Description

Technology field

  The present invention is an efficient input button that can share not only a normal person but also a low vision person with a word input of a general portable communication device, ATM, electronic dictionary, and 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.

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.

Even if it is said that a weak-sighted person is still unable to input, it is not 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

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)

Vertical arrangement example of whole characters (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 the 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.
