Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for inputting data in a telephone is provided to simply input the data by reducing the number of key selection when inputting the data. CONSTITUTION: If a numerical key in which an initial sound is arranged is selected once(S10) and a '*' key is selected(S20), a microprocessor selects a background consonant according to the number of selection of the '*' key(S30) and recognizes the selected consonant as the initial sound(S40). If a numerical key on which a medial sound is displayed is selected once(S50), the microprocessor judges whether the '*' key is inputted(S60). If the '*' key is inputted, the microprocessor selects a background vowel(S70). If the '*' key is not inputted, the microprocessor recognizes the selected vowel as the medial sound(S80). When inputting a final sound, the microprocessor judges whether the '*' key is inputted(S110). If the '*' key is inputted, the microprocessor selects a background consonant of a selected numerical key(S120). If the '*' key is not inputted, the microprocessor recognizes a foreground consonant as the final consonant(S130) and completes a character(S140). When inputting the final sound, the microprocessor judges whether a '#' key is inputted(S90). If the '#' key is inputted, the microprocessor recognizes that the character is completed(S140).

Description

How to enter data on the phone

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data input method of a telephone, and more particularly, to a data input method of a telephone that can simplify data input by reducing the number of operations of a key when data is input.

Generally, telephones including wired / wireless telephones, cellular phones, and the like are provided with about 12 to 18 keys, and each key is marked with a different letter or number. Each key performs a variety of functions either alone or in combination with each other.

Among these phones, mobile phones have various functions such as an electronic organizer function or an Internet connection function, and thus have more keys than other types of phones with a display window. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile phone is essentially provided with a menu key for menu selection and a * key and a # key for selecting a function in addition to the ten numeric keys displayed from 0 to 9. Accordingly, a Korean / English key for selecting Korean and English, a call key for a telephone call, a cancel key for canceling an input, and a power key for turning the power on and off are formed. Here, consonants, vowels, and alphabets are arranged on each numeric key to input Korean and English.

If you need to input Korean characters such as text message or phone number input using such a mobile phone, first select the text message mode or phone number input mode, and if it is not set to Korean, use Korean / English key. Select. Then, a number or key is selected to create a desired letter or sentence. At this time, since each number key has a plurality of consonants or vowels, the desired consonant or vowel is selected according to the number of times the number key is selected.

For example, the process of entering the word 'ssangmun-dong' is as follows. To input 'pair' character, select '4', the number key '4' placed four times, and 'ㅆ' for the first time. If you select '4' twice, the final character 'ㅇ' is displayed in the display window sequentially.

In the case of the 'moon', the first adult number 'ㅁ' is selected once by selecting 'ㅁ' and the first adult number 'ㅁ' is selected. If you select 2 times, the final 'b' is displayed on the display window sequentially.

In case of 'Dong', first select '2' number key once, 'c' first number, select '8' number number two times, 'ㅗ' neutral number, select '4' twice number The final species 'ㅇ' is displayed on the display in sequence.

As such, it is necessary to select seven times for the input of the pair, four times for the input of the sentence, and five times for the input of the name of the sentence. need. The number of times varies somewhat depending on the character input method, but in the case of the currently widely used method including the Cheonjiin method, all require 15 or more key inputs.

Therefore, conventionally, when inputting Korean characters using a telephone, there is an inconvenience that a large number of key selections are required.

On the other hand, the phone stores a phone number or various data, and when entering the phone number, the user selects a mode for remembering the phone number, and enters the address corresponding to the shortcut key and the corresponding phone number, the phone number to the address The number will be remembered.

Accordingly, when a user wants to call a recipient having a stored phone number, the user may make a call by entering all the phone numbers, but if the user inputs and selects a address corresponding to the stored phone number, the corresponding phone number is selected. The number is automatically dialed so that you can make a phone call with the other party.

However, if a new phone number is stored in a predetermined address in the above-described manner, and a telephone number needs to be withdrawn in order to make a call, the phone number is only used if the phone number corresponding to each address is stored. If you forget the address, you have to draw out all the stored phone numbers.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data input method of a telephone which can simplify data input by reducing the number of key selections during data input.

5 is a schematic structural diagram of a key arrangement of a telephone according to another embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, in the data input method of a telephone having a plurality of keys in which at least one consonant and at least one vowel are arranged, when one of the keys is selected first, the consonant arranged in the key A consonant having the highest priority among the first consonants; Selecting one of the keys for the second time, and inputting a vowel having the highest priority among the vowels arranged in the key; Selecting one of the keys for the third time, inputting a final consonant among the consonants arranged in the key; Selecting a function key for selecting a subordinated consonant and a vowel among the at least one consonant and the at least one vowel arranged in the key between the key and the key selection so that the subordinated consonant and the vowel are sequentially selected and inputted It can also be achieved by the data input method of the telephone, characterized in that.

Herein, the function key is a '*' key, and it is preferable that consonants or vowels of lower priority are sequentially inputted according to the number of selection of the function keys.

Repeated consonants formed by repeating the same consonants among the consonants arranged on the key may be input by selecting the function key.

The consonants formed by combining different consonants among the consonants arranged on the key may be input by selecting a key on which a priority consonant is arranged and then selecting the function key.

It is preferable that the plurality of consonants arranged on the key include a subordinated consonant consisting of one consonant except the highest priority consonant, the repetitive consonant and the compound consonant sequentially selected by the function key.

After the initial and neutral input, if a specific key is selected, it can be recognized as a character without the trailing character.

The subordinate vowel includes a complex vowel in which a plurality of vowels are combined, and is preferably input by selection of the function key.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the data input method of the telephone, the initial, neutral, and final properties are sequentially inputted according to the key input order.

As shown in FIG. 2, the keypad of the telephone using this data input method includes each of the numeric keys 0 through 9, a menu key for menu selection, a * key for selecting a function, a # key, and the like. This is essentially formed. In addition, depending on the model, a Korean / English key for selecting Korean and English, a call key for a telephone call, a cancel key for canceling an input, and a power key for turning the power on and off are formed.

Here, consonants, vowels, and alphabets are arranged on each numeric key for inputting Korean and English, and consonants and vowels are arranged on each numeric key. The consonants and vowels assigned to each numeric key are as follows. 1 → ㄱ, ㅋ (ㅏ) 2 → ㄴ (ㅑ), 3 → ㄷ, ㅌ (ㅓ), 4 → ㅅ (ㅕ), 5 → ㅈ (ㅗ), 6 → ㄹ, ㅁ (ㅛ), 7 → ㅊ (TT), 8 → ㅂ, ㅍ (ㅠ), 9 → ㅎ (ㅡ), 0 → ㅇ (ㅣ). Each numeric key is set to select consonants and vowels of the same series in addition to the consonants and vowels displayed on the numeric keys. The consonants and vowels selectable through the respective numeric keys are ranked.

For example, the number key '1' is arranged as a consonant, a consonant of the 'a' series and a collection of the 'ㅋ' and 'ㅏ' series. Looking at the order of consonants, 'ㄱ' is the highest priority consonant, 'ㅋ' is the second priority consonant, 'a' series of consonants and compound consonants form a subordinate priority. There are '반복' in the repeating consonants of the 'ㄱ' series and 'ㄳ' in the compound consonants. The rank of the vowel is 'ㅏ' as the highest priority collection, and 'ㅐ' is the lower priority.

In the phone microprocessor, when characters are inputted in Korean such as text message or phone number input, the first selection of the numeric keys recognizes the consonants of the selected numeric keys as first, and the second selection of the numeric keys. The vowel of is recognized as neutral, and when the number key is selected a third time, it is set to recognize the consonant of the selected numeric key as the finality. The microprocessor is configured to sequentially select subordinate consonants or vowels of the selected numeric key when the '*' key is selected after the numeric key is selected. In addition, the microprocessor recognizes the next consonant as the first character of the next character by using the '#' key after inputting the initial and neutral characters when the character does not have the final character.

For example, if you input 'month', if you select '3' number one time, 'ㄷ' is input, if you select '1' number one time, 'ㅏ' is input and number key '6' If you select '1', 'ㄹ' is entered. If you input 'Me', select '6' number one time and select '*' key once to input subordinate consonant 'ㅁ', select number key '3' once and press '*' Selecting a key once enters 'ㅔ', a collection of 'ㅓ' series. And, since 'Me' has no finality, '#' key is selected once instead of finality.

On the other hand, when inputting consonant consonants in the microprocessor, all consonants are not sequentially selected when the '*' key is selected, but only consonants used for the initial consonants among the consonants arranged on the numeric keys are sequentially selected. . Similarly, when the final consonant is input, only the consonants used for the finality are sequentially selected when the '*' key is selected.

For example, in case of entering 'hang' of 'break', select '1' once, then press '*' key twice, and the consonant 'ㄲ' will be recognized as a consonant. In this case, only 'AB', 'ㅋ', 'ㄲ' and 'ㄳ', which can be used for the initial consonant among 'A', 'ㅋ', 'ㄲ' placed on the numeric keys '1' * 'The key is selected in order. Neutral' ㅡ 'is selected by selecting the number key' 7 'once and final' 종 'is selected by pressing' 2 'once and then' * '. The key is selected by selecting the key twice, where the 'b', 'ㄵ', and 'ㄶ' used in the 'b' sequence are selected sequentially according to the selection of the '*' key.

In this way, the number of times of input of the numeric keys can be reduced by being different from the consonants selected during the initial and neutral input.

If you need to use Korean characters such as text message or phone number input using such a phone, first select text message mode or phone number input mode, and if it is not set to Korean, use Korean / English key. Select. Then select the numeric keys to create the letters or sentences you want.

For example, the process of inputting the word 'ssangmun-dong' is as shown in FIG. 3. If you select the number key '4' where the first 'ㅆ' is placed once to enter the 'pair' character (S10) and select the '*' key (S20), the microprocessor selects the number of '*' keys. According to the consonant of the 's' series consonants are selected (S30), the selected consonants are recognized as initial consonants (S40). Accordingly, when the '*' key is selected once, the microprocessor recognizes 'ㅆ', which is a subordinate consonant of 'ㅅ' and a repeating consonant of 'ㅅ', as an initial consonant.

When the numeric key '1' having the neutral 'ㅏ' is selected once (S50), the microprocessor determines whether there is an input of the '*' key (S60), and if there is an input of the '*' key. Selects a subordinate vowel of '선택' (S70), and if there is no input of the '*' key, recognizes 'ㅏ' as neutral (S80).

Similarly, if you select the numeric key '0' marked with the final character 'ㅇ' once, 'ㅇ' is recognized as the final character. On the other hand, in general, when the final input of the microprocessor determines whether the input of the '*' key (S110), and if the input of the '*' key selects the subordinate consonant of the selected numeric key (S120), '* If there is no input of the key, the character is completed by recognizing the highest priority consonant as the finality (S130 and S140). On the other hand, the microprocessor determines whether there is an input of the '#' key when the finality is input (S90), and when there is an input of the '#' key, the microprocessor recognizes that the character is completed (S140).

When each numeric key is input, the microprocessor recognizes the initial, neutral, and finality in order according to the input order, and if there is an input of '*' key, it is recognized as a subordinate consonant or vowel.

In the case of the 'letter', the number key '6' with 'ㅁ' is selected once, and 'ㅁ' is placed after the 'ㄹ', so if the '*' key is selected once, the microprocessor ㅁ 'is recognized as an initial constellation. If the number key '7' is selected once, the 'TT' is recognized as neutral, and if the number key '2' is selected once, the 'b' is recognized as the finality, thus completing the 'letter'.

In the case of 'Bon', first choice '3' is selected when the number key '3' is selected, 'ㄷ' is selected when the number key is '1', and 'ㅗ' is selected when the number key '5' is selected once. 'ㅇ' is recognized and the 'dong' is completed.

In the case of using the data input method of the present invention, since four key operations are required when inputting a pair of characters, four times when a character is input, and three times when an input of a copper character is required, inputting of a pair is required. A total of 11 key operations are required.

On the other hand, the prior art illustrated as described above in the prior art required 16 key inputs when inputting the 'Ssangmun-dong', and all other methods including the Cheonjiin method require 15 or more key inputs.

When storing data such as phone number, schedule, birthday, etc. by this data input method, when the user inputs data including letters and numbers, the microprocessor codes the initiality of each entered letter and stores the calling code together with the data. Done. Here, the call code is formed by sequentially showing the numbers corresponding to the numeric keys on which the initials are arranged, and when the numeric keys on which the initials of the letters are arranged are selected, the corresponding data may be called again.

For example, if you enter the phone number '123-4567' Hong Gil-dong, the name and phone number will be stored by designating the address. At this time, the microprocessor sequentially connects the numeric keys '9', '9', '9', numeric key '1' and numeric key '3', which are the initial characters of the character data 'Hong Gil-dong'. '913' is recognized as the code of 'Hong Gil-dong' and stored. In addition, when the user wants to withdraw the telephone number of 'Hong Gil-dong', the number keys '9', the number keys '1', and the number keys '3' are sequentially selected. Then, the microprocessor converts the inputted by the input numeric key into the call code '913', and searches for the data having the character corresponding to the same call code among the stored data, and searches for 'Hong Gil-dong' corresponding to '913' and its value. The telephone number is withdrawn. At this time, a phone number having the same code is withdrawn at the same time. For example, in the case of 'Hakyodeok', since it has the same code as 'Honggildong', if '913' is selected, 'Honggildong' and 'Hakyodeok' The numbers are withdrawn at the same time. Then, the user can select a phone number of the desired phone number 'Hong Gil-Dong' using the key and press the call key to directly talk.

On the other hand, when the whole of the character data is not remembered and only a part of it is remembered, the character data can be taken out by selecting the '*' key in place of the characters that are not remembered. For example, if 'Hong' of 'Hong Gil-dong' is not remembered, first select the '*' key, and then sequentially select the numeric key '1' and the numeric key '3'. 'Will be inputted, and all the two digits followed by' 13 'will be withdrawn. This allows you to easily withdraw the desired material even if you do not know the code completely.

Thus, in the present invention, the consonants and vowels of the Hangul are placed on each numeric key, and if there is no '*' key input, the consonants of the first selected numeric key are consonant and the vowels of the second selected numeric key are neutral, The third selected numeric key is to be recognized as the final consonant.

According to the data input method of the present invention, when inputting the 'ssangmun-dong' in one embodiment, a total of 11 key operations are required, whereas a conventional key method requires at least 15 key operations. Therefore, in the present invention, as the number of key inputs is drastically reduced in comparison with the related art, not only the input operation of Korean characters can be simplified, but also the time required for the input operation can be shortened.

In addition, by encoding and storing the initiality of the characters in the data, data can be easily withdrawn using the data code using the initiality of the characters even when the address where the data is stored is not stored.

On the other hand, Figure 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of a telephone key arrangement according to another embodiment of the present invention, 1 → ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅏ (2), 2 → ㅑ (3), 3 → ,, ㅓ (ㅓ), 4 → ㄹ, ㅁ (ㅕ), 5 → ㅂ (ㅗ), 6 → ㅅ (ㅛ), 7 → ㅇ (ㅜ), 8 → ㅈ (ㅠ), 9 → ㅊ (ㅡ), 0 → ㅎ (ㅣ) It is arranged. In this embodiment, frequently used consonants are arranged one by one for each numeric key, and consonants such as ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ which are not frequently used are arranged in one numeric key. 12 key inputs are required for input.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5 the phone key array 1 → ㅏ (2), 2 → ㄴ, ㄷ (ㅑ), 3 → ㄹ, ㅁ (ㅓ), 4 → ㅂ (ㅕ), 5 → → (ㅗ ), 6 → ㅇ (ㅛ), 7 → ㅈ (ㅜ), 8 → ㅊ (ㅠ) 9 → ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ (ㅡ), 0 → ㅎ (ㅣ).

As described above, according to the present invention, by reducing the number of key input, it is possible to simplify the input of Korean characters and to shorten the input time.
