Specifically, first device 110 is by such as calling the application programming interfaces that touch control terminal is provided(API), or, by calling the application programming interfaces (API) that equipment 1 is provided self, obtainThe user's the first operation on the touch screen of touch control terminal.
Here, the shape of described dummy keyboard includes but not limited to: annular, bar shaped or rectangle etc..In actual applications, dummy keyboard display situation and shape can be according to the shapes of the touch screen of described equipmentThe operating habits of shape, the size of touch screen, interface visual effect and user etc. are because the most rationally determining.Such as, the shape of touch screen irregular rectangle, or in order to promote the overall visual effect at interface,Dummy keyboard can be designed as arc.Those skilled in the art will be understood that the shape of above-mentioned dummy keyboardShape is only for example, and other shapes of dummy keyboard that are existing or that be likely to occur from now on are such as applicable to thisInvention, within also should being included in scope, and is incorporated herein with way of reference at this.
Further, described dummy keyboard is all or part of in described tactile screen display.Here, it is emptyIntend keyboard situation about being particularly shown, equally regard according to the shape of touch screen, the size of touch screen, interfaceThe operating habits of feel effect and user etc. are because the most rationally determining.Such as, user use equipment time,Conventional mode of operation is the both sides that both hands hold equipment, and is entered at the marginal area of touch screen by thumbRow touch control operation.Now, if dummy keyboard is annular, only edge at touch screen half ring can be shownShape dummy keyboard, concrete as in figure 2 it is shown, wherein the indication range of dummy keyboard be region 2A, whenUser is when holding the both sides of equipment, and the range of activity of its thumb can cover the display model of dummy keyboardEnclose, without unclamping both hands during operation, improve the convenience of operation.
For the character currently chosen in dummy keyboard, can be by the way of highlighting so that it is districtNot in other not selected character.The mode highlighted can use and be highlighted character, increasesAdd background colour, add boldface type, change font color or size, near character, increase by a radio check markOne or more combination in modes such as (arrow, indicatrixs etc.).Such as in Fig. 2, forThe character 3 currently chosen, can increase background colour, simultaneously in annular inboard in the viewing area of characterIncrease by a radio check mark 2C so that it is unselected with other that user can quickly distinguish the character currently chosenMiddle character.Those skilled in the art will be understood that the above-mentioned mode that highlights currently choosing character is onlyCiting, other modes that are existing or that be likely to occur from now on are such as applicable to the present invention, also should be included inWithin scope, and it is incorporated herein with way of reference at this.
Specifically, the second device 120 determines described void according to the glide direction of described first slideIntend the switching direction of character in keyboard, and switch the word currently chosen according to described switching direction successivelySymbol.Wherein said glide direction only needs to exist relation one to one, in fact with switching directionThe feelings can arranged in dummy keyboard according to the shape of dummy keyboard and character to be selected in the application of borderCondition reasonable set.Such as, for the dummy keyboard shown in Fig. 2, if the first slide sets in advanceIt is set to: by the slip upwardly or downwardly of the operating point of user.When glide direction is by operating point 2BTime upwards, then this dummy keyboard can turn clockwise according to this slide upwards, now virtual keyIn dish, the switching direction of character is: switched to character 2, character 1 successively by the character 3 currently chosen；Relatively, when glide direction be by operating point 2B downward time, then dummy keyboard can according to this upwardsSlide rotates counterclockwise, and now in dummy keyboard, the switching direction of character is: by currently chooseCharacter 3 switches to character 4, character 5 successively.Here, alleged by glide direction up or downBe only used for stating general direction, operating point 2B initiate and with the tangential direction of Loop shaped virtual keyboard inThe slide of certain angle is also understood to slide downward or upward, such as can by withDescribed tangential direction is that the slide in the range of 45 ° is judged to equidirectional slide.Here,Described operating point includes but not limited to: user's touch location on touch screen；Or operated by userThe interactive device corresponding cursor positions on screen such as mouse, trace ball or Trackpad.
For another example, the dummy keyboard of display the most single for character to be selected, with square as shown in Figure 3As a example by shape dummy keyboard, it is assumed that the character currently chosen is character 5, when the operating point of user is along a certainDirection set in advance (as upwards) slide time, the switching direction of its correspondence is: from left to right, byUnder supreme, the character the most currently chosen can be by character 5 successively to character 6, character 7, character 8, wordSymbol 9 switches successively；Relatively, when the operating point of user is slided (as downwards) in opposite direction,The switching direction of its correspondence is: from right to left, from top to bottom, and the character the most currently chosen can be by character5 switch successively to character 4, character 3, character 2, character 1 successively.
When described dummy keyboard comprising character being more, if the spacing of two characters is longer, such asLoop shaped virtual keyboard shown in Fig. 2 comprises dozens of character, and needs continuous two words of inputSymbol lays respectively at the both sides that on this Loop shaped virtual keyboard, distance is farthest, the most between the two may when switchingThe longer time can be spent, thus affect the efficiency of character input.For the problems referred to above, described secondDevice 120 determines character in described dummy keyboard always according to the sliding speed of described first slideSwitch speed.Such as, for the dummy keyboard shown in Fig. 2, it is sliding that the second device can obtain firstThe sliding speed of dynamic operation, then the corresponding relation by presetting is obtained Loop shaped virtual key by sliding speedThe angular velocity that dish rotates, in this angular velocity the biggest then Loop shaped virtual keyboard, the switch speed of character is the fastest,Otherwise the switch speed of character is the slowest.When needing successive character distant of input, permissibleBy quickly sliding, shorten the speed of switching；And work as the close together of the successive character of needs inputTime, then can ensure the accuracy that character switches, it is to avoid because cutting too quickly by slower slipThrow-over degree, causes character to be difficult to choose.
Here, be constant work between each device of equipment 1.Specifically, first device110 persistently obtain the user's the first slide in the dummy keyboard execution of tactile screen display；Second dressPut 120 to continue to switch, according to described first slide, the character currently chosen in described dummy keyboard；3rd device 130 continues to show the described character currently chosen in the character input area of described touch screen.Here, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that between each device that described " continuing " refers to equipment 1The most constantly carry out the acquisition of the first slide, currently choose the switching of character, and currently selectThe display of middle character, until equipment 1 stops obtaining described first operation in a long time.
Further, this application provides one preferred embodiment, wherein said dummy keyboardQuantity can arrange multiple；In conjunction with Fig. 1, the concrete structure of described first device 110 as shown in Figure 4,Including the one one module and the one or two module.Wherein the one one module 111 obtains user at described touch screenOn operating position, when described operating position overlaps with the display position of any one dummy keyboard,The dummy keyboard at described operating position will be in switch to the dummy keyboard of current active；One or two mouldBlock 112 obtains the user the first slip behaviour in the dummy keyboard execution of the current active of tactile screen displayMake.Correspondingly, described second device 120 switches described current active according to described first slideDummy keyboard in the character currently chosen.
Wherein, the operation on described touch screen of the user acquired in the one one module 111 can be userArbitrarily operation (such as clicking operation or slide etc.), and the one one module 111 and firstTwo modules 112 can perform simultaneously or sequencing performs, and the most described first slide is permissibleObtained by the one one module 111 simultaneously, and according to the dummy keyboard of its operating position switching current active.
If being click on accessed by the one one module 111 operates, then can get this click behaviourThe operating point made, if on the display position of some dummy keyboard that is on touch screen of this operating point, thenThis dummy keyboard can be switched to the dummy keyboard of current active.If the one one module 111 is obtainedGet is slide, then can using whole slide all operations point of process as switchingThe foundation of the dummy keyboard of current active, it is also possible to only using the startup operation point of this slide asThe foundation of the dummy keyboard of switching current active.
As a example by the equipment interface shown in Fig. 5, this interface shows three annular dummy keyboards,The display position of its correspondence is respectively region 5A, region 5B and region 5C, the slip of user's inputOperating and slid into termination operating point 5E by startup operation point 5D, wherein startup operation point 5D is in districtIn the 5C of territory, and terminate operating point 5E and be in the 5A of region.If the one one module is by the whole behaviour that slidesMake all operations point of process as the foundation of dummy keyboard of switching current active, for similar cunningThe dynamic operation operating this kind of continuous contact touch screen, then can be during operation continues, persistently to operationThe position of point judges, and the virtual key of the position switching current active being presently according to operating pointDish, in this case, when operating point is moved to region 5A by region 5C, the one one moduleI.e. the dummy keyboard of current active can be switched over.
In actual applications, it is not precluded from using due to the operation of the dummy keyboard for switching current activeIn the first slide of selection character, the i.e. first slide can switch the void of current active simultaneouslyIntend the character in the dummy keyboard of keyboard and selection current active.For the equipment that touch screen is less, byLess in the region of operation, easily make the viewing area of the slide multiple dummy keyboards of leapTerritory.If the first slide crosses over the viewing area of multiple dummy keyboards, may be such that this orderOne slide chooses the character in another dummy keyboard, causes input error.Therefore can only byThe startup operation point of this slide as the foundation of dummy keyboard of switching current active, i.e. forThe operation of similar slide this kind of continuous contact touch screen, only touches initial behaviour during touch screen first by userMake point and be judged to the operating position of this time.In this case, when in Fig. 5 acquired in the one one moduleAfter shown slide, the dummy keyboard of current active is the dummy keyboard being shown in region 5C,The dummy keyboard that will not make current active switches over during a slide.
For the dummy keyboard of current active, can be by the way of highlighting so that it is be different from itIts dummy keyboard.The mode highlighted can use character is highlighted, increase background colour,The font of character in overstriking dummy keyboard, the one changed in the mode such as font color or size or manyThe combination planted.Here, those skilled in the art will be understood that the above-mentioned dummy keyboard to current activeThe mode of highlighting is only for example, and other modes that are existing or that be likely to occur from now on are such as applicable to thisInvention, within also should being included in scope, and is incorporated herein with way of reference at this.
The another kind of preferred implementation provided as the application, when the quantity of described dummy keyboard is manyTime individual, the distance between any two dummy keyboard is more than predetermined threshold value.By arranging two virtual keysMinimum range between dish, the hypotelorism being possible to prevent between dummy keyboard, it is to avoid virtual to otherThe maloperation of keyboard.Such as, set predetermined threshold value according to the finger width of normal adult human, as5mm。
Further, multiple dummy keyboards display position on described touch screen include following any one orThe combination of two kinds: all show at least one described dummy keyboard in the both sides of described touch screen, or in instituteThe central authorities stating touch screen show at least one dummy keyboard.As a example by three dummy keyboards, can be at touch screenLeft side show one, right side shows two, as it is shown in figure 5, this kind of display mode can conveniently be usedFamily held by both hands is held in operation during equipment both sides；Can also be at central authorities' three virtual keys of display of touch screenDish, as shown in Figure 6, the operation of another hands when this kind of mode can facilitate user's one hand holding apparatus.Certainly, for the consideration (such as interface integral layout etc.) of other factors, it is also possible in the left and right sidesAnd central authorities' each display one dummy keyboard.
So that the display position of above-mentioned dummy keyboard is more flexible, the application provides and further provides forOne is preferred embodiment so that the display position of dummy keyboard can be sent out according to the operation of userChanging, its structure is as it is shown in fig. 7, in addition to the device shown in Fig. 1, described equipment 1 also includesFive devices 150.Specifically, described 5th device 150 is obtaining virtual in tactile screen display of userBefore the first slide that keyboard performs, obtain what user performed in the second area of described touch screen3rd operation, according to the display position of dummy keyboard described in described 3rd operation change.Here, abilityField technique personnel should be appreciated that first device the 110, second device 120 and the 3rd device 130 respectivelyIdentical or essentially identical with the content of corresponding intrument in Fig. 1 embodiment, for simplicity's sake, therefore at this notRepeat again, and be incorporated herein by reference.

Further, described dummy keyboard is all or part of in described tactile screen display.Here, it is emptyIntend keyboard situation about being particularly shown, equally regard according to the shape of touch screen, the size of touch screen, interfaceThe operating habits of feel effect and user etc. are because the most rationally determining.Such as, user use equipment time,Conventional mode of operation is the both sides that both hands hold equipment, and is entered at the marginal area of touch screen by thumbRow touch control operation.Now, if dummy keyboard is annular, only edge at touch screen half ring can be shownShape dummy keyboard, concrete as in figure 2 it is shown, wherein the indication range of dummy keyboard be region 2A, whenUser is when holding the both sides of equipment, and the range of activity of its thumb can cover the display model of dummy keyboardEnclose, without unclamping both hands during operation, improve the convenience of operation.
For the character currently chosen in dummy keyboard, can be by the way of highlighting so that it is districtNot in other not selected character.The mode highlighted can use and be highlighted character, increasesAdd background colour, add boldface type, change font color or size, near character, increase by a radio check markOne or more combination in modes such as (arrow, indicatrixs etc.).Such as in Fig. 2, forThe character 3 currently chosen, can increase background colour, simultaneously in annular inboard in the viewing area of characterIncrease by a radio check mark 2C so that it is unselected with other that user can quickly distinguish the character currently chosenMiddle character.Those skilled in the art will be understood that the above-mentioned mode that highlights currently choosing character is onlyCiting, other modes that are existing or that be likely to occur from now on are such as applicable to the present invention, also should be included inWithin scope, and it is incorporated herein with way of reference at this.
Specifically, switch, according to described first slide, the word currently chosen in described dummy keyboardSymbol, including: determine character in described dummy keyboard according to the glide direction of described first slideSwitching direction, and the character currently chosen is switched successively according to described switching direction.
Wherein said glide direction only needs to exist relation one to one, in fact with switching directionThe feelings can arranged in dummy keyboard according to the shape of dummy keyboard and character to be selected in the application of borderCondition reasonable set.Such as, for the dummy keyboard shown in Fig. 2, if the first slide sets in advanceIt is set to: by the slip upwardly or downwardly of the operating point of user.When glide direction is by operating point 2BTime upwards, then this dummy keyboard can turn clockwise according to this slide upwards, now virtual keyIn dish, the switching direction of character is: switched to character 2, character 1 successively by the character 3 currently chosen；Relatively, when glide direction be by operating point 2B downward time, then dummy keyboard can according to this upwardsSlide rotates counterclockwise, and now in dummy keyboard, the switching direction of character is: by currently chooseCharacter 3 switches to character 4, character 5 successively.Here, alleged by glide direction up or downBe only used for stating general direction, operating point 2B initiate and with the tangential direction of Loop shaped virtual keyboard inThe slide of certain angle is also understood to slide downward or upward, such as can by withDescribed tangential direction is that the slide in the range of 45 ° is judged to equidirectional slide.Here,Described operating point includes but not limited to: user's touch location on touch screen；Or operated by userThe interactive device corresponding cursor positions on screen such as mouse, trace ball or Trackpad.
For another example, the dummy keyboard of display the most single for character to be selected, with square as shown in Figure 3As a example by shape dummy keyboard, it is assumed that the character currently chosen is character 5, when the operating point of user is along a certainDirection set in advance (as upwards) slide time, the switching direction of its correspondence is: from left to right, byUnder supreme, the character the most currently chosen can be by character 5 successively to character 6, character 7, character 8, wordSymbol 9 switches successively；Relatively, when the operating point of user is slided (as downwards) in opposite direction,The switching direction of its correspondence is: from right to left, from top to bottom, and the character the most currently chosen can be by character5 switch successively to character 4, character 3, character 2, character 1 successively.
When described dummy keyboard comprising character being more, if the spacing of two characters is longer, such asLoop shaped virtual keyboard shown in Fig. 2 comprises dozens of character, and needs continuous two words of inputSymbol lays respectively at the both sides that on this Loop shaped virtual keyboard, distance is farthest, the most between the two may when switchingThe longer time can be spent, thus affect the efficiency of character input.For the problems referred to above, above-mentioned basisDescribed first slide switches the character currently chosen in described dummy keyboard, also includes: according to instituteThe sliding speed stating the first slide determines the switch speed of character in described dummy keyboard.Such as,For the dummy keyboard shown in Fig. 2, can be by obtaining the sliding speed of the first slide, soThe angular velocity that Loop shaped virtual keyboard rotates, this angle is obtained by sliding speed afterwards according to the corresponding relation presetIn speed the biggest then Loop shaped virtual keyboard, the switch speed of character is the fastest, otherwise the switch speed of character is thenThe slowest.When needing successive character distant of input, can shorten by quickly slidingThe speed of switching；And when needing successive character close together of input, then can be by slowerSlide, ensure the accuracy that character switches, it is to avoid because of switch speed too quickly, cause character to be difficult toChoose.
Here, be constant execution between each step, described " continuing " is that the method is continuousGround carries out the acquisition of the first slide, currently chooses the switching of character, and currently chooses characterDisplay, until stopping in a long time obtaining described first operation.
Further, this application provides one preferred embodiment, wherein said dummy keyboardQuantity can arrange multiple；Figure 11 in S1101, specifically include: obtain user at described touch screenOn operating position, when described operating position overlaps with the display position of any one dummy keyboard,The dummy keyboard at described operating position will be in switch to the dummy keyboard of current active；And obtainUser is at the first slide of the dummy keyboard execution of the current active of tactile screen display.Correspondingly,Switch, according to described first slide, the character currently chosen in described dummy keyboard, specifically include:The character currently chosen in the dummy keyboard of described current active is switched according to described first slide.
Wherein, the operation of the dummy keyboard for switching current active can be any operation of user(such as clicking operation or slide etc.), and two process actions that S1101 is comprised: obtainTake family operating position on described touch screen, when described operating position and any one dummy keyboardWhen display position overlaps, the dummy keyboard at described operating position will be in switch to the void of current activeIntend keyboard, and obtain the user's the first cunning in the dummy keyboard execution of the current active of tactile screen displayDynamic operation, can perform simultaneously or sequencing performs.The most described first slide canTo be acquired, and according to the dummy keyboard of its operating position switching current active.
If get is click on operation, then can get the operating point of this clicking operation, if shouldOn the display position of some dummy keyboard that operating point is on touch screen, then can be by this virtual keyDish switches to the dummy keyboard of current active.If accessed is slide, then can be by wholeSlide all operations point of process as the foundation of dummy keyboard of switching current active, it is possible toUsing only by the startup operation point of this slide as the foundation of dummy keyboard of switching current active.
As a example by the interface shown in Fig. 5, this interface shows three annular dummy keyboards, itsCorresponding display position is respectively region 5A, region 5B and region 5C, the slip behaviour of user's inputMaking to be slid into termination operating point 5E by startup operation point 5D, wherein startup operation point 5D is in regionIn 5C, and terminate operating point 5E and be in the 5A of region.If the one one module is by whole slideThe all operations point of process as the foundation of dummy keyboard of switching current active, for similar slipOperate the operation of this kind of continuous contact touch screen, then can be during operation continue, persistently to operating pointPosition judge, and the virtual key of the position switching current active being presently according to operating pointDish, in this case, when operating point is moved to region 5A by region 5C, the one one moduleI.e. the dummy keyboard of current active can be switched over.
In actual applications, it is not precluded from using due to the operation of the dummy keyboard for switching current activeIn the first slide of selection character, the i.e. first slide can switch the void of current active simultaneouslyIntend the character in the dummy keyboard of keyboard and selection current active.For the equipment that touch screen is less, byLess in the region of operation, easily make the viewing area of the slide multiple dummy keyboards of leapTerritory.If the first slide crosses over the viewing area of multiple dummy keyboards, may be such that this orderOne slide chooses the character in another dummy keyboard, causes input error.Therefore can only byThe startup operation point of this slide as the foundation of dummy keyboard of switching current active, i.e. forThe operation of similar slide this kind of continuous contact touch screen, only touches initial behaviour during touch screen first by userMake point and be judged to the operating position of this time.In this case, when in Fig. 5 acquired in the one one moduleAfter shown slide, the dummy keyboard of current active is the dummy keyboard being shown in region 5C,The dummy keyboard that will not make current active switches over during a slide.
For the dummy keyboard of current active, can be by the way of highlighting so that it is be different from itIts dummy keyboard.The mode highlighted can use character is highlighted, increase background colour,The font of character in overstriking dummy keyboard, the one changed in the mode such as font color or size or manyThe combination planted.Here, those skilled in the art will be understood that the above-mentioned dummy keyboard to current activeThe mode of highlighting is only for example, and other modes that are existing or that be likely to occur from now on are such as applicable to thisInvention, within also should being included in scope, and is incorporated herein with way of reference at this.
The another kind of preferred implementation provided as the application, when the quantity of described dummy keyboard is manyTime individual, the distance between any two dummy keyboard is more than predetermined threshold value.By arranging two virtual keysMinimum range between dish, the hypotelorism being possible to prevent between dummy keyboard, it is to avoid virtual to otherThe maloperation of keyboard.Such as, set predetermined threshold value according to the finger width of normal adult human, as5mm。
Further, multiple dummy keyboards display position on described touch screen include following any one orThe combination of two kinds: all show at least one described dummy keyboard in the both sides of described touch screen, or in instituteThe central authorities stating touch screen show at least one dummy keyboard.As a example by three dummy keyboards, can be at touch screenLeft side show one, right side shows two, as it is shown in figure 5, this kind of display mode can conveniently be usedFamily held by both hands is held in operation during equipment both sides；Can also be at central authorities' three virtual keys of display of touch screenDish, as shown in Figure 6, the operation of another hands when this kind of mode can facilitate user's one hand holding apparatus.Certainly, for the consideration (such as interface integral layout etc.) of other factors, it is also possible in the left and right sidesAnd central authorities' each display one dummy keyboard.
