Electronic device and method for switching between text input assistants

An electronic device, comprising:

• an input device configured to receive a touch operation, the input device comprising a force sensor for sensing touch force of the touch operation and converting the touch force into a first electrical signal;
• a processor;
• and
• a storage device configured to store a preset table recording relationships between each touch force and each of different text input assistants and store one or more programs which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• calculate the touch force according to the first electrical signal;
• determine a text input assistant associated with a calculated touch force according to the preset table, thus resulting in a selected text input assistant;
• compare whether the selected text input assistant is the same as a current text input assistant for the electronic device;
• switch the current text input assistant to the selected text input assistant when the selected text input assistant is different from the current text input assistant;
• and
• display an input interface associated with the selected text input assistant.

A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to perform a method for switching input;

• the non-transitory storage medium storing a preset table recording relationships between each touch force of a touch operation on the input device and each of the different text input assistants;
• the method comprises:
• receiving a touch operation on an input device, the input device comprising a force sensor;
• generating, via the force sensor, a first electrical signal, the first electrical signal associated with a touch force of the touch operation;
• calculating the touch force according to the first electrical signal;
• determining a text input assistant associated with a calculated touch force according to the preset table, thus resulting in a selected text input assistant;
• determining whether the selected text input assistant way is the same as a current text input assistant for the electronic device;
• switching the current text input assistant to the selected text input assistant when the selected text input assistant is different from the current text input assistant;
• and
• displaying an input interface associated with the selected text input assistant.
