Candidate selection method and device based on input method

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a candidate selection method and device based on an input method. The method includes the steps that when an input character string is received, one or more candidate information corresponding to the character string is looked up; the one or more candidate information is displayed in a candidate region; when a sliding trajectory is detected, the sliding direction of the sliding trajectory is recognized; a cursor between the one or more candidate information is moved according to the sliding direction so as to select the candidate information. By means of the method and device, the situation that a user clicks in the candidate region to select the candidate information is avoided, and the sliding direction of the sliding trajectory is free of limitation of the candidate region, so that the recognition accuracy is greatly improved, and the input error rate is greatly decreased; moreover, a single hand can conduct sliding operation easily, operation with two hands is not needed, and operation simplicity is greatly improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of input methods, in particular to a candidate selection method based on the input method and a candidate selection device based on the input method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of mobile Internet technology, people use mobile devices more and more frequently. In the process of using mobile devices, people often need to input information, such as communication, surfing the Internet, and sending Weibo. Therefore, use mobile The interactive input of information by the device is a very important use scenario. [0003] At the same time, mobile devices are rapidly developing and popularizing toward large screens, and people need to input information on large screen mobile devices anytime and anywhere. [0004] However, due to the limitation of the human body characteristics, if the user wants to input on the large-screen device, the user has to use both hands to operate, that is, hold...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the limitations of human physical characteristics, users have to use both hands to perform operations on large-screen devices, that is, hold the mobile device with one hand, and perform operations such as key input and clicks with the other hand

[0005] On the one hand, due to the long distance between the finger and the candidate area, it is often difficult for the user to complete the required candidate text selection on the screen with one hand, and it is necessary to move a long distance to select the candidate area. Accidental clicks occur and the error rate is high

[0006] On the other hand, when the candidate item is not on the first screen, the user needs to turn the page, click and other multiple operations to complete the desired candidate word on the screen, and the operation is very troublesome
