An input control method and terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses an input control method including that a terminal acquires a first gesture touch operation for the letter buttons in a keyboard, when the first gesture touch operation is a first touch press, a corresponding small letter is output, when the first gesture touch operation is a second touch press, a corresponding capital letter is output, wherein the first touch press and the second touch press indicate gesture touches that represent different pressure to the screen of the terminal. In this way, the terminal performs the distinction between the first touch press and the second touch press by the different pressure on the display screen generated by the gesture operation of a user, and the input instructions generated by the triggering with different pressure are different, so that the user can input small letters or capital letters by touching the screen with different force, greatly improving the letter input efficiency of the user through a virtual keyboard, and improving the user experience.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of terminals, in particular to an input control method and terminal. Background technique [0002] With the increasing development of smart terminals, smart terminals are becoming more and more popular, users are becoming more and more dependent on smart terminals, and the requirements for smart terminals are getting higher and higher. In order to cater to the user experience, terminal developers have developed more and more functions for the terminal. Among them, the text input function of the terminal is an extremely important function. [0003] As the display screens of smart terminals on the market are all touch screens, there are only a few important physical buttons on the terminal, such as homepage buttons, screen lock buttons, and sound plus and minus buttons, while the keyboard for character input is It uses a virtual keyboard, also called a soft keyboard. The virtual keyboard displays the shape of the key...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In an existing terminal virtual keyboard input method, in the default lowercase English input state, if the user needs to input an uppercase letter, he can only switch the lowercase letter in the virtual keyboard by first clicking the switch key of the virtual keyboard. It is an uppercase letter, and then click the corresponding uppercase letter to enter, and this operation can only be used to input uppercase letters once. If you need to continue to enter uppercase letters, you need to repeat this operation. In this way, the operation is cumbersome and the user's input speed is slow.

Alternatively, the user can only display the uppercase and lowercase letters of the letter by long pressing the corresponding lowercase letter button. The user needs to slide the finger to select the uppercase letter to input it. This input method also has many cumbersome operations. , and the long press operation will take some waiting time, which also leads to the slow input speed of the user and affects the user experience
