Abstract
An input method and an electronic device are provided. The input method includes: detecting a presence of a first track set which corresponds to a first predetermined identifier, wherein the first track set comprises at least one track and is inputted into the electronic device; and if the first track set corresponds to the first predetermined identifier, associating a second track set with at least one second predetermined character that is related to the first predetermined identifier, wherein the second track set comprises at least one second track and is inputted into the electronic device after the first track set has been inputted. Recognition ability of the electronic device for the character is improved, and the input efficiency is increased.
Claims18
A handwriting input method of an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a processor operating in conjunction with a memory, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the processor, a presence of a first handwriting track set, wherein the first handwriting track set comprises at least one track and is inputted into the electronic device;
- determining, by the processor, whether the first handwriting track set matches a predetermined identifier in a first character set;
- in a case that the first handwriting track set does not match the predetermined identifier in the first character set:
- displaying a first candidate character corresponding to the first handwriting track set in a candidate display area of the electronic device, wherein the first candidate character is characters in the first character set;
- in a case that the first handwriting track set matches the predetermined identifier in the first character set:
- detecting, by the processor, a presence of a second handwriting track set, wherein the second handwriting track set is inputted into the electronic device;
- determining, by the processor, a second character set according to the predetermined identifier, wherein the predetermined identifier is configured to indicate that the second character set is a numeric character set, a punctuation mark character set, or an English letter set;
- matching, by the processor, the second handwriting track set in the second character set;
- and
- displaying a second candidate character corresponding to the second handwriting track set in the candidate display area of the electronic device, wherein the second candidate character is characters in the second character set, wherein the second character set is a subset of the first character set.
An electronic device comprising:
- an input device;
- a processor configured to:
- detect, by the processor, a presence of a first handwriting track set, wherein the first handwriting track set comprises at least one track and is inputted into the electronic device;
- determine, by the processor, whether the first handwriting track set matches a predetermined identifier in a first character set;
- in a case that the first handwriting track set does not match the predetermined identifier in the first character set:
- display a first candidate character corresponding to the first handwriting track set in a candidate display area of the electronic device, the first candidate character is characters in the first character set;
- and
- in a case that the first handwriting track set matches the predetermined identifier in the first character:
- detect, by the processor, a presence of a second handwriting track set, wherein the second handwriting track set is inputted into the electronic device;
- determine, by the processor, a second character set according to the predetermined identifier, wherein the predetermined identifier is configured to identify that the second character set is a numeric character set, a punctuation mark character set or an English letter set;
- match, by the processor, the second handwriting track set in the second character set;
- and
- display a second candidate character corresponding to the second handwriting track set in the candidate display area of the electronic device, the second candidate character is characters in the second character set, wherein the second character set is a subset of the first character set.
