Embodiment Construction

[0041] The technical problem solved by the embodiments of the present disclosure is that by using a virtual keyboard to type characters, unnecessary processing resources and network bandwidth resources may be consumed. A virtual keyboard may refer to a software component that allows the input of characters without the need for physical keys. Interaction with the virtual keyboard can take place via a touch screen interface, but also in a different form in virtual or augmented reality. The virtual keyboard may be used when searching for media content items to consume, typing user feedback, typing electronic messages (eg, email, text, etc.), typing website URLs, and the like. Although searching for media content items is primarily described below as an example of using the enhanced virtual keyboard of the present disclosure, it should be understood that any suitable implementation that can benefit from the enhanced virtual keyboard is considered within the scope of the present di...

Abstract

A method includes the step: displaying a user interface on a display of a client device. The user interface includes a virtual keyboard including characters arranged in rows and columns. The method also includes fixing a focus of a cursor displayed in the user interface to a first row or a first column in the virtual keyboard, responsive to receiving a first request to move the cursor in a first direction in the virtual keyboard, wrapping the one of the characters around the row or the column to a last row or a last column of the virtual keyboard to present another of the characters within thefocus of the cursor, and responsive to receiving a second request to move the cursor in the virtual keyboard in a second direction, moving the focus of the cursor to a list of word suggestions.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a virtual keyboard, and more particularly, to a rotating on-screen virtual keyboard for efficient use during character entry. Background technique [0002] Various platforms may offer items of media content shared by users (e.g., user-uploaded videos, live-streamed videos) and / or provided by various entities (e.g., movies and / or television produced by production studios) programme). The media content items may include pre-recorded or live streaming content presented to the user on the client device via the platform's user interface. A user can access the user interface and use the virtual keyboard to type a search query for consuming a desired item of media content. Other platforms may provide a virtual keyboard to enter characters to perform various operations associated with the platform (eg, write a review, compose an electronic message, type a URL, etc.). Entering characters through con...
