprises error correction characters for correcting error which possibly happens to the input of the user; and seeking the character set comprising the error correction characters in a dictionary and obtaining candidate words. The invention further relates to a method used for inputting text into an electronic device. With the methods used for inputting the text into the electronic device and correcting the error, 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 methods can greatly reduce design cost of a portable device manufacturer.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an application date of April 18, 2008, an application number of 200810036302.9, and an invention title of "a system capable of realizing 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 implementing flexible keyboard layouts for users to input text into electronic equipment. Background technique [0003] In modern life, with the continuous development of integrated circuit technology, various electronic devices have appeared. On 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, a full-size hardware keyboard cannot be equipped, so inputting on such devices is...

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.
