Floating Keyboard Input Text Preview Area
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing floating keyboard design causes visual fatigue and reduces input speed due to the need for users to switch their line of sight between the keyboard and the input box of an application, leading to typos and decreased efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An input method and electronic device implementation that displays a floating keyboard with a key operation area and an input text preview area, allowing text input to be acquired and displayed as target text, which is then input into the current application upon a content delivery instruction, eliminating the need for users to switch their gaze.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a floating keyboard is used for text input, then typing flexibility is improved, but visual fatigue increases and input speed decreases due to line of sight switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the floating keyboard with an input box by displaying the input box directly on the keyboard interface. The input box is integrated into the keyboard layout, allowing users to view and input text within the same visual area, eliminating the need to switch line of sight between separate keyboard and input box locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an input box as an intermediary element that bridges the floating keyboard and the application's text input field. This input box is displayed on the keyboard interface and automatically synchronizes with the application's input field, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for direct gaze at the application's input field while maintaining text input functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a floating keyboard is used for text input, then typing flexibility is improved, but typo rate increases due to line of sight switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the input box display with the keyboard interface, creating a unified visual field. Users can see both the keyboard and the input text simultaneously within the keyboard's display area, eliminating the need to shift attention between separate locations and thereby reducing typing errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements real-time feedback by displaying the input text directly on the keyboard interface as users type. This immediate visual feedback allows users to monitor their input accuracy without shifting line of sight, enabling them to correct errors promptly and maintain higher typing accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a floating keyboard is used for text input, then typing flexibility is improved, but visual fatigue increases due to line of sight switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the keyboard and input box into a single integrated interface displayed on the floating keyboard. This integration creates a unified visual field that eliminates the need for repeated line of sight switching between separate keyboard and input box locations, thereby reducing visual fatigue while maintaining typing flexibility.

AI summary
An input method, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. In the method, a floating keyboard corresponding to a current application is displayed, where the floating keyboard includes a key operation area and an input text preview area. At least one text inputted through the key operation area is acquired, and the at least one text is displayed as a target text in the input text preview area. In response to a content delivery instruction associated with the target text, the target text is input into the current application.
