Touch Screen Proofreading Mode for Content Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current touch screen content writing methods lack advanced editing functions, relying mainly on simple proofreading and requiring users to switch between writing and editing modes, which is inconvenient for users.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a touch screen with an electronic pen for writing content, incorporating a proofreading mode that allows users to input proofreading marks directly, enabling advanced editing functions such as insertion, deletion, slope correction, and paragraph alignment through intuitive gestures and menu controls, enhancing the editing experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If simple proofreading based on recognized character is used, then the system is easy to operate, but the editing function is limited and not useful enough for users
Solution Approach 1:
The touch screen system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it can display recognized text, detect proofreading marks written by users, identify gesture inputs, and execute corresponding editing commands. This multi-functional approach allows the same interface to handle both simple proofreading and advanced editing operations without requiring separate systems.
Solution Approach 2:
Gesture input serves as an intermediary mechanism between the user and the editing functions. Users write proofreading marks and gestures on the touch screen, which the system then interprets to execute editing operations. This intermediary approach makes complex editing functions more intuitive and easier to operate.
2Adaptability or versatility
If advanced editing functions are added to touch screen writing method, then the editing functionality is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies whether an input is a proofreading mark or a gesture based on analysis of the written content, and automatically executes the corresponding editing command. This self-service approach reduces the need for complex mode switching and manual configuration, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity despite adding advanced functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The proofreading mode and gesture control functions are merged into a single integrated system. The touch screen interface combines text recognition, proofreading mark detection, gesture recognition, and command execution into one unified workflow, reducing overall system complexity compared to having separate systems for each function.
3Device complexity
If mode switching between writing and editing is required, then the system structure is simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between writing mode and proofreading mode based on user input. When the user completes writing and writes a proofreading mark, the system automatically transitions to proofreading mode, and can further transition to gesture control mode. This dynamic adaptation eliminates the need for manual mode switching while maintaining a relatively simple system structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by analyzing the user's written input and automatically determining the next appropriate mode. The system monitors the writing input, identifies proofreading marks, and responds by enabling the corresponding editing functions. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adapt its behavior based on user actions, improving ease of operation without requiring complex pre-programmed mode switching.

AI summary
A method of writing a content through a writing input on a touch screen, and a corresponding apparatus. The method comprises detecting a writing input, displaying written input content corresponding to the detected writing input and identifying whether a proofreading mode is set. If the proofreading mode is set, the method further comprises: entering a proofreading mode; identifying a preset proofreading mark in the written input content; and applying a content editing function preset for the corresponding proofreading mark.
