Method and device for editing characters by using gestures

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for editing characters by using gestures. The method comprises the steps of: comparing position data of use input strokes with position domain value data of at least one corresponding character, and further judging that the input strokes are whether the input strokes are used for edition and a user selects which characters for edition; when judging that the input stokes are intersected with the characters, further obtaining geometrical characteristics of the input strokes according to the obtained position data, and judging whether the input strokes are edition gestures according to the obtained geometrical characteristics; if yes, making corresponding edition processing on the characters intersected with the input strokes. Therefore, the method provided by the invention can be used for directly carrying out corresponding edition processing on the corresponding characters through the corresponding characters selected by the edition gestures, is simple in an operation process, and is convenient and rapid in use of a user, therefore, operation time when the user edits the characters can be saved, condition of breaking a user though train due to longer operation time interval is avoided as soon as possible, and user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of text editing, in particular to a method and device for editing text by using gestures. Background technique [0002] With the continuous advancement of technological development, various electronic devices with text input and editing functions have poured into the market, and these electronic devices provide more and more ways of text input. The most common input methods include handwriting input and input through a physical keyboard or a virtual keyboard. For example, tablet computers on the market generally provide the functions of handwriting input and text input via a virtual keyboard. But no matter which method is used to input text, when the input text needs to be edited accordingly, the existing method is to move the cursor to the corresponding position first, and use the delete key on the keyboard to delete one by one, or select the corresponding Text, and then the edit menu pops up through a further clic...
