Abstract

A method and apparatus for implementing a floating input, including: acquiring position information of an input box on a screen and resolution of the screen; and determining a default pop-up position of an input method panel on the screen according to the acquired position information and resolution. A user misoperation is avoided while the input box is not sheltered by the input method panel, thereby improving the user experience.

First claim

1 . A method for implementing a floating input, comprising:
acquiring position information of an input box on a screen of a mobile terminal; and determining a default pop-up position of an input method panel on the screen according to the acquired position information.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, determining a default pop-up position of an input method panel on the screen according to the acquired position information comprises:
comparing the acquired position information and a preset value, and determining the default pop-up position of the input method panel on the screen according to a comparison result.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the acquired position information is one or more of top-left corner coordinates, top-right corner coordinates, bottom-left corner coordinates and bottom-right corner coordinates of the input box.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein, when that a mode of the screen is a vertical screen mode is determined, a top-left corner or a top-right corner of the screen is taken as an origin of coordinates, and determining a default pop-up position of an input method panel on the screen according to the acquired position information comprises:
determining that a vertical coordinate in the top-left corner coordinates or the top-right corner coordinates is greater than or equal to a half of a height of a resolution of the screen; determining that the default pop-up position is on a top half of the screen.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein, when that a vertical coordinate in the bottom-left corner coordinates or the bottom-right corner coordinates is less than or equal to a half of height of the resolution is determined, the method further comprises:
determining that the default pop-up position is on a bottom half of the screen.

6 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein, when that a mode of the screen is a horizontal screen mode is determined, a bottom-left corner or a top-left corner of the screen is taken as an origin of coordinates, and determining a default pop-up position of an input method panel on the screen according to the acquired position information comprises:
determining that a horizontal coordinate in the top-left corner coordinates or the bottom-left corner coordinates is greater than or equal to a half of a height of a resolution of the screen; determining that the default pop-up position is on a left half of the screen.

7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein, when that a horizontal coordinate in the top-right corner coordinates or the bottom-right corner coordinates is less than or equal to a half of the height of the resolution is determined, the method further comprises:
determining that the default pop-up position is on a right half of the screen.

8 . The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
increasing a height of a window in which the input box is located, and reducing a height of another window according to a same size.

9 . An apparatus for implementing a floating input, at least comprising:
an acquisition module, configured to acquire position information of an input box on a screen; and a determination module, configured to determine a default pop-up position of an input method panel on the screen according to the acquired position information.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein, the determination module is configured to:
compare the acquired position information and a preset value, and determine the default pop-up position of the input method panel on the screen according to a comparison result.

11 . The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein, the acquired position information is one or more of top-left corner coordinates, top-right corner coordinates, bottom-left corner coordinates and bottom-right corner coordinates of the input box.

12 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a judgment module, configured to determine that a mode of the screen is a vertical screen mode; the determination module being configured to, determine that a vertical coordinate in the top-left corner coordinates or the top-right corner coordinates is greater than or equal to a half of a height of a resolution of the screen, and determine that the default pop-up position is on a top half of the screen.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein, the determination module is further configured to,
determine that a vertical coordinate in the bottom-left corner coordinates or the bottom-right corner coordinates is less than or equal to a half of the height of the resolution, and determine that the default pop-up position is on a bottom half of the screen.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , further comprising:
a judgment module, configured to determine that a mode of the screen is a horizontal screen mode; the determination module being configured to, determine that a horizontal coordinate in the top-left corner coordinates or the bottom-left corner coordinates is greater than or equal to a half of a height of the resolution of the screen; and determine that the default pop-up position is on a left half of the screen.

15 . The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein, the determination module is further configured to,
determine that a horizontal coordinate in the top-right corner coordinates or the bottom-right corner coordinates is less than or equal to a half of the height of the resolution, and determine that the default pop-up position is on a right half of the screen.

16 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising:
an adjustment module, configured to, increase a height of a window in which the input box is located, and reduce a height of another window according to a same size.

17 . A computer storage medium, wherein, computer executable instructions are stored in the computer storage medium, and the computer executable instructions are set to execute the method for implementing a floating input according to claim 1 .

18 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
increasing a height of a window in which the input box is located, and reducing a height of another window according to a same size.

19 . The apparatus according to claim 13 , further comprising:
an adjustment module, configured to, increase a height of a window in which the input box is located, and reduce a height of another window according to a same size.

20 . A computer storage medium, wherein, computer executable instructions are stored in the computer storage medium, and the computer executable instructions are set to execute the method for implementing a floating input according to claim 2 .
