Description

Character input device for inputting Japanese and English in combination with basic sentences {.}

The present invention relates to a proposed character input device in order to overcome the difficulty in entering characters due to the limitation of the number of buttons in a small device such as a mobile phone or a pager, and extracts several basic sentences forming a basic form in Japanese katakana. After that, by combining only the basic sentence above to enable input of the entire Japanese character, the input unit is composed of the basic sentence only, so that the characters can be input as if the entire characters are inputted from the computer keyboard with a small number of input buttons. A character input device using a basic sentence type.

In modern times, information communication devices such as mobile phones, pagers, small game consoles, and remote controllers are becoming smaller, and the number of input buttons is decreasing. However, as the function is improved in inverse proportion to the reduction in size, the necessity of inputting characters continues to increase. As a result, it is very difficult to enter the entire Japanese language with a limited input button. To enter Japanese with the limited button, assign several characters to one button, and then press the buttons consecutively to enter the characters. Character input is performed by selecting and pressing the cursor button to input the next character. To overcome this problem, the present invention extracts a basic sentence type that can best represent them from Japanese katakana and overcomes the basic sentence type. The present invention relates to a character input device that can easily input all characters by recomposing characters by combining them, and by sequentially inputting basic sentence types as input from a computer keyboard even with a limited input button (for example, a mobile phone). That is, the present invention relates to a character input device that can easily express a large number of characters by using a limited input button without a separate cursor moving operation by expressing one character by combining two input buttons in a pair.

Currently, there are many kinds of Japanese such as katakana, hiracana, sound, bass, and tactile sounds, so it is very difficult to display the entire Japanese language with limited input buttons such as mobile phones. In order to overcome this problem, several characters are assigned to one button, and one character is selected by inputting as many numbers as necessary, and then moved to the next space with the cursor movement key, and the next character is selected in the same manner as described above. This method is not only very inconvenient because the user is inputting characters, but a process of creating letters one by one, and it is difficult to input a large amount of characters because the input method is difficult. In order to overcome this problem, the liquid crystal, which is the character output unit, is adopted as a large one, and the katakana and the hiracana are displayed on the liquid crystal, and the user selects the corresponding character by the selection means, so that one character is inputted or moved each. There is a method of calling a telecommunications company, talking to an operator, calling a character to be transmitted, and having the operator type the message to be delivered to the receiver. Even if the former method is adopted, the size of the liquid crystal is large in the case of the former, and it is inconvenient in terms of price and use because additional hardware required for selection is introduced, and in the case of the latter, a call with an operator is required for text transmission. It must be cumbersome or expensive to do.

The present invention proposes a character input device capable of inputting Japanese katakana and hiragana and a rhythm, a tactile sound, and a turbid sound as an input means (for example, a button) to overcome the above problems. Also, in order to be able to input various symbols, we propose a rub input device that can input a symbol by combining a number key.

Accordingly, the present invention extracts and proposes a basic sentence type that can best represent the character from each katakana or hiracana in order to input a character with the limited input means (for example, a button). By arranging only basic sentence types independently so that the buttons can be sequentially pressed, an array of input buttons is proposed so that katakana and hiracana can be continuously input. In addition, the present invention proposes a character input device that can be sequentially input characters without a separate cursor movement by forming a basic character by combining the base sentence in an even number in order to automatically recognize between the character and the character. In addition, the present invention proposes an arrangement of buttons for inputting katakana, hiragana, uppercase alphabetical characters, and lowercase alphabetical characters with a minimum combination of buttons by applying these character input devices to a mobile phone, and the characters capable of effectively entering the characters. We propose an input device. In addition, the present invention proposes a character input device that can put various symbols by combining the numeric keys.

Figure 1-Example of Japanese English input key arrangement using basic sentence

2-Configuration diagram of a character input device using a basic sentence

The configuration of the present invention comprises a basic sentence type extracted from a basic character (for example, Japanese katakana, hirikana, English alphabet), an input unit for inputting the basic sentence, a character recognition unit recognized as a character as the input basic sentence, And an output unit for outputting the recognized character. Since the input unit, the character recognition unit, and the output unit are almost similar to the functions of the input unit, character recognition unit, and output unit of the conventional character input device, the description of the above portions is omitted in the present invention. This chapter describes the structure of basic sentences, the relationship between basic sentences and basic characters, and character conversion relationships.

First, the basic sentence extracted for each basic character and the combination of the original basic character are as follows.

1. Japanese is katakana, hiracana, bass and tactile sound. It consists of sound sound.

Katakana composition: ア イ ウ エ オ, カ ガ キ キ ギ グ キ ゲ コ, サ ザ ジ ジ ス ズ セ セ ソ ゾ, ダ ダ ッ チ ヂ ッ ツ テ デ ッ ド,ハ バ パ パ ビ ビ フ フ ブ プ ヘ ベ ベ ペ ボ ボ ポ, マ ミ ム メ モ, ラ リ リ レ ロ, ャ ュ ュ ョ ヨ, ワ ヲ ン

Composition of Hirakan: あ い え お, か き き く ぐ け こ こ ご, さ ざ じ じ ず せ ぜ そ ぞ, た だ ち ぢ つ づ て で と ど, な に ぬ ね, ば ひ び ひ ふ ぶ ぷ へ べ べ ほ, ま み む め も ら り る れ ろ, ゃ ゅ ゆ よ よ, わ を ん

Composition of other characters: -

The basic sentence form is restricted from the katakana and other constituent characters, and a method of inputting katakana, hiragana, and other characters by using the basic sentence is proposed.

Table 1 above. In Mode 1, Katakana input mode and Mode 2 means Hirakana input mode. The long sound, the touch sound, and the low sound sound can be expressed as follows.

-Tak-myeon ' use. ( Yes : - -> ザ)

-Half-tone ' use. (Example: レ － -> ピ)

-Use the tones. (Ex: ￢－ ～-> ュ)

-Jang is' ' use. ( Yes : レ -> シ-)

Table 1 describes the contents of inputting katakana and hiracana using basic sentences. In addition, the modification and combination of the basic sentence may be changed to various forms, and extracting the basic sentence from the forms of Katakana and Hirakana, which are Japanese basic characters, and combining them twice each to form a character, the technical features of the present invention It will be included in the thought.

2. English alphabet is A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W , X, Y, and Z. In order to represent the alphabet as a basic sentence, a basic sentence type of the alphabet is proposed, and an apparatus for inputting the alphabet by combining two basic sentence forms is proposed.

Table 2 shows the contents of entering the alphabet using the basic sentence. In addition, it may be changed to various forms through modification and combination of the basic sentence type that can represent the alphabet, extracting the basic sentence form from the form of the alphabet, and represent the alphabet by combining as shown in Table 3, included in the technical idea of the present invention Will be natural.

3. The following describes the various symbol inputs. The symbols provided by the computer vary widely. However, if the number of input units is limited, there is no way to input them. In order to overcome this problem, a character input device capable of inputting various symbols with only a limited input unit by expressing one symbol by combining two buttons of the input unit is proposed.

There are many different types of symbols, so here are some of them. @ # $% ^ & * ()-= \ _ + | : "<>?,. /; '{} [] ... etc. There are many symbols, etc. When the above two buttons are sequentially input by combining two symbols from No. 1 to No. 9, the buttons If the corresponding symbol is inputted, 89 symbols from 11 to 99 can be input.

The table shows symbols that may correspond to the input button when two input buttons are sequentially pressed. The table shows an example that can indicate various symbols that can correspond to the input button, the method may be modified in various forms according to the arrangement relationship or the number of input of the input button, as shown above It is within the technical idea of the present invention to input a symbol in such a manner as to transform it into a symbol by a combination of more than one time. When the input button is combined two or more times in detail, the characters as well as the symbols will be possible. If the two inputs are combined, the symbols can be converted into 10 buttons from 1 to 0. The number of characters or symbols that are present is a total of 90 combinations of 10 to 10 to 19, 10 to 20 to 29, and 10 to 90 to 99, so you can combine two input buttons with 10 input buttons. When entering a symbol, 90 characters or symbols can be entered. At this time, the input buttons are combined by two so that no additional cursor movement is required for the next character.

Hereinafter, an input unit for inputting the basic sentences will be described. The input unit may be input by hand or foot, or in various ways, and may also vary in type, button type, screen touch type, click type hitting, etc. In the present invention, only the button type is mentioned, but the above screen touch type is used. There will be no difficulty in applying the rest of.

Fig. 1A shows an example of arrangement of Japanese input buttons. In Figure 1 a) 10. 12 is the input button for moving the cursor. No. 11 is used as a button for mode switching. For example, when button 11 is pressed once, it cycles to Katakana input mode-> hiragana input mode-> symbol input mode-> katakana input mode. If you want to input hiragana in katakana input mode or input katakana in hiragana input mode, you can mix hiragana and katakana by entering basic sentence type while pressing button 11. 2) b) English and Japanese. Here is an example of a button layout that allows you to enter symbols at the same time. An example of usage is shown in the table below.

Table 4 describes the usage according to the arrangement of buttons to input English and Japanese. The method may be modified in various forms according to the arrangement relationship of the input buttons or the number of inputs, and the implementation of the input method of Table 4 through such slight modifications will be within the technical idea of the present invention.

As described above, when inputting basic characters in basic sentences, various sentences such as English, Japanese, and symbols can be easily input from a limited input unit, thus bringing a notable change in the character input method of a mobile phone which is widely used now. Various game machines, character input devices using remote controllers, character input devices on Internet TVs, character input devices using scaffolding (e.g., character input devices similar to current DDR game devices), and miniaturization of informatization devices that involve future character input It is expected to make a significant contribution.
