At present, regardless of whether it is a single-screen display or a multi-screen display smart terminal, the operation and text input are performed on the face-to-face touch screen corresponding to the single-sided display. The input methods usually include keyboard input and handwriting input. Keyboard input is less efficient because it supports multi-finger operations. high. Common keyboard input includes: full-key input (as shown in FIG. 1 ), nine-key input arrangement (as shown in FIG. 2 ). The layout of keyboard input is usually fixed and does not adjust with the difference of the user's hands.

However, the existing input methods have the following problems:

When using full keyboard and nine-key input, the area for displaying content is not large enough. Only half the size of the screen, or even smaller, making it inconvenient to check or read. As shown in FIG. 3 , more than 60% of the display window of the chat content is covered by the input virtual keyboard, so that the area for displaying the content is very small.

Mobile terminals are usually small in size, most of which are below 6 inches. In order to provide more content display area, the virtual keyboard is arranged compactly and densely. Especially in the case of full keys, the keys are smaller than fingers and cannot be operated by multiple fingers at the same time. It is usually operated with one finger or two fingers, and the input with more fingers is slower.

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Embodiment one

An embodiment of the present invention provides an input method, which is applied to a smart terminal with front and back touch screens. As shown in FIG. 4 , it is a stacked three views of the smart terminal. It can be seen from the figure that the There are display screens on the front and back sides, and the two display screens can be one high-definition/one low-profile, or both are configured with the same specification to achieve no difference in display. And the two display screens are equipped with touch operation panels, which support the touch operation mode.

Specifically, the input method described in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, includes the following processing steps:

Step S501, dividing the keys of the virtual keyboard into two groups;

Step S502, assigning the divided two groups of keys to the front and back touch screens respectively;

Step S503, collect the input information of the front and back touch keys of the display screen, and respond to the input information.

It can be seen that the method described in this embodiment maximizes the display content area by arranging the keys of the virtual keyboard on the two touch display screens, which can reach 80% or even higher. This improves the user's preview and review experience for global typing content.

Based on the above principles, several specific and preferred embodiments are given below to refine and optimize the functions of the method of the present invention, so as to make the implementation of the solution of the present invention more convenient and accurate. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the following features can be combined with each other arbitrarily.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the virtual keyboard refers to a keyboard that is displayed on the screen and can be triggered by touch.

In an embodiment of the present invention, dividing the keys of the virtual keyboard into two groups specifically includes: dividing the keys of the virtual keyboard into main operation keys and auxiliary operation keys according to the frequency of use of the keys.

Preferably, when allocating two groups of keys, the main operation keys are allocated to the touch display screen on one side of displaying content, and the auxiliary operation keys are allocated to the touch display screen on the other side.

Wherein, the main operation key refers to a key frequently used by the user when inputting; for example, a key for inputting necessary pinyin letters, a delete key, and the like. Correspondingly, the secondary operation key refers to a key that is used relatively infrequently when the user inputs. In order to make the solution of the present invention more humanized, an interface can be provided for the user, so that the user can set the main operation key and the auxiliary operation key according to his own usage habits.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the input mode can be set, and the number and size of the main operation keys corresponding to different input modes are different. For example, some users only want to increase the area of the displayed content, and some users want The area to display the content is enlarged, and the button should not be too small. Then the above two requirements can correspond to two input modes. When the user selects the input mode for the first case above, it is only necessary to arrange some keys on the display screen on the back. And when the user selects the input mode for the above-mentioned second case, compared with the input mode of the first case, this mode will reduce the number of main operation keys, arrange the reduced part to the back, and increase the number of each main operation key. Action keys are sized so that they are easy to read and touch.

In yet another embodiment of the present invention, when arranging the auxiliary operation keys on the touch screen, it specifically includes: obtaining the set display position of the auxiliary operation keys, and assigning the auxiliary operation keys to all the touch screens on the other side. at the above display position.

In this embodiment, the set display position of the auxiliary operation key can be the default display position of the system. More preferably, a setting interface is provided for the user, and the user can set a specific display position according to the size of his hand or the gripping habit .

In this embodiment, the display position is preferably the support point position when the user's fingers hold the smart terminal, so that multi-finger input can be realized and input efficiency can be improved.

When the display position is the position of the user's touch point, in order to realize convenient multi-finger input, the number of auxiliary operation keys is preferably less than or equal to 8.

In order to illustrate the present invention more clearly, the implementation process of the method of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with two specific application examples.

Application example 1: For nine-key input virtual keyboard layout;

Based on the above stacked frame of double-sided display + double-sided touch display, 12 main operation keys are distributed on one side of the display content, and 8 auxiliary operation keys are distributed on the back. The specific layout is shown in Figure 6, which can ensure that the displayed content occupies 80% of the screen, or even higher.

Specifically, the nine-key input virtual keyboard, the 12-key keyboard on the content display side includes the main key for nine-key input, and the remaining ones can be used as common symbol keys, Enter keyboard, and delete keyboard. The 8 keys on the back can be automatically supplemented as other symbol keys or frequently used keys.

Further, in order to speed up the input, the character input keyboard of the virtual keyboard on the side of the display content can be arranged in a 9-key layout, which increases the area of a single key and improves the accuracy and efficiency of typing. Other commonly used symbols and operation keys are all defined later The specific layout of the 8 buttons is shown in Figure 7.

Application example 2: virtual keyboard layout for full-key input;

Based on the stacking frame of double-sided display + double-sided touch screen above, all character keys, commonly used ENTER, and delete keys are distributed on the side of the display content, a total of 28 keys, and 8 keys are distributed on the back, and the 8 keys on the back can be used as common symbol keys or action keys, the specific layout is shown in Figure 8.

Under the above double-sided button layout, the way for the user to implement input is:

For the virtual keys on the touch display screen on one side of the display content, the keys can be typed by two thumbs, and pressing or lightly touching the virtual keys in a conventional way is the keying.

For the 8 virtual keys on the touch screen on the non-display content side, the corresponding 8 fingers can be placed in the corresponding positions, which can play a role in entrusting the terminal. At the same time, when a corresponding input or action needs to be activated When you release the corresponding finger, you can perform the corresponding operation, so as to enter symbols or perform actions. Because the fingers are released in turn, there will be 7 fingers entrusted to the mobile phone at any time, which plays a role in maintaining the balance of the terminal.

Among them, for the display content side, the two thumbs can be shifted for operation, and the fingers do not have the problem of adapting to the keyboard. While performing keying operations on the rear panel, the terminal needs to be supported by 7 fingers, and the fingers need to be relatively fixed in a certain area to bring the terminal to a stable handheld state.

Because the size of the palm and the length of the fingers are inconsistent, the width of the fingers that can be spread is also inconsistent. When the user starts the double-sided fast input method for the first time, he can customize the relative positions of the 8 buttons on the rear panel, so that the user can Optimization 10 refers to the comfort and efficiency of fast typing to improve the user's input experience. As shown in FIG. 9 , it is a schematic diagram of adapting a keyboard layout corresponding to a larger hand to a keyboard layout of a smaller hand.
