Method and device for calling input method, server and terminal

A method and device for calling an input method, a server, a terminal and a computer program product are disclosed. In the disclosed method, when an application of the server enters an edit state, a desktop server of the server monitors an operating system to ensure that the application is in an edit state. Further, the desktop server sends a message to the terminal that the application is in an edit state, and the message triggers the terminal to invoke an input method of the terminal. In this way, the user can use the input method of the terminal to perform text input in the edit state of the application. 本申请公开了一种调用输入法的方法和装置、服务器、终端和计算机程序产品。该方法中,在该服务器的应用进入编辑状态时，该服务器的桌面服务端监听操作系统以确该定应用处于编辑状态。进而，该桌面服务端向该终端发送所述应用处于编辑状态的消息，该消息触发终端调用该终端的输入法。这样，用户可以使用该终端的输入法在该应用的编辑状态下进行文本输入。
