Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method and device for inputting characters on a mobile terminal. Background Art

[0002] When the mobile character input box is implemented using native technology (iso or android), different controls can be selected according to the terminal type, but because different operating systems need to be developed independently and need to be adapted to many models, the implementation is cumbersome. At present, most people use h5 (HTML5, Hypertext 5.0) technology, which is mobile web technology, to develop mobile character input boxes to realize character input. At present, there are two solutions to use h5 technology to realize character input. The first solution is to use the input tag of html technology with the native input keyboard of the mobile terminal to realize the character input box for character input; the second solution is to use a custom tag to render the input box style, and then use a custom character keyboard to simulate the user input process, bind the user's input content to the value of the input box, and achieve the purpose of simulating character input and display.

[0003] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the prior art:

[0004] Solution 1 does not support customization of the input box style and the native input keyboard, so character input is not flexible enough. Although Solution 2 supports custom settings, it does not support users to enter characters in the middle of a string of characters by inserting them. It only supports character input at the end of the characters, which makes character input inconvenient and the interactive experience is not good enough. Summary of the invention

[0037] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0038] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for mobile terminal character input, so that the character input box developed based on h5 technology supports flexible customization on the one hand and can simulate any input scenario, and on the other hand, has no interactive dead angles, allowing users to input characters in an inserting manner, so that character input is convenient and the interactive experience is good.

[0039] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the main steps of the method for inputting characters on a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1As shown, the method for mobile terminal character input according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S101 to S105.

[0040] Step S101: Obtain the document object model of the page to be displayed, and render and generate a character input box based on the custom tags in the document object model. In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to support a flexible and custom character input box, a character input box is developed based on the h5 technology. Specifically, the document object model DOM model of the page to be displayed must first be obtained, and then the character input box must be rendered and generated based on the custom tags in the document object model DOM model, wherein the custom tags are, for example, a custom character input keyboard. In an embodiment of the present invention, characters include, for example, uppercase English characters, lowercase English characters, numbers, special characters, and the like.

[0041] Step S102: Use inline element tags to render each character of the string in the character input box separately. Inline elements are elements that only occupy the width and height of their own content by default. Their height or width cannot be changed. The width and height can only be changed after being converted into block-level elements. Inline element tags refer to the tags corresponding to inline elements. The height, width, line height, and top and bottom margins cannot be set directly. The width and height of the tags are completely supported by the content. There can be multiple inline element tags in a row. Inline element tags include, for example, span tags, a tags, em tags, strong tags, b tags, i tags, u tags, label tags, br tags, and the like. By using inline tags to render characters, multiple characters in a row can be rendered separately.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, each character of the string in the character input box is rendered separately using an inline element tag, which may specifically include: converting the string in the character input box into an array; traversing each character in the array, and rendering each character into an independent inline element tag. In the embodiment of the present invention, the string takes a numeric string as an example, and the numeric string includes numeric characters and a decimal point symbol. Therefore, when rendering each character in the numeric string separately, each numeric character and decimal point symbol in the numeric string is rendered separately as a character. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a string rendering effect according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, it shows the effect of rendering each character in the digital string "323232.33" in the character input box separately. Among them, the part without characters input in the character input box can be rendered as a separate character position.

[0043] Step S103: monitor the click event of each character after rendering. In the embodiment of the present invention, each character corresponds to a DOM object in the HTML5 page frame. By monitoring the touchstart event of the DOM object of each character, the click event of each character after rendering can be monitored. The approximate position of the character input by the user can be preliminarily determined through the user's click event.

[0044] Step S104: In response to monitoring the click event of the character, the user's input position is determined according to the user's click position and the coordinate interval of the character. By monitoring the user's click event, it is possible to determine which character the user currently clicks (taking a numeric string as an example, the characters here include numeric characters and decimal points). Afterwards, it is necessary to further calculate whether the input position of the user's click intention is before or after the current digit. Among them, if the character position clicked by the user is a part of the character input box where no characters have been entered, the cursor can be directly inserted in the character position to enter the character.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when determining the user's input position based on the user's click position and the coordinate interval of the character, it can specifically include: respectively obtaining the horizontal coordinate of the user's click position and the coordinate interval of the horizontal coordinate of the character; determining the user's input position based on the horizontal coordinate of the click position and the coordinate interval of the horizontal coordinate of the character. Since the height information of the in-line elements does not need to be considered, the user's input position can be determined only by comparing the horizontal coordinates. Specifically, the user's input position can be determined by comparing the horizontal coordinate of the user's click position and the horizontal coordinate interval of the character.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present invention, determining the user's input position according to the coordinate interval of the horizontal coordinate of the click position and the horizontal coordinate of the character may specifically include: obtaining the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character according to the coordinate interval of the horizontal coordinate of the character; comparing the horizontal coordinate of the click position with the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, if the horizontal coordinate of the click position is less than the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, the user's input position is between the character and the previous character of the character; otherwise, the user's input position is between the character and the next character of the character. By obtaining the horizontal coordinate interval of the character clicked by the user, the width of the character clicked by the user and the center coordinate of the character, that is, the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, can be obtained. Then, by comparing the horizontal coordinate of the user's click position with the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, it can be determined whether the user's click position is in the left half or the right half of the character. If the horizontal coordinate of the user's click position is less than the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, it means that the user's click position is in the left half of the character, and the user's input position is determined to be before the character, otherwise, the user's input position is determined to be after the character. Specifically, when obtaining the horizontal coordinate of the user's click position, it can be obtained through the page8 attribute returned by the touchstart event. The horizontal coordinate of the character clicked by the user, that is, the horizontal coordinate of the DOM object of the clicked character, can be obtained by recursively adding the horizontal coordinate of the parent object of the currently clicked DOM object, where the root coordinate is the horizontal coordinate of the HTML object.

[0047] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the input position determination principle of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, assuming that the click event monitored is a click event in which the user clicks on the numeric character 2, the horizontal coordinate of the user's click position can be compared with the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the numeric character 2 to determine whether the user's expected input position is in front of or behind the numeric character 2.

[0048] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of input positions according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the positions between each character can be numbered, and the position after the last character is numbered as a whole input position. Specifically, if the user's input position is between two 3s after the decimal point, the user's input position is position 4 in the figure.

[0049] Step S105: Move the cursor to the input position to input characters. After obtaining the input position expected by the user, the cursor can be moved to the corresponding position and the input interaction operation can be started.

[0050] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a mobile terminal character input implementation process according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, taking a numeric string as an example, when a user inputs characters on a mobile terminal, the specific interaction process is as follows:

[0051] 1. The user clicks a character in the character input box, including numeric characters and decimal points;

[0052] 2. Determine the character clicked by the user by monitoring the character click event;

[0053] 3. If there is no character at the position where the user clicks, insert the cursor directly at the position where the user clicks;

[0054] 4. If there is a character at the user click position, determine whether the user click position is in the front half or the back half of the character based on the user click position and the horizontal coordinate interval of the character clicked by the user;

[0055] 5. If the user clicks on the first half of the character, insert the cursor before the character;

[0056] 6. If the user clicks on the second half of the character, the cursor is inserted after the character;

[0057] 7. Receive user input.

[0066] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the position determination module 604 can also be used to: obtain the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character according to the coordinate interval of the horizontal coordinate of the character; compare the horizontal coordinate of the click position with the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, if the horizontal coordinate of the click position is smaller than the middle coordinate of the horizontal coordinate of the character, the user's input position is between the character and the previous character of the character; otherwise, the user's input position is between the character and the next character of the character.

[0067] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the document object model of the page to be displayed, a character input box is generated based on the custom tag rendering in the document object model; using the inline element tag, each character of the string in the character input box is rendered separately; the click event of each rendered character is monitored; in response to the monitored click event of the character, the user's input position is determined according to the user's click position and the coordinate range of the character; the technical solution of moving the cursor to the input position for character input enables the character input box to support flexible customization on the one hand, and can simulate any input scenario, thereby ensuring the flexibility of the character input box; on the other hand, there is no interactive dead angle, and the user is supported to input characters in the middle insertion mode, which makes character input convenient and provides a good interactive experience.
