ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INPUTTING CHARACTERS USING THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A method for inputting characters into an electronic device by receiving proximity signals from proximity sensors. The proximity sensors include a first proximity sensor and at least one proximity sensor. Predetermined character types are displayed on the display device after enabling the proximity sensors. A character type from the predetermined character types is selected by receiving a proximity signal from the first proximity sensor, and a predetermined number of characters of the selected character type are displayed on the display device. Then, a character of the selected character type is input into the electronic device after receiving a proximity signal from the second proximity sensor.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
proximity sensors comprising a first proximity sensor and at least one second proximity sensor; at least one processor coupled to the proximity sensors; a display device coupled to the at least one processor; and a storage device coupled to the at least one processor; wherein the storage device stores one or more programs, executable by the at least one processor, to cause the at least one processor to: enable the proximity sensors; display predetermined character types on the display device; select a character type from the predetermined character types by receiving a proximity signal from the first proximity sensor; display a predetermined number of characters of the selected character type on the display device; and input a character of the selected character type after receiving a proximity signal from the second proximity sensor.
