Description

  The present invention relates to a method for inputting characters in a mobile communication terminal. In particular, a user can input special characters frequently used by using special keys by effectively arranging vowels on key buttons. It's about a device that can easily input Korean characters.

  The input methods used in the conventional Korean communication system for mobile communication terminals include the coordinate method, the continuous hitting method, and the self-dismissal method. The coordinate method is a method of selecting by moving the cursor to move the vowel (consonant) to be input on the LCD screen, and the continuous striking method arranges 2 to 3 consonants and vowels on one back, By pressing the back many times and inputting consonants and vowels, the self-dissertation dismantling method is the most frequently used 'tenchijin' and dismantles one consonant or vowel in smaller units by the 'Naracle 2000' method. It is a method to input characters by combining these.

  Since the coordinate method selects the desired character in the displayed character string, there is an annoyance that must be confirmed one by one, and the repeated tapping method is not practical because it requires many back inputs. Although the most frequently used self-dissert dismantling method is the most used, this method still has to use various backs for the realization of a certain self-complaint.

  In other words, in existing devices, it is necessary to repeatedly enter a character by pressing a keyboard button, which complicates the method of inputting characters, which causes inconvenience to users of mobile terminals. It was.

  Also, with the rapid development of electrical and electronic technology in the modern era, communication terminal devices, PDAs, game consoles, remote devices of the same various types as pagers, CDMA, PCS, TDMA, GSM, AMPS, IMT-2000, etc. Various electronic devices, such as controls, cameras, and home appliances, are becoming smaller and more advanced.

  With the development of information communication, the use of mobile communication terminals, TVs, IMT 2000, and other devices that exchange information is increasing, and characters are often entered using mobile communication terminals and telephones. Today, mobile communication terminals have become an indispensable necessity for the development of wireless communication. Keyboards for small mobile communication terminals, such as sending text messages and sending / receiving mails using mobile phones to provide better additional services More and more are used.

  As is well known, there are many types of characters in the world, but they can be broadly classified into two types: phonetic characters and ideograms, depending on whether or not a unit syllable is meaningful.

  According to another aspect, the phoneme character and the syllable character can be roughly classified according to whether or not the unit syllable can be separated by phoneme.

  Subsequently, English, Japanese, and Korean are listed as representative phonograms. The ideographs are exemplified by Chinese, the syllable representatives are Japanese, and the phonemic characters are representative. Can speak English and Korean.

  And, Japanese is composed of hiragana, katakana and kanji, hiragana is made up of kanji cursive letters, so it can be used in all cases of printing, writing, etc. Katakana is a foreign language, foreign language , Onomatopoeia, mimetic words, articles, names of animals and plants and telegrams.

  However, it is very technically difficult to develop a device that can input Japanese easily and efficiently for multimedia terminals (such as mobile phones and PDAs), which have been rapidly increasing recently.

  In addition, in the case of an existing Japanese character input device, the character composition rules are also complex, and the number of key operations required to input one alphabet corresponding to a Japanese syllable is tremendously high. It was pointed out that it was inconvenient.

  As described in detail, when the alphabet corresponding to the Japanese syllable of the syllable character is divided into syllable units and assigned to each spine, a separate function key for generating a transition character must be prepared.

  In particular, when hiragana and katakana are used in parallel, or when muddy or anti-turbid sound must be input, the back operation recovery is further increased.

  Therefore, there are few terminals with a function that can input Japanese directly, and even if it is a terminal with a function to input Japanese, it is necessary to search and input characters one by one. It has been pointed out that it is inconvenient for the user to use because it has to be pressed and input repeatedly.

  The purpose of the present invention to solve the problem of consideration is to efficiently arrange the consonants and vowels arranged on the keyboard and to use characters without difficulty without looking at the buttons of the mobile communication device.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a drawing in which consonants and vowels are arranged on the keyboard of the character input method according to the present invention.

  It is desirable that special characters are arranged together with the consonant on the back pad 120 on which the consonant is arranged.

  At this time, the special characters that are often used are generally frequently used characters, and it is desirable to place them around the frequently used characters.

  How to use special characters will be explained later.

  In the character input method (100) according to the present invention, the keyboard (110) on which the vowels are arranged and the keyboard (120) on which the consonants are arranged have a separate input method of 'Hangul', 'English', 'English'. Move the character input bar (102) to the right between 'numbers' and 'numbers' (150) to change to 'special characters', delete key (132) to erase the entered characters, and entered characters An input bar that can be moved (134) is provided.

  Also, the screen (page) can be moved backward by pressing (111) to move later, and the screen can be moved from now on by pressing (112) to move from now on.

  At this time, it is desirable that the back key 150 is changed to a “special character” input mode which is not provided in the keyboard 120 when the key is changed once more by “Hangul → English → Number”.

  That is, when the key (150) for changing the input method is pressed a plurality of times, it is repeated in the order of “Hangul → English → Numbers → Special characters”.

  It is also desirable to have both a call button (132) and an end button (134).

  Fig. 2 is a drawing for the vowel input method of the character input method according to the present invention, and Fig. 3 shows that the character input method according to the present invention is changed to 'mouse', and when each key is pressed, it moves left and right and up and down. It can be selected and searched to select, and it is a drawing for the state that the screen (page) will move from now on to move later.

  At this time, when inputting characters, it is desirable that no vowels are input when only the vowels are input without the initial voice (the first consonant) being input.

  In other words, if the key (110) on which the vowel is placed is pressed when the initial voice is not input, the vowel is not input, and the direction of moving the character input bar (102) up, down, left and right is changed. Will do.

  At this time, if you want to input only the vowel without the initial voice, press the key (110) on which the vowel is placed after pressing (134) once to move the input bar. Only vowels can be input.

  In the temporary standby mode, the delete key (132) can be used as a call button to move the input bar, and (134) can be used as an end button.

  At this time, in addition to keying the vowel keypad (110) multiple times and converting it to (110) to change direction, the vowel keypad (110) If you press, the character input bar (102) can be moved up, down, left, and right through the pad (110) to vowel.

  That is, if there is no special process and the character stops while it is being input, the pad (110) will change to turn around to vowel.

  Therefore, the pad (110) moves up, down, left, and right to make a vowel, and the selection key (114) makes a selection, thus acting as a computer mouse.

  FIG. 4 is a drawing for a back usage in which vowels are arranged when converted to the numeric input method of the character input method according to the present invention.

  The special symbols displayed in Fig. 4 illustrate the state where the input method is changed to 'numbers' and when each key is pressed, it is entered on the screen.

  At this time, it is desirable that the order of arrangement on each spine is not the order shown in the drawing but can be arbitrarily determined by the manufacturer, and it is desirable that the mathematical symbols assigned to the basic vowel keys can also be arbitrarily arranged.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for an embodiment of a character input method according to the present invention.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, when a character is input using the character input method according to the present invention, the number of times of pressing is reduced, and the character can be input without difficulty.

  At this time, when only the first consonant of the words constituting the sentence is input, the completed sentence is input from the sentence saved by the user in the memory of the mobile communication terminal or telephone. Is desirable.

  In other words, if the user saves a sentence that is often used and automatically completed in a memory through a menu provided on the mobile communication terminal or telephone, the words that make up the sentence are limited to the above-mentioned stored sentences for the first time. When only the consonant of is input, the completed sentence can be input.

  At this time, it is desirable that the text stored in the memory can be arbitrarily deleted, modified and added by the user.

  Also, if the keyboard (110) is large and is operated according to the direction, the character input bar (102) on the screen can be moved in the desired direction.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram of a telephone number search method using a character input method according to the present invention.

  Referring to Fig. 6, in order to search for a person's telephone number stored in a mobile communication terminal or telephone, the telephone number can be entered by entering the first letter of the name without having to enter the name. Will be searched.
