Intelligent television input method and system thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent television input method and a system thereof. The input method comprises the following steps: starting the state of the input method and displaying a virtual keyboard with different editing areas; outputting a character type corresponding to one editing area selected by a user; receiving an operation instruction sent by the user through virtual keys in the editing area and inputting character codes corresponding to the virtual keys according to the operation instruction. According to the intelligent television input method and the system, the selected letters or phonetic alphabets are displayed around the corresponding keys by taking keyboard layouts in a plurality of editing areas, so that the user does not need to switch the editing interfaces repeatedly on the virtual keyboard during inputting different types of characters and also does not need to select by pressing the keys for a plurality of times or moving a focus point repeatedly during inputting the letters or the Chinese characters; the times for pressing the keys are reduced; the operation steps are simplified; the characters in a television can be more conveniently inputted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of input methods, in particular to an input method and system applied to televisions. Background technique [0002] Existing TV input methods are all based on T9 input method keyboard, virtual full keyboard or full-letter keyboard mode. If these input methods are operated on a real keyboard, there is not much difference between their input speed and ease of use, but it will be extremely inconvenient to apply them in the field of electronic products such as smart TVs that rely on moving the focus to select keys one by one. For example, to input a Chinese character through the up, down, left, and right direction keys and the confirmation key of the minimalist smart TV remote control, it is necessary to repeatedly move the focus to select the corresponding key through the direction keys. Because the letters a-z on the keyboard do not conform to the pinyin input specifications, often a simple Chinese pinyin consisting of...

Problems solved by technology

Because the letters a-z on the keyboard do not conform to the pinyin input specifications, often a simple Chinese pinyin consisting of two letters also needs to move the focus on the virtual keyboard for many keys to spell out the pinyin, and the operation steps are extremely inconvenient
