Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of computers, telephones and communications, and more particularly to a method of inputting Japanese when performing business such as communication by inputting Japanese into a computer or a mobile phone. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Due to the development of computers and telecommunications industry, there is a need for business such as mobile phone communication, network connection by mobile phone, BTB and BTC wirelessly by mobile computer at any time. Therefore, there is an urgent need to solve the problem of Japanese input on small mobile devices such as mobile phones. However, Japanese characters have more than 50 characters and dozens of voiced sounds, semi-voiced sounds, and vocal sounds such as character changes and deformations, which makes Japanese input on mobile phones even more difficult. , Direct input with kana characters remained unresolved.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of inputting Japanese characters that enables data communication of character data by a mobile phone by directly inputting kana characters to the mobile phone.

[0004]

The present invention has been achieved as follows. A wireless communication is realized by using a certain Japanese input method for communication such as a mobile phone and a computer, and a computer product, and specifically includes the following steps. An interface including nine keys in three rows and three rows is preset in the memory of the mobile phone. The nine keys in three rows and three rows correspond to nine numeric keys 1 to 9 of the mobile phone. The interface to be set in advance is "A"
The interface consists of 10 leading character interfaces composed of 10 characters in the column, the main character interface of each line composed of the characters of each line of Japanese Kana characters, and the Japanese characters consisting of voiced sounds, semi-voiced sounds, prompting sounds, and small letters. Including the first and second supplementary character interfaces of each line
Among them, the 10 first character interface is a permanent interface. The work steps for inputting Japanese kana characters are as follows. First, a line containing a target character is selected from the 10-head character interface, and its key is pressed. According to a predetermined program, after pressing the key, the main character interface of each line where the character is located is changed. When the target character key is pressed, the character is displayed at the position designated by the cursor, and the input of the character is completed. Repeat the above steps and proceed with Japanese input.

Japanese has 50 clear sounds in the Japanese syllabary, 5
It has one of the most complex languages in terms of character input, including a large number of semi-voiced sounds, twenty voiced sounds, and more than ten murmurs. However, if the nine-square input method according to the present invention is adopted, character input can be achieved with a mobile phone by simply hitting the clear tone of the Japanese syllabary figure two times, and the other characters can be one to three.
You can easily enter complex Japanese characters into your mobile phone with more keystrokes. The 9-square input method according to the present invention is very logical. It is intended to realize Japanese input simply and clearly. Of course, this is a computer, P
It can be used for various computer products and communication devices such as DA.

[0006] The Japanese input method according to the present invention is realized by directly pressing a key from the first 10 character interface to the main character interface of each line and, if necessary, to the first auxiliary character interface and the second auxiliary character interface. Introduces a way to achieve kana input. Japanese kana characters, in addition to the 50 characters in the Japanese syllabary, include more than 70 characters, including voiced sounds, semi-voiced sounds, murmurs, and so on. In front of such complex and numerous kana characters, the input method according to the present invention is very simple, clear and clear, and usually one key can be input with two keystrokes.

In the Japanese input method according to the present invention, uppercase and lowercase alphabets can be input. This takes into account the Internet connection with a mobile phone and allows English text to be input at any time when inputting Japanese. Numbers from 0 to 9 are also contemplated, and the main and auxiliary character interfaces incorporated in the method according to the invention include alphabets and numbers. Since the kana character that is the basis of Japanese is composed of five columns and ten lines, ten lines are coded with exactly ten numbers from 0 to 9, and there are five characters in each line of ten lines, Place one number on the main interface of each line and up to five kana characters on each main and auxiliary interface, so that four empty keys can be used under nine keys, and thus the main interface on each line Should include uppercase letters of the alphabet, and the auxiliary interface should include lowercase letters of the alphabet. Some commonly used punctuation marks are also included in each auxiliary interface because they are necessary for network connection.

[0008] Since the sound and the prompt are actually composed of two kana characters, the input of the sound and the prompt can be achieved by a method of displaying the preceding character in uppercase and the subsequent character in lowercase.

In the method according to the present invention, first, a 10-head character interface, a main character interface for each line, which is a total of 10 lines, and first and second supplementary character interfaces corresponding to each line are previously stored in a memory such as a mobile phone or a computer. If the setting and the program based on the method of the present invention, that is, the predetermined program for converting the interface is set in the memory, the interface is converted by pressing the button two or three times during the operation of Japanese input, Japanese character input can be easily achieved.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a Japanese input method according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a layout diagram showing a 10-head character interface in a 9-square-type Japanese input method according to the present invention. Japanese kana characters have five columns and ten lines. If the first character of the five columns is arranged in three columns × three columns based on the nine-square system of the present invention, one of the characters in a numeric keyboard such as a mobile phone and a computer can be obtained. It matches the layout of the -9 numeric key.
"Wa" is the last part of the first row, and since three of these characters are already included in the previous part, special processing is performed on this, and the "0" key of the numeric keyboard is applied. In the method according to the present invention, this key can be regarded as a function key, since it mainly includes a page down function, that is, a function of switching from one interface to the next. Thus "A",
"Ka", "sa", "ta", "na", "ha", "ma",
The nine leading characters of "ya" and "ra" are arranged in order based on an arrangement of three rows and three columns as shown in FIG.

These nine characters may be arranged differently from those shown in FIG. 1 by changing the arrangement based on the nine-square system according to the present invention. For example, the order may be changed, such as placing “A”, “KA”, and “SA” in the bottom row. However, if they are arranged based on a three-stage × three-row system, they belong to the method according to the present invention.

The ten kana characters are particularly important because they are the first characters of each line.
It is a permanent character interface named “0 first character interface”. When entering a program for Japanese input, this "10 first character interface" always appears as shown in FIG. When the "#" key among the function keys is pressed, the display returns to the second character interface.

In the same way, place the three kana characters “U”, the second row from left to right “E” and “O” two kana characters, and place the number “1” in the remaining key. The third row, from left to right, the uppercase letter "A"
“B” and “C” are set. In Japanese, there are five kana characters per line, so if you assign five keys to them, there are still four keys left, so assign one of them to numbers and three to uppercase letters of the alphabet.

The numbers are arranged such that n comes in the n-th row.
For example, the number "1" is assigned to the first line "A",
If the number “2” is assigned to the “ka” row in the second row, and so on, a total of 10 rows are assigned to exactly 10 numbers from 1-9 to 0.

The alphabets are also arranged and arranged based on this method. Since there are only 26 letters in the alphabet, nine lines are sufficient for the assignment. Along the order from “A” to “Z”, “A”, “B”, “C” are placed in the first “A” line, “D” is placed in the second “KA” line, When “E” and “F” are arranged in such a manner, they are all arranged on the three lowest keys of the nine squares.

In the case of this figure, the upper left key is “7”, the lower left key is “1”, and the only difference is the number setting of the numeric keys. For this reason, when inputting and displaying the positions of the Japanese keys by numbers, the numbers are different between FIG. 24 and FIG. 24, but this is due to the difference in the arrangement of the numbers even at the keys at the same position. There is no difference from the layout.

FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram of input operation steps of the Japanese input method according to the present invention. When the function key is pressed to enter the Japanese kana input program, the interface enters the 10 character interface. That is, the numeric keys of the mobile phone correspond to the 10-head character interface, and a cursor is displayed on the screen. In step 261, the key of the first character of the line is selected according to the line of the target Japanese character. When the key is pressed, step 262 is entered. That is, the main character interface of the line is entered. If it is a character in the Japanese syllabary, if the character to be input is directly selected, the process proceeds to step 263. The selected character is displayed at the position of the cursor, the cursor moves to the next position, and the character interface of the numeric keys returns to the ten first character interface. In step 262, voiced sound, semi-voiced sound, relentless sound,
When inputting prompts, etc., once or twice,
It is necessary to change the interface by pressing a key to an auxiliary character interface including a target character. For example,
In the case of inputting a character such as "ga" or "bo", after entering the auxiliary character interface of this character line and pressing the key of the target character, step 263 is entered and the input is completed.

Since the interface in step 263 and the character interface in step 261 are the same, the actual steps are as follows.
It may be considered that there are only 61 and step 262.

FIG. 27 shows a Japanese input method according to the present invention.
It is an embodiment showing conversion between hiragana and katakana. By simply pressing one designated function key, for example, the "FC" key, the character interface of Hiragana can be converted to the corresponding character interface of Katakana. When the "FC" key is pressed again, the character interface of Katakana can be converted to the corresponding character interface of Hiragana. The figure illustrates the ten-character interface as an example.

FIG. 28 shows an embodiment in which the character "A" is input using the Japanese input method according to the present invention. On the right side of the figure, numeric keys arranged in nine rows of three rows and three rows are arranged, and when the "INIT" start key is pressed, the character interface enters the 10-head character interface, and "A" Since it is located on the "A" line which is a key indicating "7", if "7" is pressed according to step 261, the character interface on the "A" line is entered as shown in the intermediate diagram. Since "a" is the first character of the same line, it is the key of "7" according to the main character interface of the "a" line set in advance at the position of "7", so the key of "7" is changed according to step 262. When pressed, the process enters step 263. This completes the input of "A",
"A" is displayed at the position of the cursor, the cursor moves to the next, and the interface returns to the ten-character interface, so that the user can immediately proceed to the input of the next character. The two numbers "77" written on the right side of the interface of step 263 explain that pressing the numeric keys "7" and "7" completes the input of the character "A". In the interfaces shown in the upper diagram and the middle diagram, the keystroke keys are indicated by being surrounded by a large frame.

As shown in this embodiment, Japanese 50
The input of the characters in the sound chart, that is, the clear tone, can be completed only by two keystrokes.

Since "mo" is located in the "ma" line, pressing the lower left key in the figure, that is, pressing the "1" key where the "ma" is located,
Enter the main character interface of the "ma" line. Since "MO" is arranged on the key of "5", when "5" is pressed, the input is completed, and the input character of "MO" is displayed at the position of the cursor. That is, if two keys of the numeric keys “1” and “5” are sequentially pressed, “mo” can be input.

FIG. 30 shows an embodiment in which the character "Po" is input. Since "Po" is katakana, it is necessary to use the katakana 10-head character interface. "C"
When the number key "6" is pressed because the line is a line, the main character interface of the line "c" is changed as shown in FIG. 7, but since there is no "po" in the main character interface, the function key "0" Press to change to the first supplementary character interface. This first supplementary character interface also has "Po"
Therefore, when the function key "0" is continuously pressed, the display switches to the second supplementary character interface. Since "Po" is located at "5" in the second supplementary character interface,
Pressing "5" completes the input of "Po". In this way, by inputting the numeric keys “6”, “0”, “0”, “5”, the input of “Po” is completed, but since there are only five semi-voiced sounds, There is no significant effect on the input speed of the method.

FIG. 31 shows an embodiment in which lowercase alphabetic characters "a" are input according to the method of the present invention. Since "a" is located on the first supplementary character interface on the "a" line, first press the numeric key "7" to enter the main character interface on the "a" line, and "A" is displayed. Pressing "0" will enter the first supplementary character interface on line "A". Since “a” is arranged at the position of the key of “1”, when the numeric key “1” is pressed, “a” is displayed.
Is completed. The order of the numeric keys to be hit in this way is “7”, “0”, “1”.

FIG. 32 shows an embodiment in which the numeral "1" is input using the character interface of the present invention by the method of the present invention. Since the numeral “1” is located in the main character interface on the “A” line, starting with the 10 first character interface, pressing the numeric key “7”
Enter the main character interface of the "A" line. Since "1" is arranged at the numeral key "6", when the numeral key "6" is further pressed, the numeral "1" is inputted and the numeral "1" is entered.
Is displayed at the cursor position. Thus, as shown in the outline, by inputting the keys "7" and "6" sequentially, the numeral "1" can be input.

Among the function keys, there is a key that always has a deletion function, but in this example, a “BS” key is used as a deletion function key. If there are three characters "A", "a", and "M" on the left side of the cursor as shown in the left figure, pressing the "BS" key changes to the right figure, and "M" at the cursor position is displayed. Is deleted.
This is a function provided in any input method.

In the method according to the present invention, there are three cursor movement keys, but those relating to functions such as character editing belong to general functions and will not be particularly described.

FIG. 34 shows an embodiment in which Japanese "sho" is input. "Sho" is a relentless sound and consists of two characters, uppercase "shi" and lowercase "sho". The number of keystrokes increases because two characters are input. When the key "9" is pressed from the 10-head character interface, the main character interface of the "sa" line is entered. When the key "8" is further pressed, the input of "shi" is completed. After returning to the first character interface, pressing the key "2" displays "Ya" and enters the main character interface of the "Ya" line. Since the lowercase “yo” is located in the supplementary character interface, pressing the function key “0”
