A computer-implemented method for authentication is provided. The method includes displaying, on a display device and while in a locked state, a set of color wheels, each color wheel having a plurality of segments with each segment being a different color. User input is received via an input device on the set of color wheels. The user input is converted to a string. The string is communicated to an authentication server. In response to communicating the string, a response is received from the authentication server and the response is processed.

User interface navigation on a personal electronics device based on movements of a crown is disclosed. The device can select an appropriate level of information arranged along a z-axis for display based on crown movement. The navigation can be based on an angular velocity of the crown.

An electronic device includes: a display; a memory storing an input pattern comprising a plurality of emojis; and a processor operatively connected to the display and the memory. The processor is configured to: display, in the display, a user interface comprising (i) an input field and (ii) a recommendation field comprising a plurality of recommendation areas; detect a first input that selects a first emoji from the plurality of emojis, the first emoji being displayed in a first recommendation area of the plurality of recommendation areas; output the first emoji to the input field based on the detected first input; and replace an item displayed in the first recommendation area with a second emoji subsequent to the first emoji in the input pattern.

A method and a device for adding an emoji, an apparatus and a storage medium are provided. When a second user replies to a target message with an emoji in a first session interface, the first user may trigger an emoji addition instruction for the emoji, and the emoji is added to an emoji input candidate box of the first user. With the method for adding the emoji according to embodiments, the emoji replied to the target message by the second user can be added to the emoji input candidate box of the first user, which can increase emojis in the emoji input candidate box of the first user, and meet the requirements of the first user sending various emojis.

A text entry method, a mobile device, a head-mounted display, and a storage medium are provided in implementations of the present disclosure. The mobile device has an operation interface, and the operation interface includes a keyboard area and a control area. The method includes the following. A first operation instruction is received at the keyboard area. At least one candidate text is displayed in the control area. A second operation instruction is received at the control area. A target text is determined from the at least one candidate text according to the second operation instruction, and the target text is transmitted to a text entry interface of a head-mounted display (HMD) for display.

The present disclosure relates to user interfaces for receiving user input. In some examples, a device determines which user input technique a user has accessed most recently, and displays the corresponding user interface. In some examples, a device scrolls through a set of information on the display. When a threshold criteria is satisfied, the device displays an index object fully or partially overlaying the set of information. In some examples, a device displays an emoji graphical object, which is visually manipulated based on user input. The emoji graphical object is transmitted to a recipient. In some examples, a device displays paging affordances that enlarge and allow a user to select a particular page of a user interface. In some examples, the device displays user interfaces for various input methods, including multiple emoji graphical objects. In some examples, a keyboard is displays for receiving user input.

An electronic device is described which has a user interface which receives an input comprising a sequence of target indicators of data items. The data entry system has a search component which searches for candidate expanded sequences of indicators comprising the target indicators. The search component searches amongst indicators generated by a trained conditional language model, the conditional language model having been trained using pairs, each individual pair comprising a sequence of indicators and a corresponding expanded sequence of indicators.

An input control method includes, in response to entering a first state, turning on a first mode, the first state being a state requiring input, and receiving first data sent by a first apparatus, the first data being data associated with the first mode.

A method includes displaying a user interface on a display of a client device. The user interface includes a virtual keyboard including characters arranged in rows and columns. The method also includes fixing a focus of a cursor displayed in the user interface to a first row or a first column in the virtual keyboard, responsive to receiving a first request to move the cursor in a first direction in the virtual keyboard, wrapping the one of the characters around the row or the column to a last row or a last column of the virtual keyboard to present another of the characters within the focus of the cursor, and responsive to receiving a second request to move the cursor in the virtual keyboard in a second direction, moving the focus of the cursor to a list of word suggestions.

Provided is a method for recommending emoticons using a custom keyword, the method including: receiving, by a user terminal, matching information in which a custom keyword is matched with at least one metadata, wherein the metadata is information on attributes of an emoticon; storing the matching information or transmitting the matching information to a server by the user terminal; receiving, by the user terminal, the custom keyword through a message input window; and displaying, by the user terminal, at least one emoticon related to the metadata.
