Japanese keyboard and Japanese input system {Keyboard layout and Input system for Japanese}

The present invention relates to a Japanese keyboard and a Japanese input system, and in particular, proposes a new Japanese keyboard and input system capable of displaying various characters by an operation including a simplified character arrangement and touch and sliding.

Japanese characters are made up of five columns and ten rows, as shown in the 50th melody. The fifth stage consists of Adan, heresy, velvet, Edan, and Odan, and the tenth row is A line and Ka line. ， Throws of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line .

In addition to the characters shown in 5 columns and 10 lines, Japanese characters are also pronounced (撥 音: HAT), tak sound, ", 반 (°). , Tactiles (っ), lowercase vowels, and punctuation marks exist, and the letters and letters are merged to produce long sounds and long notes.

In order to input Japanese characters in an electronic device such as a computer or a mobile phone, many characters must be arranged in one keyboard. Recently, a smart device or a portable display has a limitation in displaying a keyboard for character input due to a small display screen. Since the number of character input buttons is relatively small compared to Japanese characters to be input, a method of sequentially arranging several characters on one key or sequentially displaying a character display screen in a tree structure has been proposed.

In this case, in order to input a character desired by the user, it is inconvenient to press a plurality of character input buttons. In addition, in an electronic device having a small display screen such as a mobile phone, an error of incorrectly entering a character is likely to occur in the process of inputting a limited keyboard of a keypad with only a few fingers.

In addition, in the case of Japanese, a character having a new sound or meaning is generated by combining symbols or other characters in addition to the basic characters, and in order to display these various characters, various characters in the character input unit of the touch screen must be repeatedly touched.

However, in a portable electronic device such as a smart phone, since it is not possible to display all the letters for forming letters and words on one display at a time, the basic keyboard 10 displaying only the basic representative characters 12 as shown in FIG. 1. There has been proposed a text input method of displaying on a display by a text input unit. In this case, the basic representative character is repeatedly touched to create and input a desired character or character combination.

Under such a character input method, it takes a lot of time by repeatedly touching the display to input a desired character or word, and also increases the possibility of an input error during the repeated touch process. In particular, a large number of inputs are required for inputting a mixed character such as a long sound that is made by merging characters with characters.

As the electronic devices become smaller and the touch screen emerges as a core technology of a flat panel display, a new character input method that can replace an input key of a conventional keyboard or the dial of a touch screen is required.

The present invention has been made under the above-described technical background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a new Japanese keyboard which can conveniently input Japanese even in a portable terminal having a small screen size.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a Japanese input system that can display various characters and character combinations while reducing the number of inputs when inputting Japanese characters.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a character input method that can easily input characters and input mixed characters in a systematic manner.

Other objects and technical features of the present invention will be presented in more detail in the following detailed description.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first selection key for selecting a character belonging to the A-end (あ か さ た は ま ら) and a character belonging to the い -dan (い き し ち に み り) The second selection key to select, the third selection key to select the characters belonging to the う group (う す す つ ぬ ふ む る) A vowel portion including a fourth selection key and a fifth selection key for selecting a letter belonging to the column お (お こ そ と の も ろ ろ); And a sixth selection key for selecting a character belonging to the か line (か き け こ), a seventh selection key for selecting a character belonging to the さ line (さ す せ そ), and a character belonging to the た line (たThe eighth selection key for selecting ち つ て と), the ninth selection key for selecting characters belonging to な (な に ね の の), and the characters belonging to the は line (は ふ ふ ほ) A consonant comprising a tenth selection key, an eleventh selection key for selecting a character belonging to a ま line, and a twelfth selection key for selecting a character belonging to a ら line (ら り れ ろ) The collection unit provides a Japanese keyboard for display, wherein the first selection key, the third selection key, the fourth selection key, and the fifth selection key are arranged radially around the second selection key. do.

In addition, the present invention provides a first selection key for selecting a letter belonging to the あ step (あ か さ た は ま ら), and a second selection key for selecting a letter belonging to the i step (い し し に に み り) And a third selection key for selecting a letter belonging to the う step (う く す つ つ ぬ む る る), a fourth selection key for selecting a letter belonging to the え step (え け せ て ね め れ れ), A vowel section including a fifth selection key for selecting a letter belonging to the column お (お こ そ と の も ろ ろ); And a sixth selection key for selecting a character belonging to the か line (か き け こ), a seventh selection key for selecting a character belonging to the さ line (さ す せ そ), and a character belonging to the た line (たThe eighth selection key for selecting ち つ て と), the ninth selection key for selecting characters belonging to な (な に ね の の), and the characters belonging to the は line (は ふ ふ ほ) A consonant comprising a tenth selection key, an eleventh selection key for selecting a character belonging to a ま line, and a twelfth selection key for selecting a character belonging to a ら line (ら り れ ろ) And a display for displaying a display unit, a selection key belonging to the vowel section, or a combination of selection keys belonging to the vowel section and the consonant section to generate text to display text on the display. Provides Japanese input system to include.

According to the present invention, various characters and combinations of characters can be input in a simple manner for Japanese having a complicated character system.

In particular, a simplified keyboard layout can be constructed by mapping alphabet and Japanese, and a simple character generation principle can be applied by sliding operation.

In addition, since character input and generation of mixed characters are determined by easy-to-understand rules, various various mixed characters can be easily displayed based on basic principles without memorizing them.

In addition, it is possible to eliminate the disadvantage of narrowing the text size by enlarging the dial or including a large number of characters in the text input device in a portable electronic device with a small display size such as a smart phone. In this case, touch errors can be reduced during the character input process.

The present invention improves the character input speed and enables convenient input of various character combinations, even through a portable terminal having a narrow screen size for Japanese with a complicated character system, and a new character that can drastically reduce typos in the input process. We propose an input system and Japanese keyboard for it.

The Japanese keyboard according to the present invention includes a vowel portion and a consonant portion in which selection keys are arranged to generate Japanese characters using a combination method of consonants and vowels. Such keyboard is preferably displayed on the display such as a touch panel by an arrangement of selection keys of the vowel portion and the consonant portion.

The vowel section includes at least five selection keys, and the letter belonging to あ step (あ か さ た な は ら ら) by selecting the selection key of the vowel section, the letter belonging to the い step (い き し ち に み り) , Characters belonging to う 단 (う く す つ つ ぬ つ む る), characters belonging to 단 (え け せ て ね へ め れ), or characters belonging to Ōdan (お こ そ と の の ほ も ろ) You can choose.

The consonant part includes at least seven selection keys, and the letter belonging to line か (か く け こ), the letter belonging to line さ (さ す せ そ), and the character belonging to line た by selecting the selection key of the consonant part. (た ち つ つ て と), a letter belonging to な line (な に ぬ ね の), a letter belonging to a line は (は は ふ ほ), a letter belonging to a line ま (ま み む め も), or ら line You can choose a character belonging to (ら り る れ れ).

When a selection key belonging to the vowel section or a combination of the selection keys belonging to the vowel section and the consonant section is selected, a character is generated, and the generated character is displayed on the display. To this end, an electronic device such as a touch panel or a smart phone includes a control unit that receives character selection information of a collection unit and a consonant unit from a keyboard on the display, generates a corresponding character, and transmits character information to display the corresponding character on the display. desirable.

In the Japanese keyboard according to the present invention, in particular, in the vowel section, a selection key for selecting a character belonging to the I stage is arranged at the center, and the remaining selection keys are arranged radially. This keyboard arrangement enables generation of various characters not displayed on the keyboard by sliding or dragging between selection keys as described below.

In addition, the Japanese keyboard and Japanese input system according to the present invention are based on a simple syntactic principle, without increasing the number of inputs (or the number of touches). You can create a variety of characters and mixed characters, such as), tactiles, pronunciations, and long sounds.

Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the Japanese character input method according to the present invention will be described.

Example  One

Referring to Fig. 2, a Japanese keyboard according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. The keyboard is divided into a vowel section 100 and a consonant section 200. The vowel section includes the A key (first selection key), I key (second selection key), U key (third selection key), and E. Key (4th selection key), O key (5th selection key) and small key (19th selection key) are included, and the consonant part includes K key (6th selection key) and S key (7th selection key). , T key (the eighth selection key), N key (the ninth selection key), H key (the tenth selection key), M key (the eleventh selection key), R key (the twelfth selection key), G key (the 13 selection keys), Z key (14th selection key), D key (15th selection key), B key (16th selection key), and P key (17th selection key).

If you select the A key from the vowel section, the letter belonging to the column あ (あ か さ た な は ま ら) is selected, and if the I key is selected, the letter belonging to the column い (い き し ち に に み り) is selected If the U key is selected, the letter belonging to the う step (う く す つ つ ぬ む む る) is selected; if the E key is selected, the letter belonging to the え step (え け せ て ね へ め れ) is selected, Selecting the O key selects the letters belonging to the お step (お こ そ の の も ろ), and selecting the 小 key produces lowercase letters (小 文字).

Selecting the K-key from the consonants selects the letter belonging to line か (か き け こ), and selecting the G key selects the letter belonging to the line が (が が ぐ げ ご), and selects the S key. Character in the さ line (さ す せ そ) is selected.If you select Z key, the character belonging to the ざ line (ざ じ ず ぜ,) is selected.ち つ て と) is selected, and if you select D key, the characters belonging to line だ (だ ぢ で ど) are selected, and if you select N key, the characters belonging to line な (な に ぬ ね の) are selected. , If you select the H key, the letter belonging to the line は (Hi へ へ ほ) is selected.If you select the B key, the letter belonging to the line ば (ば び ぶ べ ぼ) is selected.

The vowel portion has the remaining A, U, E, and O keys radially arranged around the I key (second selection key). The small key (19th selection key) is disposed between the A key (the first selection key) and the E key (the fourth selection key) or between the E key (the fourth selection key) and the O key (the fifth selection key). It is preferable. The selection key arrangement of the vowel portion makes the sliding or drag operation to be described later to be convenient, and is effective for generating characters such as a note sound or a long sound.

In the keyboard shown in FIG. 2, the second selection key of the vowel portion is indicated by I (Y), but may be displayed only by I, and the third selection key may be displayed by U instead of U (W).

The consonants are K key (sixth selection key), G key (seventh selection key), S key (seventh selection key), Z key (14th selection key), T key (eighth selection key), and D key. (15th selection key), N key (9th selection key), H key (10th selection key), B key (16th selection key), P key (17th selection key), M key (11th selection key) ) And R keys (12th selection key). This order follows the order of Japanese か が さ ざ た な は ば ま ま ら.

This selection key placement can help the user understand the character generation principle and remember without memorizing the layout of the keyboard.

In the Japanese keyboard according to the present invention, the vowel portion and the consonant portion are preferably arranged adjacent to each other. When the display size is large, the vowel portion and the consonant portion may be disposed at a predetermined interval apart.

In the present embodiment, the vowel is disposed on the right side of the consonant. Alternatively, the consonant may be disposed on the right side of the vowel. By changing the arrangement of the vowel section and the consonant in this way, a user who is right-handed or left-handed may conveniently enter Japanese. The positions of the vowel and the consonant may be set to be able to switch up and down as well as to switch left and right. The arrangement of the vowels and the consonants may be set to change by pressing the toggle button on the display.

In the present embodiment, the vowel portion has an I key (second selection key) at the center, an A key (first selection key) at the upper left, a U key (third selection key) at the upper right, and an E key at the lower left. (Fourth selection key) and an O key (a fifth selection key) are disposed at the lower right.

In contrast, as shown in FIG. 3A, the vowel portion has a second selection key at the center, a fifth selection key at the upper left, a third selection key at the upper right, a fourth selection key at the lower left, and a first at the lower right. Selection keys may be arranged respectively. Also, as shown in FIG. 3B, a second selection key is disposed at the center, a third selection key at the upper left, a fifth selection key at the upper right, a first selection key at the lower left, and a fourth selection key at the lower right. May be arranged respectively.

Generation of various characters according to the present embodiment is as follows.

First, in the case of listening, a character is generated according to the rule shown in FIG. Select A key (first selection key), I key (second selection key), U key (third selection key), E key (fourth selection key), or O key (fifth selection key)あ, い, う, え, or お is displayed.

Also, select any one of the selection keys belonging to the consonant part and decide any one of the か line さ line た line な row は line ま line ら line, and select any one of the selection keys belonging to the vowel section. Only one of う, え, and お may be determined to display hearings other than あ, い, う, え, and お.

For example, if the K key of the consonant part is selected (k row selection) and the I key of the vowel part is selected (i step selection), ki (ki) is displayed. In addition, when the N key of the consonant part is selected (select one row) and the O key of the vowel part is selected (o step selected), の (no) is displayed.

In the case of a character belonging to a ya line, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a character may be easily generated by sliding a vowel part. For example, by sliding the I (Y) key (second selection key) from the I (Y) key to the A key (first selection key) to display や, or from the I (Y) key (second selection key) to the U key (first Sliding with the 3 selection key) displays YU, or slides the I (Y) key (second selection key) with the O key (5th selection key) to display よ.

The generation rule of the characters belonging to the ya line is as follows.

i) y + a = ya

ii) y + u = yu

iii) y + o = yo

In the vowel portion of the Japanese keyboard of the present invention, the second selection key is disposed at the center and the remaining selection keys are arranged radially so that the selection key can be selected by sliding in accordance with these rules.

In addition, w and o are generated according to the following generation rules.

i) w + a = wa

ii) w + o = wo

Characters are generated according to the sliding operation shown in FIG. 6 so that the selection key is selected in accordance with this rule. That is, w is displayed by sliding from U (W) (third selection key) to A key (first selection key), and sliding from O (W) (third selection key) to O key (five selection keys).を is displayed. To facilitate such sliding, the U (W) (third selection key) is disposed adjacent to the A key (first selection key) and the O key (fiveth selection key).

In case of "N" (9th selection key), it is generated by selecting twice in succession.

Characters can be displayed according to the generation rules of FIGS. 7 and 8, respectively, in the case of the sound of the sound and the sound of the sound. In the specific method, the selection key of the consonant part is selected first and the selection key of the vowel part is selected. Display characters.

In other words, the G-key (Thirteenth selection key) for selecting characters belonging to the line (が ぎ ぐ げ 에서) in the consonant part, and the Z-key (Thirteenth selection) for selecting characters belonging to the line (ざ じ ず ぞ ぞ) Key), D key to select characters belonging to the first line (속하는 ぢ で で ど), and the B key (16th selection key) to select characters belonging to the line (ば ば で で ぼ) Any one of them can be selected, and any one of the selection keys belonging to the vowel section can be selected to display the sound tone.

In addition, the consonant part can select a P key (17th selection key) for selecting a character belonging to the first line (ぱ ぴ ぷ ぺ ぽ), and select one of the selection keys belonging to the vowel part to display a halftone sound. have.

On the other hand, when the T key (eighth selection key) of the consonant part is selected and the U key (third selection key) of the vowel part is selected, つ is displayed. After displaying the characters belonging to the ya line or つ, if a small key (19th selection key) is selected, lowercase letters ゃ, ゅ, ょ, or っ are displayed.

In the case of a note sound, a character is generated according to the rule of FIG. 9.

Specifically, the sixth selection key, the seventh selection key, the eighth selection key, the ninth selection key, the tenth selection key, the twelfth selection key, the thirteenth selection key, the fourteenth selection key, and the sixteenth selection key of the consonant part. Key, one of the seventeenth selection keys, and sliding the first selection key from the second selection key of the collection unit, sliding from the second selection key to the third selection key, or sliding the second selection key to the fifth selection key. To show the note.

In this case, the sliding operation described above with respect to FIG. 5 is applied. At this time, if the selection key of the consonant part is selected and the character belonging to the ya line is generated by the sliding operation in the vowel part, the character belonging to the ya line is automatically generated in the lower case.

For example, if you select the K key in the consonant (select row) and slide the I (Y) key to the A key in the vowel section (creating や by the 'y + a = ya' rule), the lowercase letter ゃ after Attached キ ゃ is created at once. Alternatively, select the K key in the consonant section (select row), select the I (Y) key in the vowel section, and create KI first, then slide the I (Y) key from the A key in the vowel section to change the capital letter や. You can also create a lowercase letter ゃ by selecting it and selecting the small key.

Similarly, if you select the K key in the consonant (select row) and slide the I (Y) key from the U key in the vowel section (generated by the 'y + u = yu' rule), the lowercase letter Kiki attached is created at once.

In the case of the touch っ, it can be generated by the rule shown in FIG.

To enter け っ て い, first create the け by selecting the K key on the consonant and then the E key on the vowel, then select the T key twice on the vowel, then select the E key on the vowel to create っ て. Afterwards, I is generated by selecting I key from the vowel section.

On the other hand, select `` K '' key from consonant part and select `` E '' key from vowel part to create け, select T key from consonant part and U key from vowel part to generate capital letter つ, and then select 小 key. You can also create a lowercase っ, select the T key in the consonant part, select the E key in the vowel part, create て, and finally select the I key in the vowel part to create い.

On the other hand, the Japanese keyboard and Japanese input system according to the present invention can easily generate long sound by the following compound sliding operation.

Specifically, any one of the selection keys belonging to the consonant part is selected, the second selection key of the vowel part is slid to the fifth selection key, and the third selection key is selected, or the second selection key is slid to the third selection key. After that, the third selection key may be selected to display long sounds. In addition, one of the selection keys belonging to the consonant part is selected, and the second selection key of the vowel part slides to the fifth selection key and then the second selection key to the second selection key or the third selection key to the third selection key. The long sound may be displayed by sliding the selection key and sliding the second selection key from the third selection key.

For example, in the case of ち ょ う, if you select the T key (select row) and slide from the I (Y) key to the O key (generated by the 'y + o = yo' rule), the ち ょ with a lowercase letter ょ at the back Is generated. Then select the U key to create う, which is complete.

In a more convenient way, reciprocating sliding as shown in FIG. 11 can be used. In the case of Chou, select T key (Ta row selection), and slide the I (Y) key and O key back and forth (I key-> O key -I key).

In the case of ち ゅ う, if you select the T key (select line) and slide from the I (Y) key to the U key (generated by the 'y + u = yu' rule), the ち ゅ is created at the same time with a lowercase letter 뒤 after Then select the U key to create う, which is complete. Alternatively, the T key can be selected (ta row selection), and the I (Y) key and the U key are slid back and forth (I key-> U key -I key) to display the display at once.

The generation of the long sound is based on the following vowel formation principle.

i) y + o + y = you, y + o + u = you

ii) y + u + y = yuu, y + u + u = yuu
