Method, device, and terminal device for extracting data
The present invention discloses a method and a device for extracting data from a touchscreen. One example method includes determining a pressing operation position on a touchscreen of a terminal device based on a pressing operation instruction received from a user; determining a data area from which data is to be extracted based on the pressing operation position; determining a data extraction rule for use in extracting the data from the data area, wherein the data extraction rule is based on a data type of the data to be extracted or based on attribute information of the data to be extracted; extracting data from the data area based on the determined data extraction rule; and displaying the extracted data on the touchscreen.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
determining a particular set of characters that are located in a region of a user interface that is associated with a user selection;
selecting, from among a single-byte data extraction rule and a double-byte data extraction rule, a data extraction rule for use as a highest priority data extraction rule in extracting a subset of the particular set of characters that are located in the region of the user interface that is associated with the user selection, comprising:
determining that the particular set of characters comprises both one or more double-byte characters and one or more single-byte characters;
counting a first amount of the one or more double-byte characters and counting a second amount of the one or more single-byte characters;
determining whether the first amount of the double-byte characters is larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters;
in response to determining that the first amount of the double-byte characters is larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters, selecting the double-byte data extraction rule as the highest priority data extraction rule; or
in response to determining that the first amount of the double-byte characters is not larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters, selecting the single-byte data extraction rule as the highest priority data extraction rule;
extracting, as an extracted subset, a subset of one or more characters from the particular set of characters by on applying the highest priority data extraction rule to the particular set of characters; and
providing the extracted subset of the one or more characters to display on the user interface.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the single-byte data extraction rule is associated with an English-language mode, and wherein the double-byte data extraction rule is associated with a Chinese-language mode.
6. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more computers and configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
determining a particular set of characters that are located in a region of a user interface that is associated with a user selection;
selecting, from among a single-byte data extraction rule and a double-byte data extraction rule, a data extraction rule for use as a highest priority data extraction rule in extracting a subset of the particular set of characters that are located in the region of the user interface that is associated with the user selection, comprising:
determining that the particular set of characters comprises both one or more double-byte characters and one or more single-byte characters;
counting a first amount of the one or more double-byte characters and counting a second amount of the one or more single-byte characters;
determining whether the first amount of the double-byte characters is larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters;
in response to determining that the first amount of the double-byte characters is larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters, selecting the double-byte data extraction rule as the highest priority data extraction rule; or
in response to determining that the first amount of the double-byte characters is not larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters, selecting the single-byte data extraction rule as the highest priority data extraction rule;
extracting, as an extracted subset, a subset of one or more characters from the particular set of characters by on applying the highest priority data extraction rule to the particular set of characters; and
providing the extracted subset of the one or more characters to display on the user interface.
7. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the user selection comprises a touch operation on a touchscreen of a mobile device.
8. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the extracted subset comprises a verification code sent by short message service (SMS).
9. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the extracted subset includes one or more characters outside of a coverage area of a touch on a touchscreen.
10. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the single-byte data extraction rule is associated with an English-language mode, and wherein the double-byte data extraction rule is associated with a Chinese-language mode.
11. A computer-implemented system comprising:
one or more computers; and
one or more computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more computers and configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
determining a particular set of characters that are located in a region of a user interface that is associated with a user selection;
selecting, from among a single-byte data extraction rule and a double-byte data extraction rule, a data extraction rule for use as a highest priority data extraction rule in extracting a subset of the particular set of characters that are located in the region of the user interface that is associated with the user selection, comprising:
determining that the particular set of characters comprises both one or more double-byte characters and one or more single-byte characters;
counting a first amount of the one or more double-byte characters and counting a second amount of the one or more single-byte characters;
determining whether the first amount of the double-byte characters is larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters;
in response to determining that the first amount of the double-byte characters is larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters, selecting the double-byte data extraction rule as the highest priority data extraction rule; or
in response to determining that the first amount of the double-byte characters is not larger than the second amount of the single-byte characters, selecting the single-byte data extraction rule as the highest priority data extraction rule;
