Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies when trying to operate keywords in text information on touch terminals, as it requires multiple operation steps, making it time-consuming and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A text processing method and device that acquires position information from an external touch, determines a word segmentation region, recognizes characters, performs word segmentation, and displays the results, allowing users to select and operate keywords directly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional text processing methods are used, then text information can be displayed, but operating keywords requires multiple steps which is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvekeyword operation efficiencyVSAvoidtime required for keyword operation

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary word segmentation and character recognition automatically when text is displayed, so that when users need to operate a keyword, the text is already processed and ready for quick selection and operation, eliminating the need for manual multiple-step processing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical text processing operations with automated image recognition and word segmentation technologies, allowing the system to automatically identify and segment words in the text, thereby reducing the steps required for keyword operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If manual text processing is used, then users can control the process, but the operation process is complex and inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconvenience of keyword operationVSAvoidnumber of operation steps

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically executing word segmentation and character recognition without requiring user intervention in the processing steps. The text processing system independently completes the segmentation and recognition tasks, making the operation simple and convenient for users

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the text into individual characters and words through automatic word segmentation, making it easier for users to identify and operate specific keywords without navigating through complex processing steps

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A text processing method is provided, including: acquiring position information of an external touch in response to the external touch sensed by a touch terminal; acquiring a character image based on the position information of the external touch; acquiring a first text by recognizing characters in the character image; acquiring a word segmentation result by performing word segmentation on characters in the first text; and displaying the word segmentation result. The text processing method combines technologies of touch sensing, image recognition and word segmentation, so as to acquire efficiently and quickly a character, a word, a named entity, and the like in the region indicated by the external touch for various systems, which is convenient for a user to select a keyword directly in the text instead of inputting the keyword in the follow-up operation, thus improving the efficiency of operation.
