The present invention relates to a keyboard layout conversion of the keyboard that can change the position of the Hangul / English switch key provided in the Hangul keyboard, and more particularly, as long as the keyboard position is arranged in an uncomfortable position during word work. The present invention relates to a control method and apparatus for converting a keyboard Korean-English key arrangement to change the position of the keyboard layout of the Korean-English switch key to a desired position in order to solve the inconvenience of frequently using the / English switching key. .

In the structure of a conventional keyboard, there are countless buttons on an elongated board, and each button is composed of English letters, Korean characters, and numbers, which is used when a user wants to enter a desired character. For example, if you want to input the letter 'A' into the computer, you can select the key with 'A' written on the keyboard and press it lightly.However, the toggle key for switching between Korean and English is located at the bottom right of the keyboard layout. It is the current standard keyboard configuration to be in a position where it is inconvenient to press.

The keyboard layout of the keyboard is called the Qwerty keyboard, which is arranged in the most suitable state by research. In addition, an AT-class PC has a 101-key keyboard. Subsequently, the keyboard has become the norm by adding two keys instead of pressing the start button with the mouse and one key corresponding to the right mouse button.In Korea, one more key for converting to Chinese characters and one more Korean and English conversion key are added. It is the situation that 106 keys are used.

The Korean and English toggle keys are toggled so that a certain state is set when pressed once, and when pressed again, the state is released. Press once to enter Korean input mode and press it again to switch to English input mode.

However, the standardized keyboard described above is not inconvenient for people with hand disabilities or users who frequently use Korean / English switching keys, so it is necessary to examine the technology for changing the keyboard layout of the keyboard. It is true.

In addition, the information on the current status value of the Korean / English conversion key allows operating systems such as Microsoft's Windows to control the corresponding language information when the system is first installed on the system. This is the Input Method Editor (IME) status display window. However, such information is difficult to identify, such as the location of the Korean / English conversion key, and exists in the form of a small icon on the menu bar, and thus it is not effective for identification.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, it is possible to convert the value of the key so that the Korean / English switch key can function properly to the desired position, combining the arrangement of the keyboard to the desired form It is possible to display the converted key exchange information and the information on the status value of the Korean / English switch key through the screen displayed separately on the top of the control method for the user-centered keyboard Korean-English key arrangement conversion and The object is to provide the device.

A status display section 6 which detects a status value of the information updated in the data storage section 5 and displays it as text information for the user to identify on the monitor;

The signal code of the key matrix input unit 2 is transmitted to the scan code conversion unit 3, and the state information on the exchanged scan codes is updated in the registry registration unit 4, and the updated state information and the Korean / English conversion. The control unit 1 stores the current state value of the key 11 in the data storage unit 5 and controls it so that the updated value of the stored information can be outputted through the state display unit 6. .

The status display unit 6 is based on the highest layer to exist at the top of the document editing program or activated software, and at this time, the status display unit 6 containing the corresponding information so as not to cover the function keys or the screen of the document editing program or the activated software. ) Region is characterized in that the function to adjust the opacity (Opacity) is applied so that the screen information of the lower layer can be transmitted and identified.

The adjustment of the opacity is preferably implemented in the registration information by installing a separate driver, but in order to simplify the structure, it is set to an opacity value (a numerical value expressed as a maximum of 100 and a value of about 50 opacity) in order to simplify the structure. It is desirable to have.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a signal processing relationship of a keyboard Korean-English key conversion system, and the control method for converting a keyboard Korean-English key arrangement according to the present invention includes steps (S1) beginning with a key being pressed on a keyboard;

A conversion key state value detecting step of detecting whether the pressed key is a state value of the Korean / English switching key 11 in a state in which a specific signal of the array state conversion key 12 or a preset function key is applied (S2). )Wow;

If the detected state value has a truth value of False, the keyboard operation step (S3) of performing a pressing operation of a key for inputting a character;

If the detected state value has a true value of True, waiting for a key matrix input value of a keyboard layout to be exchanged as recognized for key matrix conversion of a Korean / English switch key;

A scan code call step (S5) for converting scan codes of the input key value and the Korean / English switch key value when the key value is input in the input value waiting step (S4);

Step S6 of retrying if a scan code is not converted through the scan code call step (S5) and then branching to a guide call for re-entry and an input value waiting step (S6);

An S / N conversion key mapping step (S7) in which information on the converted scan code is modified and registered in the registry when the scan code is converted through the scan code call step (S5);

A history storing step (S8) of storing keyboard layout information of a key matrix exchanged with status information of a current input language of the Korean / English switching key;

In the figure, an arrangement state conversion key 12 is separately provided on the upper left side, but it is possible to replace it with a Korean / English switching key. If the scan code corresponding to the toggle signal value is confirmed by the controller 1 as the Korean / English switch key 11 is pressed while the scroll lock is locked, the controller 1 By performing a subsequent step of changing the arrangement of the keyboard 10 keyboard by transmitting the keyboard layout value of the corresponding keyboard 10 to the key matrix input unit 2, the keyboard Korean-English key arrangement conversion is performed.

Here, scroll lock is locked as an identifier for distinguishing whether the use of the Korean / English switch key 11 is a toggle method for simple input or an object for using the array state conversion key 12. Although the state is used as a flag value, this is merely an implementation means that is selectively used because the scroll lock is less frequently used. In some cases, it is replaced by a home key or a function key of a low use frequency. It is natural that it can be done in the state where a specific signal of the function key is applied.

FIG. 4 is a reference diagram showing a part of scan code table information according to a keyboard arrangement, which will be described below.
