Abstract

A method for text editing is provided. The method includes steps: displaying a text file on a touch display screen; displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file; determining selected text in response to a text selection touch operation; generating parameters representative of the selected text in response to the text selection touch operation; copying the parameters to the clipboard and displaying the parameters on the displayed clipboard in response to a use'"'"'s first loading operation; finding the text in the text file according to the selected parameters displayed on the displayed clipboard in response to a user'"'"'s parameter selection operation; and copying the found text from the text file to an intended location in response to a user'"'"'s second loading operation. A related text editing system is also provided.

Claims

1. A text editing system comprising:

a touch display screen configured for displaying a text file, the touch display screen configured for determining a selected text in response to a text selection touch operation, the touch display screen configured for further displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file in response to a predetermined gesture;

a text selection determining module configured for generating parameters representative of the selected text in response to the text selection touch operation;

a first loading module configured for copying the parameters to the clipboard and controlling the touch display screen to display the parameters on the clipboard in response to a user'"'"'s first loading operation;

a text searching module configured for finding the text in the text file according to selected parameters displayed on the clipboard in response to a user'"'"'s parameter selection operation; and

a second loading module configured for copying the found text from the text file to an intended location in response to a user'"'"'s second loading operation.

2. The system as described in claim 1, wherein the selected text includes a plurality of discrete selected text sections, and the parameters include a plurality of parameter units each representative of the corresponding selected text section.

3. The system as described in claim 2, wherein each parameter unit includes:

a first character of the selected text section, a last character of the selected text section, a serial number, and the amount of the characters of the selected text section.

4. The system as described in claim 1, further comprising a text deleting module configured for deleting the selected parameters in the clipboard in response to a user'"'"'s second loading operation.

5. A method for text editing, the method comprising:

displaying a text file on a touch display screen;

displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file;

determining selected text in response to a text selection touch operation;

generating parameters representative of the selected text in response to the text selection touch operation;

copying the parameters to the clipboard and displaying the parameters on the displayed clipboard in response to a user'"'"'s first loading operation;

finding the text associated with selected parameters displayed on the displayed clipboard in the text file in response to a user'"'"'s parameter selection operation; and

copying the found text from the text file to an intended location in response to a user'"'"'s second loading operation.

6. The method as described in claim 5, wherein the selected text includes a plurality of discrete selected text sections, and the parameters include a plurality of parameter units each representative of the corresponding selected text section.

7. The method as described in claim 6, wherein the displayed parameter units are arranged in a sequence corresponding to the sequence of selecting the text sections.

8. The method as described in claim 6, wherein each parameter unit includes a first character of the selected text section, a last character of the selected text section, a serial number, and the amount of the characters of the selected text section.

9. A method for text editing, the method comprising:

displaying a text file on a touch display screen;

displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file;

detecting text selection touch operations on the displayed text file by a user to determine text sections selected by the user;

generating a plurality of parameter units each representative of the corresponding text section in response to the respective text selection touch operations;

copying the parameter units to the clipboard and displaying the parameter units on the displayed clipboard in response to a use'"'"'s first loading operation;

detecting parameter selection touch operations on the displayed clipboard by a user to determine the parameter units selected by the user;

finding the text sections in the text file according to the selected parameter units displayed on the displayed clipboard in response to a user'"'"'s parameter selection operation; and

copying the found text sections from the text file to an intended location in response to a user'"'"'s second loading operation.

10. The method as described in claim 9, wherein the found text sections are arranged in a sequence corresponding to the sequence of selecting the parameter units.
