ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING CHARACTER
First Claim
1. A character correcting method for an electronic device, the method comprising:
- displaying a virtual keyboard on a display device of the electronic device, wherein the virtual keyboard comprises a plurality of character keys;
outputting, at the electronic device, a character corresponding to one of the plurality of character keys, according to touch signals generated when the one of the plurality of character keys is touched;
determining, at the electronic device, the outputted character to be a wrong character, when a delete key on the virtual keyboard is touched, wherein a character key that corresponds to the wrong character is defined to be a wrong character key;
determining, at the electronic device, a plurality of candidate keys according to a position of the wrong character key on the virtual keyboard;
generating, at the display device, a window and displaying the candidate keys on the window; and
replacing, at the display device, the wrong character with a character corresponding to one of the candidate keys touched on the window.

Abstract
A character correcting method using an electronic device includes displaying a virtual keyboard that includes a plurality of character keys on a display device. A character corresponds to one of the plurality of character keys is outputted. A wrong character is determined when a delete key on the virtual keyboard is touched. Multiple candidate keys are determined according to a position of a character key that corresponds to the wrong character on the virtual keyboard. The candidate keys are displayed on a generated window. Once one of the candidate keys on the window is touched, the wrong character is replaced with a character that corresponds to the one of the candidate keys.
