Problems solved by technology

Due to different palm sizes and finger lengths among different users, virtual keyboards with fixed key positions, especially virtual keyboards for tablet computers with relatively large sizes, often cannot meet the needs of different users.
For example, when the user's hand is small, if he enters information input by holding both ends of the tablet computer with both hands, his thumb cannot touch the virtual button in the middle of the tablet computer.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] see figure 1 , figure 1 Shown is a flow chart of the method for adjusting the position of the virtual keyboard according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The method comprises the steps of:

[0019] Step S11: Prompt the user to unlock the screen. Specifically, the user is prompted to use the left thumb to move left on the left half of the screen, or use the right thumb to slide right on the right half of the screen to unlock the screen.

[0020] Step S12: Judging whether the unlocking is successful. If the unlocking is successful, execute step S13; otherwise, return to step S11.

[0021] In this embodiment, the user's left thumb slides in a direction roughly parallel to the top or bottom of the screen and the end point of the left thumb slides is on the left edge of the screen, or the user's right thumb slides in a direction roughly parallel to the top or bottom of the screen and When the end point of the right thumb slide is on the right edge of th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for adjusting virtual keyboard position. The method includes prompting users to use left thumb to move to left from the left portion of a screen or use right thumb to move to right from the right portion of the screen to unlock the screen; judging if unlocking succeeds or not; if succeeds, dividing the virtual keyboard into two auxiliary keyboards; displaying the two auxiliary keyboards on two ends of the screen, and setting equal horizontal length of the two auxiliary keyboards according to actual movement slided by left thumb or right thumb of users on the screen. After the horizontal length of the two auxiliary keyboards is adjusted via the method for adjusting virtual keyboard position, users with different hand shaped are facilitated to input information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for adjusting the position of a virtual keyboard. Background technique [0002] Currently, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers mostly use touch screens and virtual keyboards to input information. When inputting information, generally four fingers of both hands are used to hold the two ends of the electronic device respectively, and two thumbs are used to touch and press the virtual keyboard to input information. [0003] However, as the screen sizes of mobile phones and tablet computers become larger and larger, the size of the virtual keyboard displayed on the screen is also correspondingly larger. The positions of the existing virtual keyboards are evenly distributed according to the screen size, and the positions of the keys are also fixed. Due to different palm sizes and finger lengths among different users, virtual keyboards with fixed key positions, especially virtual keyboards for tab...
