All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Method embodiment

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of an embodiment of a text processing method according to the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

step 101, responding to a trigger operation to determine a target text;

102, receiving a first sliding operation, wherein the first sliding operation is a sliding operation along a first direction in a preset sliding area;

step 103, determining a selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text according to the range of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relationship between the range of the target text and the range of the preset sliding area.

The text processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment refers to equipment capable of performing man-machine interaction through a touch display screen. The user can operate the touch display screen of the terminal device through the target object, so that the terminal device executes a specific function, and the terminal device can also display a user interface through the touch display screen. The terminal devices include but are not limited to: the system comprises a household intelligent terminal (comprising an air conditioner, a refrigerator, an electric cooker, a water heater and the like), a business intelligent terminal (comprising a video telephone, a conference desktop intelligent terminal and the like), a wearable device (comprising an intelligent watch, intelligent glasses and the like), a financial intelligent terminal, a smart phone, a tablet personal computer (PDA), a vehicle-mounted device, a computer and the like.

The target object is an object that can be detected and located by the touch display screen when approaching or contacting the touch display screen of the terminal device, for example, a human body (e.g., a human finger), a stylus, and other common manual input tools.

During the process of inputting text in the terminal device, the user may need to perform various operation processes on the text information that has been input or is being input, such as text operations of deleting, copying, cutting, translating, and the like. The text processing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can provide a more convenient text operation process for the user, so that the operation cost of the user is reduced, and the input efficiency of the user is improved.

The embodiment of the present invention may be applicable to various input modes, for example, the input modes may specifically include a keyboard symbol input mode or a handwritten information input mode, and the like, that is, a user may input text information in a terminal device in a mode of inputting a code character string through a keyboard or in a mode of inputting handwritten information in a handwritten area. In the following, only the input method of a code string (hereinafter, simply referred to as an input string) will be described as an example, and other input methods may be referred to each other.

The keyboard may be any physical or virtual keyboard including, but not limited to, a QWERTY full keyboard, a general cell phone keyboard (keypad), an alphabetical full keyboard, and a virtual keyboard of any custom layout.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a scene of inputting text information to the terminal device through the keyboard is not limited. For example, the input scenario includes, but is not limited to, inputting instant messaging information in an input box of an instant messaging application, comment information input in a comment area of a social application, a query term input in a search box, and the like.

During the process of inputting text in the terminal device, the user may need to perform various operation processes on the text information that has been input or is being input, such as text operations of deleting, copying, cutting, translating, and the like. The embodiment of the invention can receive the triggering operation of the user on the preset key in the terminal equipment, and the user can be considered to have the intention of executing the preset text operation when the triggering operation on the preset key is received.

The preset key may be a preset key in the virtual keyboard, or the preset key may also be a preset floating button or the like. The preset key is used for triggering the terminal device to execute the preset text operation, and the specific form of the preset key is not limited in the embodiment of the invention.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the preset text operation includes, but is not limited to, any one of a delete operation, a copy operation, a cut operation, and a translate operation. For convenience of description, the deletion operation is mainly used as an example in the embodiment of the present invention, and the processes of other types of text operations are similar and may be referred to each other.

Taking the preset operation as the delete operation as an example, the preset key may be set as a delete key in the virtual keyboard. When a trigger operation of a user on a deletion key in the virtual keyboard is received, the user can be considered to have an operation intention of executing text deletion.

The triggering operation may be a touch operation, and the touch operation may be implemented by approaching or contacting a target object with a touch display screen of the terminal device. For example, when the user touches the position of the preset key in the touch display screen through the target object, that is, the target object performs a touch operation on the preset key. Therefore, it can be understood that the touch operation of the target object on the preset key is not a direct operation of the target object on the preset key, but the target object is touched to the area of the position displayed by the preset key through the touch display screen. In one example, the touch operation may include: clicking (including single clicking, double clicking, three continuous clicking) operation, long-time pressing operation, sliding operation and the like.

After receiving a trigger operation on a preset key, the terminal equipment responds to the trigger operation and determines a target text in a display interface of the terminal equipment. The target text refers to a text of a display interface of the terminal device, wherein the preset text operation is to be executed.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the determining the target text in response to the trigger operation may include:

responding to a trigger operation, and determining that an input string is a target text under the condition that the input string exists; or, under the condition that an input string exists, determining the input string and a candidate item corresponding to the input string as target texts; alternatively, in the case where there is no input string but there is already on-screen text, the already-screen text before the cursor is determined to be the target text.

Wherein, the input string refers to the code character string input by the user through the keyboard. Taking the Chinese input method as an example, the input string may be a pinyin string. The input method program generates candidate items corresponding to the input strings by matching the lexicon, and the candidate items are displayed at the relevant positions of the input strings (such as the lower part of the input strings), and a plurality of candidate items can be provided for the user to select to go to the screen.

In practical applications, the input string and the candidate are text contents which are not displayed on the screen, which indicates that the user is currently performing the operation of inputting the text, and the candidate exists only when the input string exists. Therefore, after receiving the trigger operation on the preset key, the embodiment of the present invention may first determine whether an input string exists in the display interface of the terminal device, and if so, it indicates that the user is performing an operation of inputting a text, and in the input process, it may be necessary to perform operation processing such as deleting a text content that is currently being input but is not already on the screen. At this time, the input string may be the target text. Further, in the case that an input string exists in a display interface of the terminal device, the input string and a candidate corresponding to the input string may be determined as target texts, and a preset text operation is performed at the same time, such as deletion at the same time.

And if the input string does not exist in the display interface of the terminal equipment but the on-screen text exists, the user is indicated to perform on-screen operation on the input string. In this case, the displayed text before the cursor may be determined as the target text, and a preset text operation may be performed on the displayed text.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific manner of determining the target text. The target text can be any text in the current display interface of the mobile terminal. For example, an input string being entered by a user via a keyboard, a candidate corresponding to the input string, a text already on screen, etc. That is, the target text may be a part of text specified in the current display interface of the mobile terminal, or the target text may also be all text in the current display interface of the mobile terminal. The displayed text can be the text in the input box, the text in the text processing file, and the like in any input scene.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the determining that the on-screen text before the cursor is the target text may include: and determining the current paragraph text in which the cursor is positioned as a target text in the on-screen text before the cursor.

If the on-screen text in front of the cursor comprises a plurality of paragraphs, the current paragraph text in which the cursor is located can be determined as the target text. Of course, it may also be determined that all the on-screen text before the cursor is the target text. The method specifically determines which paragraph text or paragraphs of texts are the target text, and can be set according to actual needs. In the embodiment of the present invention, a current paragraph text before a cursor is taken as an example of a target text for explanation.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, before receiving the triggering operation on the preset key, the terminal device may further receive a moving operation of a cursor, so as to move the cursor to an end of a target text where a text operation needs to be performed. Therefore, after the terminal device receives the triggering operation of the preset key, the current paragraph text in front of the cursor can be determined as the target text.

After receiving a triggering operation on a preset key, if a first sliding operation in a preset sliding area is received, the terminal equipment determines a selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text according to the range of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relation between the range of the target text and the range of the preset sliding area. The first sliding operation is a sliding operation in a first direction in the preset sliding region.

The preset sliding area is a designated area in a touch display screen of the terminal device, and it can be understood that the shape, size and range of the preset sliding area are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. In one example, the preset sliding area may be a virtual keyboard area displayed in the touch display screen. Because the user may need to perform the preset text operation in the process of inputting the text, the preset sliding region is set as the virtual keyboard region, and the user can execute the first sliding operation in the process of inputting the text in the virtual keyboard region, so that the difficulty of the user operation can be reduced, the convenience of the user operation can be improved, and the efficiency of text processing can be further improved. Of course, the preset sliding region may be any designated region in the touch display screen, or the preset sliding region may also be the entire screen region of the touch display screen.

The first sliding operation is a sliding operation in a first direction in the preset sliding area, and the first sliding operation is used for further selecting text content needing to be processed in the target text. For example, after receiving a triggering operation on a preset key, the terminal device determines that a current paragraph text before a cursor is a target text. After receiving the first sliding operation, according to the corresponding relationship between the range of the target text and the range of the preset sliding area, the range of the text content corresponding to the range of the first sliding operation in the target text may be determined, that is, the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text is determined.

It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the first direction. In one example, in order to conform to most user operation habits on the terminal device, for example, the user usually inputs texts from left to right, and therefore, the first direction may be set to be a horizontal right-to-left direction, that is, the continuous selection is performed from the latest input text content to the front. Further, the starting point of the first sliding operation may be a preset key, and after the user performs the trigger operation on the preset key, the user may continuously press the preset key to directly perform the first sliding operation in the horizontal right-to-left direction, where the sliding range represents the range of the selected text.

It is understood that the first direction is a direction from right to left in the horizontal direction, and is only an application example of the present invention. The first direction may be set according to actual needs, for example, the first direction may also be a horizontal direction from left to right, a vertical direction from top to bottom, a vertical direction from bottom to top, a horizontal direction first and then a vertical direction, a vertical direction first and then a horizontal direction, and the like.

In the embodiment of the invention, the selected text of the text operation to be executed can be obtained by using less operations and shorter time by directly executing the sliding operation after the triggering operation is executed on the preset key. In addition, the starting point of the selected text can be determined while the trigger operation is executed on the preset key, so that the operation that a user manually clicks a specific position to be processed can be avoided, and the operation steps of the user can be reduced. In addition, the embodiment of the invention changes the click operation which is difficult to execute into the sliding operation which is easy to execute, thereby reducing the operation difficulty of the user and improving the convenience of the user operation.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the determining, according to the range of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relationship between the range of the target text and the range of the preset sliding region, a selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text includes:

determining a corresponding selected text in the target text by the first sliding operation according to the length of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relation between the length of the target text and the length of the preset sliding area; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

and determining the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text according to the area of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relation between the area of the target text and the area of the preset sliding region.

It is to be understood that the embodiments of the invention are not limited to the particular types of ranges described. For example, the range may be a length or an area of a region, etc.

Further, taking the range as the length as an example, after receiving the triggering operation of the preset key, the terminal device may calculate a correspondence between the length of the preset sliding region and the length of the target text. In this way, after the first sliding operation is received, the length of the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the length of the preset sliding area and the length of the target text and the length of the first sliding operation.

It is understood that, for different scenes of the preset sliding region, the process of calculating the correspondence between the length of the preset sliding region and the length of the target text may be different.

For example, in the case where the preset slide area is a virtual keyboard area, the length of the virtual keyboard area in the horizontal direction may be assumed to be L1 as the length of the preset slide area. The length of the target text can be counted according to the number of characters contained in the target text, and assuming that the target text contains n characters, the length of the target text can be recorded as n.

In one example, the correspondence between the length of the preset sliding region and the length of the target text may be represented by the following formula: and n/L1, which represents the number of characters of the target text contained in the unit length of the preset sliding area. Assuming that the length of the first sliding operation is L2, according to the correspondence between the length of the preset sliding region and the length of the target text and the length of the first sliding operation, it may be determined that the length of the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text is: (n/L1) × L2.

It is understood that, in practical applications, during the execution of the first sliding operation, since the position of the target object may change in real time when the target object slides on the touch display screen of the terminal device, the length L2 of the first sliding operation may change in real time. In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the determining, according to the length of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relationship between the length of the target text and the length of the preset sliding region, that the first sliding operation precedes a corresponding selected text in the target text, may further include:

step S11, when receiving the first sliding operation, recording a starting position of the first sliding operation, and in a process of executing the first sliding operation, recording a current position of the first sliding operation as an end position;

step S12, determining the length of the first sliding operation according to the starting point position and the end point position;

step S13, detecting whether the first sliding operation satisfies a preset end condition in real time, if the first sliding operation does not satisfy the preset end condition and the current position of the first sliding operation changes, updating the end point position according to the current position of the first sliding operation, and updating the length of the first sliding operation according to the updated end point position.

The length of the first sliding operation may be a horizontal distance between a start point position and an end point position of the first sliding operation. Optionally, the starting position of the first sliding operation may be a position corresponding to a triggering operation on a preset key, that is, a position of the preset key. That is, after the user performs the trigger operation on the preset key, the first sliding operation may be directly performed, so as to obtain the selected text of the text operation to be performed with less operations and in a shorter time.

After receiving a first sliding operation with a trigger operation of a preset key as a starting point, recording a position of the preset key as a starting point position of the first sliding operation, recording a current position of the first sliding operation as an end point position in an execution process of the first sliding operation, and determining a length of the first sliding operation according to the starting point position and the end point position. In the execution process of the first sliding operation, the embodiment of the invention calculates the length of the first sliding operation in real time.

And in the execution process of the first sliding operation, detecting whether the first sliding operation meets a preset end condition in real time, if not, updating the end position of the first sliding operation according to the current position of the first sliding operation, and updating the length of the first sliding operation according to the updated end position of the first sliding operation and the recorded starting position of the first sliding operation.

The preset end condition is used to indicate that the first sliding operation is completed, and for example, a preset distance from the target object to the touch display screen of the terminal device may be used as the end condition. The preset distance is an effective distance at which the target object can perform touch operation on the touch display screen, and when the distance between the target object and the touch display screen is greater than the preset distance, the target object cannot perform touch operation on the touch display screen any more, and at this time, it can be considered that the first sliding operation is performed completely.

In a case that it is detected that the first sliding operation does not satisfy the preset end condition, indicating that the first sliding operation is still being continuously executed and is not yet ended, it may be detected whether a current position of the first sliding operation is changed, and if so, the end position of the first sliding operation is updated according to the current position of the first sliding operation, and the length of the first sliding operation is updated according to the updated end position of the first sliding operation and the recorded start position of the first sliding operation. Therefore, in the execution process of the first sliding operation, the length of the first sliding operation is calculated in real time according to the range change of the first sliding operation, the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation can be determined according to the length of the first sliding operation which changes in real time, and the selected text is displayed in a distinguishing manner, so that a user can intuitively know which text contents are selected by the currently executed first sliding operation.

It can be understood that the above-mentioned manner of calculating the proportional relationship between the length of the preset sliding region and the length of the target text and calculating the length of the selected text is only an application example of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific calculation manner.

Under the condition that the range is the area, after receiving the triggering operation of the preset key, the terminal device may calculate a corresponding relationship between the area of the preset sliding area and the area of the target text. In this way, after the first sliding operation is received, the area of the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the area of the preset sliding area and the area of the target text and the area of the first sliding operation.

For example, in the case where the preset slide region is the virtual keyboard region, the region area of the virtual keyboard region may be denoted as S1. The length of the target text may be counted according to the number of characters included in the area of the region corresponding to the target text, and assuming that the area of the region corresponding to the target text includes n characters, the area of the region of the target text may be denoted as n.

In one example, the correspondence between the area of the preset sliding region and the area of the target text may be represented by the following formula: and n/S1, which represents the number of characters of the target text contained in the unit area of the preset sliding area. Assuming that the area of the first sliding operation is S2, according to the corresponding relationship between the area of the preset sliding region and the area of the target text and the area of the first sliding operation, it may be determined that the area of the region of the selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text is: (n/S1) S2.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the range is mainly described as an example, and when the range is an area, the process of determining the corresponding selected text in the target text by the first sliding operation is similar, and the process may be referred to each other.

step S21, determining at least one line of text corresponding to the range of the first sliding operation in the target text according to the corresponding relation between the range of the target text and the range of the preset sliding area;

and step S22, determining the at least one line of text as the corresponding selected text in the target text by the first sliding operation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, according to a corresponding relationship between the length or the area of the target text and the length or the area of the preset sliding region, at least one line of text corresponding to the length or the area of the first sliding operation in the target text may be determined, and then the at least one line of text may be determined as a selected text corresponding to the first sliding operation in the target text.

Under the condition that the target text contains multiple lines of texts, the embodiment of the invention can quickly select the multiple lines of texts through the first sliding operation, so that the efficiency of text selection can be improved, and the efficiency of text processing can be further improved.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the first sliding operation is performed on the corresponding selected text in the target text, the method may further include:

and executing a preset text operation on the selected text under the condition that the first sliding operation is detected to meet a preset ending condition.

Under the condition that the first sliding operation is detected to meet a preset ending condition, for example, when a finger (or a touch pen, etc.) of a user is detected to leave a preset distance from a touch display screen of the terminal device, a preset text operation may be performed on the selected text. For example, selected text in the target text is deleted.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after determining, according to the range of the first sliding operation and the corresponding relationship between the range of the target text and the range of the preset sliding region, that the first sliding operation is on the corresponding selected text in the target text, the method may further include:

step S31, receiving a second sliding operation, where the second sliding operation is a sliding operation in a second direction in the preset sliding area, and the second direction is different from the first direction;

step S32, determining a cancel text corresponding to the second sliding operation in the selected text according to the range of the second sliding operation and the corresponding relationship, and taking the remaining text in the selected text except the cancel text as the selected text.

In the specific implementation, a user may select more than one text during the first sliding operation, and at this time, if the user finishes the first sliding operation, the user needs to re-input more deleted texts, which brings inconvenience to the user operation. To solve the problem, an embodiment of the present invention may provide a second sliding operation, where the second sliding operation is a sliding operation in a second direction in a preset sliding area of the terminal device, and the second sliding operation may be used to cancel part or all of the selected text. Specifically, if a user selects a part of text more than necessary during the first sliding operation, the user may perform a second sliding operation to cancel a part or all of the text in the selected text while maintaining the touch operation.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a process of determining to cancel a text is similar to a process of determining to select a text, a starting point position of a second sliding operation may be recorded when the second sliding operation is received, and a corresponding cancel text of the second sliding operation in the selected text is determined according to a range of the second sliding operation and a correspondence between a range of the target text and a range of the preset sliding area. The second direction is different from the first direction, and further, in order to improve convenience of user operation, the second direction may be a direction opposite to the first direction. For example, the first direction is a horizontal right-to-left direction, and the second direction is a horizontal left-to-right direction. In the process of executing the first sliding operation, if the text content is selected more, the second sliding operation is executed from the current position of the first sliding operation in the opposite direction, namely, part or all of the text in the selected text can be cancelled. Therefore, the condition of re-input during the error deletion can be avoided, and the input efficiency of the user can be improved.

It is understood that the second direction is a direction from left to right in the horizontal direction, which is only an application example of the present invention, and the second direction can be set according to actual needs.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, after determining that the first sliding operation is performed on the corresponding selected text in the target text, the method may further include: and in the target text, the selected text is displayed in a distinguishing way, so that the user can intuitively know which text contents are selected. If a part of texts are selected more, the second sliding operation can be directly executed, and the embodiment of the invention can cancel the differential display of the cancel texts corresponding to the second sliding operation and only perform the differential display of the final selected texts. It is understood that, during the execution of the first sliding operation, the selected text may change as the range of the first sliding operation changes. Or, in the execution process of the second sliding operation, the cancel text may change along with the change of the range of the second sliding operation, thereby causing the change of the selected text. The embodiment of the invention displays the currently selected text in a distinguishing way according to the real-time change of the selected text.

In an optional embodiment of the invention, the method may further comprise:

step S41, displaying a preset menu, wherein different menu items in the preset menu correspond to different text operations;

step S42, receiving selection operation of menu items in the preset menu;

the executing a preset text operation on the selected text may include: and executing the text operation corresponding to the menu item selected by the selection operation on the selected text.

In practical applications, preset keys in the terminal device may be used to trigger a single text operation function. For example, for triggering a delete operation, or for triggering a copy operation, etc.

Optionally, preset keys in the terminal device may also be used to trigger various text-manipulation functions. After receiving the triggering operation of the preset key, the mobile terminal can display a preset menu, wherein different menu items in the preset menu correspond to different text operations. For example, the preset menu includes a menu item for triggering a delete operation, a menu item for triggering a copy operation, a menu item for triggering a cut operation, a menu item for triggering a translate operation, and the like.

After a preset menu is displayed, a selection operation on a menu item in the preset menu may be received, and then after a selected text is determined and it is determined that a first sliding operation satisfies a preset end condition, a text operation corresponding to the menu item selected by the selection operation may be performed on the selected text.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the preset key may be a delete key, and when it is detected that the delete key is continuously clicked within a preset time, a prompt message may be displayed, where the prompt message is used to prompt a user to perform a first sliding operation, so as to quickly select text content to be deleted through the first sliding operation.

In practical application, if it is detected that the deletion key is continuously clicked within a preset time, which indicates that the user may delete the text content by clicking the deletion key multiple times, the prompt message may be displayed to prompt the user to quickly select the text content to be deleted through the first sliding operation.
