[0002] With the development of electronic equipment technology, input method technology, which serves as a bridge between users and electronic equipment, has also developed rapidly. Users can input various characters into electronic equipment through input methods.

[0003] At present, when a user inputs an uncommon word into an electronic device for the first time, the user needs to determine each character included in the uncommon word one by one. For example, taking an uncommon word including multiple uncommon characters as an example, in a group chat interface, if an uncommon word appears in the chat content sent by user A, and user B also needs to enter the uncommon word in the reply message, then user B needs to query the pinyin of each of the multiple uncommon characters, and when entering the pinyin, determine each uncommon character one by one to enter the uncommon word.

[0004] This makes the user's input of uncommon words complicated and inefficient. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide an input method and device that can solve the problem of cumbersome operation process and low input efficiency in inputting uncommon words.

[0008] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an input device, which includes: a processing module, a receiving module and a display module. The processing module is used to add the target uncommon vocabulary to the uncommon vocabulary library when the target interface includes the target uncommon vocabulary; the receiving module is used to receive a first input for inputting a target coded string in the target interface, and the target coded string is associated with the target uncommon vocabulary; the display module is used to display M candidate words associated with the target coded string in response to the first input received by the receiving module, and the M candidate words include the target uncommon vocabulary determined from the uncommon vocabulary library, and M is a positive integer.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. And the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually a class, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally represents that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0024] The input method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The input method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied in the following scenarios:

[0026] Scenario 1: When a user inputs an uncommon word for the first time, the user needs to query the pinyin of each of the multiple uncommon words, and when inputting the pinyin, confirm each word in the uncommon word one by one.

[0027] Scenario 2: When a user inputs an uncommon word, the user can trigger the electronic device to switch to a handwriting input method, and input the uncommon word through handwriting operations on the electronic device.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target interface includes a target uncommon word, the target uncommon word is added to the uncommon word library; and a first input for inputting a target coding string associated with the target uncommon word in the target interface is received; and in response to the first input, M candidate words associated with the target coding string are displayed, the M candidate words including the target uncommon word determined from the uncommon word library, and M is a positive integer. Through this method, the electronic device automatically identifies the target uncommon word in the target interface and adds the target uncommon word to the uncommon word library. Subsequently, if the user needs to input the target uncommon word, the user triggers the electronic device to display the M candidate words including the target uncommon word by inputting the target coding string associated with the target uncommon word. Compared with the related art, this method does not need to determine each uncommon word in the uncommon word one by one after the user inputs the target coding string, so that the uncommon word can be input quickly and conveniently, thereby improving the user's input experience.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an input method, which may include the following steps 101 to 103.

[0030] Step 101: When a target interface includes a target rare word, the electronic device adds the target rare word to a rare word library.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned target interface is an interface for displaying target uncommon words. Specifically, the target interface can be a chat interface of an electronic device (for example, a chat interface of a chat group), a content reading interface (for example, an interface for reading articles through a browser, a reader, editing software, etc.), etc. The specific interface can be determined according to actual usage requirements. The following embodiment is exemplified by taking the chat interface of a group as an example of the target interface.

[0032] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned target uncommon words refer to some words that are relatively uncommon, uncommon, or difficult to input using ordinary input methods. The target uncommon words can be words in Chinese or any other language. Specifically, the target uncommon words can be any of the following: uncommon Chinese characters, relatively uncommon professional terms, uncommon words in other languages, etc. It can be determined according to actual use needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations.

[0033] It should be noted that the manner in which the electronic device identifies the target uncommon words in the target interface can be found in the specific description of the following step 104, which will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned rare vocabulary library may be a rare vocabulary library based on a certain application program, or a rare vocabulary library set by a certain user, or only a rare vocabulary library based on the current target interface. Specifically, one way is: when the electronic device recognizes that the target interface includes a target rare vocabulary, a rare vocabulary library can be created based on the target interface (the rare vocabulary library can be used to add all the rare vocabularies in the interface), and the target rare vocabulary is added to the rare vocabulary library. Another way is: when the electronic device recognizes that the target interface includes a target rare vocabulary, the electronic device can also add the target rare vocabulary to an existing rare vocabulary library, where the rare vocabulary library can be user-based or application-based. It can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0035] Step 102, the electronic device receives a first input for inputting a target encoding string in the target interface.

[0036] Wherein, the above-mentioned target encoding string is associated with the target rare vocabulary.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned target encoding string is used to indicate the target rare vocabulary. Specifically, the target encoding string may have different encoding methods based on different input methods. Specifically, the target encoding string may be any one of the following: the pinyin associated with the target rare vocabulary, the first letter of the pinyin associated with the target rare vocabulary, the stroke encoding associated with the target rare vocabulary, etc. Exemplarily, assuming the target rare vocabulary is "chì chù", then the encoding string of the associated pinyin is "chi chu"; the encoding string of the first letter of the associated pinyin is "cc"; the encoding string of the associated Wubi code is "TTTH FHK". The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on the specific encoding method of the encoding string, and the target encoding string associated with the target rare vocabulary can be determined according to the encoding method associated with the actually used input method.

[0038] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first input is that the user inputs the target encoding string in the target interface. Specifically, the first input may be an input of the target encoding string by voice, and the content of the voice is used to indicate the target encoding string; the first input may also be an input of the target encoding string manually through a preset input method. The present application does not make specific limitations on the input method of the target encoding string. For example, it may be that the user inputs through a physical keyboard for the target interface; it may also be that after the user triggers the electronic device to display a virtual keyboard in the target interface, an input operation is performed on the virtual keyboard in the target interface, etc. It can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0039] Step 103: In response to the first input, the electronic device displays M candidate words associated with the target encoded string.

[0040] Among them, the above M candidate words include the target rare word determined from the rare word library, and M is a positive integer.

[0041] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the above M candidate words are words associated with the target editing string, and the M candidate words may include words belonging to the rare word library (for example, the target rare word), and words not belonging to the rare word library (for example, the first candidate word in the following embodiments).

[0042] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the manner in which the electronic device determines the M candidate words may be: the electronic device sequentially compares the received target encoded string with the rare word library and the general input method vocabulary library; then, the electronic device forms the M candidate words by combining the target rare word determined from the rare word library and associated with the target encoded string, and multiple first candidate words determined from the general input method vocabulary library, and displays them in the candidate area. Among them, the candidate area can be used to display the M candidate words for the user to select.

[0043] Exemplarily, assuming that the encoded string of the pinyin input by the user is "chi chu" (i.e., the target encoded string), the electronic device can display "chì chù" matched from the rare word library, and "chī chū", "chí chú", and "chí chú" matched from the general input method vocabulary library in the candidate area of the target interface. In this way, the electronic device can display 4 candidate words (i.e., M = 4) associated with the target encoded string "chi chu", namely "chì chù", "chī chū", "chí chú", and "chí chú" in the candidate area, so as to facilitate the user to select the word that the user needs to input.

[0044] Exemplarily, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the operation of the electronic device for displaying the target rare word. As Figure 2 shown in (a) in, the electronic device 001 currently displays the chat interface 002 between Xiao Li and Xiao Wang (i.e., the target interface). After the electronic device 001 detects that the target rare word "fǔ lóng diǎn dàng" exists in the chat content of the chat interface 002, it adds "fǔ lóng diǎn dàng" to the rare word library. User Xiao Li needs to reply in this chat interface. As Figure 2As shown in (b), after the user enters the character string "ffdd" (i.e., the target coded character string) in the message reply field 006, the electronic device 001 displays the words associated with "ffdd" in the candidate area 007, such as: "Fulongdian", "Fuliduoduo", "Falai" and "Legal", etc., among which "Fulongdian" is the target uncommon word obtained by matching "ffdd" with the uncommon word library. Afterwards, the user can select the word the user needs in the candidate area 007 for input.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, an input method is provided. When a target interface includes a target uncommon word, the target uncommon word is added to an uncommon word library; and a first input of a target coding string associated with the target uncommon word is received in the target interface; and in response to the first input, M candidate words associated with the target coding string are displayed, and the M candidate words include the target uncommon word determined from the uncommon word library, and M is a positive integer. Through this method, the electronic device automatically identifies the target uncommon word in the target interface and adds the target uncommon word to the uncommon word library. Subsequently, if the user needs to input the target uncommon word, the user triggers the electronic device to display the M candidate words including the target uncommon word by inputting the target coding string associated with the target uncommon word. Compared with the related art, this method does not need to determine each uncommon word in the uncommon word one by one after the user inputs the target coding string, so that the uncommon word can be input quickly and conveniently, thereby improving the user's input experience.

[0046] Optional, combined Figure 1 ,like Figure 3 As shown, before the above step 101, the input method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 104.

[0047] Step 104: When a preset condition is met, the electronic device recognizes uncommon words in the target interface.

[0048] The above-mentioned preset conditions include at least one of the following: receiving a preset input of the user for the target interface; reaching a preset recognition time interval; and each time the target interface receives a message.

[0049] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned preset condition is receiving a preset input from a user for a target interface, which means that when the electronic device receives a preset input from a user for a target interface, the electronic device is triggered to recognize uncommon words in the target interface. The preset input may be a physical key input to the electronic device, and the physical key is used to trigger the electronic device to recognize uncommon words in the target interface; the preset input may also be a voice input from the user, and the content of the voice input is used to instruct the electronic device to recognize uncommon words in the target interface; the preset input may also be a touch input to the target interface of the electronic device, and the touch input may be any of the following: single click, double click, long press, slide along a preset track, etc. The specific operation may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific limitations.

[0050] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned preset condition is reaching a preset recognition time interval, which means that the electronic device recognizes uncommon words in the target interface according to a preset time period, that is, when the time interval associated with the preset time period is reached, the electronic device automatically starts to recognize uncommon words in the target interface. It should be noted that if the interface of the electronic device is an interface that is updated in real time, then the automatic recognition can be for the updated content, or for the entire interface, etc. The specific conditions can be determined according to actual use needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0051] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned preset condition is that every time the target interface receives a message, it means that every time the currently displayed target interface receives a message, the electronic device automatically detects the content of the message to identify uncommon words. When an uncommon word is identified, the electronic device can directly add the uncommon word to the uncommon word library. It should be noted that in order to reduce the workload of the electronic device for detection, the electronic device can determine a message received at the most recent moment, and detect uncommon words in the content of the message. In this way, every time the target interface receives a message, the content of the message is identified as an uncommon word, thereby shortening the detection cycle and making the uncommon word detection more real-time.

[0052] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the method in which the electronic device recognizes uncommon words in the target interface can be specifically implemented through the following steps A and B.

[0053] Step A: The electronic device identifies all words in the target interface, and matches the original encoding strings associated with all words with the preset encoding strings associated with the user input method vocabulary.

[0054] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, during the process of matching the original coding string with the preset coding string associated with the user input method dictionary, the matching can be performed according to a preset matching priority. The preset matching priority can be set according to the user's usage habits, syntactic structure habits, vocabulary composition habits, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0055] Step B: The electronic device determines the words in which the original coding string does not match the preset coding string as target rare words.

[0056] It should be noted that the essence of the above recognition process is: whether each word can be quickly input through the user input method dictionary. If not, the word is a target rare word. That is, the original coding string associated with each word is compared with the preset coding string associated with the same word in the user input method dictionary. When the original coding string does not match the preset coding string, the word is determined as a target rare word.

[0057] Exemplarily, as Figure 2 shown in (a) of, the electronic device compares the original coding string "fldd" associated with the word "fulong diandang" in the chat interface with the preset string "fulongdd" of "fulong diandang" in the user input method dictionary (wherein, in the user input method dictionary: "fldd" is associated with "fuli duoduo"). When "fldd" in the user input method dictionary is not associated with "fulong diandang" (that is, the original coding string does not match the preset coding string), the electronic device determines "fulong diandang" as a target rare word and can add it to the rare word library.

[0058] It can be understood that since the electronic device can identify the rare words in the target interface and add the identified target rare words to the rare word library when the preset input for the target interface is received, the preset recognition time interval is reached, or each message is received by the target interface and other preset conditions are met. In this way, the user can determine the triggering method for identifying the target interface according to actual usage needs, thereby facilitating the user and improving the user experience.

[0059] Optionally, in combination with Figure 1 , as Figure 4 shown, M candidate words are displayed in the candidate area; the target rare words include S rare words, the M candidate words include the S rare words and M - S first candidate words, and the M - S first candidate words do not belong to the rare word library. S is a positive integer, and S is less than or equal to M. After the above step 103, the input method provided by the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps 105 and 106.

[0060] Step 105, the electronic device receives a second input for the first target rare word among the S rare words.

[0061] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned S rare words are rare words determined from the rare word library and associated with the target coding string. The M - S first candidate words are words matched from other word libraries except rare words and associated with the target coding string. Among them, the other word library can be any one of the following: user word library, input method word library, general word library, etc. As in the above Figure 2 exemplary, the target coding string "ffdd" can be associated with "auxiliary long pawn" and "fu lu pawn" in the rare word library (i.e., S = 2, including two target rare words), and can be associated with "a lot of benefits", "sent", "legal", etc. in the general word library (i.e., M = 5, M - S = 3, that is, three first candidate words).

[0062] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned candidate area refers to the area where the electronic device displays multiple candidate words after the user inputs the coding string. For example, Figure 2 candidate area 007 in the above. It should be noted that the candidate area can be independently displayed in a certain area of the target interface, or can be displayed together with the input method keyboard (such as Figure 2 the display method in the above). The specific display position and display method can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0063] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned second input is used to determine the first target rare word from the S rare words. Specifically, the first input can be a touch input for the first target rare word among the S approval words when the electronic device displays the S rare words. The first input can also be a touch input for the first identifier among the S identifiers associated with the S rare words (each rare word is associated with an identifier), and the electronic device determines the rare word associated with the first identifier as the first target rare word in response to the touch input. Among them, the touch input can be any one of the following: single click, double click, long press, drag along a preset trajectory, etc. Specifically, it can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations.

[0064] Step 106, the electronic device displays the first target rare word in the input box on the target interface in response to the second input.

[0065] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the input box on the above-mentioned target interface refers to an input box where the user can input the reply content, and the user can edit the input content in the input box and then send it. For example, the input box on the target interface can specifically be Figure 2 Message reply column 006 shown in (b) etc.

[0066] It should be noted that displaying the first target uncommon word in the input box of the target interface can facilitate the user to reconfirm whether the input content is what the user needs, and can re-edit the content in the input box, thereby facilitating user use.

[0067] It is understandable that, when the target uncommon words include multiple uncommon words, the electronic device can display multiple uncommon words and the first candidate word in the candidate area, and the user can select the first target uncommon word from the multiple uncommon words, thereby triggering the electronic device to display the first target uncommon word in the input field of the target interface. That is, when the target uncommon words include multiple uncommon words, the user can manually select the first target uncommon word the user needs, so that the first target uncommon word the user needs can be input more quickly and accurately.

[0068] Optional, combined Figure 1 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the target encoding string includes a first string and a second string, the first string is used to indicate a candidate word matching the target string, and the second string is used to indicate a target contact, and the target contact is one of the multiple contacts included in the target interface. The "displaying M candidate words associated with the target encoding string" in the above step 103 can be specifically implemented by the following steps 103a and 103b.

[0069] Step 103a: The electronic device determines M candidate words according to the first character string.

[0070] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the second string is used to indicate that the target interface includes one of the multiple contacts. Specifically, the second string can be any of the following: a nickname of the indicated contact, a phone number of the indicated contact, a string identifier of the indicated contact, etc.

[0071] For example, assuming that the target interface is a group chat interface including user A, user B and user C, and user A mentions "Fulong Pawn" in one of his chat contents, and user B mentions "Fulong Pawn" in another of his chat contents. Then, the user can input the target encoding string as "ffdd-A", where the first string "ffdd" is used to indicate the target uncommon word, and "-A" is the second string to indicate the target contact user A.

[0072] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned determination of M candidate words based on the first character string means that the electronic device matches the first character string with the uncommon word library and other word libraries to obtain M candidate words that meet the requirements. The M candidate words may include multiple uncommon words. Among them, the following second character string is used to quickly determine the target uncommon word from multiple uncommon words based on the historical chat records of the target contact, that is, the historical chat records of the target contact include the target uncommon word.

[0073] Step 103b: The electronic device determines a target uncommon word from the M candidate words according to the second character string, and displays the target uncommon word.

[0074] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the specific method for the electronic device to determine the target uncommon vocabulary from the M candidate vocabulary based on the second character string may be: the electronic device first determines M candidate vocabulary from the uncommon vocabulary library based on the first character string (wherein the M candidate vocabulary may include multiple uncommon vocabulary); then, the electronic device may detect all chat records of the target contact indicated by the second character based on the second character, and then determine the target uncommon vocabulary belonging to the above-mentioned M candidate vocabulary from these chat records.

[0075] Exemplarily, assume that the target interface is a group chat interface including user A, user B, and user C, and user A mentions "Fulong Pawn" in a chat content, and user B mentions "Fulong Pawn" in a chat content. If the user can input the target coding string as "ffdd-A", wherein the first string is "ffdd" used to indicate the target uncommon word, and "-A" is the second string used to indicate the target contact user A. Then, the electronic device can filter out "Fulong Pawn" and "Fulu Pawn" according to the first string "ffdd", and then compare the target uncommon word associated with "ffdd" from the chat record of user A according to the second string "-A" to obtain "Fulong Pawn". Subsequently, after determining the target uncommon word, the electronic device can display the target uncommon word as "Fulong Pawn".

[0076] It is understandable that the electronic device can indicate M candidate words matching the target string according to the first string, and then the electronic device can determine the target uncommon word from the M candidate words according to the second string, and display the target uncommon word. In this way, the electronic device can quickly and accurately determine the target uncommon word from multiple candidate words according to the target contact, and display it, so as to facilitate the user's use.

[0077] Optional, combined Figure 1 ,like Figure 6As shown, the target rare words include S rare words. The above step 103 can be specifically implemented by the following step 103c and step 103d, and either step 103c or step 103d is executed.

[0078] Step 103c: When the electronic device responds to the first input and the target rare words include M rare words, the electronic device displays the M rare words according to the first sorting rule.

[0079] Among them, the above first sorting rule includes at least one of the following: the usage frequency of the rare words associated with the target coding string in the target interface; the sending time of the rare words associated with the target coding string in the target interface; the target priority of the rare words associated with the target coding string in the target interface.

[0080] It should be noted that the above target priority can be determined by other content in the target content except for the rare words. For example, words, symbols (such as the following "@", "&"), expressions, etc. other than the rare words in a sentence.

[0081] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above first sorting rule is the usage frequency of the rare words associated with the target coding string in the target interface, which means that the electronic device can set the display order of the M rare words according to the high and low usage frequencies of the rare words. Among them, the display order can be directly proportional or inversely proportional to the usage frequency.

[0082] Exemplarily, assume that the word "辅窿典当" appears 3 times in a certain chat interface, and the word "福禄典当" only appears 1 time. Then when the user inputs the target string "fldd", the electronic device can display "辅窿典当" at the first position in the candidate area and display "福禄典当" at the second position next to the first position. Among them, the position on the left of the candidate area is the position for displaying words with a higher usage frequency.

[0083] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the sending time of the rare words associated with the target coding string in the target interface indicates that the electronic device can set the display order of the M rare words according to the sending time of the content including the rare words. Among them, the display order can be that the ones received later are displayed first, and the ones received earlier are displayed later, that is, they are displayed in reverse order of the receiving time.

[0084] Exemplarily, assume that in a certain chat interface, five minutes ago, the content sent by user A included "Fulong Pawnshop"; one minute ago, the content sent by user B included "Fulu Pawnshop". Then, when the user inputs the target string "fldd", the electronic device can display "Fulong Pawnshop" at the left position in the candidate area and "Fulu Pawnshop" at the right position. Among them, the left position in the candidate area is used to display the vocabulary that is closest to the current time and matches the target string.

[0085] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the target priority of the rare vocabulary associated with the target encoding string in the above target interface refers to the priority determined by the electronic device according to other content in the target content except for the rare vocabulary, and the display order of M rare vocabularies is set. Among them, the target content can be a sentence or a paragraph sent by a user, and the target content includes the target rare vocabulary. The target priority can be determined by whether the target content includes a preset priority identifier. If it includes the preset priority identifier, the target rare vocabulary in the sentence is preferentially displayed. The user can set the preset priority identifier according to actual usage requirements. For example, it can be "@", "&", etc.

[0086] Exemplarily, assume that in a certain chat group, a chat record of user A is "Xiaoli, I recommend it to you today. The Fulong Pawnshop you mentioned last time is very good, @". Then, the electronic device can, according to the sentence including the preset priority identifier "@", when the user inputs the target string "fldd", display the high-priority target rare vocabulary "Fulong Pawnshop" at the left position in the candidate area. Among them, the left position in the candidate area is used to display the vocabulary with a higher priority among the vocabularies that match the target string.

[0087] Step 103d: In response to the first input, when the target rare vocabulary includes S rare vocabularies and M candidate vocabularies include S rare vocabularies and M - S first candidate vocabularies, the electronic device displays the S rare vocabularies and the M - S first candidate vocabularies according to the second sorting rule.

[0088] Among them, the display rule of the above S rare vocabularies is the first sorting rule. The second sorting rule is that the S rare vocabularies are displayed in the first area, and the M - S first candidate vocabularies are displayed in the second area. The first area and the second area are different display areas.

[0089] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the specific sorting method for displaying the M - S first candidate vocabularies according to the first sorting rule can refer to the specific description of the first sorting rule in step 103c above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0090] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the priority of the first area is higher than the priority of the second area. Specifically, in actual use, the first area and the second area can be two different areas that are set apart, and the first area and the second area can also be sub-areas at two different positions of the same area. The embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited. Exemplarily, the first area can be the top area of ​​the electronic screen, and the second area can be the bottom area of ​​the electronic device; the first area can be the left area of ​​the candidate area, and the second area can be the right area of ​​the candidate area.

[0091] It is understandable that, since the electronic device can display uncommon words according to the first sorting rule, and display multiple uncommon words and multiple first candidate words according to the second sorting rule, the electronic device can display words with a high probability of being used by the user at a position convenient for the user to select according to the user's usage habits, so as to facilitate the user's operation, thereby saving the user's time and improving the user's usage experience.

[0092] It should be noted that the input method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by an input device or a control module in the input device for executing the input method.

The receiving module 702 can also be used to receive a second input of a first target uncommon word among the S uncommon words after displaying the M candidate words associated with the target coded string. The display module 703 can also be used to display the first target uncommon word in the input box of the target interface in response to the second input received by the receiving module 702.

[0095] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target encoded string includes a first string and a second string, the first string is used to indicate a candidate word matching the target string, and the second string is used to indicate a target contact, which is one of the multiple contacts in the target interface. The processing module 701 can be specifically used to determine M candidate words according to the first string; and determine the target uncommon word from the M candidate words according to the second string; and control the display module to display the target uncommon word.

[0096] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target uncommon words include S uncommon words. Display module 703 can be specifically used to display the M uncommon words according to the first sorting rule when the target uncommon words include M uncommon words; or, when the target uncommon words include S uncommon words and the M candidate words include S uncommon words and MS first candidate words, display the S uncommon words and the MS first candidate words according to the second sorting rule, and the display rule of the S uncommon words is the first sorting rule. Among them, the first sorting rule includes at least one of the following: the frequency of use of the uncommon words associated with the target coding string in the target interface; the sending time of the uncommon words associated with the target coding string in the target interface; the target priority of the uncommon words associated with the target coding string in the target interface. The second sorting rule is that the S uncommon words are displayed in the first area, and the MS first candidate words are displayed in the second area, and the first area and the second area are different display areas.

[0097] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the processing module 701 can also be used to identify uncommon words in the target interface when a preset condition is met. The preset condition includes at least one of the following: receiving a preset input of the user for the target interface; reaching a preset recognition time interval; and each time the target interface receives a message.

Subsequently, if the user needs to input the target uncommon word, the user triggers the input device to display the M candidate words including the target uncommon word by inputting the target coding string associated with the target uncommon word. Compared with the related art, this method does not need to determine each uncommon word in the uncommon word one by one after the user inputs the target coding string, so that the uncommon word can be input quickly and conveniently, thereby improving the user's input experience.
