JPS63158957A - Input system for character of the like for telephone set - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an erroneous input from being generated, by displaying plural characters, etc., on a display and blanking one character, moving the character to be blanked by a key operation, and inputting the character by the key operation. CONSTITUTION:On the panel of a telephone set, the display 1 and keys 2-8 are provided. When the key 2 is depressed first, a mode of character input is started, and the leading row of a KANA(Japanese syllabary) character group is displayed on the first row of the display 1, and for example, a charactcr (ka) is blanked. When it is desired to input a character (to) first, the switching of the row to a preceding row or a succeeding row is performed so as to display a second row in which the character (to) is included by depressing the key 7. In such way, the second row of the KANA character group is displayed, and for example, a character (ta) is blanked. By depressing the key 8 for four times, a blanked position is moved to the character (to). Next, by depressing the key 5, the character (to) is inputted, Thus, it is possible to prevent the erroneous input from being generated.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Public funds for industrial use) This invention allows names, company names, etc. to be written in kana characters or European characters.

The present invention relates to a character input method in a telephone that can display and store symbols, numbers, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "characters, etc.").

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, when inputting characters, etc. on this type of telephone, a full-key one-sided system with keys corresponding to each sentence, etc. is adopted, and the characters, etc. are input directly.

(2) A plurality of characters such as "ABC" and "DEF" are assigned to one key, and a designation key is provided for selecting the corresponding characters of those keys to select and input the desired characters.

(2) Characters are displayed on the display as groups of 10 characters, and the characters are mapped to numbers 0 to 9, and the desired characters are selected and input using the numeric keypad.

However, (i) the one-sided method (ii) above requires a larger device, which also increases costs.

(ii) The above method (■) requires complicated operations and may cause erroneous input.

1) In the above method (■), the display occupies a large amount of space because it displays groups of characters corresponding to the numbers 0 to 9.
On the other hand, in order to reduce the occupancy, numbers from 0 to 9 must be printed on the panel of the device.

It had the following drawbacks.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been proposed in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a method for inputting characters, etc. on a telephone, which allows characters, etc. to be input accurately with a small number of keys. It's about doing.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention displays a plurality of characters, etc. on a display, causes only one character, etc. to blink, makes it possible to move the blinking character by key operation, and makes it possible to move the blinking character by key operation. The gist of this book is a method for inputting characters, etc. on telephones, which is characterized by inputting .

(Function) In the present invention, a character is selected by blinking one of a plurality of characters displayed on the display and moving the blinking character. This allows you to check the information directly, greatly reducing the number of incorrect inputs. Further, since fewer keys are required for operation, the device can be made smaller and costs can be reduced.

(Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing examples.

The figure is a diagram showing the arrangement of a display and keys on a panel of a telephone according to an embodiment of the present invention, where 1 is a display and 2 to 8 are keys.

It is assumed that the keys 2 to 8 have the following functions.

2... Selection of starting character group for character input mode 4... End of character input mode 3...
Selection within the same character group (switching to the previous line) 7...
・Selection among the same character group (switching to the next line) 6...
. . . Move the blinking position to the left 8 . . . Move the blinking position to the right 5 . In addition, in the table below, "Δ" indicates a space.

Next, the operation will be explained based on the figure and the table above for the case where the character string "dou ki tsu" is input. The operations are as shown in (a) to (g) below.

(a) First press key 2.

(b) The device enters character input mode, display 1
The first line of the kana character group, "AiueokakikukekoaiΔ-"°," is displayed on the first line, and for example, the character for "power" is blinking.

(0) Since you want to input “to” first, press key 3 or key 7 so that the second line containing “to” from the kana character group, “Sasis sesota chitsu te totsuu Δ−“°”, will be displayed. Press down.

If you press key 3, it will switch to the previous line (in this case, the last line) "Rarirurerodon Δ-゛°", and then press key 3.
If the key 7 is pressed twice, it will switch to the second line, but if the key 7 is pressed, it will be switched to the next line, so the second line can be displayed in one go.

(d) As a result, the display 1 displays the message ``DELTA-'''', and for example, the character ``ri'' is blinking.

By pressing the (.) key 8 four times, the plinking position moves to "G".

(1) By pressing the key 5, "G" is set in the memory, and at the same time, the character "G" is displayed on the right end of the second line of the display 1.

-Similarly, press keys 3, 7, 6, 8, and 5 to input "tsu", "ki", 'ν', and "tsu" in sequence, and display 1
"Touki Gotsu" will be displayed on the right of the second line.

(h) Finally, by pressing key 4, the character string "TOKEEU" is registered, and the device exits the character input mode.

Note that key 2 not only instructs the start of character input mode, but also has the function of selecting a character group. For example, if you want to input European characters and the current state is in the kana character group, press key 2. By pressing 2 once, it becomes a European character group state, and by pressing lli again, it becomes a numeric character group state.

Further, keys 3 and 7 are used to switch within one character group, and are used to continuously switch to the upper (front) line or the lower (back) line.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the present invention, a plurality of characters, etc. are displayed on the display, and only one character, etc. is blinked, and the blinking character can be moved by key operation. Since the blinking characters are input by (a), the characters to be input can be directly confirmed by eye, and the number of incorrect inputs can be greatly reduced.

(b) Since the display can be used effectively and fewer keys are required for operation, the device can be made smaller and the cost can be reduced.

There are other effects.
