Embodiment Construction

[0028] Currently, in many computing devices, especially in mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets where Windows is not used for applications), copying content (such as text) in one application and pasting the content into a different application Can be very tedious. It has been found that once text in one application has been selected and copied, it takes the user on average about 17 seconds to paste the text into a different application on the mobile device. The user typically needs to press the home button, scroll and find the desired application to paste into, and then paste the text into the appropriate user control (eg, search box, message box, etc.). In some cases, users can even delete some text after pasting (for example, when pasting into the search box of a maps application).

[0029] To address these and other issues, embodiments of the present specification may perform contextual paste target prediction to predict one or more target applications for a pas...

Abstract

The invention relates to contextual paste target prediction. Contextual paste target prediction is used to predict one or more target applications of a paste action, and this is achieved based on contexts associated with previously selected and copied content. The predicted results may be used to present one or more user controls to a user to enable the user to activate one or more predicted applications; in some cases, once the one or more predicted applications are activated, the state of the predicted applications is also configured to use the selected and copied content. Thus, when a copy action is completed, in some cases, a user can quickly switch to an application for which the user intends to paste the content. In this way, a simpler user interface can be provided in devices such as telephones and tablet computers with limited display size and limited input device facilities. This may enable a paste operation to a different application with fewer steps than typically possible.

Description

[0001] Case Description [0002] This application belongs to the divisional application of the Chinese invention patent application 201710889268.9 with the filing date of September 27, 2017. technical field [0003] This application is concerned with contextual sticky object prediction. Background technique [0004] Computing devices have long supported various editing actions, such as copying, cutting, and pasting. A copy action is typically performed after the user has selected some of the displayed content and causes the selected content to be copied to a temporary memory commonly called the clipboard. The paste action is typically performed when a user desires to insert previously copied content elsewhere, and results in the previously copied content in the clipboard being inserted at a user-specified location. The cut action can be thought of as a subtype of the copy action, and like the copy action, the cut action causes the selection to be copied to the clipboard. ...
