Fonts, to change and set the fonts of the input method and even the fonts of the system interface.

4A to 4D show schematic diagrams of changing display fonts of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4A , on the display interface 400 , the user needs to input characters by handwriting input method. After the user inputs in the writing area 402, the terminal recognizes the text input by the user, and displays the matching text in the input method display area 404 for the user to select.

After the user writes a character in the writing area 402, the terminal first analyzes the trajectory of the character to obtain its trajectory feature, and the trajectory feature corresponds to its font feature. Then, the terminal searches the obtained analysis results in the font library in the terminal or in the font library on the server to find a matching font.

As shown in Figure 4B, after the terminal finds the corresponding matching font, the font selection menu 406 is displayed on the display interface 400, which includes the font that the system thinks matches the font of the text written by the user, and according to the matching The size of the degree is arranged and selected by the user.

As shown in FIG. 4C, for example, if the user selects "Chinese Xingkai", the corresponding text is displayed in the input method display area 404. These texts are the matching text selected by the terminal after distinguishing the text written by the user. Simultaneously, their fonts have also been replaced with the fonts selected by the user, which are similar to the fonts of the characters written by the user in the writing area 402 .

Of course, it can be seen that in the system display area 408 on the display interface 400, for example, the "word" and "send" displayed after the user selects are still in the original font, and these similar texts that have not changed The "system text" belonging to the terminal does not belong to the input method display area 404, so the font has not been changed. Obviously, this part of the system text can also be changed, as shown in Figure 4D.

As shown in Figure 4D, on the display interface 400, the fonts of the input method display area 404, the system display area 408, and the system time "20:04" on the display interface 400 have all changed, and have been replaced with the writing area The 402 matches the font in the text.

The above describes the technical solution of the present invention in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Considering that in the related art, the process of modifying the text in the terminal is very cumbersome, therefore, the present invention provides a terminal and a method for changing fonts, so that Collect and analyze the fonts of the characters entered by the user, compare them with the font library or the font library in the cloud server, select a font that is similar to the user's handwritten font and elegant, or generate a custom font based on the trajectory information of the characters entered by the user Fonts, and the selected or generated fonts can be set as the display fonts of input information or interface display fonts, so that the input fonts and interface fonts are no longer monotonous, which meets the cool pursuit of young users, such as Martian, regular script, Official script, running script, cursive script, etc. are more personalized. In addition, this method of setting fonts is convenient and quick, and the user only needs to input characters in the input method interface, instead of operating in the application program, which improves the user experience.
