Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present specification relates to the technical field of input method, and particularly relates to a Chinese input method and an electronic device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of Internet technology, users have more and more opportunities to use Internet devices for communication, and therefore have more and more input requirements for input methods. The input method in the prior art has low input efficiency when inputting Chinese characters using pinyin. When inputting using simple pinyin (inputting the first letter of a Chinese character), there are many words, phrases, and sentences with the same first letter, resulting in many output results with the same code. The user needs to spend a lot of time to filter. For example, when trying to get "introduction", the user inputs "js" using simple pinyin, and many words such as "teacher", "family", "construction", and "metal" may appear. The user also needs to filter from a large number of words with the same code, which is low in efficiency. When inputting using full pinyin (inputting all the pinyin of a Chinese character), although the number of words with the same code is less than that of simple pinyin, there are still many words, phrases, and sentences with the same pinyin, resulting in many words with the same code. For example, when trying to get "count", the user inputs "jishu" using full pinyin, and many words such as "base", "technology", and "odd" may appear. The user also needs to flip the page to filter. Moreover, full pinyin needs to input all the letters of the pinyin, which takes a long time and is not efficient. For a nine-grid keyboard, because multiple letters share one keyboard, the number of words with the same code is higher, and the input efficiency is lower. For other input methods, such as a double-pinyin keyboard (the vowels and consonants are mapped to different letters on the keyboard), the mapping relationship is complex and difficult to remember, which makes it difficult to use and reduces the input efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a Chinese input method and an electronic device that is simple to use and has higher input efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] The present specification provides a Chinese input method and an electronic device that is simple to use and has higher input efficiency.

As shown, the method P100 can include: Figure 3

[0063] S120: generating and displaying at least one candidate corresponding to the string input by the target user 002.

[0064] The target user 002 can input the string to the electronic device 001 through the human-computer interaction device 140. In some embodiments, the target user 002 can input the string through manual operation through the keyboard on the human-computer interaction device 140. In some embodiments, the keyboard can be a virtual keyboard on the touch screen of the human-computer interaction device 140. In some embodiments, the keyboard can be a virtual keyboard generated by the electronic device 001 through projection. In some embodiments, the keyboard can be a physical keyboard on the human-computer interaction device 140. The keyboard can be any form of keyboard, such as a nine-square keyboard, a full-pinyin keyboard, a double-pinyin keyboard, etc. The present specification does not limit this. The keyboard can be displayed with keys. The target user 002 can input the string by touching or pressing the keys with fingers or touch pens, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the target user 002 can input the string through voice through the voice collection device on the human-computer interaction device 140.

[0066] The string can include a string corresponding to at least one Chinese character. That is, the string can be a string corresponding to one Chinese character, or a string corresponding to multiple Chinese characters. That is, the target user 002 can input single Chinese characters or multiple Chinese characters at the same time when inputting the string. For example, when the target user 002 wants to input “hello”, the target user 002 can input the string corresponding to “hello” in two times, input the string corresponding to “you” in the first time, and input the string corresponding to “good” in the second time. The target user 002 can also input the string corresponding to “hello” at one time.

[0067] ​When the target user 002 inputs the string, any form of string input method can be adopted. That is, the string can be in any form. For example, a string in pinyin form, or a string in Wubi form, or a string in stroke form, and so on.

[0068] In some embodiments, the target user 002 can adopt pinyin as the input method. At this time, the string can include the pinyin corresponding to at least one Chinese character. The pinyin can include one of abbreviated pinyin and full pinyin. For example, when the target user 002 wants to input "你好", the target user 002 can input "nihao", or "nh", or "nih", or "nhao", and so on.

[0069] In some embodiments, the target user 002 can adopt a form combining pinyin and strokes as the input method. At this time, the string can further include the pinyin and strokes corresponding to at least one of the at least one Chinese character. In some embodiments, the strokes can be the strokes corresponding to the Chinese character. In some embodiments, the input order of the strokes corresponds to the stroke writing order of the Chinese character in sequence. In some embodiments, the strokes can also be any one stroke of the Chinese character. In some embodiments, the strokes can be at least one of the first stroke and the last stroke. The first stroke can be the stroke of the first pen of the Chinese character. The last stroke can be the stroke of the last pen of the Chinese character. For example, when the target user 002 wants to input the character "装", the string input by the target user 002 can be "zh丶", or "zhuang丶", or "zhu丶", and so on. Among them, "丶" can be the stroke of the first pen of the character "装".

[0070] The electronic device 001 can receive the string input by the target user 002, generate at least one candidate item that matches the string, and display it to the target user 002. In some embodiments, the at least one candidate item can include at least one Chinese character string corresponding to the string. Specifically, step S120 can include: matching at least one Chinese character string that meets the string from the database and displaying it. Specifically, the electronic device 001 can control the human-computer interaction device 140 to display the at least one candidate item. Each Chinese character string can include at least one Chinese character. For example, when the string input by the target user 002 is "jishu", the at least one candidate item can be "基数", "技术", "奇数", "集数", "记述", "计数", and so on. The electronic device 001 can search for the Chinese character string that matches the string in the pre-established database and control the human-computer interaction device 140 to display it.

[0071] In some embodiments, the at least one candidate option may also include the string input by the target user 002. For example, when the target user 002 inputs "jishu", the at least one candidate option may include not only Chinese strings such as "basic", "technology", "odd number", "set number", "description", and "count", but also "jishu".

[0072] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of at least one candidate option provided according to an embodiment of this specification is shown. Figure 4 As shown, the string input by the target user 002 is "jishu", and the electronic device 001 can control the human-computer interaction device 140 to display the at least one candidate option.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the method P100 may further include:

[0074] S140: Obtain the target gesture operation performed by the target user 002 on the target candidate.

[0075] The at least one candidate option includes the target candidate option. That is, the target candidate option is one of the at least one candidate options. The target user 002 can perform a target gesture operation on any of the at least one candidate option to filter the candidate options using the target gesture operation. The target gesture operation can be any of the pre-set gesture operations. In some embodiments, the gesture operation can be an operation trajectory formed by a movement operation performed by an electronic device such as a finger or stylus. The target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation through the human-computer interaction device 140. Taking the human-computer interaction device 140 as a touch screen as an example, the target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation by touching the touch screen on the human-computer interaction device 140. The electronic device 001 can obtain the target gesture operation from the human-computer interaction device 140. Specifically, the electronic device 001 can obtain the click and operation trajectory of the touch point of the electronic device such as a finger or stylus on the human-computer interaction device 140. The operation trajectory can be the movement trajectory of the touch point. Specifically, electronic device 001 can determine the operation trajectory of a touch point by observing the voltage changes at various coordinate points on the touch screen during the clicking or moving of the touch point. The operation trajectory includes the movement path of the touch point.

[0076] In some embodiments, the target user 002 can be in contact with the human-computer interaction device 140 when performing the target gesture operation. In some embodiments, the target user 002 can also not be in contact with the human-computer interaction device 140 when performing the target gesture operation, and the target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation through a mid-air operation. Specifically, the electronic device 001 can be provided with a visual sensor to capture an image of the target user 002 performing the target gesture operation, so as to obtain the target gesture operation of the target user 002.

[0077] Figure 5 A flowchart for obtaining a target gesture operation is shown according to an embodiment of the present specification. Figure 5 Step S140 is shown. As Figure 5 shown, step S140 can include:

[0078] S142: Obtain the target gesture operation.

[0079] Taking the touch screen as an example of the human-computer interaction device 140. As mentioned above, the electronic device 001 can obtain the operation trajectory of the touch point of the target user 002 on the human-computer interaction device 140 through the target gesture operation performed by the target user 002 on the touch screen.

[0080] S144: Position the target gesture operation to determine the starting position of the target gesture operation.

[0081] As mentioned above, the operation trajectory of the touch point includes the movement path of the touch point and the coordinate position of the touch point on the touch screen. The electronic device 001 can position the target gesture operation to determine the starting position of the target gesture operation. The starting position can be the position where the target gesture operation starts operating on the touch screen.

[0082] S146: Match the starting position with the at least one candidate to determine the target candidate.

[0083] As mentioned above, the at least one candidate can be displayed on the human-computer interaction device 140. The electronic device 001 can store the coordinate position of each candidate in the at least one candidate on the touch screen of the human-computer interaction device 140. The electronic device 001 can match the starting position of the target gesture operation with the coordinate position of the at least one candidate to determine the candidate corresponding to the starting position of the target gesture operation as the target candidate.

[0084] As Figure 5 shown, step S140 can also include:

[0085] S148: match the starting position with the target candidate, and determine a target character corresponding to the target gesture operation.

[0086] As described above, each candidate corresponds to a character string, which can include at least one character. The electronic device 001 can match the starting position of the target gesture operation with the coordinate position of the character string in the target candidate, to determine the target character to which the target gesture operation is directed. The target candidate includes the target character. The target character can be any one of the characters in the at least one candidate, including Chinese characters in the at least one candidate and the character string input by the target user 002.

[0087] As described above, in step S140, the target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation on the target candidate through the human-computer interaction device 140 to further screen the target candidate, so as to screen and correct the target candidate through the target screening condition.

[0088] As shown in Figure 3 The method P100 can further include:

[0092] Taking the touch screen as an example. As described above, the electronic device 001 can obtain the click of the electronic device's touch point such as a finger or a touch pen on the human-computer interaction device 140 and the moving trajectory of the touch point, i.e. the target trajectory of the target gesture operation.

[0093] S164: determining the target screening condition corresponding to the target trajectory based on a preset mapping relationship between the screening condition and the operation trajectory.

[0094] The screening condition can include the target screening condition, and the operation track can include the target track. In some embodiments, the electronic device 001 can pre-store a plurality of operation tracks. Different operation tracks correspond to different screening conditions. The electronic device 001 can also pre-store a mapping relationship between the plurality of operation tracks and a plurality of screening conditions.

[0095] The operation trajectory can be any form of movement trajectory. In some embodiments, the operation trajectory can include at least one of a sliding operation and a pressing operation. In some embodiments, the operation trajectory can include a sliding operation, such as a preset shape trajectory generated by a continuous sliding of a finger or a stylus. The preset shape can be any shape. Different shapes represent different operation trajectories. For example, the preset shape can be a certain number, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, and the like. For another example, the preset shape can also be a certain symbol, such as a triangle, a circle, a square, a polygon, a pentacle, and the like. In some embodiments, the preset shape can be a straight line. Taking the preset shape as a straight line as an example, the sliding operation can be at least one of a sliding operation in multiple directions and a sliding operation in multiple lengths. Different directions and different lengths respectively represent different operation trajectories. For example, the sliding operation can be a straight line sliding to the left (abbreviated as left sliding), a straight line sliding to the right (abbreviated as right sliding), a straight line sliding upwards (abbreviated as up sliding), a straight line sliding downwards (abbreviated as down sliding), or even a straight line sliding to the upper left (abbreviated as left up sliding), a straight line sliding to the lower left (abbreviated as left down sliding), a straight line sliding to the upper right (abbreviated as right up sliding), a straight line sliding to the lower right (abbreviated as right down sliding), and the like. For another example, the sliding operation can also be a sliding operation in a long distance (abbreviated as long sliding) and a sliding operation in a short distance (abbreviated as short sliding). For another example, the sliding operation can also be a sliding operation in different lengths and different directions, such as a straight line sliding to the left in a long distance (abbreviated as left long sliding), a straight line sliding to the left in a short distance (abbreviated as left short sliding), a straight line sliding to the right in a long distance (abbreviated as right long sliding), a straight line sliding to the right in a short distance (abbreviated as right short sliding), a straight line sliding upwards in a long distance (abbreviated as up long sliding), a straight line sliding upwards in a short distance (abbreviated as up short sliding), a straight line sliding downwards in a long distance (abbreviated as down long sliding), a straight line sliding downwards in a short distance (abbreviated as down short sliding), or even a straight line sliding to the upper left in a long distance (abbreviated as left up long sliding), a straight line sliding to the upper left in a short distance (abbreviated as left up short sliding), a straight line sliding to the lower left in a long distance (abbreviated as left down long sliding), a straight line sliding to the lower left in a short distance (abbreviated as left down short sliding), a straight line sliding to the upper right in a long distance (abbreviated as right up long sliding), a straight line sliding to the upper right in a short distance (abbreviated as right up short sliding), a straight line sliding to the lower right in a long distance (abbreviated as right down long sliding), a straight line sliding to the lower right in a short distance (abbreviated as right down short sliding), and the like.

[0096] In some embodiments, the operation track can also be a pressing operation, such as pressing at a preset position on the touch screen by a finger or a touch pen. In some embodiments, the pressing operation can include a plurality of pressing operations of different lengths of time. For example, pressing for different lengths of time, different lengths of time corresponding to different operation tracks, such as pressing for 2 seconds and pressing for 3 seconds representing different operation tracks, respectively. For example, the pressing operation can be short pressing, or long pressing, or even super long pressing, etc. In some embodiments, the pressing operation can include a plurality of pressing operations. For example, the pressing operation can be a plurality of continuous pressing operations of different numbers of times, different numbers of times representing different operation tracks, respectively, such as continuous pressing for 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, or even more times, etc.

[0097] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a gesture operation is shown according to an embodiment of the present specification. As shown, short pressing, long pressing, left short sliding, left long sliding, right short sliding, right long sliding, up short sliding, up long sliding, down short sliding, and down long sliding are shown, 10 kinds of gesture operations. When the target user 002 slides in the area corresponding to each gesture, respectively, the corresponding operation track will be generated. Figure 7

[0098] The electronic device 001 can pre-store a plurality of operation tracks as described above. The electronic device 001 can identify the target gesture operation, and match the identified track with the plurality of operation tracks pre-stored to determine the target track corresponding to the target gesture operation.

[0099] The electronic device 001 can also pre-store a plurality of screening conditions, and store a mapping relationship between the plurality of screening conditions and the plurality of operation tracks. Different operation tracks correspond to different screening conditions. In some embodiments, the screening condition can include at least one of tone screening, stroke screening, pinyin screening, structure screening, word segmentation screening, and lock screening. Each screening condition can include a plurality of different objects. Details are described as follows.

[0100] ​In some embodiments, the filtering condition can include tone filtering. The tone filtering can be filtering or screening of the tone of the Chinese character to be input. The tone filtering can include a plurality of different tone objects. The electronic device 001 can pre-store a mapping relationship between the plurality of operation trajectories and the plurality of different tone objects in the tone filtering. As described above, the tone of the Mandarin in Chinese can include Yin Ping (also called one tone), Yang Ping (also called two tone), Shang Sheng (also called three tone), and Qu Sheng (also called four tone). In some embodiments, the tone can also include no tone. That is, the plurality of different tone objects can include no tone, one tone, two tone, three tone, and four tone. Table 1 shows a mapping relationship between an operation trajectory and a plurality of tone objects in tone filtering.

[0101]

[0102] It should be noted that Table 1 is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art should understand that other mapping relationships between tone objects and operation trajectories are also within the protection scope of the present specification.

[0103] In some embodiments, the filtering condition can include stroke filtering. The stroke filtering can be filtering or screening of the stroke of the Chinese character to be input. In some embodiments, the stroke filtering can be filtering of any one stroke of the Chinese character. In some embodiments, the stroke filtering can be screening of the writing stroke order of the Chinese character. When the stroke filtering corresponds to a plurality of stroke objects, the input order of the corresponding stroke in the stroke filtering corresponds to the stroke writing order of the Chinese character in turn. In some embodiments, the stroke filtering can also be at least one of the first stroke filtering and the last stroke filtering. The first stroke can be the stroke of the first stroke of the Chinese character. The last stroke can be the stroke of the last stroke of the Chinese character. The target user 002 can pre-set or change the type of the stroke filtering. The stroke filtering can include a plurality of different stroke objects. The electronic device 001 can pre-store a mapping relationship between the plurality of operation trajectories and the plurality of different stroke objects in the stroke filtering. As described above, the basic stroke of the Chinese character can include horizontal (including ti), vertical (including vertical hook), pa, dot (including na), and fold. Table 2 shows a mapping relationship between an operation trajectory and a plurality of stroke objects in stroke filtering.

[0104]

[0105] It should be noted that Table 2 is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art should understand that other mapping relationships between stroke objects and operation trajectories are also within the protection scope of the present specification.

[0106] In some embodiments, the filtering condition can include a pinyin filtering. The pinyin filtering can be filtering or screening the pinyin of the Chinese character to be input. In some embodiments, the pinyin filtering can include a filtering of the flat and hooked tongue. In some embodiments, the pinyin filtering can be a filtering of the rime. The target user 002 can pre-set or change the type of the pinyin filtering. When the pinyin filtering is the flat and hooked tongue filtering, the electronic device 001 can pre-store a mapping relationship between the plurality of operation trajectories and a plurality of different flat and hooked tongue objects in the flat and hooked tongue filtering. As described above, the flat and hooked tongue of the Chinese character can include both flat and hooked tongue. Table 3 shows a mapping relationship between an operation trajectory and the flat and hooked tongue filtering of the flat and hooked tongue. The target user 002 can perform a gesture operation on the target candidate corresponding to z, c, s or zh, ch, sh to add the flat and hooked tongue filtering.

[0107]

[0108] It should be noted that Table 3 is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art should understand that other mapping relationships between flat and hooked tongue objects and operation trajectories are also within the protection scope of the present specification.

[0109] In some embodiments, the pinyin filtering can be a filtering of the rime. Different operation trajectories correspond to different rimes. And the same operation trajectory corresponds to different rimes when the starting position of the operation trajectory is directed to different target characters. The electronic device 001 can pre-store a mapping relationship between the plurality of operation trajectories and a plurality of different rime objects in the rime filtering. Table 4 shows a mapping relationship between an operation trajectory and a rime object.

[0110]

[0111] It should be noted that Table 4 is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art should understand that other mapping relationships between rime objects and operation trajectories are also within the protection scope of the present specification.

[0112] In some embodiments, the filtering condition can include a structure filtering. The structure filtering can be filtering or screening the structure of the Chinese character to be input. The structure filtering can include a plurality of different structure objects. The electronic device 001 can pre-store a mapping relationship between the plurality of operation trajectories and a plurality of different structure objects in the structure filtering. The structure of the Chinese character can be divided into left-right structure and non-left-right structure. That is, the plurality of different structure objects can include both left-right structure and non-left-right structure. Table 5 shows a mapping relationship between an operation trajectory and a plurality of structure objects in the structure filtering.

[0113]

[0114] It should be noted that the structure of Chinese characters can also include other structures, such as up-down structure, full-enclosing structure, and the like, which are not enumerated in the present specification, and those skilled in the art should understand that other structures are also within the protection scope of the present specification. Table 5 is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art should understand that other mapping relationships between the structure object and the operation track are also within the protection scope of the present specification.

[0115] In some embodiments, the screening condition can include word segmentation screening. The word segmentation screening can be word segmentation on the input string. The word segmentation screening can include dividing a pinyin string corresponding to one Chinese character into pinyin strings corresponding to multiple Chinese characters. For example, when the input string is "tai", "tai" can be a pinyin of Chinese characters such as "tai" and can also be a pinyin of word groups such as "tai ai". The target user 002 can divide "tai" into "t'ai" through the word segmentation screening to clearly parse according to the word group, so as to further screen the string to clearly determine that the character corresponding to the string is a word group. The target user 002 can use the target operation gesture on the target character to perform word segmentation on the target character. Table 6 shows a mapping relationship between an operation track and word segmentation screening.

[0116]

[0117] Table 6 is only illustrative, and those skilled in the art should understand that other mapping relationships between the word segmentation screening and the operation track are also within the protection scope of the present specification.

[0118] In some embodiments, the filtering condition can include a lock filtering. The lock filtering can include locking or unlocking a selected object. The locking can include making the Chinese character corresponding to the selected object unmodifiable. In some embodiments, the selected object can be the aforementioned target character. In some embodiments, the selected object can be all characters before the target character. In some embodiments, the selected object can be all characters before the target character including the target character. In some embodiments, the selected object can be all characters after the target character. In some embodiments, the selected object can be all characters after the target character including the target character. When the selected object is locked, a subsequent target gesture operation targeting a target character other than the selected object will not cause the selected object to be changed according to the target filtering condition. In some embodiments, the operation track corresponding to the lock function can be a separate operation track different from the aforementioned filtering conditions, such as a long press, a long swipe, and the like. That is, performing the operation track corresponding to the lock function on the selected object can cause the selected object to be locked. In some embodiments, the operation track corresponding to the lock function can also be the operation track corresponding to any of the aforementioned filtering conditions. That is, if the operation track corresponding to any of the aforementioned filtering conditions is performed on the selected object, the selected object is locked and can be modified according to the filtering condition corresponding to the operation track.

[0119] In some embodiments, the selected object that is locked can also be unlocked. The unlocking can be full unlocking or partial unlocking. The unlocking can include releasing the locked selected object to make the Chinese character corresponding to the selected object modifiable. In some embodiments, the operation track corresponding to the unlock function can be a separate operation track different from the aforementioned filtering conditions, such as a short press, a short swipe, and the like. That is, performing the operation track corresponding to the unlock function on the locked selected object can cause the selected object to be unlocked. In some embodiments, the operation track corresponding to the unlock function can be the operation track corresponding to any of the aforementioned filtering conditions. That is, when the selected object is locked, if the operation track corresponding to any of the aforementioned filtering conditions is performed on the selected object, the selected object is unlocked and can be modified according to the filtering condition corresponding to the operation track. In some embodiments, the operation track corresponding to the lock function and the unlock function can be the same or different. When the operation track corresponding to the lock function and the unlock function is the same, performing the operation track on a selected object that is not locked can cause the selected object to be locked, and performing the operation track on a selected object that is already locked can cause the selected object to be unlocked.

[0120] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the tone screening, stroke screening, pinyin screening, structure screening, and word screening can each correspond to a different operation track. That is, each operation track can uniquely correspond to one of the screening conditions. In some embodiments, the tone screening, stroke screening, pinyin screening, structure screening, word screening, and locking screening can share the same operation track. That is, the same operation track can correspond to multiple ones of the tone screening, stroke screening, pinyin screening, structure screening, word screening, and locking screening. For example, a left long swipe can correspond to a certain tone in the tone screening, a certain stroke in the stroke screening, and so on. When the same operation track corresponds to multiple ones of the tone screening, stroke screening, pinyin screening, structure screening, word screening, and locking screening, the target user 002 can previously set the type of the screening condition corresponding to the operation track. For example, the target user 002 can previously set the screening condition corresponding to the operation track to one of the tone screening, stroke screening, pinyin screening, structure screening, word screening, and locking screening. The target user 002 can also change the type of the screening condition corresponding to the operation track.

[0121] As shown in Figure 3 the method P100 can further include:

[0122] S180: correcting the target candidate based on the target screening condition, and displaying the corrected target text.

[0123] As previously described, in step S140, the electronic device 001 can determine, based on the target gesture operation, a target candidate to which the target gesture operation is directed and a target character in the target candidate. In step S160, the electronic device 001 can determine, based on the target gesture operation, a target screening condition corresponding to the target gesture operation. In step S180, the electronic device 001 can screen or filter the target candidate and the target character based on the target screening condition to screen out Chinese characters meeting the target screening condition from the database, and control the man-machine interaction device 140 to display.

[0124] Figure 8 A flowchart of acquiring a target text according to an embodiment of the present specification is shown. Figure 8 Shown is step S180. As shown in Figure 8 step S180 can include:

[0125] S182: matching, based on the target screening condition, a target text meeting the character string and the target screening condition from the database.

[0126] In step S160, the electronic device 001 can determine a target filtering condition corresponding to the target gesture operation based on the target gesture operation. The electronic device 001 can further filter the target candidate based on the target filtering condition. For example, when the target filtering condition is a tone filtering, the target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation on the target character to determine a tone object corresponding to the target character, and the electronic device 001 can filter the target character based on the tone object to determine a target word that meets both the character string and the tone object.

[0127] In some embodiments, the target filtering condition can be a further limitation on the character string, and the electronic device 001 can further filter the character string by adding the target filtering condition. In some embodiments, the target filtering condition can be a modification of the character string, and the electronic device 001 can modify the character string by the target filtering condition. In some embodiments, the target user 002 can pre-set a type corresponding to the target filtering condition. In some embodiments, the electronic device 001 can set the type corresponding to the target filtering condition according to a use scenario. When the target filtering condition does not conflict with the character string, the target filtering condition can be a further limitation on the character string. When the target filtering condition conflicts with the character string, the target filtering condition can be a modification of the character string.

[0128] S184: correcting the target candidate based on the target word and displaying.

[0129] The electronic device 001 can correct the target candidate and the target character based on the target word to display the corrected target word.

[0130] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a target gesture operation and a corrected target word is shown according to an embodiment of the present specification. As shown in Figure 9 The target filtering condition corresponding to the target gesture operation shown is a tone filtering. As described above, the target character can be any character in the at least one candidate, which can be a Chinese character or any character in the character string input by the target user 002. As shown in Figure 9 The character string input by the target user 002 is “zuihdes”. The Chinese character string that the target user 002 wants to get is “zuihdes”. The at least one candidate is shown in Figure 9 The target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation on any character. For example, the target user 002 can perform a target gesture operation (left swipe) corresponding to three tones on the character “h”, as shown in Figure 9As shown. Of course, the target user 002 can also directly perform the target gesture operation on Chinese characters. For example, perform the target gesture operation on the character "坏" in "最坏的是", or perform the target gesture operation on the character "后" in "最后的是".

[0131] Figure 10 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of another target gesture operation and the corrected target text provided according to an embodiment of the present specification. Taking Figure 10 the target screening condition corresponding to the target gesture operation shown as stroke screening as an example for illustration. As mentioned above, the target character can be any character in at least one candidate, which can be either a Chinese character or any character in the string input by the target user 002. As Figure 10 shown, the string input by the target user 002 is "zuihdes". The Chinese character string that the target user 002 wants to obtain is "最坏的是". At least one candidate is as Figure 10 shown. The target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation on any character. For example, the target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation corresponding to the horizontal stroke (swipe right) on the character "h", as Figure 10 shown. Of course, the target user 002 can also directly perform the target gesture operation on Chinese characters. For example, perform the target gesture operation on the character "好" in "最好的是".

[0132] Figure 11 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of another target gesture operation and the corrected target text provided according to an embodiment of the present specification. Taking Figure 11 the target screening condition corresponding to the target gesture operation shown as stroke screening as an example for illustration. Taking the stroke screening as adding a screening condition to the already input string to modify the already input string as an example for illustration. As Figure 11 shown, the string input by the target user 002 is a combination of pinyin and the first stroke "zh丶". The Chinese character string that the target user 002 wants to obtain is "珠". At least one candidate is as Figure 11 shown. Among them, the stroke input is incorrect. The target user 002 can perform the target gesture operation corresponding to the horizontal stroke (swipe right) on the character "丶" to make a modification, as Figure 11 shown.

[0133] Figure 12 FIG. shows a schematic diagram of another target gesture operation and the corrected target text provided according to an embodiment of the present specification. Taking Figure 12 the target screening condition corresponding to the target gesture operation shown including stroke screening and lock screening as an example for illustration. As Figure 12As shown, the string input by the target user 002 is the pinyin "jttqhbc". The Chinese string that the target user 002 wants to obtain is "today the weather is very good". At least one candidate is as shown. Figure 12 As shown. Among them, the first 4 Chinese characters "today weather" in the first candidate are correct, and the following Chinese characters are not required, and need to be filtered by adding a filtering condition. In order to avoid changing the first 4 Chinese characters when filtering the following characters by the target operation gesture, the target user 002 can make the target operation gesture have stroke filtering and locking filtering at the same time when performing the target operation gesture. For example, the target user 002 can perform a target operation gesture (left long slide) on "good" to perform stroke filtering (punctured), and lock the 4 Chinese characters before "good" at the same time of stroke filtering. When the first 4 Chinese characters that have been locked need to be modified, the target user 002 can perform a target operation gesture on the Chinese character that needs to be modified to add a target filtering condition, while unlocking the selected object.

[0134] In summary, the present specification provides an input method P100 of Chinese and an electronic device 001, which can generate at least one candidate corresponding to the string input by the target user 002 after receiving the string; the target user 002 can select a target candidate to be modified, and perform a corresponding target gesture operation on the target candidate; the method P100 and the electronic device 001 can generate a target filtering condition (such as tone filtering, stroke filtering, pinyin filtering, and structure filtering, etc.) for the target gesture operation, to filter out the characters that meet the target filtering condition from the database, and correct the target candidate, so as to quickly generate the target character. The method P100 and the electronic device 001 can filter the target candidate by gesture operation, so as to quickly obtain the desired character input, thereby reducing the ambiguity rate by a simple operation method, and improving the character input efficiency. The method P100 and the electronic device 001 can improve the input efficiency and working performance, make the filtering of characters, words, and sentences simple and efficient, and avoid frequent switching of interfaces; at the same time, the method P100 and the electronic device 001 are easy to use, and have low learning threshold. The filtering conditions introduced are all known by the user, or can be mastered in a short time, without additional learning burden; finally, the method P100 and the electronic device 001 have good compatibility, and can be compatible with all types of keyboard layouts.
