Abstract

PURPOSE: A Korean character input method is provided to enable a user to input both consonants and vowels using one key. CONSTITUTION: Consonants are primarily assigned to each key button. If a user presses a key button, a corresponding consonant is inputted. A key without an assigned grapheme is assigned as a vowel input activation key(2001). If the user presses the vowel input activation key and presses other keys, an appointed consonant or other vowel is inputted.

Description

HanalGeul Input method for Korean Text}

A related field of the present invention is a field of development of a simple input method of Hangul characters as a technical field related to an input device of a portable small digital device.

In the case of Hangeul, mobile phone has become more popular than any other characters. The reason lies in the diversity of the method of separating consonants and vowels, and the variety of ways of expressing each letter. Nevertheless, various methods exist to reduce the number of key presses as much as possible, and to provide a way for the user to conveniently enter text to reduce the distance the finger moves to press the key. . Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a method for maximizing the convenience of the user by representing the vowels of Hangul with a minimum of keys and reducing the number of keys that can represent consonants and vowels to a minimum.

The main effect of the present invention in inputting the Hangul, intuitively make the input of the vowel and minimize the number of keys required for the vowel input to the keypad of mobile phones and mobile devices having a limited number of keys as possible to conveniently input It is a subject of the present invention.

Minimize the number of keys for Korean vowel input, and assign a separate vowel input activation key to one key to intuitively arrange consonants and vowels.

The present invention is well known Hangul character input system is arranged so as to reduce the movement of the finger as possible regardless of the shape of the vowel, it was difficult to bring the user's intuition. On the contrary, the present invention designates consonants as the primary characters of all keys in order to minimize key movement so that they are input when each key is first pressed, and these consonants are collected separately from the designated keys. By specifying at least one key for input and setting it as a vowel input activation key, the number of keys for the Hangul alphabet can be minimized. In other words, after pressing the vowel input activation key, it is possible to input the vowel even if the consonant is already assigned. As the number of independent keys for the vowel collection is reduced, the total number of keys is reduced, and as a result, the user's convenience is further increased by minimizing the movement distance of the finger for inputting the Hangul alphabet.

Figure 7 shows the vowel structure 'ㅏ', 'ㅓ' when the keyboard structure (I) to which the vowel input amplification key of the present invention is applied to the naragle input system keyboard and the expansion key (801-corresponds to the 5th key on the keyboard) are pressed. , 'ㅗ', 'TT', 'ㅡ', 'ㅣ' show the location of the key (II) and naraggle keyboard (III).
Figure 8 shows the keyboard structure (I) to which the vowel input activation key of the present invention is applied to the character input system keyboard of Cheonjiin and the vowel input activation key (801-corresponds to the number 5 key on the keyboard). 키 ',' ㅗ ',' TT ',' ㅡ ',' ㅣ 'shows the position of the key is specified, and the character input keyboard is shown in Figure 8 (III).
9 is a keyboard structure using the vowel input activation key of the present invention, the arrangement of consonants is made according to the frequency of use and the consonant order of Korean characters. FIG. 9 (I) shows only representative characters assigned to each key. ) And (III) show the array of vowels assigned to each key when the vowel activation key is pressed once and twice. This may be applied to a touch screen using a virtual keypad (or a virtual keyboard) with a touch sensor function on the screen. FIG. 9 (II) shows that a finger once touches an area of a vowel input activation key of the virtual keypad on the screen. In this case, the virtual keypad (virtual keyboard) is shown on the screen. In this state, the finger moves to the designated area and is spaced apart from the touch screen, or the finger touches the collection input activation key area 901 and is spaced intact. If the next vowel touches the designated area and the finger is spaced in place, the specified vowel is entered at the position where the digit is spaced and the vowel array that was activated at the same time is changed to the consonant array screen of FIG. 9 (I). It is destroyed. Similarly, FIG. 9 (III) shows that when the finger touches the vowel input activation key region once and then touches the vowel input activation key region again, the fold input input activation state is set. Move the visible vowel to the designated area, then move your finger away from the touchscreen, or when the finger touches the vowel input activation key area 901, leave it as it is (from the touch screen), and then If the user touches an area designated by the laps other than 901 and the fingers are spaced apart, the laps are input and the vowel input active state disappears and the screen returns to FIG. 9 (I). One method of eliminating one vowel input activation state is to return to the state shown in FIG. 9 (I) when the region 902 in which the vowel is not designated is touched in the state as shown in FIG. 9 (II). The reason for providing this method is to provide a method that can be easily modified if the user accidentally touches the vowel input activation key area. The vowel input activation state is simply performed by touching the cancel button area on the virtual keypad (or virtual keyboard). It is to be able to release. Likewise, in the case of FIG. 9 (III), when the vowel is not designated, the region 902 is touched or when the 'release' 903 function is touched, the vowel input activation state can be released. In the keypad-type input device, as described above, the vowel input activation key is continuously pressed to release the activation state or the vowel input activation state can be released by simply pressing a key designated with the 'release' function.

FIG. 29 illustrates an arrangement of vowel keys that are activated when two left and right input activation keys are pressed.

The first configuration, which is the basis of the present invention, specifies a vowel input activation key in such a manner that a vowel input is input by pressing a specified consonant key so that the vowel input with the specified consonant key only when the vowel input activation key is pressed This is how to make it possible. A basic keyboard structure including this vowel input activation key 101 is shown in FIG. In the case of FIG. 1, the consonant array is easily inputted by assigning 'ㅁ', 'ㅇ', and 'ㅅ', which are frequently used, to one key so that each consonant can be input by pressing each key three times. I did it. In other words, in case of 'ㄲ', it is inputted by pressing No.1 key three times, and in case of '주어' and '4', it is inputted by pressing No.4 key twice and three times respectively.

The vowel shown in Figure 1 is not assigned to the vowels, in order to enter the vowels to enter the vowel input activation key 101, key 5, and then press a different key, these vowels are entered respectively. Fig. 2 (I) shows 'ㅗ' in place of the consonant characters originally assigned to the surrounding 2, 4, 6 and 8 keys when the vowel input activation key 5 is pressed. , 'ㅏ', 'ㅓ', and 'TT' are designated, and ',', 'ㅣ', 'ㅡ', and 'ㅣ' are alternately assigned to the 1, 3, 7, and 9 keys corresponding to each corner. Shows an array of collections. Peripheral key assignment arrangements of the vowels 'ㅏ', 'ㅓ', 'ㅗ', 'TT', 'ㅡ', and 'ㅣ' that are activated when the vowel activation key is pressed are not limited as shown in FIG. 2 (I). Any adjustments made by the user or device manufacturer are not a problem. However, the reason for designation as shown in FIG. 2 (I) is 'ㅏ' on the left, 'ㅓ' on the right, 'ㅗ' on the left, and 'ㅗ' on the bottom in the order of vowels. TT 'is intended to be arranged but does not limit the configuration of the present invention. Therefore, even if it arrange | positions like FIG.2 (II) and FIG.2 (III), there will be no problem. Even if these holes are arranged in a form other than a cross around the vowel input activation key, there is no problem. In addition, 'ㅢ', which is not a collection of holes, was also inserted into the vowel arrangement. This is an example to show that 'ㅡ' and 'ㅣ' can be inserted as a way to eliminate the inconvenience of having to input each of the following.

The above describes a method of inputting a vowel input activation key in the case of a single vowel. In the case of Korean, in addition to the hole vowel shown in FIG. 2, the multiple vowel 'ㅑ', 'ㅕ', 'ㅛ', and 'ㅠ' should also be available. This is not possible with the array of vowels shown in Figure 2, so you can enter these vowels using the input activation key as follows:

The first method for inputting a double vowel is to press the vowel input activation key twice, as shown in Fig. 3 (I), so that the key assigned to the single vowel is converted so that the double vowel can be input. to be. 'ㅐ', 'ㅕ', 'ㅛ', 'ㅠ' are not overlapping, but 'ㅐ' and 'ㅔ' with 3 or more strokes are located in the same direction as 'ㅑ' and 'ㅕ' respectively. 'And' ㅖ 'are located below' ㅏ 'and' ㅓ ', respectively, to facilitate the user's recognition. 3 (II) and 3 (III) show possible arrangements as input vowels. Furthermore, when pressing the vowel input activation key three times, it is possible to arrange additional vowel groups that can be input. However, remembering the number of cases in this case can be inconvenient, so reduce the number of presses as much as possible, and place only relevant vowels. It is preferable. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (I), in the case of 'ㅖ', the vowel input activation key is pressed twice, and then the number 9 key can be inputted, but 'ㅕ' (FIGS. 2 (I) and 3 (I)) can be input. For reference: Press the vowel input activation key twice and then press the 6 key) and 'ㅣ' (see Figure 2 (I)): Press the vowel input activation key once and then press the 3 or 9 key. If you configure the text input automata so that 'ㅖ' can be entered even if you press the button repeatedly), the user can select one of the two methods and the user can choose the convenient method. In other words, the method of inputting 'ㅕ' and 'ㅣ' continuously, which can be easily recognized by beginners, selects the method of directly inputting 'ㅖ' for experienced users, and minimizes the number of key presses and finger movements. To provide.

(Example 1)

In the keyboard structure shown in FIGS. 2 (I) and 3 (I), an example of inputting 'ya' will be described. The key pressing sequence is 6-5-5-4. Compared to the key press sequence 6-5-4 to input 'A', the first 5 key presses are the function to expand the whole vowel and the second 5 key presses are the function of transitioning from the single vowel activated state to the double vowel activated state. Will be in charge. That is, when the vowel input activation key is pressed twice to reach the fold vowel activation state, the vowels assigned to the hole vowels are assigned to the vowels corresponding to the vowels instead of the vowels. That is, in case of 6-5-5-4 pressing sequence, 'ya' is inputted.

[5-X] represents a single vowel 'ㅏ', 'ㅓ', 'ㅗ', 'TT', 'ㅡ' and 'ㅣ' and [5-5-X] means a double collection 'ㅑ', 'ㅕ' , 'ㅛ' and 'ㅠ'.

[5-X] (where 'X' is an arbitrary key where [5-X] constitutes a vowel if 'X' is not the 5th key and if 'X' is the 5th key then the next It is interpreted as a single vowel and in the case of [5-5-X], it is interpreted as a fold vowel. Therefore, in the automata configuration, the 5 key is connected with the key being pressed. It is interpreted as a key to form a vowel input. If the 5 key is pressed more than 3 times, the already pressed 2 key presses are lost and interpreted as 1 key press.The function of the vowel input activation key is cycled in the order of hole collection-> double collection-> hole collection according to the number of presses. Designation may be possible. Alternatively, the third press, if pressed more than three times, can be used to turn off the vowel input inactivity by clearing the vowel input active state. It is necessary to input consonants. If a user presses a vowel input activation key incorrectly, the vowel input activation key is pressed twice to enable consonant input.

When the vowel input is performed using the vowel input activation key of the present invention, it is preferable to display the vowel input activation state on the screen as shown in FIG. 4 when the actual vowel input activation key is pressed. The reason for this is that when the user presses the vowel input activation key, the vowel input active state can be distinguished, such as displaying the background color of the pointer (cursor) from transparent to yellow as shown in FIG. 4. This is because it is possible to determine whether the next key to input consonants or vowels, and if there is no indication that the vowel input is activated, the user may be confused. In particular, the method of distinguishing the hole collection input activation state (set the background color of the pointer to yellow) shown in FIG. 4 and the layer collection input activation state (the background color of the pointer changed to red) shown in FIG. If provided, the user will be able to perform clearer vowel input. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the input state is distinguished by changing the background color of the pointer. However, the shape of the pointer may be changed from the bracket form shown in FIG. 4 to the rectangular form. In the case of one, it is possible to distinguish the input states through a method such as displaying a hole collection input state when the number of squares is two, and displaying a double collection input state.

(Example 2)

This advantage of the present invention is more apparent when applied to the naragle consonant input system (Patent 10-0291838) developed by the Institute of Language Science. FIG. 4 shows a keyboard in which the vowel input activation key 701 of the present invention is applied after deleting the vowel leaving only the consonants in the keyboard arrangement of the naragle input system of Patent 10-0291838. It can be seen at a glance that the four keys (필요한), (ㅗ TT), (ㅣ), and (ㅡ) required for vowel input have been reduced to three in the Naragle input system. In the keyboard layout of the present invention, which uses only nine keys compared to the naragle character input system to be used, the motion of a finger is arranged by arranging the 'capture (add)' key and the 'disease (beep)' key on the 4th and 6th keys. In principle, it can be shown that it is possible to reduce significantly. For example, a narrative character input system to which the present invention is applied will be described as an example of a key pressing sequence for inputting a character of 'land'.

In the case of the naragle character input system shown in FIG. 7 (III), the sequence of pressing the numeric keys is as follows.

2->*->#->7-> 6

In this case, press No.2 key to select 'b', press '*' key to convert to 'ㄷ', then press '#' to create double consonant 'ㄸ', then press '7' to press 'ㅏ' And then press No. 6 key to enter 'ㅇ' to enter 'land'. When the total number of key presses is 5 and the distance between the keys is assumed to be 1, the moving distance of the finger calculated in the manner shown in FIG. 7 becomes 9.63.

On the contrary, in the modified Naragle character input system to which the vowel input system of the present invention shown in FIG. 7 (I) is applied, the sequence of pressing the numeric keys is as follows.

2->4->6->5->4-> 9 (for FIG. 7 (I))

In this case, press No.2 key to select 'b', press No.4 to convert to 'ㄷ', press No. 6 key to convert 'ㄸ', and press No.5 key to select vowel 'ㅏ' Press and 6 keys in succession to input 'ㅏ' and then press 9 key to enter 'ㅇ' and enter 'land'. When the total number of key presses is 6 and the distance between the keys is assumed to be 1, the moving distance of the finger calculated in the manner shown in FIG. 7 becomes 7.8. In other words, instead of increasing the number of presses once, the finger movement distance is reduced by 20%. This provides a way to enter all the letters with only nine keys in the keyboard structure shown in FIG. This is an advantage of the vowel input expansion key of the present invention. Moreover, it is possible to input Hangul alphabet with only nine keys, and in the case of a keyboard having 12 keys, additional functions can be added to the three keys, resulting in more efficient overall. For example, to enter a space key, a period (.) Or a question mark (?), You have to press the menu key or the navigation key to use the function of adding a stroke or plotting sound in the existing narrative. The # key, * key, etc. can be entered, the convenience is further increased. This is because it is not only the number of presses and the distance of finger movement required for the input of the Hangul alphabet, but an element to be compared as an element necessary for actual sentence input. Furthermore, the advantage of the present invention is that since the input of Korean words is possible with nine keys, after the keyboard is familiar, it is possible to easily input characters without looking at the keyboard, thereby bringing convenience of one-hand operation.

(Example 3)

In the present embodiment, the vowel input activation key of the present invention is applied to the character input system. 8 is a keyboard structure showing this case. In the Cheonjiin keyboard structure shown in Fig. 8 (III), the keys corresponding to Cheonji, Ji, and Phosphorus for vowel input are all used for different functions. The consonant collision problem and space key that have been pointed out are applied to the keys of the keypad, so that the moving key or the menu key is arranged in the center of the keypad, thereby increasing user convenience. The consonant collision problem, which is an uncomfortable element of Cheonjiin, is to press the 'jongjong' key after the consonant corresponding to the last word is input, and the input cursor moves to the next column and enables the same key to be input continuously. For example, this corresponds to the 'movement key' of the keypad input system in Cheonjiin. If you press this twice, it is also the same as moving the 'move key' to the center of the keyboard. For example, to enter the word "in your heart,"

4-5-4-4-5-7-4-5-6-5-3

In the case of Cheonjiin Hangul Character Input System, the sequence of key press is as follows.

0-1-2-0-3-0-0-(Movement Key)-0-2-1-1

This example clearly shows that the number of presses of the keys other than the move key is the same as 11 times, but the difference in movement distance is obvious at two points. The main factor that increases the moving distance in the cheonjiin input method is when the movement key is pressed due to the consonant collision, and the other is to assign the consonants 'ㅇ' and 'ㅁ' to the '0' key farthest from the vowel. Because However, in the present invention, the shift key for consonant conflict resolution is moved to the 6 key, which is the center of the keypad, and the key for the vowel is not required, so the '0' and 'ㅁ' assigned to the '0' key are assigned to the 4 key. As a result, all keys are adjacent to the center of the keyboard, and the movement to the next key at any time is confirmed by the touch of the finger without having to check the keyboard visually. This is because only thumb joint movement is made of convenience will be added. This is a notable advantage of the 9-key input method as in the present invention.

As described in the above embodiments, the configuration of the present invention is not compared to the consonants in which the vowels are assigned in comparison with the two typical character input methods, which are well known so far, the character input method and the naragle character input method. By assigning consonants and vowels to the same key together, the vowels forming the consonants and the vowels forming the initial consonants and the vowels forming the consonants are often separated into left and right or up and down because of this. Since the consonants and vowels are not arranged separately, the distance movement for the input of the initial and neutral or the neutral and the final can be relatively reduced, and the finger movement is significantly reduced compared to other Hangul inputs.

The second configuration of the present invention relates to the consonant array to which the vowel input method of the present invention is applied, and assigns one or two consonants to each key in consideration of the frequency of actual use of the arrangement of consonants. In FIG. 11, a large consonant is designated as a main character so that each key is input when it is pressed once, and the arrangement order is arranged in consonant order in Korean so that the user can easily understand. Therefore, the arrangement of consonants is 'a' 'b', 'ㄹ', 'ㅇㅁ', 'ㅂ', 'ㅅㅈ', 'ㅎ' in order, as shown in Figure 9, respectively, 1, 2, 3, 6 , 7, 8, and 9 keys were assigned, and in addition to these consonants, a function required for 'hard sound' input was assigned to key 4 so that all consonants were input. Pressing the key # 9 with 'ㅎ' with the finger is unnatural compared to other keys, so if possible, assign '#' and 'ㅈ' to '8' located in the middle of the keyboard. There is no difference, but the difference is that the number of presses is increased by one time for the input of 'ㅈ', so that 'ㅈ' is placed in the center column of the keyboard if possible. Similarly, in the case of the 7th key designated 'ㅂ', only one character is designated for the same reason as the 9th key for convenience of input. The rhymes 'ㅋ', 'ㅌ', 'ㄷ' and 'ㅊ' will be assigned as the last letter to the keys designated 'ㄱ', 'ㄷ', 'ㅂ' and 'ㅈ' respectively. In other words, in case of 'ㅋ' and 'ㄷ', press '1' and '7' key twice, and '입력' and 'ㅊ' are inputted. When the designated No.2 and No.8 key is pressed three times, it is input. In this designation, the conditions for all consonant inputs are satisfied as nine keys so that Hangul characters can be easily entered with one finger. Furthermore, in order to prevent consonant collisions in which 'ㄱ' should be entered as the final letter of the first letter and the first letter of the second letter, as in 'each', the function corresponding to 'move key' is assigned to a separate key. In order to prevent the finger from moving to the moving key to reduce the overall finger movement, separate the 'b' and 'c' assigned to the 2nd key and assign the '1' key to the '1' key and the '3' key to the 3rd key. A consonant arrangement method for assigning the function of the 'move key' to the number 2 key to which 'b' and 'c' are designated is shown in FIG. 10. The vowel arrangement applied to the consonant arrangements of FIGS. 9 and 10 corresponds to FIGS. 2 (II) and 3 (II). If 'b' and 'c' are separated and merged with 'ㄱ' and 'ㄹ', the increase in the number of pushes is expected.If possible, move 'B' from 'ㄱ' and 'ㄹ'. It is necessary to provide a method of designating a key 4 (indicated as '**' in FIG. 9 (I)) that performs an audible function. The actual consonant impulse occurs more rarely than when each key is used. When the hard function key is pressed twice, the movement key function is granted so that the double-pressing operation does not significantly affect the total number of key presses. The second highest 'b' can be specified as the first character of the key. Assigning '**' key, which is responsible for the horn function, to key 4, all consonants 'ㄱ', 'ㄷ', 'ㅂ', 'ㅅ', and 'ㅈ' for which the horn is required are arranged on the left side. The finger movement distance can be reduced. Similarly, it is advantageous to assign only one 'ㅎ' to key 9 as described above, but the reason why 'ㅈ' is assigned to the same key as 'ㅅ' is that Another reason is to assign only one 'ㅎ' to key 9.

'**', which is in charge of the horn function, is not only responsible for the horn conversion function that converts ㄱ into ㄲ, but also consonant collision caused by the consonant of the final consonant and the consonant of the next to be input assigned to the same key. It will also be in charge of preventing it. For example, in order to input the word 'go' to enter 'n' of 'liver' and 'c' of 'da', in the keyboard structure of FIG. 9, 'b' should be input and then press the move key. The function of the '**' key will be in charge. That is, the key press sequence for entering 'go' is as follows.

11 - 50 - 6 - 2 - 4 - 2 - 5 - 6

('ㄱ' + '+' + 'ㅇㅁ' + 'ㄴㄷ' + '**' + 'ㄴㄷ' + '+' + 'ㅇㅁ')

The expression '*' twice means the same consonant repetition in the meridian conversion function, but it can be understood as a meaning for inputting additional consonants when serving as a moving key to prevent consonant urges. And if the same consonants follow the horn, press the '**' key to bring the same effect. In the case of 'Ganda', 'b' has no consonant corresponding to the sound, so press the '**' key once, but if 'b' is used as a finality and a consonant like 'each', 'ㄲ' is entered by pressing '**', so pressing '**' once will bring an error. Therefore, if you want '**' to be in charge of consonant collision prevention function and horn conversion function, press '**' once to play the final and consonant collision prevention function, and press twice to play the horn conversion function. This can prevent cases where two functions are possible, such as 'each'. Therefore, the function of the '**' key is to configure the present invention to be in charge of the final, initial consonant collision prevention function and the hardening conversion function by pressing once and twice. As another consonant arrangement method of this configuration, it is shown in FIG. 12 that the vowel input method of the present invention is applied to the Hangul input method consonant system applied to the Motorola i290 model. In the keyboard layout, Hangul consonants are arranged in order, and in the case of rhythm, the method of inputting is given by pressing the key to which each meridian belongs. 9 or 10 has an advantage that can be more easily recognized, but not an array according to the frequency of use (especially 'ㅇ' in the case of the most commonly used consonants are designated as the second letter, In this case, even though it is used much more than '에도', it is inevitably increased as the second character is increased.) It can be seen that the number of presses and the movement distance of the finger are increased than in the case of the keyboard shown in FIG. For example, if you enter three phrases, 'I love you, hurry up, where are you', the keyboard of FIG. 9 has a total of 34 presses and a finger movement distance, whereas the keyboard of FIG. 12 has a press number and a finger movement distance, respectively. 40 and 33.4 both show an increase. Compared with FIG. 10 (number of pushes 37 and moving distance 33), the distance is similar but the number of presses is also increased. FIG. 13 shows the number of presses and finger movement distance data for Korean input methods that are typically applied to mobile phones that are commercially available on the Internet (http://rock1209.tistory.com/296). As can be seen at a glance, in the keyboard shown in FIG. 9 of the present invention, the finger movement distance is shorter than any other method. Since it is possible to input with nine keys, it is easily understood from the principle point of view, and this is the intention of the present invention, and FIG. 13 illustrates this purpose well. In the case of Cheonjiin, which users consider to be the most comfortable, the number of pushes is reduced to 37 even though the number of presses is the same, even if the number of presses is the same. Even though the finger movement distance is reduced to 37.2 (+ alpha; where alpha is the distance the finger moves to press the movement key due to consonant collision), the number of presses and the movement distance are 10% and 20, respectively, compared to the keyboard structure of FIG. Since the percentage is large, the convenience is found to be inferior to that of the keyboard of the present invention. It can be seen from the data in FIG. 13 that the convenience of use increases when any understanding of the vowels is made compared to any current keyboard layout. In particular, the average finger movement distance (finger movement distance accompanying the one-touch operation) shown in FIG. 13 shows the reason why Samsung's natural character input method is comfortable. In other words, Samsung Cheonjiin's text input method shows the convenience of pressing the key once and then moving the finger only one key away. The average distance is close to twice the distance between the keys, making it difficult to find. On the contrary, the present invention shows that the average moving distance is 0.86, which is smaller than 1, so that it is easier to find than the character input that is heaven and earth. In other words, it shows the reason that the characters can be input with 9 keys. Ergonomically, the 9 keys can be used for the whole key only by the joint movement of the thumb, so that the user can input without looking at the keyboard.

The third configuration of the present invention is that when the input method using the vowel input activation key of the present invention is applied to a virtual keyboard input system using a touch sensor, consonants and vowels can be simultaneously input as syllables. For example, in the existing keypad mobile phone, press the 1 key corresponding to 'ㄱ' to enter 'A', and then press the 5 key with vowel input activation function to enter 'ㅏ' and then press 6 times. Press key to input 'A'. In the case of an input device composed of a virtual keyboard using a touch sensor as compared to the keypad mobile phone, touch the area of No. 1 key to input 'ㄱ' and then touch the hand with the touch sensor (the screen of the touch screen mobile phone). Move to key area 5 to activate vowel input activation, then move to key area 6 and move your finger away from the touch sensor (screen for touchscreen phones) to complete the 'ga' input at once. to be. This replaces three touch gestures with one touch gesture, resulting in a dramatic increase in input speed. If you want to input 'sy' with this syllable input method, touch the key area 2 once, touch the second time, and then touch the hand without touching it from the touch sensor (the screen of the touch screen phone). Move to key area 5 to activate vowel input, then move to key area 6 and move your fingers apart to complete the input of 'Da', that is, touch the finger while the initial character of Korean characters is selected. It is possible to use the stroke method to select the desired vowel as it is without spaced apart.In case of single vowel, after vowel input is activated after vowel input, move the finger to the key area corresponding to the single vowel It is possible to input syllables that have consonants + single vowels, but in the case of layered vowels, unlike single vowels, one stroke Therefore, in the case of such a vowel, do not let go of the consonant first and move to the 5th key area to release the vowel input, then release your finger to make the vowel input active. When you touch the area and then release your finger, the input of the lap is completed.For example, to input 'Ya', touch the No. 6 key corresponding to 'ㅇㅁ' and move to the No. 5 area. If you move away from the touch sensor and then touch area 6 (in this case, 'ㅑ'), the input is completed, that is, the stroke is the same stroke as in the case of 'a' However, it is possible to easily input the lap collection by having only the operation cut off in the middle of the key area 5. This example merely shows that the vowel structure of the present invention is strok. It is possible to simultaneously input 'consonant + vowel' by the e method, so in order to input the consonant of this configuration in the character input method using the virtual keyboard, the input of the consonant is not necessarily separated from the touch sensor. Completion is the content of this configuration.

The fourth configuration of the present invention takes advantage of the characteristic of '**' of FIGS. 9 and 10 having the double consonant function of the above-described configuration by using the specificity of 'ㅇ' among Korean consonants to further facilitate the convenience of input. To increase. At the time of the creation of Hangeul, 'ㅇ' was divided into 'cho' and 'seong' 'cho', so the choseong 'ㅇ' was used as a component to maintain the vowel form without any actual sound value. In other words, 'ㅇ' is not used between consonants and consonants. Using this point is the heart of this configuration. That is, when inputting 'each' in the keyboard layout shown in FIG. 15, a problem arises in that the first syllable 'a' and the first syllable 'a' and the first syllable 'a' have to be entered by pressing the same first key. In this case, press the 1 key to input the first 'ㄱ' and then press the 4 key, and then press the 1 key again to enter 'ㄱ' twice. If you press the 1 key twice in a row without pressing the 4 key corresponding to 'ㅇ', you will get the result of typing 'ㅋ' without entering 'ㄱ' twice. There is no actual input of 'ㅇ' and it only serves as a navigation key to avoid consonant collisions. Furthermore, if you press the number 4 key corresponding to 'ㅇ' twice between consonants and consonants, you will be in charge of the first consonant to input the double consonants. This makes it possible to take charge of the double consonant as well as the function of the moving key because 'ㅇ' is not input between the consonant and the consonant twice in a row. For example, the key press sequence for inputting 'fast' to the keyboard layout of FIG. 15 is 7-4-4-5-6-3-4-3-6, where 'ㅃ' of the first syllable 'red' In order to avoid this, the 4th key was pressed twice for input, and the initial syllable 'ㄹ' of the second syllable is the same as the finality of the first syllable 'red', so that the 3rd key cannot be pressed continuously. Input is completed by pressing key 4 in the middle of input. Since this method does not really affect the input of 'ㅇ' at all, it is necessary to press the vowel input activation key in the keyboard layout shown in FIG. This makes it possible to use the vowels ㅣ and ㅡ as consonants. Therefore, in case of 'ㅣ' which has the highest frequency of use among vowels, it is possible to input by one push operation, which brings the effect of further increasing the efficiency of input due to the decrease of input times. Furthermore, in the keyboard structure of FIG. 9, ')' and 'ㅘ' (1502) are designated where 'ㅣ' and 'ㅡ' are arranged, and 'TT', 'ㅓ', and 'ㅗ' are used to input these vowels. And 'ㅏ' can be input in two pressing operations, which should be input in two pressing operations. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 15 (III), 'we' and 'why' (1503) may also be input. The input is made in three pushes, which makes the input much more efficient.

A fifth constitution of the present invention is that consonant collisions occurring when a multi-tapping method is inputted in sequence according to the pressing order by assigning several consonants to one key (the final letter of the preceding letter and the Consonant array method to prevent the case where the first consonants are assigned to the same key). To this end, the present invention designates a separate selection function key. The function of this selection function key allows selection of the remaining non-letter characters other than the letter letter assigned to each key. In the keyboard layout shown in Fig. 16 (I), only the first letter is displayed on each key. When each key is pressed, the first letter is input, and the remaining non-letter letters are the (*) keys, which are optional function keys. It is input when you press key after pressing. For example, to input 'ㅋ', press the 'ㄱ' key and then press the '*' key. Likewise, in case of 'ㄲ', it is inputted by pressing 'a' key and then pressing '*' key twice in succession. Thus, in the keyboard arrangement shown in Fig. 16 (I), the main letter and the non-letter letter assigned to each key are as follows. The characters in parentheses are arranged in order as non-letter characters.

The 1st key-ㄱ (ㅋ, ㄲ), the 2nd key-ㄴ, the 3rd key-ㄷ (ㅌ, ㄸ),

Key 3-ㄹ, key 6-ㅁ,

Key 7-ㅂ (ㅍ, ㅃ), key 8-ㅅ (ㅆ), key 9-ㅈ (ㅊ, ㅉ),

0 key-ㅇ (ㅎ).

In addition, in the case of a keypad cellular phone having 12 keys, the selection function key may be handled by the (*) key or (#), which may be determined according to the user's convenience. In the keyboard having such a consonant arrangement, Korean input is as described in the first configuration of the keypad mobile phone, and the input of the consonant is as described above. It is shown in FIG. 17 that the syllable input described in the third configuration of the present invention is applied to such a keyboard arrangement. As shown in FIG. 17, when inputting a 'lady', the first letter 'a' starts with a finger touching the 'ㅇ' key, and then passes through a vowel input activation key (+) region, where 'ㅏ' is designated ' ㅁ 'key to reach the area and then space apart your finger. In the case of 'A', the finger touches the 'a' key, passes through the vowel input activation key (+) area, reaches the 'ㅁ' key area where the 'ㅏ' is designated, and then spaces the finger. Finally, for Mr., touch the 'ㅅ' key and then move your finger apart. Touch the '*' key to change the input character from 'ㅅ' to 'ㅆ' and then Instead of entering the vowel input activation key (+) area to reach the designated ㄷ key area, and then spaced apart your fingers, the input of 'seed' is completed. In FIG. 17, a black circle means touch-space (hereinafter, a black circle means 'touch-space' operation in the case of a touch screen, and a pressing action in the case of a keypad). The starting point of the bar curve indicating the movement path in contact with the touch sensor is the point at which the contact starts and the point at which the arrow is located indicates the last point at which the finger is disconnected. In the syllable input method, as shown in FIG. 18, a method of facilitating the input of the layered collection is further possible. This is to maximize the user convenience by providing several options. This is described as a method of inputting 'ya', and the first method is to touch the 'ㅇ' key as shown in FIG. 18 (I), spaced apart (①) and then double-touch the vowel input activation key. After going through (②, ③), finally touch 'ㅁ' key and spaced it (④) to complete 'ya' input. Since the touch-separation process is the same as the push-separation operation in the keypad mobile phone, the process of inputting 'ya' in the keypad mobile phone is the same as FIG. 18 (I). However, the curve with arrows of 18 (II) ~ (V) means movement in the state where the finger touches the touch sensor, so it is not applicable to the keypad and is only useful for the virtual keyboard system using the touch sensor. In Fig. 18 (II), the process ① is an input of 'ㅇ', the process ② is a short vowel activation process, and the process ③ is a double vowel activation process and the 'ㅑ' input process. If you touch-distance the 'ㅁ' key immediately after the ② process, 'A' is input. ③ Because the first contact point in the process is the vowel input activation key area, ③ the process of steps 3 and 4 of FIG. It's the same effect as doing it at the same time. Therefore, the touch-spaced process is omitted once, thereby increasing input efficiency. Likewise, the process ① of FIG. 18 (III) has the same effects as the process ① and ② of FIG. 18 (I), and the process ② of FIG. 18 (III) has the same effect as the processes ③ and ④ of FIG. 18 (I). The effect is that the two touch-space processes are omitted. And finally, as shown in Fig. 18 (IV), the vowel also converts the short vowel to the vowel by using the selection function key (*) as well as the consonant, so that the user can input the vowel by the same mechanism as the selection of the consonant. As a consideration, the inputs of 'ah' and 'ya' go through the same trajectory and touch-separation process, and in the case of 'ya', the selection function key is touch-separated at the end to bring the advantage of simplifying, and FIG. 18 (I) ~ Even if 'A' is input due to some error in the process of (III), it is possible to provide a method of modifying only the touch-spaced selection function key without modifying from the beginning. After inputting the short vowel shown in FIG. 16, if the area of the selection function key is touch-spaced, the corresponding vowels are inputted. 'ㅢ' is inputted, and after entering 'ㅏ', 'ㅓ', 'ㅜ' and 'TT', touch-spaced the '*' key area and then 'ㅑ', 'ㅕ', 'ㅛ', 'ㅠ' This is how to input each. The finger movement in the touch state indicated by the curve of FIG. 18 among syllable input methods is not applicable to the keypad mobile phone, but a vowel that can be input when the vowel activation key is touched once by using the '*' key (FIG. 16 (I)) When the vowel group shown in FIG. 2 is touched twice, a function of changing the vowel group (vowel group shown in FIG. 16 (II)) to be inputted can be implemented.

The sixth aspect of the present invention is to provide a method of selecting and inputting 21 vowels of Korean characters by touching the vowel input activation key region up to three times instead of the combination of the single vowel + the single vowel or the vowel vowel. As shown in FIGS. 19 (I), (II), and (III), a single vowel group (ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅗ, TT, ㅡ, ,, ㅔ, ㅐ 8 characters when touching the vowel input activation key once-FIG. 19 (I)) can be selected and double-touch to select and input the group of groups (ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅛ, ㅠ, ㅢ, ㅖ, ㅒ, 7 characters-Fig. 19 (II)), When touched, a method of inputting a vowel group (ㅚ, ㅘ, ㅙ, ㅟ, ㅝ, ㅞ, 6 characters-Fig. 19 (III)) can be selected. The consonant array is arranged around the vowel input activation key as shown in Fig. 19 (I), and unlike the selection function key 1802 in Fig. 18, the consonant array is input in a multi-tap manner in the consonant array of Fig. 19 (* In the case where the key 1902 is in charge of a movement key for preventing consonant collision, the number of touches of the vowel input activation key can be reduced by combining the (*) key with the vowel input activation key. That is, without touching the vowel input activation key three times to input the vowel belonging to the double vowel group of FIG. 19 (IV), by touching the (*) key and then touching the vowel input activation key 1901, two touches are performed. It is to be able to select a vowel group. As a result, the (*) key 1902 plays a role corresponding to two touches of the vowel input activation key 1901 to reduce the number of touches. This can be applied to the keypad mobile phone as well. It is possible to finish the trouble of pressing the vowel input activation key three times by pressing twice ((*) key once + vowel input activation key). Will be provided. In Fig. 19, the function of (*) is responsible for the function of the shift key to prevent consonant collision, so that (*) executes the input field movement between the consonant and the consonant, but when the vowel is input after the (*) key, It is responsible for pressing the vowel input activation key twice rather than moving it. However, in the virtual keyboard input method using the touch sensor, even if the (*) key is touch-spaced, the vowel collection group should not be displayed on the screen until the vowel input activation key is touched. It may be entered. If the (*) key of FIG. 19 is responsible for the function of the selection function key as shown in FIG. 18, the (*) key can no longer have the effect of touching the vowel input activation key twice. This is because when the (*) key functions as a selection function key, it is necessary to touch-space the (*) key and then touch the vowel input activation key for the short vowel input. This is because there is a contradiction between the two functions implemented in the same process. 20 illustrates an arrangement structure of vowels when the keyboard layout of FIG. 19 is changed to a horizontal mode. The advantages of the vowel input activation keys (1901, 2001) in the keyboard arrangement of FIGS. 19 and 20 constitute periods, commas, and question marks that constitute a separate menu key on a virtual keyboard using a touch sensor. Even if you do not bring up the symbol input keyboard by touching it with your finger, as shown in Figs. 19 (II) and 20 (II), the punctuation marks are separated from the vowel input activation keys or touch-spaced. It provides a way to enter selections at once. In the case of a keypad mobile phone, in order to input '?', '.', ',', The vowel input activation key is pressed, and in the case of FIG. 19, the 'ㅇ', 'ㅈ', 'ㅎ' keys are pressed. In the case of pressing 'ㄹ', 'ㅂ', 'ㅎ' key, sentence marks are entered instead of these consonants.

In the seventh configuration of the present invention, instead of the '*' key used in the method of reducing the number of times of pressing the vowel input activation key of the vowel input activation key provided in the sixth configuration (in the case of a virtual keyboard using a touch screen) Provides a method of using a vowel input activation key. As shown in Fig. 21 (III), the vowel input activation key is input after inputting a single vowel instead of pressing the vowel input activation key twice in succession (two touch-spaced operations in the touch screen method). If the user inputs the multiple vowels by pressing the button once more, as shown in Fig. 22 (IV), the vowel input activation key is pressed twice in succession to input the double vowels. That is, all vowels can be entered by pressing the vowel input activation key twice. However, when inputting the vowels ('ㅑ', 'ㅕ', 'ㅛ', 'ㅠ', 'ㅢ', 'ㅒ', 'ㅖ') in Fig. 22 (III), It is impossible to input each short vowel consecutively. For example, in order to input 'ㅗ' and 'ㅏ' consecutively to input 'ㅘ', the result of inputting 'ㅛ' and 'ㅁ' instead of 'ㅘ' in the automata configuration of FIG. It is brought. In order to input 'ㅗ', press the vowel input activation key on the keyboard shown in Fig. 22 (I), press the key 'ㄷ', and then press the vowel input activation key and key 'ㅁ' to input 'ㅏ'. This is because the vowel input activation key press action for entering 'ㅏ' does not bring the vowel input activation, but rather changes the already entered vowel 'ㅗ' to the superposition '음'. ㅁ 'is to input the consonant' ㅁ 'as it is. In order to input '직' and 'ㅏ' to input 'ㅘ' even if the number of pushes is increased to increase the intuitiveness of the arrangement of the user's vowels, the configuration of the automata is illustrated in FIG. Same as (IV)] may be changed as shown in FIG. 23 (IV-1). In other words, if the vowel input activation key is pressed twice, the next two push keys are to enter the characters corresponding to the vowels. The key pressing method applied to the keypad keypad of FIG. 22 may be applied to the touch screen as it is, but the dragging operation is used to reduce the number of touches. FIG. 24 (II) shows that two touches can be replaced by one drag operation in the same manner as in FIG. 22 (II), and FIG. 24 (III) shows one drag operation. It shows that 'ㅠ' is input to the touch-separating operation that follows. Furthermore, FIG. 24 (III-1) shows that all the multiple collections can be input by one drag operation. However, FIG. 24 (III-1) has a higher probability of generating an error than FIG. 24 (III). The reason for this is shown in Fig. 24 (III), that the end point of the drag operation is clear, so that the single vowel is accurately determined, and accordingly, the lap is correctly determined. However, although FIG. 24 (III-1) has an advantage that the operation is not broken, it is possible to simultaneously pass not only 'TT' but also 'ㅓ' and 'ㅡ' during the finger drag operation, which is precisely a movement trajectory like a stylus pen. It is suitable for the case, and it is not preferable if the trajectory such as a finger is not correct. Finally, FIG. 24 (IV) shows that the input of the double vowel is completed by a drag operation following a single touch-spaced operation. The characteristic of the input double vowel is a combination of a single vowel corresponding to the start and end positions of the drag operation. Is determined. The advantage of the double vowels, unlike the double vowels, is that the end point of the drag is clear, so the point passing in the middle is not a problem. For example, when entering 'why' as shown in FIG. 27 (IV), not only 'ㅗ' but also 'ㅣ' and 'ㅏ' are used during the dragging operation. Is only 'ㅗ' so that an input error that may occur in FIG. 24 (III-1) is not a problem. The advantage of such a drag operation is that the 'touch-separation' process can be omitted so that all the vowels can be input in a single drag operation, which is illustrated in FIGS. 25 and 26. The difference between FIG. 25 and FIG. 26 is only a case where the consonant and the vowel arrangements are in the vertical mode and in the horizontal mode. The input methods for the single vowel, the double vowel, and the double vowel are the same except that the direction is changed by 90 degrees. When the vowel input method using the virtual keyboard of the touch screen is combined with the third configuration of the present invention, it is possible to simultaneously input the initial and the neutral in one drag operation. An example of such a 'consonant' + 'vowel' input is shown in FIG. 27, where FIG. 27 (I) is 'O', FIG. 27 (II) is 'Yo', and FIG. 27 (III) is 'Why' input process. FIG. 27 (II-1) shows a more accurate input than the process of FIG. 27 (II) by inputting 'O' to input the fold 'Yo' and then touch-spaced the vowel input activation key once again. It becomes possible. For example, the trajectory of the finger shown in FIG. 27 (II) accurately passes through the 'ㅏ' or 'ㅣ' area rather than moving directly from the vowel input activation key area to the 'ㅗ' key area. In contrast to the process of inputting 'right' or 'right', the finger trajectory of FIG. 27 (II) is located at the position of 'ㅗ' even when the finger traverses the middle of the 'ㅏ' or 'ㅣ' key region. This is because 'o' is entered exactly as it is spaced from. Therefore, 'consonant' + 'vowel' input method according to this configuration provides a way to easily input Hangul with a single drag if you are aware of the positions of eight single vowels. It is specifically defined to ensure accurate vowel input. Furthermore, as shown in the first configuration of the present invention, the drag input method is shown in FIG. 28 to correspond to the pressing operation of the keypad 1: 1, and each number is a sequence of pressing operations. That is, keypad pressing operations corresponding to the single vowel ('o'), the double vowel ('yo'), and the double vowel ('why') of FIGS. 27 (I), (II) and (III) are shown in FIG. 28 (I), It is shown in (II) and (III). 27 (II) and 27 (II-1) have the same keypad pressing operation, whereas in FIG. 27 (III), the keypad pressing operation is shown in FIGS. 28 (III) and 28 (III-1). Bar and two cases can be made. FIG. 28 (III-1) shows the configuration of FIG. 22 and FIG. 28 (III) shows the method according to the configuration of FIG. 23 (IV-1).

A seventh aspect of the present invention provides a method of simplifying vowel input by assigning a vowel input activation key to two keys. As shown in FIG. 29, when the arrangement of the keys is long and stretched from side to side, the movement of a finger for inputting a vowel is inconvenient when there is only one vowel input activation key. The vowel input can be made easily by placing them one by one. In general, when the key arrangement is made as shown in FIG. will be. Furthermore, the consonant selection keys are arranged on the left (2903) and the right (2904) to easily select non-letter characters assigned to each key, and the '@ (2905)' key located in the center can perform various functions. have. For example, it can be specified as a 'space' or 'cancel' key, or it can be used as a menu key to enter various symbols by adding an extension.

Eighth configuration of the present invention is to act as a vowel input activation key in the case of spaced apart after moving a certain linear distance from the point where the first touch sensor is touched during consonant input. (This straight line distance corresponds to the radius of the circle centered on the first touch point, and the area outside the circle created by this radius becomes the vowel input activation area.) The consonant is selected when the first finger touches the touch sensor. If the fingers are spaced in this state, the selected consonants are input, and the consonants can be input continuously. If a distance is too short from the first touched position (this distance is too short, The vowel input window can be activated by the movement of, and if the distance is too big, it will cause inconvenience to activate the vowel input window. Therefore, it can be changed according to the user's convenience.) Input can be executed. This is explained as the keyboard layout of FIG. 20 as follows. As shown in the consonant input window of FIG. After the finger moves to the vowel input activation key to activate the vowel input window (Fig. 20 (II)), the user must experience the inconvenience of returning the vowel 'ㅐ' to the designated area. With this configuration, however, simply touch 'ㅎ' and move your finger to the key area where '상태' is assigned to move away from the touch sensor, and then touch 'area' again to enter 'Sea'. It will be possible. (However, in this case, the finger movement distance for vowel input activation should be set smaller than the distance from the area designated 'ㅎ' to the area designated 'ㅐ'.) After inputting consonants, the user can use both hands to input a designated vowel in the right area of the touch sensor, thereby providing a method of increasing convenience and efficiency at the same time. If this is not the configuration because the finger is in contact with the touch sensor to move from left to right, or to bring the inconvenience to move from right to left. For example, if you want to input 'dog', touch the upper left area with 'b' assigned with your left hand thumb, then move more than the linear travel distance to activate the vowel input window. Touching the designated touch sensor area will complete the input of 'ㅐ'. Similarly, if you want to enter 'DE', you don't have to move a lot of distance to the area where 'ㅔ' is assigned through the vowel input activation key to enter 'ㄷ' Touch ㄷ 'and move more than the distance corresponding to the vowel input activation radius and then move away. If you touch the' ㅔ 'area with your left thumb, you need to move a long distance using one finger. Can be eliminated. Therefore, when the character input is made according to the present configuration, the movement distance of the finger is reduced and the effect of further reducing the finger movement distance by using both hands.
