Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an alternative input to a mobile communication device. [Prior Art] Mobile communication devices (such as wireless phones) have become an indispensable part of daily life. For example, when a user is away from a stationary communication device such as a home or office wired telephone, the user typically uses the mobile communication device to make and receive calls. In some instances, when the user communicates with another user, the user is accustomed to using the wireless communication device as the main communication device because of the convenience and functionality of the wireless communication device. The communication technology is increasing day by day. For example, traditionally, users only use wireless communication devices for telephone communication, and advanced requirements have emerged to provide a variety of other communication technologies, such as text messages and emails. However, the inclusion of these additional communication technologies on mobile communication devices with traditional form factors may result in large and reduced suitability for mobile applications of these devices. For example, when traditional mobile communication devices are used, the traditional input devices used in communication technology may reduce the adaptability. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses an alternative input to a mobile communication device. In a 201106672 implementation, a mobile communication device includes a display device having a touch screen function, a keyboard having a plurality of body buttons, and one or more modules, wherein the physical buttons include a dedicated button and The qwerty arrangement arranges the alphabetic keys. The one or more modules are configured to output a user interface to select a dedicated button on the display device. The user interface has a plurality of portions, and the portions are provided by the touch screen function A selection is made to produce an input of a respective emoji in a plurality of emojis. In one implementation, it is determined that one of the keyboards of one of the mobile communication devices has a physical letter button selected #. If the entity letter button is not selected within a specified time, enter one of the letters corresponding to the entity letter button. If the entity letter button is selected within the - specified phase 6, the mobile communication device is displayed with the letter - instead of the input, the display of the substitute input can be selected by S 'to substitute the input of the input . The present invention has been described in terms of a simplified form and is described in the following embodiments. The above descriptions are not intended to suggest key features or basic features of the claimed subject matter, nor are they intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. [Embodiment] = People are continually trying to improve the functionality of mobile communication devices, such as game devices, wireless telephone installations, and calendar devices. For example, users can maintain a single layer, an address list 201106672, and transfer. And receiving text messages, accessing the Internet, transmitting and receiving emails, taking photos, and transmitting status messages (such as status updates) of a social network. However, due to the traditional form factor that maintains the "portability" of the device, the interaction between the new functions in conventional mobile communication devices can be difficult. In general, small buttons cause use. The difficulty, and/or the large form factor that provides sufficient space for each button on the keyboard, will make portability smaller and smaller. For example, a "qwerty" keypad on a mobile communication device has a limited space for each button on a standard keyboard, such as a desktop environment for inputting a Latin keyboard. Therefore, the size of the buttons and/or the number of buttons contained on the device is limited and often needs to be balanced between the two, such as the number of buttons and the expected size of the button. Therefore, traditional manufacturers of QWERTY mobile communication devices (such as wireless handsets) may load the second and third power moonlights on the marked portion of the button, such as most buttons. For example, each button has three functions 'The already small button must contain three labels (such as symbols) on it to describe each function. Therefore, the load of the physical button having the second and third functions can make the keyboard as a whole complicated. At this point, the QWERTY keyboard of a traditional mobile communication device is often locked in business rather than consumer use. Therefore, the inclusion of an extended function on each button may make it more difficult to find the desired button function. For example, the desired button function may be hidden in a button function sea, which cannot be used equally by the user. 201106672 In one or more implementations, the functionality of a physical button (such as a QWERTY keyboard) is combined with a display device (such as a touch screen) that is pressed by the physical button to the display device to offload the input replacement function ( As an alternative input). For example, a dedicated hardware button may be used to load a library of functions for displaying the second and third functions on the display device. Example =, a button marked as a punctuation smiley ";)" can be used to load punctuation apostrophes and / or emoji. Thus, the physical keyboard can be simplified to include the first and second functions used by the ten to make these functions easy to use and frequently used, thereby providing a keyboard with increased acceptability in the consumption space. Moreover, these techniques can be used to enhance the flexibility of the mobile communication device to provide special characters (e.g., second and/or third functions) for a particular location. For example, 'usually in a particular geographic location enables characters to be recognized. Instead of resetting the physical keyboard, it is better to use the touch screen function of the mobile communication device to select the characters so that the characters can be output. The output of the second and third functions that are not presented on a physical keyboard using the display device will be further discussed in Figures 2, 3, and 5. In one implementation, at least one physical button on a keyboard of a mobile communication device is set to be selectable to carry an additional function, the additional = can be used for a physical button, and may or may not be on the physical button be appointed. For example, a user can press and hold a button, and have a chamber character that is automatically loaded with the button to be associated with one of the physical buttons. For example, in the Spanish word "Μ阳 201106672", the tilde character "~" can be used in conjunction with the design. To load the placode symbol character, the user can press and continue to press "Ν" on the keyboard to upload a human-caliber symbol-derived set on the display device. - The user can then select from the derived set, for example using a touch screen or other indicator control device. In this way, the confusion caused by the multi-function label on the keyboard can be improved and the force b can be used by the user. Other embodiments of various embodiments may also be considered in detail, and will be discussed in Figures 4 and 6. In the following discussion, various embodiments of a mobile communication device, such as a radiotelephone, will be described. In addition, the various functions that can be used by the mobile communication device are performed in each embodiment as it is in other embodiments, as can be practiced in the embodiments. Thus, the practice of the examples illustrates various implementations that may be considered. Further, although a mobile communication device having one or more modules provided with a telephone function has been described, various other mobile devices such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) can also be considered. , mobile music player-specific communication devices, portable game devices, and the like. Embodiments FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of an embodiment of a mobile communication device 102 in accordance with one or more embodiments of a device, feature, and system for mobile communication. The mobile communication device 102 is operable to take a plurality of configurations, including a configuration in which the device has been closed, and an embodiment in which the configuration of the device is turned on as shown in the first circle. The mobile communication device 102 can be further configured to include a first housing 104 and a second housing 1〇6 connected through the rails 108 such that the first housing 104 and the second housing 106 can move relative to each other ( For example, slip). Although the guide rails have been described above, various other movable connection techniques, such as a pivot, a hinge, etc., should be easily and explicitly considered. The first housing 104 includes a display device 11 〇, and the display device ι1 〇 can be used to output various types of data, such as a utterer identification data, information about a text message as shown, an email, a multimedia message, and the Internet. Browse, play games, music, videos, and more. In the illustrated implementation, 'by composite touch screen functions such as: capacitive, surface acoustic wave, resstive, optical, strain gauge ), dispersive signals, ac〇ustic pulses, and other touch screen functions, the display device i can also be configured to act as a wheeling device. As shown, the second housing 1 6 has a keyboard 112 that can be used to provide wheeling to the mobile communication device 102. Although the keyboard 112 is illustrated as a QWERTY keyboard, various other embodiments are contemplated, such as a keyboard that follows a conventional telephone keypad arrangement (eg, a numeric keypad of twelve keys that can be found on a basic telephone) ), keyboards configured in other languages (such as Cyrillic), and so on. As in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the 201106672 first outer casing 1〇4 and the second outer casing 1〇6 of the mobile communication device 1〇2 are approximately square. For example, a plane defined by an outer surface of the display device 110 may be parallel to the surface of the approximately square-shaped outer casing 1() 4, which may be associated with the display by the display % + M ^ Only the planes of the TM 10 are the same or different. In other words, the plane of the first outer casing 104 is parallel to the other surface of the display device 11'. The width and height of the plane are roughly one-to-one. Similarly, the second ... 6 can be considered as a square along a plane and the plane is parallel and/or identical to an outer surface of the keyboard (4) on the second casing (10) of the fourth casing (10). The mobile communication device 102 can employ a "closed configuration" by sliding the housing together using the guide ι 8 such that the first housing 104 covers the second housing 106. Thus, the keyboard 112 placed on the second casing 1 (6) can be covered and become incapable of interacting with a user of the mobile communication device 1〇2. In a practical implementation, the action device 206 is in the closed configuration, and the function of the phone can still be used, such as when a call is received. As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1, in the "on" configuration, the first housing 1〇4 is moved by the second housing 106 using the rails 1〇8 (eg, slide). In the configuration of this embodiment, at least a majority of the keys in the keyboard ΐ2 are exposed so that the exposed keys can be used to provide input. The open configuration causes an unfolded form factor of the mobile communication device 102 to be in contrast to the form factor of the mobile communication device 102 in the closed configuration. In one implementation, the first outer casing 104 and the second outer casing 106 are used to define the unfolding shape factor, and the 10 [S1 201106672 is parallel to the plane of the first outer casing 104 and the second outer casing 106 and the other The implementation can also be considered in detail. This form factor employed by the mobile communication device 102 can be adapted to support a wide variety of features. For example, the keyboard 112 is shown as a support-QWERTY configuration. This form factor is particularly convenient for the user to utilize the aforementioned functions of the mobile communication device 102, such as writing text, playing games, confirming e-mail, browsing the web, providing status messages to a social network, and the like. In the mobile communication device 102+ of Fig. 1, a part of the keys of the keyboard 112 are shown as having various functions. For example, a digital keypad can be provided in the QWERTY arrangement, which will respectively be "w", "e", "r", "s", "d", "f", "z", "x" "e", "." means "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "〇广借The number is obtained by pressing the "ALT" button on the keyboard 112. Other embodiments of various formulas are also contemplated, and embodiments thereof may be found to be associated with the following figures. The mobile communication device 1〇2 is also shown as including a communication module 114. The communication module 丨 14 represents the function of the mobile communication device and communicates via the network 116. For example, the communication module 114 can include a telephone function to make and receive calls. The communication module 114 can also include a variety of other functions, such as generating a short message service (short message)

(MMS) messages, status messages for social networks, and more. For example, a user can generate a status message to communicate with a social networking website via the 201106672 network 116. The social networking website can then post the status message to the "friends" of the user, for example, the friends can receive via a computer, a separate mobile communication device, or the like. Various other embodiments are also contemplated, such as blogging, instant messaging, and the like. The communication module 114 can further represent a user interface module 11 8 ' which is a performance characteristic of the mobile communication device 102 to generate, output and manage the user interface 120 on the display device 110. . For example, the user interface ι2〇 shown in FIG. 1 is set to SMS text messaging, and a user of the mobile communication device 1〇2 communicates with another mobile communication through the network 116. A pair of conversations between another user on the device. As mentioned above, in a keyboard having second and third functions, the conventional load of the physical buttons may cause the keyboard as a whole to be complicated. In addition, the inclusion of an alternate function indicator on each physical button may make it difficult to find a desired button, such as the desired button function may be buried in a button sea. Thus, the user interface module 118 can separate the functions 122, such as by using the physical button input 124 to enable a portion of the function 122 to be used, and the alternate function can be used via the display button input 126. Thus, the user interface module 118 can utilize the user interface 12G to provide an alternate input without the clutter of the keyboard H2, which will be further discussed in the following figures. In general, any of the functions described herein can be implemented using a combination of the above-described implementations using software, firmware, [S] 12 201106672 hardware (such as fixed logic), and manual processing f. The terms "module, force" and "logic" as used herein generally refer to a combination of software, toughness, hardware, or combination of soft and firmware. In the case of software implementation, the module, functional or logical representation of instructions (such as code), in a computer with - or multiple processors (such as CPU < CPUS) - or a computer Perform specific tasks on the system. The instructions can be stored in one or more physical computer readable memory devices. The alternative input technology feature to be described below is platform-independent, i.e., the technology can be implemented on a variety of commercial computer platforms having a variety of processors. The second circle shows that the embodiment implementation 2 (10) is output from the mobile communication device S 1G2 in the figure - the user interface, and the user interface is set to use the functionality of the display device to achieve the input of the alternative function. . The keyboard 112 includes a plurality of physical buttons including layout letter buttons in accordance with the qWERty arrangement as previously described. The sub-collection of the physical keys in the keyboard H2 includes letters and numbers, which can be used to perform the round. For example, the physical buttons respectively represent "w", "ej, "r", "s", "d", "f", "z", "x", "c", "." as Share the numbers "., "., "., "heart, "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "〇". The numbers can be entered in a variety of ways, such as by simultaneously pressing the ALT button and one or more of the subsets, by pressing the ALT button and the "w" button (on which Marked with the number), the number key 201106672 can be entered. Thus, in this embodiment, a user can easily provide an input of letters or numbers by directly and completely interacting with the keyboard 112. In this embodiment, the mobile communication device 102 can be configured to "offload" instead of inputting to the display device 110 for input. For example, a user can select a dedicated physical button 202 (represented as containing The use of one of the emoticons formed by the punctuation marks '' causes a plurality of portions 204 to be displayed on the user interface 120 to provide an alternate input. The alternate inputs representing this embodiment contain non-alphanumeric characters such as punctuation and emoticons. Punctuation marks are symbols that are different from letters or numbers and are used in writing languages (such as "; j ). Emoji is used to express facial expressions by using punctuation such as ":)", punctuation and Letters such as ":p" and not using punctuation marks such as "© " etc. In this embodiment, the portion 204 is represented as a button, which can be selected using the touch screen function of the display device. For example, the portion 2〇4 in FIG. 2 includes a punctuation button, which can be selected by touching a display device with a finger, using a stylus, etc., to create a different The input. Although the touch screen function has been described, various other functions can be utilized to select the function displayed on the display device 110, such as a cursor control device. In the embodiment, the user interface module and ii 8 Using the display device 110 to achieve "unloading" instead of the rounding, which includes punctuation marks and through respective punctuation buttons, for example, including "@", "#", "$", [S] 14 201106672 &" , "<", ">", "/", "?" and "!". The user interface 120 also includes a button that is displayed as containing the emoji "◎". In one embodiment, the display image of the button can be selected in the user interface 120 to cause the emoticon to be output directly, such as by pressing the display device to use the touch screen function. In another embodiment, the button can be selected to access a sub-menu having a plurality of emoticons, which will be further discussed in the following figures. FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment implementation 300 that sets a user interface to provide an alternate input of a plurality of emoticons, and the user interface outputs to correspond to the interaction of the user interface 第20 of FIG. . In this embodiment, the user interface 120 includes a plurality of portions, each of which has a respective emoticon ' and which can be selected such that the individual emoticons are output. For example, the display image of the button 304 having the emoji "Θ" is represented in an SMS text message to provide input for ©306. Although the user interface 120 having the portion 3〇4 selectable to input the emoticon is described as a sub-menu accessible via the punctuation menu of FIG. 2, various options are also contemplated. Other embodiments. For example, the physical button 2〇2 with an emoticon can be selected to cause the emoticon library to be output directly. In this example, another physical button may be dedicated to punctuation so that selection of the other entity button may result in direct output of the punctuation symbol library depicted in Figure 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the functionality of the physical keys in a keyboard 112 (eg, 15 [S] 201106672-QWERTY-arranged keyboard) can be combined with the display device 110 (eg, a touch screen). The selected second and third functions are unloaded onto the display device 110 by the keyboard 112. Thus, the physical keyboard 112 can be simplified, including the first and second functions that are most commonly used, to make these functions easy to use and frequently used. Although some embodiments of the unloading function have been described, it should be readily apparent that the various functions can be unloaded without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which will be further discussed in the following figures. Figure 4 illustrates an embodiment implementation that displays an alternate input on a display device in response to the selection of a physical button of the mobile communication device 1〇2 in Figure 1, relating to the entity One of the first functions of the button. For example, one of the physical keys 4 〇 2 of the keyboard 112 contains a mark indicating the letter "a". Therefore, when the user selects the physical button 402 and does not select another physical button (such as the ALT button), the first function of the physical button 402 is to input the letter "&". In practice, the user interface module 118 can be set to display an alternate input for a particular physical button if the physical button is selected for a specified time. For example, the user can "press" the physical button 402 for two seconds, which may cause the user interface module ιι to display the first function of the physical button 402 in the user interface 120. Replace the input 4〇4. In the above example, the relationship between the first function and the substitute input is that the substitute input includes a letter as the first function, which indicates that the different combinations of the letter "a" are represented by the symbol to apply to the letter. The accent symbol of "a". 16 [S] 201106672 In another embodiment, a user can press and hold a button and have a chirp symbol, the accent symbol is automatically loaded for one of the physical buttons. For example, in the Spanish list SE IOR, the singular symbol "~" can be used to combine with the pull. In order to carry the personified symbol characters, (4) can press and continue to press "N" on the keyboard to load an N-derived set of accent symbols on the display device ". A user can then select from the derived set, for example using a one-touch (four) screen or other indicator control device. Such a 'can improve the confusion caused by the multi-function label on the keyboard' also makes these functions available to the user. Other embodiments of various types can be considered in detail and will be discussed in Figure 6. EXAMPLES PROCEDURES The following discussion will describe alternative input techniques that can be implemented using the systems and apparatus previously described. Each aspect of the program can be implemented in hardware, orthography, software, or a combination of the foregoing. The program is represented as a group of blocks 'which details the operation performed by - or a plurality of devices' and the order in which the operations are performed by the individual blocks need not be limited to f in the section discussed later, Referring to the 帛i diagram: the implementation 200 of the environment 100, f 2 diagram, the implementation of FIG. 3 (and the implementation 400 of FIG. 4).

The user interface includes a plurality of punctuation buttons, and each punctuation button can pass the touch The control screen function is selected to cause a rounding of each of the plurality of punctuation marks. At least one button is displayed in the user interface, and can be selected through the touch screen function, so that a plurality of emoji buttons are outputted. On the user interface, each of the emoji buttons can be selected to cause input of a separate emoji in a plurality of emojis. The emoji as described above can be set to express emotions, such as emulating facial expressions. Figure 6 depicts an embodiment of an embodiment in which a substitute input is output in a user interface to correspond to a letter of a physical letter button. A physical button has been selected for a determination (block 6〇2). For example, the physical button 4〇2 “a” of Figure 4 can be set to provide the main input of the letter “&”, and Therefore, it is referred to as a physical letter button. If the entity letter button is not selected within a specified time, enter one of the letters corresponding to the entity letter button (block 6〇4), like the letter “a” in the previous example.
