[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant invention, rather than to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a process 100 of an embodiment of the input method according to the present application. The above input method can be run on various electronic devices, including but not limited to: servers, smart phones, 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, car computers, desktop computers, set-top boxes, smart TVs, wearable devices, etc.

[0031] The input method application mentioned in the embodiment of the present application can support multiple input methods. Among them, the input method can be a coding method used to input various symbols into electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones. Users can use the input method application to conveniently input the required characters or strings into electronic devices. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, in addition to supporting common Chinese input methods (such as pinyin input method, Wubi input method, Zhuyin input method, voice input method, handwriting input method, etc.), the input method can also support input methods of other languages ​​(such as English input method, Japanese Hiragana input method, Korean input method, etc.), and no limitation is made on the input method and the language type of the input method.

[0032] The input method in this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0033] Step 101: when it is detected that a user triggers a specific function of an input method application, a target input box is created in an input method keyboard panel.

[0034] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the input method (such as the above-mentioned electronic device) may be installed with an input method application. When the user uses the input method application to input, an input method keyboard panel may be presented, and the user may click the buttons in the panel to input the input string, select the candidate items, and display the candidate items on the screen.

[0035] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution subject can detect the user's operation in the input method application in real time. When it is detected that the user triggers a specific function of the input method application, a target input box located in the input method keyboard panel can be created. The target input box is the input box located in the input method keyboard panel. In practice, after the specific function is triggered, the target input box will be presented inside the input method keyboard panel. The specific function can be an input method function that requires an input box to be displayed inside the input method keyboard panel, such as a translation function, an emoticon search function, etc.

[0036] As an example, for the translation function, it is necessary to first display the content to be translated in the translation box inside the input method keyboard panel, then translate the content to be translated into the target language content, and then display the target language content in the input box of the application outside the input method keyboard panel. The translation box is the input box inside the input method keyboard panel. When the user starts the translation service, a target input box located inside the input method keyboard panel can be created.

[0037] As another example, for the emoji search function, you need to first put the search word on the screen in the search box inside the input method keyboard panel, then search for emojis based on the search word, and then put the selected emoji on the screen in the input box of the application outside the input method keyboard panel. The search box is the input box inside the input method keyboard panel. When the user starts the emoji search service, a target input box located in the input method keyboard panel can be created.

[0038] It is understandable that the input box is usually not displayed inside the input method keyboard panel, and the information displayed on the screen by the user is usually directly displayed in the system input box outside the input method interface. For example, a local user uses an instant messaging application to interact with a peer user. After the user enters an input string in the input method keyboard panel, several candidate items will be displayed in the input method keyboard panel. After the user clicks on a candidate item, the candidate item is displayed on the screen in the input box in the instant messaging application interface (i.e., the system input box outside the input method interface). In this embodiment, the translation function, emoticon search function, etc. in the input method application have the need to display another independent input box inside the input method keyboard panel. Therefore, when it is detected that the user has started these specific functions, a target input box located in the input method keyboard panel can be created.

[0039] When creating a target input box, you can first use a UIView as a carrier to implement the text box UI style in the input method keyboard panel, then instantiate a UIView, add a subview to the UIView, and thus implement the text box style. The UIView represents a rectangular area on the screen.

[0040] In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the above-mentioned execution subject can create a target input box located in the input method keyboard panel through a preset input box control (which can be recorded as SGTextFiled) applicable to the above-mentioned input method keyboard panel. The preset input box control can be pre-created based on the system input box control (such as TextFiled) provided by the operating system (such as iOS operating system). The input box control can encapsulate a method for implementing the input box function. The above-mentioned execution subject can first call the preset input box control. Afterwards, the target input box located in the above-mentioned input method keyboard panel can be created through the preset input box control, for example, the target input box is obtained by instantiation.

[0041] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the input box control (which can be recorded as SGTextFileA) used to carry the target input box can be inherited from the above-mentioned preset input box control (i.e., SGTextFiled), and the preset input box control can be inherited from the system input box control (e.g., TextFiled). On this basis, the preset input box control (i.e., SGTextFiled) can re-implement the text protocol interface to display the same user interface style as the system input box control (i.e., TextFiled), and the preset input box control (i.e., SGTextFiled) can support the text protocol customized by the input method.

[0042] Step 102: Create an input box pointer for manipulating the target input box.

[0043] In this embodiment, the execution subject can create an input box pointer (recorded as SGTextDocumentA) for manipulating the target input box. The pointer can be a set of protocol pointers set in imitation of the system text protocol pointer (such as TextDocumentProxy) of the operating system, and its protocol is consistent with the system, and is used to replace the system pointer. By switching between the system text protocol pointer and the input box pointer, the on-screen operation of switching between the system input box and the target input box in the input method keyboard panel can be realized.

[0044] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution subject can create an input box pointer through a preset text protocol pointer (which can be recorded as SGTextDocumentProxy) applicable to the above-mentioned input method keyboard panel. The preset text protocol pointer can be a pre-set protocol pointer for operating the target input box in the input method keyboard panel, which can be encapsulated with a protocol for use by various services. The above-mentioned execution subject can first call the preset text protocol pointer applicable to the input method keyboard panel; and then create an input box pointer for manipulating the text in the target input box through the preset text protocol pointer, for example, creating an input box pointer (i.e., SGTextDocumentA) by instantiation.

[0045] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the input box pointer (ie, SGTextDocumentA) may inherit from the preset text protocol pointer (ie, SGTextDocumentProxy), and the preset text protocol pointer (ie, SGTextDocumentProxy) may inherit from the system text protocol pointer (ie, TextDocumentProxy).

[0046] Step 103: Based on the input box pointer, the content input by the user is moved onto the screen to the target input box.

[0047] In this embodiment, after the user triggers a specific function of the input method application and displays the target input box in the input method keyboard interface, the user can perform operations in the input method keyboard interface, such as editing the input string, selecting a candidate, etc. After the above-mentioned execution subject creates an input box pointer for manipulating the target input box, it can, based on the input box pointer, display the content input by the user to the target input box. Here, the content input by the user may include but is not limited to the candidate selected by the user during the input process, etc. The above-mentioned candidate items may include but are not limited to candidate words, candidate expressions, candidate pictures, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0048] In practice, after the user triggers a specific function of the input method application, two input boxes can be displayed in the interface, namely the target input box located inside the input method keyboard panel and the system input box located outside the input method keyboard panel. The system input box can be continuously displayed before the user triggers the specific function. When the user inputs content, such as entering a pinyin string and selecting a candidate, the candidate can be preferentially displayed on the screen to the target input box.

[0049] As an example, the specific function is a translation function. After the user inputs "gg", the candidate "just" is selected, and the candidate "just" can be displayed on the screen to the internal input box. In addition, the translation result "just" can also be automatically displayed on the screen to the system input box.

[0050] It should be noted that when the user triggers a specific function of the input method application and inputs content, the input content (such as the clicked candidate item) can also be uploaded to the system input box by default. At the same time, the target input box can display a guiding message "Click here to start translation". When the user clicks the panel input box, the subsequent input content (such as the clicked candidate item) can be uploaded to the target input box, and the translation content corresponding to the target input box can be uploaded to the system input box.

[0051] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the execution subject may first control the input box pointer to point to the target input box, then transfer the candidate item selected by the user during the input process to the input box pointer, and display the candidate item on the target input box through the input box pointer.

[0052] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, when it is detected that the user triggers a non-specific function of the input method application, the above-mentioned execution subject can put the content input by the user on the screen to the system input box outside the input method keyboard panel based on the system text protocol pointer (such as TextDocumentProxy). Among them, the non-specific function can be an input method function that does not need to display the input box inside the input method keyboard panel, that is, the non-specific function only needs to display the system input box located outside the input method keyboard interface. As an example, unconventional functions may include but are not limited to voice input functions, keyboard switching functions, etc. Therefore, on the one hand, by switching between the system text protocol pointer and the input box pointer, the on-screen operation can be switched between the system input box and the target input box in the input method keyboard panel, so that the business that needs to display the input box inside the input method keyboard panel can conveniently and quickly realize the display and editing of the input box. On the other hand, in the past, to realize the editing in the input method keyboard panel, each business needs to do on-screen logic processing (such as setting the on-screen content to the input box in an attribute manner). This implementation method can realize the trusteeship of the on-screen logic, and the business does not need to make an on-screen state judgment externally, so the relevance between the decoupling business and the keyboard panel is decoupled, reducing the complexity of the business logic.

[0053] Continue to see Figure 2 , which shows a schematic diagram of the text service framework of the input method of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, SGTextFiled is a preset input box control, which can be inherited from the system input box control TextFiled (not shown in the figure). SGTextDocumentProxy is a preset text protocol pointer, which can be inherited from the system text protocol pointer TextDocumentProxy. SGTextFileA is an input box control used to carry the input box in the input method keyboard panel in the example business (such as translation business), which can be inherited from SGTextFiled. SGTextDocumentA is the input box pointer of the above-mentioned example business, which can be inherited from SGTextDocumentProxy. Controller is the above-mentioned example business controller, which is responsible for business logic control.

[0054] After the user triggers the input box function in the keyboard (for example, after starting the translation service), the Controller can mobilize the SGTextFiled control to create an input box control SGTextFileA for carrying the target input box. After that, the Controller interface calls SGTextDocumentProxy to create an input box pointer SGTextDocumentA for manipulating the text in the above target input box, thereby obtaining an instantiated input box and input box pointer. After that, the Controller can point the input box pointer SGTextDocumentA to the input box SGTextFileA, and pass the content to be displayed on the screen to SGTextDocumentA, thereby manipulating SGTextFileA through SGTextDocumentA to realize the display of text on SGTextFileA.

[0055] The method provided by the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application creates a target input box located in the input method keyboard panel when detecting that the user triggers a specific function of the input method application; and then creates an input box pointer for manipulating the target input box; thereby, the content input by the user can be displayed on the screen to the target input box based on the input box pointer. In this way, the display and editing of the input box inside the input method keyboard panel can be supported, and at the same time, the association between the business and the input method keyboard panel is decoupled, which can reduce the complexity of the business logic compared to the method of adding the display logic inside the input method keyboard panel for different businesses respectively.
