Abstract

The invention discloses an input method and a terminal, and relates to the terminal field, in particular to the input method technology of handheld terminals. The input method comprises the following steps: staring an input method, displaying a virtual key map on a screen of the terminal, wherein, a cursor is displayed on an initial position of the virtual key map; moving the cursor according to operation information of a direction key, and selecting a character according to the operation information of an okay key. The invention further provides the terminal. Key configuration of the handheld terminals can be simplified by the method and the terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of terminals, in particular to the input method technology of a handheld terminal. Background technique [0002] At present, the most commonly used method for inputting characters on a handheld terminal is the keyboard. There are two most common keyboards for handheld terminals: one is composed of 12 number keys, direction keys, and a confirmation key, and requires at least 17 keys; the other is A standard conventional keyboard (QWERTY) requires at least 28 keys. [0003] During the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found at least the following problems in the prior art: whether it is a numeric keypad or a QWERTY keyboard, multiple keys need to be configured, and the configuration of these two keyboards is a bottleneck for reducing the size of the portable terminal. Contents of the invention [0004] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides an input method and a ter...
