Method and apparatus for displaying textual input of terminal device, and terminal device

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for displaying textual input of a terminal device, and a terminal device, so as to resolve prior-art problems that in a one-hand mode, a display area is reduced, operation difficulty is increased, a display manner is undiversified and inflexible, and user experience is reduced. The method is: the terminal device calculates a selection frequency at which each candidate area is selected in specified duration, uses, as an average delay value, an average value of delay values obtained when each candidate area is selected, and after the specified duration, adjusts, according to the obtained selection frequency and the obtained average delay value of each candidate area, a correspondence between each candidate area in each candidate area and a candidate-word display priority. In this way, according to an operation habit of a user for selecting each candidate area when using the terminal device, a candidate word displayed in the candidate area can be dynamically adjusted, so that an entering speed is optimized, a display area does not need to be reduced, a display manner is flexible, and user experience is improved.
