[0002] The commonly used keyboard of an input method application includes a 9-key pinyin keyboard and a 26-key pinyin keyboard, and specifically includes a Chinese keyboard, an English keyboard, a number keyboard, etc. When a user inputs content by using the input method application, the user can switch among various keyboards to trigger a required input mode.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese keyboard is usually taken as a default keyboard, and when a password, a license plate number or other non-Chinese characters need to be input, the user manually switches the Chinese keyboard to an English keyboard and then switches the case state of the English keyboard. In this process, if numbers need to be input, the user further needs to switch to a number keyboard. This way requires the user to switch keyboards multiple times in the input process, which affects the input efficiency. SUMMARY

[0018] Reference should be made to Figure 1Fig. 1 shows a flow 100 of an input method according to an embodiment of the present application. The input method described above can run on various electronic devices, including but not limited to servers, smartphones, tablet computers, e-book readers, MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) players, MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) players, laptop computers, in-vehicle computers, desktop computers, set-top boxes, smart TVs, wearable devices, and the like.

[0019] The electronic devices described above can be installed with various types of client applications, such as input method applications, web browser applications, instant messaging tools, shopping applications, search applications, email clients, social platform software, and the like.

[0020] The input method application mentioned in the embodiments of the present application can support multiple input methods. Among them, the input method can be an encoding method adopted to input various symbols to electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones. Users can use the input method application to conveniently input the required characters or character strings into the electronic devices. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the input method can support not only common Chinese input methods (such as pinyin input method, five-stroke input method, phonetic input method, voice input method, handwriting input method, etc.), but also input methods of other languages (such as English input method, Japanese hiragana input method, Korean input method, etc.), and the input method and the language types of the input method are not limited herein.

[0021] The input method in the embodiments can include the following steps:

[0022] Step 101, detecting the input scenario of the user.

[0023] In the embodiments, various types of client applications can be installed in the execution subject (such as the electronic devices described above) of the input method, such as input method applications, instant messaging applications, document editing applications, browsers, and the like. Among them, the input method application can be configured with multiple keyboards, and the default keyboard can be displayed each time the input method application is started. The default keyboard can be pre-set by the system or customized by the user, and is usually a Chinese keyboard. And 9-key pinyin keyboard, 26-key pinyin keyboard, and the like can be used. In addition to the default keyboard, the input method application can also be configured with English keyboard, number keyboard, symbol keyboard, and the like, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] In the embodiment, the input method application can also be configured with a target keyboard, which is an intelligent keyboard different from the existing conventional keyboard. The target keyboard can be automatically switched or automatically started in some special input scenarios to meet the input needs of the user in the special input scenarios.

[0025] In the embodiment, the execution subject can detect the input scenario of the user in real time when the input method application is started or in the user input process. The detection of the input scenario can include but is not limited to the following: detecting the input scenario through user behavior data, detecting the input scenario by obtaining the input box type, detecting the input scenario by intercepting and recognizing the display interface image, detecting the input scenario based on context information, etc. The input scenario can include but is not limited to the Chinese input scenario, the digital input scenario, the English character input scenario, the cross input scenario of English characters and numbers, etc.

[0026] In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the input scenario can be detected through user behavior data. The user behavior data can include the operation record of the user on the keyboard in the input method interface, such as the record of the keyboard switching operation, etc. The execution subject can analyze the record of the keyboard switching operation to determine the frequently used keyboard of the user, and thus determine the input scenario.

[0027] For example, if the operation record reflects that the user frequently switches between the number keyboard and the English keyboard manually, it can be considered that the input scenario is the cross input scenario of English characters and numbers. If the operation record reflects that the user switches the default keyboard to another keyboard, such as the number keyboard, when starting the input method application multiple times, it can be considered that the input scenario is the digital input scenario.

[0028] In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the input scenario can be detected by obtaining the input box type. First, the page data can be obtained, and the related information of the input box can be extracted from the page data. The input box here refers to the input box where the input position is located. The input position refers to the position where the input focus (such as the cursor, etc.) is located. The related information of the input box can include the description text, etc., such as “Please enter an 8-digit password containing English characters and numbers”, “Please enter the phone number”, etc. Then, the input scenario can be determined based on the related information of the input box. For example, the input scenario can be determined by performing semantic analysis on the description text.

[0029] As an example, when the description text is “Please enter an 8-digit password containing English characters and numbers”, since the password needs to contain English characters and numbers, it can be determined that the current input scenario is the cross input scenario of English characters and numbers. As another example, in the case where the recognized string is “Please enter the phone number”, since the phone number is usually a number, it can be determined that the current input scenario is the digital input scenario.

[0030] In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the input scene can be detected by intercepting and recognizing the display interface image. First, the display interface can be intercepted to obtain an interface image. Then, the characters in the interface image can be detected to determine the string in the interface image. Finally, the string can be subjected to semantic analysis to determine the current input scene.

[0031] As an example, in the license plate number input scene, there are usually strings such as “Please enter the license plate number: Beijing XXX” in the interface, where XXX is the content to be input by the user. After intercepting the display interface, the characters in the display interface can be detected to obtain the above string. By subjecting the above string to semantic analysis, it can be determined that the above string indicates that the user is inputting the license plate number, and at this time, it is determined that the current input scene is the license plate number input scene.

[0032] When intercepting the interface image, all or part of the interface image can be intercepted. When intercepting part, the current input position can be detected first. Then, the interface image of a preset size can be intercepted with the input position as the lower right corner, so as to avoid interference caused by useless characters in the screen. It should be noted that the input method application can be pre-configured to have a background screenshot function. After recognizing the characters in the interface image, the input method application can discard the intercepted interface image. In addition, the input method application can also call a local screenshot tool to realize screenshot, or prompt the user to manually intercept the screen, so as to detect the input scene according to the intercepted interface image and automatically switch the keyboard based on the detected input scene.

[0033] When detecting the characters in the interface image, the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology can be used. In this technology, the brightness of the interface image can be detected first to detect the dark and bright patterns of multiple regions of the interface image, and then the character shape is determined; then, the character shape is translated into computer text by using a character recognition method (such as a Euclidean space comparison method, a dynamic program comparison method, a neural network-based character comparison method, etc.).

[0034] When detecting the characters in the interface image, a convolutional neural network can also be used. The above execution subject can pre-store a pre-trained recognition model, which can be established based on a convolutional neural network and pre-trained, and can be used to recognize characters in an image. The above execution subject can input the interface image into the above recognition model to obtain the text information of the above target picture.

[0035] In the semantic analysis of the string, a pre-trained semantic analysis model can be used. The semantic analysis model can be pre-trained by a machine learning method, such as a supervised learning method.

[0036] In some optional implementations of the embodiment, the input scenario can be detected based on context information. Specifically, the execution subject described above can first acquire context information. The context information can include several pieces of content input or sent by the user recently. Then, the character type of the context information can be detected, so as to determine the input scenario based on the character type of the context information. The character type can include, but is not limited to, numbers, Chinese characters, English characters, symbols, etc. For example, the context information includes two pieces of content input or sent by the user recently, and the user has sent two English messages in the instant messaging tool successively, it can be considered that the type of the historical input content is English, so the current input scenario is determined to be an English input scenario.

[0037] It should be noted that the context information is not limited to the content input or sent by the user, but can also include the content received by the user, which can be sent by the opposite user. For example, if the context information is two pieces of information, and the latest two pieces of information in the instant messaging tool are an English message sent by the local user and another English message returned by the opposite user, it can be considered that the type of the historical input content is English, so the current input scenario is determined to be an English input scenario.

[0038] In addition, the rule for determining the input scenario based on the character of the context information can be pre-set. For example, when the character types in the context information are the same and neither is Chinese, the input scenario can be determined to be the input scenario corresponding to the character type in the context information. For another example, when the character types in the context information are different, the input scenario can be determined to be a cross-input scenario, and the specific category of the cross-input scenario can correspond to the character types in the context information.

[0039] It should be noted that the way of detecting the input scenario of the user is not limited to the way listed in the above examples, and other ways can also be used, which are not limited in the embodiment.

[0040] In step 102, in response to the input scenario being a target input scenario, the original keyboard in the input interface is switched to a target keyboard associated with the target input scenario.

[0041] In the embodiment, the target input scenario can include one or more of the input scenarios. For example, the target input scenario can include, but is not limited to, a number input scenario, an English character input scenario, a symbol input scenario, and can also include a cross-input scenario of at least two of the above, such as a cross-input scenario of English characters and numbers, a cross-input scenario of English characters, numbers and symbols, etc.

[0042] The digital input scenario can include, but is not limited to, a telephone number input scenario, a fax number input scenario, and various scenarios requiring digital input. The English character and number cross input scenario can include, but is not limited to, a password input scenario, a license plate number input scenario, a user name input scenario, an email input scenario, a programming input scenario, and the like. The English character, number, and symbol cross input scenario can include, but is not limited to, a user name input scenario, an email input scenario, and the like.

[0043] In this embodiment, different target input scenarios can be associated with different target keyboards. For example, for the English character, number, and symbol cross input scenario, the target keyboard can be a keyboard including number keys, English character keys, and symbol keys. For the English character and number cross input scenario, the target keyboard can be a keyboard including number keys and English character keys. For the digital input scenario, the target keyboard can be a number keyboard.

[0044] In addition, different target input scenarios can also be associated with the same target keyboard. For example, the English character and number cross input scenario and the digital input scenario can both be associated with a keyboard including number keys and English character keys.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the execution subject detects that the current input scenario is a target input scenario, the execution subject can switch the original keyboard in the input interface to a target keyboard associated with the target input scenario. The input interface can include a display interface of an input method application. The original keyboard can be a default keyboard of the input method application or a certain keyboard preset by a user.

[0046] As an example, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a target keyboard. When the input position is in a password input box, the default Chinese keyboard can be automatically switched to the target keyboard as shown in Figure 2 The target keyboard can include number keys and English character keys.

[0047] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, to avoid user disturbance caused by automatic switching of the target keyboard and to avoid the target keyboard not meeting user usage habits, when the execution subject detects that the current input scenario is a target input scenario, the execution subject can first display guidance information. In response to detecting that a user triggers the target keyboard based on the guidance information, the execution subject switches the original keyboard in the input interface to the target keyboard.

[0048] The guidance information is used to guide the user to trigger the target keyboard. The guidance information can be in the form of an identifier, a key, a text chain, or the like. As an example in the form of a text chain, after detecting that the current input scenario is a target input scenario, a text chain "click XX key to switch XXX keyboard" can be displayed in the input method interface to prompt the user to switch the target keyboard.

[0049] In some scenarios, when the target input scenario is a number input scenario, the target keyboard can display number keys, and the input mode of the target keyboard is a number input mode.

[0050] In some scenarios, when the target input scenario is an English character input scenario, the target keyboard can display English character keys, and the input mode of the target keyboard is an English input mode.

[0051] In some scenarios, when the target input scenario is an English character and number cross input scenario, the target keyboard displays both number keys and English character keys, and the input mode of the target keyboard is an English input mode.

[0052] When the target keyboard contains English character keys, after switching the original keyboard in the input interface to the target keyboard, in response to detecting that a user clicks an English character key, the above-mentioned execution subject can output the lowercase English character corresponding to the English character key as input content. In response to detecting that a user long-presses the English character key, the above-mentioned execution subject can output the uppercase English character corresponding to the English character key as input content. In addition, the above-mentioned execution subject can also output the uppercase English character corresponding to the English character key as input content. In response to detecting that a user long-presses the English character key, the above-mentioned execution subject can output the lowercase English character corresponding to the English character key as input content. In this way, without the user performing a case switching operation, uppercase English characters and lowercase English characters can be flexibly input using the same keyboard. In this way, without the user performing a case switching operation, uppercase English characters and lowercase English characters can be flexibly input using the same keyboard.

[0053] In some optional implementations of the embodiment, after switching the original keyboard in the input interface to the target keyboard associated with the target input scenario, in response to detecting that a user performs at least one of the following operations, the target keyboard is exited: exiting the target input scenario (such as exiting a current application, exiting a current page, etc.), switching the target input scenario to another input scenario (such as changing the input position to another input box), performing a closing operation on the target keyboard (such as triggering a closing key in the target keyboard, etc.). After the target keyboard is exited, a default keyboard can be automatically displayed, or the input method application can be exited.

[0054] The method provided by the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application can automatically switch the keyboard according to the input scenario, without the user manually switching the keyboard, so that the input operation is more convenient, and the input efficiency is improved.
