Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate complexity in Japanese input in a portable communication device or the like. <P>SOLUTION: The specification of the principles of Japanese is used to make Japanese input easy and efficient. Namely, input buttons are disposed in three lines, five vowel-series buttons are disposed in one line, and four and five consonant-series buttons are disposed in two lines. As an input operation display method, for vowel input, the vowel input button is pressed once. For a consonant, an associated consonant-series input button and an associated vowel button are pressed once, respectively. For a small letter of vowel, a vowel button is pressed twice. For the character of "n" disposed in the [n] series, a [n]-series button is pressed twice. For a small letter/geminated consonant/semi-voiced sound of a consonant, an associated-column consonant-series button is pressed twice and an associated vowel button is pressed for display. For voiced sound, an associated consonant-series button is pressed three times and an associated vowel button is pressed for display. According to such an input operation means, the button is pressed three times at a maximum. By providing an input position, efficiency and certainty of input due to a weak-sighted person can be improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

Technology field

  The present invention is an efficient input button that can share not only a normal person but also a weakly sighted person with a word input of a general portable communication device, ATM, electronic dictionary or the like.

Background technology

Word input for conventional general ATM / electronic dictionaries, etc. Hiragana, Japanese syllabary, half-cloudy characters, etc. For example, if you enter a letter, check that the input button is pressed 5 times.
The lower case of the roaring sound is further pressed 5 times plus a total of 10 times. To enter the muddy sound, search for the input button, press the button 5 times, check the display, and then search for the muddy point button. Added to. In the same way, prompting sounds and semi-voiced characters are not complicated, and if you overlook them, you will have to retype them again.
It is not an exaggeration to say that low-sighted people are still unable to input.
In addition, it is difficult to input alphabetic characters with random number of characters.

Registered Utility Model Publication (U) Utility Model Registration No. 3099808

Conventional word input for general ATM / electronic dictionaries, etc., is difficult to search for necessary characters one by one from the whole characters such as hiragana, Japanese syllabary and half-dakuten.
In the present invention, when inputting a vowel character, for example, with a general portable communication device, it is confirmed that the input button is pressed five times.
The lower case of roaring is 5 times plus 10 times in total,
If you want to enter a muddy sound, search for the input button, press the button 5 times, check the display, and then search for the muddy point button and add it. In the same way, if you overlook the prompt sound and plosive sound without any complicated input, you will have to re-enter the input again, and even a healthy person will be extremely troublesome.
Even if it is said that a weak-sighted person cannot input any more, it is an exaggeration to try to solve the current problem.

  In addition, when taking an example with a conventional general mobile communication device, it is intended to solve the problem that English character input is difficult to input with random number of character arrangements.

Means to solve the problem

By using the specifications of the Japanese principle, Japanese language input can be easily and efficiently solved.
That is, the input buttons are arranged in three rows, five vowel rows in one row, four consonant rows in five rows, and five English characters are arranged in two input buttons.
In order to simplify and ensure the input operation method, the maximum input button was pressed three times.
In addition to the above, by providing an input base for the input button, the low vision person can also improve the input efficiency to solve the problem of the current word input.
(Katakana characters and arithmetic numbers are supported by the shift key)

The invention's effect

Press the input button once for vowels, press the input button twice for lowercase vowels.
In the same way, press the character line input button placed on the same line twice.
Consonant presses the related consonant row input button and related vowel once.
For consonant lowercase letters, press the consonant-related line input button twice and the associated vowel once.
The reversible sound is displayed by pressing the related row consonant row button twice and the vowel is pressed once. The muddy sound is displayed when the related consonant row button is pressed 3 times and pressed once.
The single button can be displayed in a reliable, easy, and efficient manner three times.
By providing an input position, the efficiency and certainty of the input of low vision is improved.
It was possible to achieve an efficient word input effect that is friendly not only to general portable communication devices, but also to people who can share word inputs such as ATMs and electronic dictionaries with both normal and low vision people.
In addition, the search input was made easier by placing English letters on the input buttons with two constant values.
(Katakana characters and arithmetic numbers are supported by the shift key)

Example of whole character vertical writing arrangement (a) Vowel row arranged at the center of three columns (b) Vowel row arranged at the left end of three columns Whole character horizontal layout example Example of all-letter vertical writing arrangement (a) Input button arrangement in order from alphabet A along the horizontal direction to the three-column vertical writing button arrangement (b) Input button layout for each input The same layout is used for the horizontal layout of English letters.

Examples for carrying out the invention

Press the input button once for vowels, press the input button twice for lowercase vowels.
In the same way, press the character line input button placed on the same line twice.
The consonant is the related consonant row input button and the related vowel is pressed once. The turbulence sound is displayed by pressing the related row consonant row button twice. The related vowel is pressed once. .

● is the input base

Various electronic device word input can be used.

Claims (3)

By using the specifications of the Japanese principle, Japanese input is made easy and efficient, and the problem is solved. That is, the input buttons are arranged in three columns, and five vowel rows are arranged in one column, and four consonant rows are arranged in two columns.
Improved efficiency and certainty by simplifying the input operation method.
In other words, as an input operation means, a vowel input is pressed once for a vowel input button, and a consonant is pressed once for a related consonant line input button and a related vowel.
Press the vowel button twice for a vowel lower case letter. The character placed on the correct line is pressed twice.
Consonant lowercase letters, prompting sounds, and turbidity sounds are displayed by pressing the related row consonant row button twice and pressing the vowel once.
Turbidity is displayed by pressing the related consonant row button three times and pressing the vowel once.
Pressing one button up to 3 times makes it easy to display characters, not only for general mobile communication devices, but also for those who can share word inputs such as ATMs and electronic dictionaries with both normal and low vision people This is an input button designed for the purpose. English letters are easy to input by placing them on the input buttons.
Katakana characters and numbers are supported by the shift key. By providing an input position, the input efficiency of low vision people was increased.
