The present invention relates to an apparatus for inputting Korean characters using a keypad in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, a mobile apparatus for easily inputting a double vowel such as "ㅑ", "ㅕ", "ㅖ", "ㅞ", and the like. It relates to a communication terminal.

A device for inputting characters, such as a computer, has a plurality of keys corresponding to the phoneme of each character, and a specific type of code is assigned to each of the keys to input characters by a combination thereof. Therefore, a device for inputting characters such as a computer must be provided with a keyboard in which a plurality of keys are arranged. As such, at least 26 keys must be provided in order to input Korean characters smoothly by a character input device such as a conventional keyboard.

However, such a character input device, such as a keyboard is very bulky, it is difficult for the user to carry, it is very difficult to apply to a small system. Thus, typically, a mobile communication terminal should have a small keypad. That is, since such a mobile communication terminal is required to be miniaturized, a small keypad capable of easily inputting various Hangul characters has been desired. In particular, mobile communication terminals usually have 12 keys, and it is necessary to combine several keys to input Korean characters using these 12 keys.

Due to such a need, various Korean input methods and devices currently used in a mobile communication terminal have been disclosed. However, in view of the reality that a plurality of double vowels must be input when constructing a sentence in Korean, there are many inconveniences.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, "ㅑ", "ㅒ", "ㅔ", "ㅕ", "ㅖ", "ㅘ", "ㅙ", "ㅛ", "ㅝ," ㅞ " It is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile communication terminal that can more easily and quickly input a double vowel, such as "ㅠ".

According to the present invention, a mobile communication terminal includes seven keys arranged with consonants "a", "b", "c", "ㅂ", "ㅅ", "o", and "j", and "·", " A keypad having five keys arranged with a collection of "", "-a", "ㅣ", "ㅣ ㅣ", a character generator for generating a signal for generating a character corresponding to each key, and the character generation And a display for displaying characters generated according to the signal transmitted from the unit.

In the keypad, "ㅋ" and "ㄲ" are additionally disposed in the key disposed "a", and "d" is further disposed in the key where "b" is disposed, and the "c" is disposed. "ㅌ" and "ㄸ" are further disposed in the key, and "ㅍ" and "ㅃ" are further disposed in the key in which the "ㅂ" is placed, and "ㅎ" and "ㅆ" is additionally disposed, and "ㅁ" is further placed on the key in which "o" is placed, "ki" and "ㅉ" are additionally placed on the key in which the "j" is placed, "ㅘ" is additionally arranged on the key on which "..." is arranged, and "ㅙ" may be additionally arranged on the key on which "* |" is arranged.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are provided to those skilled in the art to fully understand the present invention can be modified in various forms, the scope of the present invention is limited to the embodiments described below It is not.

(Example)

1 is a view showing the configuration of a keypad according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 "a, ㅋ, ㄲ", 1 "b, d", 2 "b, ㅌ, ㄸ" "," 4, ",", "5," ㅅ, ㅎ, ㅆ ", 6," ㅇ, ㅁ ", 7" ", ㅎ, ㅉ", 8 "", ", 9," ㆍ, ㅘ ", 0 is" ㅣ "," * "is" ㅡ ", # is" ㅣ ㅣ, ㅙ "

Hereinafter, the Hangul input method using each key will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a view for explaining an example of the input method of each alphabet consonants using the keypad according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, since "a", "b", "c", "" "," ㅅ "," o ", and" ㅈ "among consonants are arranged on each keypad, the user presses each keypad once. . Other consonants, such as "ㅋ", press the "1" key twice in succession, "ㄹ" by pressing the "2" key twice in succession, and "ㅌ" press the "3" key twice in succession. By pressing, “” means “pressing” the “4” key twice in succession, “ㅎ” presses the “5” key twice in succession, and “ㅁ” means pressing the “6” key twice in succession. "" Can be entered by pressing the "7" key twice in succession.

Next, the double consonants can be input by pressing three consecutive consonants which are the basis of the consonants. For example, "ㄲ" by pressing the "1" key three times in succession, "ㄸ" by pressing the "3" key three times in succession, "ㅃ" by pressing the "4" key three times in succession, "ㅆ" can be entered by pressing the "5" key three times in succession, and "ㅉ" can be entered by pressing the "7" key three times in succession.

Next, the vowel input generally follows the input method of Korean characters. In other words, first press “ㅣ” and “ㅡ” and then press “·” to complete the vowel. Or, complete the vowel by pressing "·" first, followed by "ㅣ" and "ㅡ". In particular, in the present invention, since the "··" and "| ㅣ |" keys, which are not used in the prior art, can be used, when a double vowel must be input, it is easier to input.

For example, "ㅓ" can be entered by pressing the "8" and "0" keys, "ㅕ" can be entered by pressing the "9" and "0" keys, and "ㅖ" is the "9" key. And can be entered by pressing the "#" key. Therefore, especially when inputting "ㅑ", "ㅒ", "ㅕ", "ㅖ", "ㅛ", "ㅝ", "ㅞ", and "ㅠ" among double vowels, it is necessary to press "占" twice before. Unlike this completed, it is possible to input by pressing the "..." key only once.

In addition, in the input of "ㅔ", "ㅖ", and "중" of the double vowels, it is possible to input by pressing the "ㅣ ㅣ" key only once, unlike the input completed by pressing "ㅣ" twice. .

In the double vowel, "중" can be input by pressing the "9" key twice in succession, and "ㅙ" can be input by pressing the "#" key twice in succession. The number of times decreases drastically.

As described above, while completing the consonants and vowels in sequence, the mobile communication terminal may input Korean characters. For example, Hangul is usually composed of initial and neutral, but initial, neutral, and final, so one letter may be completed according to the method described above.

Hereinafter, a mobile communication terminal capable of inputting Korean characters will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a block diagram of a mobile communication terminal 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The mobile communication terminal 10 includes a keypad 11, a character generator 12, and a display 13.

As described above, when the user presses a key arranged on the keypad 11 such as the mobile communication terminal 10, the character generator 12 of the mobile communication terminal 10 generates a signal corresponding to each key. In the display 13 of the mobile communication terminal 10, a character according to the generated signal is displayed. In addition to arranging the numbers described above, the keypad 11 of the mobile communication terminal 10 may further have a key including “MENU”, “SEND”, and the like. In general, it can be implemented as LCD or LED.

The consonant arrangement shown in FIG. 1 is according to an embodiment of the present invention, and different consonants may be arranged on each of the 12 keys. For example, consonants are placed in "1", "2", "4", "5", "7", "8", and "*", and "3", "6", "9", "0", You can place a collection at "#".

As described above, according to the present invention, since the "占" key and the "ㅣ |" key are arranged on the keypad of the mobile communication terminal, It saves you from having to enter the "·" and "ㅣ" keys twice in a row, "ㅘ" for two consecutive "9" keys, and "ㅙ" for two consecutive "#" keys. Therefore, all three vowels of Hangul can be entered in three presses, which makes it possible to enter Hangul faster and more accurately.

As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described in detail, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is performed by a person with ordinary skill in the art within the scope of the technical idea of this invention. It is possible.
