Method and device for inputting characters

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for inputting characters. The method includes the steps that after it is determined that a user switches the input state from the English input state to the Chinese input state, English character sets input before the user carries out input state switching operation can be automatically obtained, whether the English character sets meet the Chinese character input rule or not can be judged, and if the English character sets meet the Chinese character input rule, the English character sets are converted into Chinese character sets. When the user inputs the characters which should correspond to the Chinese character input state in the English input state, the characters can be converted into Chinese characters with the method and device, automatic conversion from the invalid characters to the effective characters is achieved, the number of the invalid characters is effectively decreased, and the time for the user to manually cancel the invalid characters and carry out input again is also saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of character input, in particular to a character input method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, various electronic products have gradually entered people's lives. [0003] Text input is an important means for users to interact with various electronic devices. Through text input, the user can communicate with other users using the electronic device through the electronic device. At the same time, with the development of digital storage technology, the way of inputting text to electronic equipment for recording is gradually replacing the traditional way of using paper and pen to record text by hand. Due to the increasingly frequent cultural exchanges in the world, the user may involve foreign characters when inputting characters. For example: For Chinese, it is necessary to switch the input method to English input method and then input English characte...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when the user uses the English input method to input all the English characters that need to be input, the user may forget to switch to the Chinese input method, but continue to input text under the English input method

This situation leads to the input of invalid characters. When the user finds that the Chinese input method has not been switched, the user needs to switch to the Chinese input method, and manually clear these invalid characters, and then need to re-enter the correct Chinese characters. The process is more cumbersome , which reduces the efficiency of character input
