Method and device for slide input

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a sliding input method and device. The method comprises the steps that a plurality of track points of sliding on a virtual keyboard are captured; the virtual keyboard is provided with one or more virtual keys; one or virtual keys triggered by the track points are respectively calculated; a virtual key sequence meeting the language input feature is screened from the virtual keys; the language input feature comprises and is not limited to meet at least one of the Chinese input feature, the English input feature and the figure input feature; candidate characters corresponding to the virtual key sequence are obtained, and the candidate characters comprise and are not limited to at least one of the Chinese candidate character, the English candidate character and the figure candidate character; the candidate characters are shown. According to the sliding input method and device, mixing input of different languages is achieved, the traditional clicking operation of a user is avoided, the operation convenience is improved, and input efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of input methods, in particular to a sliding input method and a sliding input device. Background technique [0002] With the requirements of users on the mobility and portability of electronic products, the current trend of miniaturization of electronic products is developing. [0003] The multimedia function of electronic products requires that they have good input and output performance. For example, many electronic devices such as portable handheld computers, personal digital assistants, and smart phones currently use touch screen input, that is, simulate a touch screen on the touch screen of the electronic device. A virtual keyboard, the virtual keyboard generally includes several virtual keys, and the user can click on the virtual keys of the virtual keyboard with a finger or a stylus to perform input. [0004] In the current touch screen input method, the user can perform swipe input, that is, input o...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the current sliding input can only realize a single Chinese input. When the user needs to input English or numbers, he can only input through the traditional virtual keys, and all need to click on the virtual keys.

Therefore, when inputting, it is necessary to perform multiple click operations, which is very cumbersome and the input efficiency is very low; moreover, the electronic device needs to perform multiple responses to the click operation, and the resource consumption of the electronic device system is very large
