Input Method Applied in Electronic Devices
First Claim
1. An input method applicable for inputting into an electronic device having an image capturing unit, a processing module, a lip-reading analyzing unit, a lip motion code database, and a display module, and the input method comprising the steps of:
- capturing a lip motion of a person through the image capturing unit;
receiving an image of the lip motion from the image capturing unit;
encoding the lip motion image through the lip-reading analyzing unit to obtain a lip motion code;
the processing module comparing the lip motion code with a plurality of standard lip motion codes stored in the lip motion code database, to obtain a first text result matching the lip motion code; and
displaying the first text result through the display module if the first text result is obtained.

Abstract
An input method applicable for inputting into an electronic device, which includes the steps of capturing a lip motion of a person; receiving an image of the lip motion; encoding the lip motion image to obtain a lip motion code; comparing the lip motion code with a plurality of standard lip motion codes to obtain a first text result matching the lip motion code; and displaying the first text result on the electronic device if the first text result is obtained. If the first text result is not obtained, the method may further include activating an auxiliary analyzing mode for the electronic device for recognizing a facial expression, a hand gesture, or an audio signal to be inputted. The input method can diversify input methods for the electronic device.
