[0078] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0079] One of the core concepts of the embodiments of this application is that the user can establish an NFC communication connection between an electronic device with convenient input and an electronic device with inconvenient input. The user can input input information through the electronic device with convenient input, and based on the NFC communication connection with the device, send the input information to the electronic device with inconvenient input to be displayed on the input box.

[0080] Referring to Figure 1 , a step flowchart of an input method provided by an embodiment of this application is shown. The method may specifically include the following steps:

[0081] Step 101, the first device obtains the input information input by the user.

[0082] In the embodiments of this application, the first device may be installed with an input method. The user can input input information through the input method on the first device. The input information may include information related to input, such as input sequences, candidate items, and information displayed on the screen (that is, the information in the input box). In an alternative embodiment of this application, the first device may obtain the input information input by the user on the input interface of the input method.

[0083] The input sequence is the content directly input by the user received by the input method. The input method can convert this input content into candidate items according to the input method currently used by the user and provide them for the user to select. The user can select the candidate item to be displayed on the screen in the input box as the information displayed on the screen.

[0084] In the embodiments of the application, the first device may be an electronic device convenient for the user to input, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, etc. The input method of the first device supports multiple input methods. For example, pinyin input, stroke input, Wubi input, voice input, and handwriting input, etc. Through any of the above input methods, the user can complete the input of the input sequence. For input methods such as pinyin input, stroke input, and Wubi input, the input sequence is usually an encoded string input by the user through a keyboard, a touch screen, etc.; for handwriting input, the input sequence may be the movement trajectory input by the user through a handwriting board, a touch screen, etc. This application does not limit the user's input method, and the user can use any input method.

[0085] In an alternative embodiment of this application, the first device may respond to the user's operation and open the input interface of the input method, so that the user can input input information on the input interface.

[0086] Step 102, based on the NFC communication connection with the second device, send the input information to the second device, so that the second device performs information display on the screen in the input box according to the input information.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the second device may be an electronic device that is not convenient for user input, such as a smart TV or a smart projector without a touch screen. For electronic devices without a touch screen, they are currently mainly controlled and input through a remote control or a console. The input method on the second device supports input based on a remote control or a console, so the input efficiency is low and the operation is inconvenient.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, both the first device and the second device have NFC (Near Field Communication) modules. By bringing the first device close to the second device so that the distance between the two devices is within the NFC communication range, the NFC module of the first device and the NFC module of the second device establish an NFC communication connection. The NFC peer-to-peer mode enables data transmission between the first device and the second device. Based on the NFC peer-to-peer mode, the input method of the first device can transmit data to the input method of the second device.

[0089] Based on the NFC communication between the first device and the second device, the input method of the first device can send input information to the input method of the second device, so that the input method of the second device screens the information in the input box according to the input information.

[0090] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, when the first device and the second device establish an NFC communication connection, the first device may open the input interface of the input method in response to the establishment of the NFC communication connection with the second device.

[0091] The first device can immediately open the input interface of the input method when the NFC communication connection with the second device is successfully established, so that the user can immediately input input information, saving the time for the user to open the input interface of the input method.

[0092] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the first device may establish an NFC communication connection with the second device before obtaining the input information input by the user. The step 102 may include: when obtaining the input information input by the user, if an NFC communication connection has been established with the second device, the input information is sent to the second device in real time based on the NFC communication connection with the second device.

[0093] For example, a mobile phone with NFC function is brought into contact with a TV to establish an NFC communication connection, and an input interface is opened through the input method of the mobile phone. When the TV obtains the focus of the input box, the user can input through the input interface on the mobile phone side, and the on-screen information is transmitted to the TV in real time and screened on the input box of the TV.

[0094] In another alternative embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the input information entered by the user, the first device may establish an NFC communication connection with the second device. When obtaining the input information entered by the user, if the NFC communication connection with the second device has not been established, the first device may store the input information. The step 102 may include: when the NFC communication connection with the second device is established, based on the NFC communication connection with the second device, sending the stored input information to the second device.

[0095] For example, when the input interface of the mobile phone's input method is opened and the text "sports meeting" is entered, after the TV obtains the focus of the input box, the user touches the mobile phone with NFC function and the TV, and the on-screen information "sports meeting" of the mobile phone is transmitted to the TV through NFC peer-to-peer transmission and is displayed on the input box of the TV.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the first device may obtain the input information entered by the user; based on the NFC communication connection with the second device, send the input information to the second device so that the second device can perform information on-screen in the input box according to the input information. In the embodiment of the present application, the user can send the input information through the first device that is convenient for input to the second device that is not convenient for input and perform information on-screen in the input box according to the input information, so that the user can quickly and conveniently perform information on-screen in the input box of the second device and improve the user input efficiency.

[0097] Refer to Figure 2 , which shows the step flow chart of another input method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method may specifically include the following steps:

[0098] Step 201, the second device receives the input information sent by the first device based on the NFC communication connection with the first device.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the second device may be an electronic device that is not convenient for the user to input, such as a smart TV or a smart projector without a touch screen. By bringing the first device close to the second device so that the distance between the two devices is within the NFC communication range, the NFC module of the first device and the NFC module of the second device establish an NFC communication connection. The second device may receive the input information sent by the first device based on the NFC communication connection.

[0100] Step 202, perform information on-screen in the input box according to the input information.

[0101] When the user needs to input on the second device, the user can select the required input box. For example, for a TV, the user can select "Search" on the menu page through the remote control and enter the search page, and there may be an input box on the search page for the user to enter keywords.

[0102] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that the input box gains focus, the input information can be displayed on the input box according to the input information. If the input box gains focus, it means that input can be performed in the input box; if the input box does not gain focus, it means that input cannot be performed in the input box.

[0103] When the input information is received, if the second device does not detect that the input box gains focus, the input information is stored. After detecting that the input box gains focus, the second device then displays the input information on the input box according to the stored input information.

[0104] In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the input information may include the information displayed on the input interface of the input method of the first device; step 202 may include: displaying the information displayed on the input interface of the input method of the first device on the input box.

[0105] Specifically, the user can input an input sequence on the input interface of the input method of the first device. The input method of the first device can query and display the matching candidates according to the input sequence; based on the user's selection operation, the selected candidate is used as the information to be displayed and is displayed on the input box of the input interface. The input method of the first device can send the information to be displayed in the input box of the input interface to the input method of the second device based on the NFC communication connection, and the input method of the second device can display the information to be displayed on the input box of the second device.

[0106] In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the input information includes the candidates determined according to the input sequence on the input interface of the input method of the first device; step 202 may include: displaying the candidates determined according to the input sequence on the input interface of the input method of the first device; determining the target candidate selected by the user, and displaying the target candidate on the input box.

[0107] Specifically, the user can input an input sequence on the input interface of the input method of the first device. The input method of the first device can query the matching candidates according to the input sequence; the input method of the first device can send the candidates to the input method of the second device based on the NFC communication connection, and the input method of the second device can display the candidates; based on the user's selection operation, the selected target candidate is used as the information to be displayed and is displayed on the input box of the second device.

[0108] In another alternative embodiment of the present application, the input information includes the input sequence on the input interface of the input method of the first device; step 202 may include: searching for and displaying the candidates matching the input sequence; determining the target candidate selected by the user, and displaying the target candidate on the input box.

[0109] Specifically, the user can input an input sequence on the input interface of the input method of the first device. The input method of the first device can send the input sequence to the input method of the second device based on the NFC communication connection. The input method of the second device can query and display the matching candidate items according to the input sequence, and use the selected target candidate item as the input information to be inputted onto the input box of the second device based on the user's selection operation.

[0110] In the embodiment of the present application, the second device receives the input information sent by the first device based on the NFC communication connection with the first device, and inputs the information onto the input box according to the input information. In the embodiment of the present application, the user can send the input information from the first device that is convenient for input to the second device that is not convenient for input, and input the information onto the input box according to the input information, so that the user can quickly and conveniently input the information onto the input box of the second device, improving the user input efficiency.
