Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a display method for a mobile phone input box and an electronic device, belonging to the technical field of electronic devices. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, smart phones have become an indispensable tool in modern people's daily lives. As an important medium for human-computer interaction, the display mode of the mobile phone virtual keyboard directly affects the user experience. However, in the current mainstream virtual keyboard display mode, the input box and virtual keyboard of the mobile phone input method usually adopt a fixed layout, where the keyboard occupies the bottom of the screen and the input box is located above the keyboard.

[0003] The above virtual keyboard display mode has several significant usage problems: First, it is mainly designed for two-handed operation scenarios. In one-handed operation scenarios (such as when taking public transportation or carrying items), text input is relatively difficult, which is particularly prominent for the disabled user group with upper limb defects, constituting an input barrier; Second, the existing input interface is usually fixed in the bottom area of the screen, occupying nearly 30% of the display area. It not only compresses the visible space for text editing but also frequently blocks key interface information during screenshot operations, seriously affecting the usage efficiency. These design defects expose the deficiencies of the current mobile phone virtual keyboard display mode in terms of humanized design and barrier-free adaptation, and urgent improvement is needed through technological innovation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a display method for a mobile phone input box and an electronic device, so as to make the display content on the mobile phone screen as much as possible without blocking the mobile phone display content.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention proposes the following technical solutions: A display method for a mobile phone input box, comprising the following steps: dividing the virtual keyboard into a text input box, function keys, and text input keys; setting the type of the text input keys as numeric keys and establishing a correspondence between English letters or Chinese character strokes and the numeric keys; setting the display position of the numeric keys according to the user's dominant hand, so that they are displayed on the left, right, or bottom of the mobile phone screen; dividing the function keys into frequently used function keys and infrequently used function keys according to the usage frequency, the frequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the numeric keys, and the infrequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the text input box; if the numeric keys are displayed on the left or right of the mobile phone screen, the text input box is displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen; if the numeric keys are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen, the text input box is displayed on the line above the numeric keys.

[0006] Further, the method for determining the user's dominant hand includes: actively asking the user about their dominant hand; or setting a pressure sensor on each of the left and right sides of the mobile phone, and determining the user's dominant hand through the pressure sensor; or determining the user's dominant hand by counting the frequency of the user clicking on various areas of the mobile phone screen.

[0007] Further, the method for setting a pressure sensor on each of the left and right sides of the mobile phone and determining the user's dominant hand through the pressure sensor is as follows: Set a pressure sensor in the middle of the left side and the middle of the right side. When the user grasps the mobile phone, the palm can touch the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor detects the palm pressure signal and transmits the pressure signal to a counter. The counter collects the number of times the palm touches the pressure sensor. If the number of times the palm on the left side touches the pressure sensor minus the number of times the palm on the right side touches the pressure sensor is greater than the threshold, then the user's dominant hand is the left hand; otherwise, the user's dominant hand is the right hand.

[0008] Further, the method for determining the user's dominant hand by counting the frequency of the user clicking on various areas of the mobile phone screen is as follows: Taking the midline in the length direction of the screen as the dividing line, count the frequency of the user clicking on the left side and the right side of the screen within a preset time. If the frequency of clicking on the left side of the screen exceeds the threshold, or there is a magnitude difference between the frequency of clicking on the left side of the screen and the frequency of clicking on the right side of the screen, then it is considered that the user's dominant hand is the left hand; otherwise, it is considered that the user's dominant hand is the right hand.

[0009] Further, if the user's dominant hand is the left hand, the numeric keys are displayed on the left side of the mobile phone screen; if the user's dominant hand is the right hand, the numeric keys are displayed on the right side of the mobile phone screen; if the user's dominant hand has not been determined or cannot be determined, the numeric keys are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen.

[0010] Further, when the numeric keys are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the numeric keys are displayed in two columns, and the common function keys are displayed below the numeric keys; when the numeric keys are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen, the numeric keys, the text input box, and the function keys are displayed in two rows.

[0011] Further, the virtual keyboard further includes a contraction key and an expansion key. The contraction key and the expansion key are set at a corner of the mobile phone screen. Clicking the contraction key, the entire virtual keyboard disappears, and the contraction key becomes the expansion key. Clicking the expansion key, the virtual keyboard is redisplayed.

[0012] Further, the correspondence between the numeric keys and the English letters is set by the nine - grid input method, and the correspondence between the numeric keys and the Chinese character strokes is set by the stroke input method.

[0013] Further, the common function keys include a delete key, an enter key, a full stop key, and a comma key; the infrequently used function keys include a symbol key, an emoji key, a Chinese / English conversion key, and a number / character conversion key; when the number keys are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the symbol key, the emoji key, the Chinese / English conversion key, and the number / character conversion key are arranged in a cross shape, and the length of the long side of the cross-shaped structure is equal to the width of the mobile phone screen together with the text input box.

[0014] The present invention also discloses an electronic device, at least one processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor, and when the instructions are executed by the processor, the processor is enabled to execute the display method for a mobile phone input box described in any one of the above.

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following technical effects or advantages: After adopting the solution of the present invention, a user can hold the mobile phone with one hand and input information on the double-column virtual keyboard on one side of the mobile phone screen with the thumb of the same hand, and view the ongoing input content through the input text display box at the bottom of the mobile phone screen, achieving the effect of smoothly operating the mobile phone and inputting information with one hand.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the provision of specific embodiments is only for better understanding of the present invention, and they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms used are only for the purpose of description and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] The virtual keyboard display method of the prior art is as Figure 1 shown. In the prior art, the virtual keyboard is only suitable for two-handed operation. When operating with one hand, it is not easy to press the keys on the opposite side. For example, if operating with the right hand, it is not easy to press the keys on the far left. In addition, the existing virtual keys occupy a relatively large proportion of the screen and will block the screen content. The present invention provides a display method for a mobile phone input box and an electronic device adopting the display method. The virtual key area for inputting letters is arranged in a double-column form on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, and the input text display box and the remaining function keys are arranged at the bottom of the mobile phone screen. After adopting the solution of the present invention, one can hold the mobile phone with one hand and use the thumb of the same hand to input information on the double-column virtual keyboard on one side of the mobile phone screen, and view the ongoing input content through the input text display box. Moreover, the input text display box and the virtual key area for inputting letters are separately displayed, which will not block the main content of the document being read, and it will be more convenient to take screenshots. The following details the solution of the present invention through embodiments.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] This embodiment discloses a display method for a mobile phone input box, including the following steps:

[0026] S1 Divide the virtual keyboard into a text input box, function keys, and text input keys.

[0027] S2 Set the type of the text input keys as numeric keys, and establish the correspondence between English letters or Chinese character strokes and the numeric keys.

[0028] The correspondence between the numeric keys and English letters is set by the nine-grid input method, that is, the numeric keys include ten keys from 0 to 9. Among them, key 1 does not correspond to any content, key 0 corresponds to the space bar, key 2 corresponds to A, B, and C, key 3 corresponds to D, E, and F, key 4 corresponds to G, H, and I, key 5 corresponds to J, K, and L; key 6 corresponds to M, N, and O, key 7 corresponds to P, Q, and R, key 8 corresponds to S, T, U, and V, and key 9 corresponds to W, X, Y, and Z.

[0029] The correspondence between the numeric keys and the strokes of Chinese characters is set by the stroke input method. That is, the numeric keys include ten keys 0-9. Among them, key 1 corresponds to the horizontal key (一), key 0 corresponds to the space key, key 2 corresponds to the vertical key (|), key 3 corresponds to the left-falling stroke (丿), key 4 corresponds to the dot (丶), key 5 corresponds to the left-falling stroke (ㄥ); key 6 corresponds to the wildcard, key 7 corresponds to the word separator, key 8 corresponds to the colon, and key 9 corresponds to the semicolon.

[0030] S3 sets the position of the number keys according to the user's dominant hand, so that they are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the method for determining the user's dominant hand includes:

[0032] Method 1: Actively ask the user for their dominant hand, such as popping up a dialog box when the phone is turned on for the first time to ask the user for their dominant hand. This can also be combined with the following two methods. For example, if the pressure sensor detects that the user often holds the phone with the left hand, the user can be asked whether to switch to left-hand mode. If the user does not turn on the left-hand mode, the user's dominant hand is assumed to be the right hand, that is, the number keys are displayed on the right side of the phone screen.

[0033] Method 2: A pressure sensor is set on each side of the left and right sides of the mobile phone, and the user's dominant hand is determined by the pressure sensor; since left-handed users usually hold the mobile phone with their left hand, and right-handed users usually hold the mobile phone with their right hand, the user will touch the side of the mobile phone when holding the mobile phone. Therefore, in this embodiment, pressure sensors are set on the left and right sides of the mobile phone. When the user holds the mobile phone, he applies pressure to the pressure sensor. After the pressure sensor detects the pressure signal, the number of times the pressure sensors on both sides of the mobile phone detect the pressure signal is counted by a counter, and the side with more times is the user's dominant hand.

[0034] The specific method of method 2 is as follows: a pressure sensor is set in the middle of the left side and the middle of the right side, so that when the user grasps the mobile phone, the palm can touch the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor detects the palm pressure signal and transmits the pressure signal to the counter. The counter collects the number of times the palm touches the pressure sensor. If the number of times the palm touches the pressure sensor on the left side minus the number of times the palm touches the pressure sensor on the right side is greater than the threshold, the user's dominant hand is the left hand, otherwise, the user's dominant hand is the right hand.

[0035] Method 3 determines the user's dominant hand by counting the frequencies of the user clicking on various regions of the mobile phone screen. Taking the midline in the length direction of the screen as the dividing line, count the frequencies of the user clicking on the left side and the right side of the screen within a preset time. If the frequency of clicking on the left side of the screen exceeds the threshold, or there is a magnitude difference between the frequency of clicking on the left side of the screen and the frequency of clicking on the right side of the screen, it is considered that the user's dominant hand is the left hand; otherwise, it is considered that the user's dominant hand is the right hand.

[0036] When the numeric keys are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the numeric keys are displayed in two columns, and the common function keys are displayed at the bottom of the numeric keys.

[0037] S4 classifies the function keys into common function keys and infrequently used function keys according to the usage frequency. The common function keys are displayed in the same area as the numeric keys, and the infrequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the text input box.

[0038] Such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the function keys in step S4 include the function keys common in ordinary mobile phones. A total of nine function keys are set in this embodiment, including the deletion key, the common punctuation key, the enter key, the contraction key (the downward arrow in the figure), the expansion key (the upward arrow in the figure), the symbol key, the emoji key, the Chinese-English switching key, and the number-character switching key (i.e., the 123 key in the figure).

[0039] The deletion key, clicking it can delete the content of the previous character at the current cursor position. The enter key, clicking it can confirm and send the information content that has been input to the input text display box for sending or click. The contraction key, clicking it can make all the virtual keyboards contract and disappear into the contracted state, and only one expansion key is displayed at the lower left or lower right corner of the mobile phone screen. The symbol key, clicking it can display more punctuation marks through a floating window for the user to select and click to input. The emoji key, clicking it can display more emojis through a floating window for the user to select and click to input. The Chinese-English switching key, clicking it can switch the numeric keys between the Chinese-English pinyin and English letter modes. The number-character switching key, clicking it can switch the numeric keys between the number input and Chinese-English input modes. The expansion key, clicking it in the contracted state can make the virtual keyboard switch from the contracted state to the expanded state, and make all the virtual keyboards expand and display on the screen.

[0040] The common function keys include the delete key, the enter key, the full stop key, and the comma key. If space permits, it can also include the question mark key and / or the exclamation mark key. The full stop key, the comma key, the question mark key, and the exclamation mark key can be set separately, or only one key can be set, that is, the common punctuation key. Clicking it can input the four more commonly used punctuation marks, namely the full stop, the comma, the question mark, and the exclamation mark. For example, clicking will show a selection box including the four punctuation marks, or clicking once will show the full stop, quickly clicking twice will show the comma, and so on.

[0041] The infrequently used function keys include symbol keys, emoji keys, Chinese / English conversion keys, and numeric / alphabetic conversion keys.

[0042] In the case of the S5, if the numeric keys are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the text input box is displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the virtual key area for inputting letters, which consists of the numeric keys 0-9, the delete key, the period key, the comma key, the enter key, and the shrink key, is arranged in two columns and is displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen according to the user's dominant hand. The text input box, the symbol keys, the emoji keys, the Chinese / English switching keys, and the numeric / alphabetic switching keys are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen. The symbol keys, the emoji keys, the Chinese / English conversion keys, and the numeric / alphabetic conversion keys are arranged in a cross shape, and the sum of the lengths of the long sides of the cross-shaped structure and the text input box is equal to the width of the mobile phone screen.

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, the numeric keys are located on the right side of the screen. The right side of the numeric keys is seamlessly aligned with the right side of the screen, and the top of the numeric keys is located at the mid-height of the screen. The delete key and the enter key have the same size and are the same as a single numeric key. The delete key is located below the left side of the numeric keys and is aligned with the left side of the numeric keys. The enter key is located below the right side of the numeric keys and is aligned with the right side of the numeric keys. The period key and the comma key form a punctuation key, which is located directly below the delete key; the width of the punctuation key is the same as that of the delete key, and the height is half of that of the delete key. The shrink key is located directly below the enter key; the width of the shrink key is the same as that of the enter key, and the height is half of that of the enter key. When the shrink key is clicked, the above virtual keyboard shrinks. As Figure 4 shown, there is only an expand key in the lower right corner of the screen. When the expand key is clicked, all virtual keyboards are expanded and displayed on the mobile phone screen, restoring Figure 2 the display state. At this time, the expand key shrinks and disappears.

[0045] The text input box is located at the bottom of the mobile phone screen and is seamlessly aligned with the left side of the mobile phone screen. The symbol keys and the Chinese / English switching keys are located on the right side of the text input box. The symbol keys and the Chinese / English switching keys have the same size, and their height is half of the height of the text input box. The symbol keys are located directly above the Chinese / English switching keys. The emoji keys are located on the right side of the symbol keys and have the same size as the symbol keys. The right side of the emoji keys is seamlessly aligned with the right side of the mobile phone screen. The numeric / alphabetic conversion keys are located on the right side of the Chinese / English switching keys and have the same size as the Chinese / English switching keys; the right side of the numeric / alphabetic conversion keys is seamlessly aligned with the right side of the screen; the numeric / alphabetic conversion keys are located directly below the emoji keys.

[0046] As Figure 3As shown, the numeric keys are located on the left side of the screen. The left side of the numeric keys is seamlessly aligned with the left side of the screen, and the top of the numeric keys is at the 1 / 2 height of the screen. The delete key and the enter key have the same size and are the same as a single numeric key. The enter key is located below the right side of the numeric keys, aligned with the right side of the numeric keys. The delete key is located below the left side of the numeric keys, to the left of the enter key. The left side of the delete key is seamlessly aligned with the left side of the mobile phone screen. The period key and the comma key form the punctuation key, which is located directly below the delete key; the width of the punctuation key is the same as that of the delete key, and the height is 1 / 2 of the delete key. The shrink key is located directly below the enter key; the width of the shrink key is the same as that of the enter key, and the height is 1 / 2 of the enter key. When the shrink key is clicked, the above virtual keyboard shrinks, as Figure 5 shown, there is only an expand key in the lower left corner of the screen. When the expand key is clicked, all virtual keyboards expand and are displayed on the mobile phone screen, restoring Figure 3 the display state as shown. At this time, the expand key shrinks and disappears. Among them, more punctuation contents can be displayed for the user to select and use by swiping the punctuation key left or right with a finger.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] Based on the same inventive concept, this embodiment discloses a method for displaying a mobile phone input box, including the following steps:

[0050] S1 Divide the virtual keyboard into a text input box, function keys, and text input keys.

[0051] S2 Set the type of the text input keys as numeric keys and establish the correspondence between English letters or Chinese strokes and the numeric keys.

[0052] S3 Set the display position of the numeric keys according to the user's dominant hand so that they are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen.

[0053] If the user's dominant hand is the left hand, the numeric keys are displayed on the left side of the mobile phone screen; if the user's dominant hand is the right hand, the numeric keys are displayed on the right side of the mobile phone screen; if the user's dominant hand has not been determined or cannot be determined, the numeric keys are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen. When the numeric keys are displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen, the numeric keys, the text input box, and the function keys are displayed in two rows vertically.

[0054] S4 Classifies the function keys into frequently used function keys and infrequently used function keys according to the usage frequency. The frequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the numeric keys, and the infrequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the text input box.

[0055] S5 If the numeric keys are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the text input box is displayed at the bottom of the mobile phone screen.

[0056] As Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, the size and area of each virtual key of the virtual keyboard are adjusted, while ensuring clear visibility and not affecting the normal use of the user. Specifically, taking a mobile phone screen with an aspect ratio of 2:1 as an example, with the screen length of 16 cm and the screen width of 8 cm, the nine-grid input method is reduced from a width of 8 cm, a height of 5 cm, and an area of 40 square centimeters to a width of 8 cm and a height of 2 cm, and an area of 16 square centimeters in this embodiment. The area occupied by the virtual keyboard of the display method in this embodiment is reduced by 24 square centimeters compared with the traditional nine-grid input method, a reduction of 60%.

[0057] In the display state of the traditional nine-grid input method, the effective content display area of a mobile phone screen with an area of 128 square centimeters is only 88 square centimeters, while for the display method of this embodiment, the effective content display area of the same mobile phone screen is 112 square centimeters, an increase of 24 square centimeters, an increase of 27.3%.
