Abstract

An input text correcting method is applied to an electronic device. The method includes detecting whether a display is touched, recording sound generated by friction between a touching finger and the display when the display is being touched, comparing the recorded sound with the one or more standard sounds. Determining a touch operation on a touch area is an erasing operation and further determining display text in the touch area when the recorded sound matches the one or more standard sounds, and erasing the display text in the touch area. An electronic device for implementing the input text correcting method is also provided.

Claims

1. An input text correcting method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

detecting whether a display is touched;

recording sound generated by friction between a touching finger and the display when the display is being touched;

comparing the recorded sound with one or more standard sounds;

determining a touch operation on a touch area is an erasing operation and further determining display text in the touch area whether the recorded sound matches the one or more standard sounds; and

erasing the display text in the touch area.

2. The input text correcting method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

inputting new text in the touch area after erasing the display text.

3. The copyright protection method of audio files as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of determining a touch operation on a touch area is an erasing operation and further determines display text in the touch area whether the recorded sound is consisted with the one or more standard sounds further comprises:

determining a location of an intersection of two light paths which are blocked, and thereby determining the touch area which is covered by the erasing operation according to the locations of multi-intersections.

4. The copyright protection method of audio files as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more standard sounds is pre-stored in a memory.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electronic device further comprises a memory for supplying a space for data and the one or more standard sounds.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing module is further configured for inputting new text in the touch area after erasing the display text.

8. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the processing module is further configured for determining a location of an intersection of two light paths which are blocked, and thereby determining the touch area which is covered by the erasing operation according to the locations of multi-intersections.

9. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sound detecting module is installed in one corner of the display or any position around the display.

10. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the infrared sensing module is installed around the display.

11. The electronic device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the infrared sensing module comprises a plurality of infrared emitting devices and infrared receiving devices which are placed in pairs for detecting infrared light emitted by the light emitting devices, a linear array of light detecting devices is positioned on two adjacent sides of the display, each of the infrared receiving devices detects infrared light emitted from one of the light emitting devices which faces the paired infrared receiving device, thereby, a light path is formed between each pair of the infrared receiving device and corresponding infrared emitting device;

in parallel direction, all the light paths formed between the infrared emitting devices and corresponding infrared receiving devices are substantially parallel;

in vertical direction, all the light paths formed between the infrared emitting devices and infrared receiving devices placed in pairs are also substantially parallel.

5. An electronic device for implementing an input text correcting method, the electronic device comprising:

an infrared sensing module, for detecting whether a display is touched;

a sound detecting module, for recording sound generated by friction between a touching finger and the display when the display is being touched; and

a processing module, for comparing the recorded sound with one or more standard sounds, determining a touch operation on a touch area is an erasing operation and further determines display text in the touch area whether the recorded sound matches the one or more standard sounds; and

erasing the display text in the touch area.
