[0022] For better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application by those skilled in the art, the present application is described in detail through specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments are provided only for better understanding of the present application, and they should not be understood as limiting the present application. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms used are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] The prior art virtual keyboard display method is shown in Figure 1 The prior art virtual keyboard is only suitable for two-hand operation, and it is not easy to press the opposite keys when single-hand operation, for example, if the right hand is operated, the leftmost key is not easy to press, and the existing virtual key occupies a large proportion of the screen, which can block the screen content.

The virtual key area for inputting letters is arranged in a double column form at 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 using the present application, the mobile phone can be held with one hand, and the thumb of the same hand can be used to input information on the double-column virtual keyboard located at one side of the mobile phone screen, and the input content in progress can be viewed through the input text display box. The text display box and the virtual key area for inputting letters are displayed separately, and the main content of the document being read is not blocked, and the screen capture is also more convenient. The present application will be described in detail through embodiments.

[0024] Embodiment one

[0025] The present embodiment discloses a display method for a mobile phone input box, comprising the following steps:

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

[0027] S2 sets the type of the text input key as a number key, and establishes a corresponding relationship between English letters or Chinese character strokes and the number key.

[0028] The corresponding relationship between the number key and the English letter is set by the nine-square input method, that is, the number key includes ten keys 0-9. Among them, key 1 does not correspond to any content, key 0 corresponds to the space key, 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 Chinese character strokes is set by the stroke input method. That is, the numeric keys include ten keys from key 0 to key 9. Among them, key 1 corresponds to the horizontal stroke (一), key 0 corresponds to the space bar, key 2 corresponds to the vertical stroke (|), key 3 corresponds to the left-falling stroke (丿), key 4 corresponds to the dot (丶), key 5 corresponds to the turning stroke (ㄥ); key 6 corresponds to the wildcard, key 7 corresponds to the word segmentation symbol, key 8 corresponds to the colon, and key 9 corresponds to the semicolon.

[0030] S3 sets the display position of the numeric keys according to the user's dominant hand, making them display on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen.

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

[0032] Method 1: Actively ask the user about their dominant hand. For example, a dialog box pops up when the mobile phone is first turned on, asking the user about their dominant hand. It can also be combined with the following two methods. For example, if the pressure sensor detects that the user often holds the mobile phone with the left hand, it can ask the user whether to switch to the left hand mode. If the user does not enable the left hand mode, the default dominant hand of the user is the right hand, that is, the numeric keys are displayed on the right side of the mobile phone screen.

[0033] [[ID=?]]Method 2: Set a pressure sensor on each side of the mobile phone to determine the user's dominant hand through the pressure sensor; since users with the left hand as the dominant hand usually hold the mobile phone with the left hand, and users with the right hand as the dominant hand usually hold the mobile phone with the right hand, when the user holds the mobile phone, they will touch the side of the mobile phone. Therefore, in this embodiment, pressure sensors are set on the left side and the right side of the mobile phone. When the user holds the mobile phone, they apply pressure to the pressure sensor. After the pressure sensor detects the pressure signal, the counter calculates the number of times the pressure sensors on both sides of the mobile phone detect the pressure signal. The side with more times is the user's dominant hand.

[0034] The specific method of Method 2 is as follows: Set a pressure sensor in the middle of the left side and the middle of the right side respectively, so that when the user holds 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 three determines the user's dominant hand by counting the frequency of the user clicking the various areas of the mobile phone screen. The middle line of the screen length direction is taken as the dividing line, and the frequency of the user clicking the left side of the screen and the right side of the screen within a preset time is counted. If the frequency of clicking the left side of the screen exceeds a threshold value, or the frequency of clicking the left side of the screen and the frequency of clicking the right side of the screen have a magnitude difference, 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 number keys are displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the number keys are displayed in two columns, and the frequently used function keys are displayed at the bottom of the number keys.

[0037] In step S4, the function keys are divided into frequently used function keys and infrequently used function keys according to the frequency of use. The frequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the number keys, and the infrequently used function keys are displayed in the same area as the text input box.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the function keys in step S4 include the function keys commonly found in general mobile phones. In this embodiment, nine function keys are provided, including an erase key, a frequently used punctuation key, a return key, a contraction key (downward arrow in the figure), an expansion key (upward arrow in the figure), a symbol key, an expression key, a Chinese-English switching key, and a number-text switching key (123 key in the figure).

[0039] The erase key, when clicked, can delete the content of the character before the current cursor position. The return key, when clicked, can confirm the sending of the information content that has been input into the input text display box. The contraction key, when clicked, can make all virtual keyboards shrink to a 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, when clicked, can display more punctuation symbols through a floating window for the user to select and click to input. The expression key, when clicked, can display more expressions through a floating window for the user to select and click to input. The Chinese-English switching key can switch the number keys between Chinese and English pinyin and English letters. The number-text switching key, when clicked, can switch the number keys between inputting numbers and inputting Chinese and English. In the contracted state, the expansion key, when clicked, can switch the virtual keyboard from the contracted state to the expanded state, so that all virtual keyboards are displayed on the screen.

[0040] The frequently used function keys include the delete key, the return key, the period key, and the comma key. If space permits, the question mark key and / or the exclamation mark key can also be included. The period key, the comma key, the question mark key, and the exclamation mark key can be set separately, or only one key, the frequently used punctuation key, can be set. Clicking can input the four commonly used punctuation symbols, i.e. period, comma, question mark, and exclamation mark. For example, clicking can display a selection box including the four punctuation marks, or clicking once can display a period, and clicking twice quickly can display a comma, and so on.

[0041] Less frequently used function keys include symbol keys, emoji keys, Chinese-English conversion keys, and number-to-text conversion keys.

[0042] If the number keys are displayed on the left or right side of the phone screen, the text input box will be displayed at the bottom of the phone screen.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the virtual key area for inputting letters (number keys 0-9) is arranged in two columns with the cancel key, period key, comma key, enter key, and close key, displayed on the left or right side of the phone screen according to the user's dominant hand. The text input box, symbol key, emoji key, Chinese-English switch key, and number-to-text switch key are displayed at the bottom of the phone screen. The symbol key, emoji key, Chinese-English switch key, and number-to-text switch key are arranged in a grid pattern, and the sum of the lengths of the long sides of the text input box and the grid pattern is equal to the width of the phone screen.

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 a threshold, then the user's dominant hand is the left hand; otherwise, the user's dominant hand is the right hand.

4. The method for displaying a mobile phone input box as described in claim 2, characterized in that, The method for determining a user's dominant hand by statistically analyzing the frequency of their taps on different areas of the phone screen is as follows: Using the midline along the length of the screen as a dividing line, the frequency of the user tapping the left and right sides of the screen within a preset time period is counted. If the frequency of tapping the left side of the screen exceeds a threshold, or if there is a difference in magnitude between the frequency of tapping the left and right sides of the screen, then the user's dominant hand is considered to be the left hand; otherwise, the user's dominant hand is considered to be the right hand.

5. The method for displaying a mobile phone input box as described in claim 2, characterized in that, If the user's dominant hand is left-handed, the number keys are displayed on the left side of the phone screen; if the user's dominant hand is right-handed, the number keys are displayed on the right side of the phone screen; if the user's dominant hand has not yet been determined or cannot be determined, the number keys are displayed at the bottom of the phone screen.

6. The method for displaying a mobile phone input box as described in any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, The correspondence between the number keys and English letters is set by the nine-key input method, and the correspondence between the number keys and Chinese character strokes is set by the stroke input method.

7. The method for displaying a mobile phone input box as described in any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, The commonly used function keys include the delete key, enter key, period key, and comma key; the less commonly used function keys include the symbol key, emoji key, Chinese-English conversion key, and number-to-text conversion key; when the number key is displayed on the left or right side of the mobile phone screen, the symbol key, emoji key, Chinese-English conversion key, and number-to-text conversion key are arranged in a grid pattern, and the sum of the length of the long side of the text input box and the grid pattern is equal to the width of the mobile phone screen.

8. An electronic device, characterized in that, include: At least one processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor, the instructions being executed by the processor to enable the processor to perform the display method for a mobile phone input box as described in any one of claims 1-7.
