[0061] Receive the second information entered in the second input box and send the second information to the head-mounted device.

[0062] It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working process of the head-mounted device described above can be referred to the corresponding process in the following information input method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0063] The following will describe in detail the information input method provided by the embodiments of this application with reference to the head-mounted device shown in Figure 1. It should be noted that the head-mounted device in Figure 1 is only used to explain the information input method provided by the embodiments of this application, and does not constitute a limitation on the application scenarios of the information input method provided by the embodiments of this application.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating an information input method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0065] As shown in Figure 2, this information input method is applied to a head-mounted device, and the information input method includes steps S101-S102.

[0066] Step S101: In response to receiving an editing instruction entered in the first input box of the head-mounted device, and determining that the terminal device connected to the head-mounted device meets the input conditions, first information related to the first input box is sent to the terminal device.

[0067] A communication connection is established between the head-mounted device and the terminal device, such as via Bluetooth or WiFi. In this embodiment, the terminal device can be a mobile phone, personal computer, etc. When an input box is displayed on the head-mounted device's screen, the head-mounted device detects whether it has received an editing command entered in that input box. To easily distinguish between the input boxes in the terminal device and the head-mounted device, in this embodiment, the input box in the head-mounted device is referred to as the first input box, and the input box in the terminal device is referred to as the second input box. The input box corresponds to the input box of the virtual keyboard. In one embodiment, the editing command is a command entered by the user in the first input box of the head-mounted device. This editing command can be a click command from the user to the first input box. When the head-mounted device receives this click command, it indicates that the user wants to enter information in the first input box. In another embodiment, the editing command can be an input command triggered by the user in the virtual keyboard corresponding to the first input box. When the head-mounted device receives this input command, it indicates that the user has started entering information in the first input box.

[0068] When the head-mounted device receives an editing instruction and determines that the connected terminal device meets the input conditions, it sends the first information related to the first input box to the terminal device. The input conditions can be set to one of the following, depending on the specific circumstances:

[0069] The first input condition is that the application related to the head-mounted device installed on the terminal device is running in the foreground.

[0070] The second type of input condition is that the application related to the head-mounted device installed on the terminal device is running in the foreground, and the head-mounted device is anchored to the screen of the terminal device. Once the head-mounted device is anchored to the screen of the terminal device, it indicates that the head-mounted device has determined the screen position of the terminal device.

[0071] The third type of input condition is that the application related to the head-mounted device installed on the terminal device is running in the foreground, and the head-mounted device is anchored to the screen of the terminal device and / or the current battery level of the terminal device is greater than the preset battery level. The preset battery level can be set according to specific needs, such as 10%, 20%, etc.

[0072] The first information related to the first input box includes the editing command and the content already displayed in the first input box, as shown in Figure 3. "Hello" is the content already displayed in the first input box, and the content to be selected corresponding to the pinyin "ma" below is the content corresponding to the editing command. At this time, the editing command is the input command triggered by the user in the virtual keyboard corresponding to the first input box. The first information includes "Hello" and the content to be selected corresponding to the pinyin "ma".

[0073] Step S102: Receive the second information sent by the terminal device and display the second information, wherein the second information is the information entered in the second input box in the terminal device, and the second input box is displayed on the display interface of the terminal device when the terminal device receives the first information.

[0074] After the head-mounted device sends the first information to the terminal device, the head-mounted device checks whether it has received the second information sent by the terminal device. The second information is the information entered by the user in the second input box on the terminal device. When the terminal device receives the first information from the head-mounted device, it displays the second input box on its display interface, allowing the user to input information through it. If the first information received by the terminal device includes content already displayed in the first input box, the terminal device will simultaneously display that content in the first input box in the second input box. When the head-mounted device receives the second information, it displays it. The display position of the second information is determined by the current display interface of the head-mounted device. For example, if the current display interface is a WiFi password input interface, the second information will be displayed in the WiFi password input box; if the current display interface is a search interface, the second information will be displayed in the search information input box. It is understood that when the terminal device displays the second input box on its display interface, it will also display the corresponding virtual keyboard, allowing the user to input information using the virtual keyboard to obtain the second information. If the head-mounted device does not receive the second message from the terminal device, the head-mounted device continues to check whether it has received the second message from the terminal device. The user can enter information in the first and second input boxes as at least one of the following: text, numbers, symbols, and emoticons.

[0075] In this embodiment, when the head-mounted device receives an editing instruction entered in a first input box and determines that the terminal device connected to the head-mounted device meets the input conditions, it sends first information related to the first input box to the terminal device; it then receives and displays second information sent by the terminal device, wherein the second information is the information entered in the second input box in the terminal device, and the second input box is displayed on the terminal device's display interface when the terminal device receives the first information. By synchronizing the information entered in the terminal device to the head-mounted device, the problem of inconvenience for users to input information while wearing the head-mounted device is solved, providing a convenient input method for the head-mounted device and improving its input efficiency.

[0076] In one embodiment, referring to FIG4, the information input method further includes:

[0077] Step S103: Control the first virtual keyboard corresponding to the first input box to be in a hidden state.

[0078] After the head-mounted device sends the first information to the terminal device, the head-mounted device controls the first virtual keyboard corresponding to the first input box to be hidden. For ease of distinction, in this embodiment, the virtual keyboard in the head-mounted device is designated as the first virtual keyboard, and the virtual keyboard in the terminal device is designated as the second virtual keyboard. Referring to Figure 3, controlling the first virtual keyboard in Figure 3 to be hidden means that the head-mounted device no longer displays the virtual keyboard used for user input, thereby expanding the display interface of existing information in the head-mounted device, preventing the first virtual keyboard from occupying the display interface of the head-mounted device, and saving the display resources of the head-mounted device.

[0079] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0080] If it is detected that the second virtual keyboard corresponding to the second input box is in a hidden state, or a hidden instruction to hide the second virtual keyboard is received, then the first virtual keyboard is controlled to switch from a hidden state to a displayed state so that the first virtual keyboard is displayed on the display interface of the head-mounted device.

[0081] After the head-mounted device controls the first virtual keyboard to be hidden, it monitors whether the second virtual keyboard corresponding to the second input field in the terminal device is also hidden, or determines whether it has received a hide command from the terminal device to hide the second virtual keyboard. Understandably, when the virtual keyboard is hidden, the user cannot input information using it. When the user triggers a hide command to hide the second virtual keyboard in the terminal device, the terminal device will detect this command. The terminal device can actively send this command to the head-mounted device, or it can act as an active device, proactively monitoring whether a hide command has been triggered in the terminal device.

[0082] When the head-mounted device detects or receives a command to hide the second virtual keyboard, it controls the first virtual keyboard to switch from a hidden state to a displayed state, so that the first virtual keyboard is displayed on the head-mounted device's display interface. Understandably, when the first virtual keyboard is displayed on the head-mounted device's display interface, the user can input information using the first virtual keyboard. If the head-mounted device does not detect that the second virtual keyboard is hidden, and / or does not receive a command to hide the second virtual keyboard from the terminal device, the head-mounted device will continue to monitor whether the second virtual keyboard is hidden, or continue to monitor whether it has received a command to hide the second virtual keyboard from the terminal device.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the head-mounted device detects that the second virtual keyboard is in a hidden state, or receives a hidden command from the terminal device to hide the second virtual keyboard, it controls the first virtual keyboard to switch from a hidden state to a displayed state, thereby displaying the first virtual keyboard on the display interface of the head-mounted device. When the user cannot input information through the second virtual keyboard in the terminal device, the first virtual keyboard in the head-mounted device is retrieved in a timely manner, and the first virtual keyboard switches from a hidden state to a displayed state, making it convenient for the user to input information through the first virtual keyboard, thus improving the input efficiency of user information input.

[0084] In one embodiment, the information input method further includes: if the cursor is in the first input box, then the first input box is controlled to be in an input-enabled state.

[0085] In this embodiment, the head-mounted device monitors the position of the control cursor in real time or periodically. The control cursor indicates the object the user wants to control, such as the control cursor corresponding to a mouse. When the head-mounted device detects the control cursor in the first input box, that is, when the control cursor is displayed in the first input box, the head-mounted device puts the first input box into an input-enabled state. It can be understood that when the first input box is in an input-enabled state, it indicates that the first virtual keyboard has been displayed on the head-mounted device's display interface, and the user can input information using the first virtual keyboard.

[0086] In one embodiment, to improve the accuracy of controlling the first input box to be in an input-enabled state, the head-mounted device can monitor the display duration of the control cursor in the first input box. If the display duration is greater than or equal to a preset duration, the head-mounted device controls the first input box to be in an input-enabled state; if the display duration is less than the preset duration, the head-mounted device controls the first input box to remain in an input-unenabled state. The preset duration can be set according to specific needs, such as 3s or 5s.

[0087] The first input box is the input box in the head-mounted device. Multiple input boxes can be displayed simultaneously on the head-mounted device's interface. Therefore, when the control cursor is placed in any input box on the head-mounted device, the input box where the control cursor is located is defined as the target input box. At this time, the head-mounted device controls the target input box to be in an input-enabled state, and the virtual keyboard corresponding to the target input box will also be displayed on the head-mounted device's interface, allowing the user to input information in the target input box using the virtual keyboard. It is understandable that the head-mounted device's display interface can also be a virtual interface.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the head-mounted device detects the control cursor in the first input box, it controls the first input box to be in an input-enabled state so that the user can input information on the head-mounted device, thereby improving the efficiency of switching information input methods on the head-mounted device. The switching of information input methods includes switching from information input on the terminal device to information input on the head-mounted device, and switching from information input on the head-mounted device to information input on the terminal device.

[0089] In one embodiment, the method further includes: if an information deletion instruction sent by the terminal device is received, or if an information deletion instruction received by the terminal device is detected, then the second information displayed by the head-mounted device is deleted according to the information deletion instruction.

[0090] When a user inputs information using the second virtual keyboard on their terminal device, the user can trigger a deletion command on the terminal device to remove part or all of the information already entered. After the user triggers the deletion command, the terminal device can act as the active end to send the command to the head-mounted device. When the head-mounted device receives the deletion command from the terminal device, or when the head-mounted device detects that the terminal device has received the deletion command, it deletes part or all of the displayed second information according to the command. For example, if the second information is "Let's have dinner together tomorrow afternoon," and the user triggers a deletion command on the terminal device to delete "Let's have dinner together," the head-mounted device will also delete "Let's have dinner together" from the displayed second information, leaving only "Tomorrow afternoon" as the second information, thus achieving information synchronization between the terminal device and the head-mounted device.

[0091] This implementation achieves synchronization of input information between the terminal device and the head-mounted device by synchronously deleting the displayed second information according to the information deletion command triggered by the user in the terminal device.

[0092] In one embodiment, the method further includes: if an information sending instruction is received from the terminal device, or if it is detected that the terminal device has received an information sending instruction, then the second information is sent.

[0093] If the current information input scenario requires information transmission, the head-mounted device determines whether it has received an information transmission command from the terminal device, or whether it has detected that the terminal device has received an information transmission command. If the head-mounted device receives an information transmission command from the terminal device, or detects that the terminal device has received an information transmission command, the head-mounted device sends the second information. This information transmission command is triggered by the user on the terminal device, and the user can decide whether to trigger the information transmission command on the terminal device according to specific needs.

[0094] Examples of message sending scenarios are as follows: In a WeChat chat interface, the user needs to send the entered information for the recipient to receive it; in a search interface, the user needs to trigger a confirmation command, such as clicking the "enter" key on the keyboard, before a search will be performed based on the currently entered information. In a WeChat chat scenario, when a head-mounted device sends a second message based on a message sending command, the user currently chatting with the user wearing the head-mounted device will receive this second message; in a search scenario, when a head-mounted device sends a second message based on a message sending command, it indicates that the second message has been sent to a search engine, and a search will then be performed based on this second message.

[0095] Understandably, when a user triggers a message sending command on the terminal device, it indicates that the user has completed the message input, at which point the terminal device can close the second input box.

[0096] This embodiment controls the head-mounted device to send the second information through the information sending command in the terminal device, which eliminates the need for the user to trigger the information sending command in the head-mounted device, thus improving the convenience of triggering the information sending command.

[0097] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0098] If the number of characters corresponding to the second information displayed in the first input box is greater than or equal to a preset number, then a prompt message is output and / or the prompt message is sent to the terminal device, wherein the prompt message indicates that the number of characters displayed in the first input box is greater than or equal to the preset number.

[0099] When the head-mounted device receives the second information sent by the terminal device, the second information will be displayed in the first input box. The second information in the head-mounted device and the terminal device is synchronized; for example, if the user enters text on the terminal device, that text will also be displayed in the second input box on the head-mounted device. That is, while the user is entering the second information on the terminal device, the head-mounted device continuously receives the second information sent by the terminal device. During the process of receiving the second information, the head-mounted device determines whether the number of characters corresponding to the second information displayed in the first input box is greater than or equal to a preset number. This preset number can be set according to specific needs, such as 10 or 20. If it is determined that the number of characters corresponding to the second information displayed in the first input box is greater than or equal to the preset number, the head-mounted device generates and outputs a prompt message, and / or sends the generated prompt message to the terminal device. The prompt message indicates that the number of characters displayed in the first input box is greater than or equal to the preset number. When the number of characters displayed in the first input box is greater than or equal to the preset number, it indicates that the first input box has reached its display limit. If the user wants to continue entering information, at least some information in the second information needs to be deleted. If the number of characters corresponding to the second information displayed in the first input box is less than the preset number, it indicates that the user can continue to input information through the head-mounted device or terminal device.

[0100] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the head-mounted device reaches the upper limit of the input information, a prompt message is output or sent to the terminal device to inform the user that the input information has reached the character limit, so that the user can understand the reason why the information cannot be entered in a timely manner.

[0101] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0102] During the process of receiving the second information, or within a preset time period after receiving the second information, the head-mounted device is controlled to be in a screen-on state.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the head-mounted device receives the second information sent by the terminal device, it is determined that the head-mounted device has interacted. Therefore, during the process of the head-mounted device receiving the second information, or within a preset time after receiving the second information, the head-mounted device is controlled to remain in a bright screen state to avoid the head-mounted device being in a black screen state during the process of receiving the second information. The preset time can be set according to specific needs, such as 2 minutes or 3 minutes.

[0104] In one embodiment, if the head-mounted device is in a screen-off state, it generates a shutdown command and sends the command to the terminal device. When the terminal device receives the shutdown command, it closes the second input field accordingly.

[0105] This embodiment controls the head-mounted device to be in a bright screen state during the process of receiving the second information, or within a preset time after receiving the second information, thus avoiding the head-mounted device being in a black screen state during the process of receiving the second information, making it convenient for the user to view the input information.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a flowchart illustrating an information input method provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0107] As shown in Figure 5, this information input method is applied to a terminal device, and the information input method includes steps S201-S202.

[0108] Step S201: In response to receiving the first information sent by the head-mounted device, control the second input box to be displayed on the display interface of the terminal device, wherein the first information is sent by the head-mounted device when it receives the editing instruction entered in the first input box and determines that it meets the input conditions of the terminal device;

[0109] Step S202: Receive the second information entered in the second input box and send the second information to the head-mounted device.

[0110] When the head-mounted device receives an editing instruction from the user in the first input box and determines that the connected terminal device meets the input conditions, it sends the first information related to the first input box to the terminal device. Upon receiving the first information, the terminal device controls its second input box to appear on its display interface. It is understood that when the second input box is displayed on the terminal device's display interface, the corresponding second virtual keyboard will also appear on the terminal device's display interface, allowing the user to input information via the second virtual keyboard. While the second input box is displayed on the terminal device's display interface, the terminal device periodically or in real-time monitors whether the user has entered second information in the second input box via the second virtual keyboard. If the terminal device receives the second information entered by the user in the second input box via the second virtual keyboard, it sends this second information to the head-mounted device.

[0111] In one embodiment, if the communication connection between the terminal device and the head-mounted device is lost while the user is inputting information through the second input box in the terminal device, the second information that the terminal device has already sent to the head-mounted device will not be affected and can still be displayed in the first input box in the head-mounted device. The user can continue to input information through the first virtual keyboard corresponding to the first input box.

[0112] In this embodiment of the disclosure, after receiving the first information sent by the head-mounted device, the terminal device displays the second input box on the display interface of the terminal device. The first information is sent by the head-mounted device when it receives the editing instruction entered in the first input box and determines that it meets the input conditions of the terminal device. When the terminal device receives the second information entered in the second input box, it sends the second information to the head-mounted device. By synchronizing the information entered in the terminal device to the head-mounted device, the problem of inconvenience for users to input while wearing the head-mounted device is solved, providing a convenient input method for the head-mounted device and improving the input efficiency of the head-mounted device.
