Description

How to edit documents on your mobile device {DOCUMENT EDITING METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE}

The present invention relates to an application technology of a mobile communication terminal, and particularly, to edit a sentence more easily and quickly by utilizing various editing functions including copying, pasting, and cutting, when inputting a short message or a schedule using the terminal. The present invention relates to a document editing method of a mobile communication terminal.

In recent years, the mobile terminal has been expanded from a simple mobile phone to a portable information communication terminal, so that a large amount of information can be seen at a glance. The situation is changing to a size that can be done.

As a result, a service for reading an e-book using a mobile communication terminal has already been developed, and it is expected that a simple document preparation will be achieved through the terminal in the future. It is becoming.

Of course, you can create a long text document using the current short message editing function, but there is no cancellation function for the contents entered once, and you want to change the syntax before or after inputting the contents or copy the input contents. Since there is no function to enable it, repetitive sentences must be re-entered, and if you want to change the position of a word, re-enter the text at the new location and delete the text at the old location. There is a problem that must be done.

In other words, conventionally, if there is a phrase that is repeated when editing a sentence, there is no copy function, so even if the phrase has already been entered, it must be input again and again. There was a cumbersome problem of having to re-enter and re-enter where you want to delete it.

Therefore, in all cases shown in the above example, since all the phrases must be entered every time, there is a problem in that the number of inputs increases and the input time takes much.

Accordingly, the present invention has been created to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, by using a variety of editing functions, including copying, pasting, and cutting using any function key on the keypad of the terminal, thereby providing a sentence An object of the present invention is to provide a method for editing a document of a mobile communication terminal, which enables easier and faster editing.

1 is an exemplary view illustrating a function of a menu selection window and a document editing window displayed on a display window of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

Figure 2 is an exemplary view shown to explain in more detail the document editing method by the phrase movement process by the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a mobile communication terminal having an LCD display window capable of displaying a plurality of lines. When performing a short message or document editing using the terminal, character input and editing are performed. And a menu selection window for outputting various menus necessary for document editing and a document editing window for display on the display window, and selectively activates the menu selection window or the edit window by a predetermined function key, and menus of the menu selection window. It is characterized in that the execution is to edit the text of the edit window.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First of all, in the present invention, unlike a word processor, a limited number of keypads must be used to implement a document editing function, and thus a new definition of some function keys is required.

That is, when creating a document such as a short message or a schedule, as shown in FIG. 1, a menu selection window is displayed at an arbitrary position (top or bottom of the screen), and a desired function is selected and used therefrom.

The menu selection window may be, for example, copying, pasting, common phrases, fonts, or the like, and when the menu bar cannot be displayed on one screen, the menu selection window can be moved and selected using a direction key.

Here, the copy function is a function of copying by setting a desired part as a block among the previously written message or the contents created on the current screen, and can be easily called and used at any time when registered in 'commercial phrase'.

Next, the process of copying and pasting a part of the contents of the document editing method will be described.

First, if the phrase to be copied while editing in the edit window 10, press the window switch key (K3) to switch the active window from the current edit window 10 to the menu selection window 20, the direction key (K2) Move the cursor to the 'Copy' menu by using) and press the Select key (K5).

When the copy function is selected as described above, the window switch key K3 is pressed again to return the active window to the edit window 10, and then the cursor is moved in front of the phrase to be copied using the direction key K2.

Next, while pressing the select key K5 while moving to the phrase to copy using the direction key K2, the select key K5 is released to set a block to copy.

As such, the copied block text is temporarily stored in a buffer (not shown) in the terminal and loaded when the paste function is executed.

In this case, the paste function is a function to move the copied content or common phrases to a desired position, and then create them, and the font is a function for converting them into various fonts according to the tastes or preferences of various users. This function is to save the phrase to be used at any time.

Of course, the function key used in the description of the embodiment is a key added by arbitrarily defining a function for convenience of description, and according to the terminal manufacturer, a new function key is not added, and an existing function key (“＊” It is obvious that new features can be added and used depending on the mode by using "＃").

However, in order to facilitate editing, there must be a selection key and a moving key for block setting, and a key that provides a menu for cutting or copying a blocked phrase and the copied phrase can be moved and pasted to a desired position. I need a key.

Then, with reference to the exemplary diagram of Figure 2 will be described in more detail with respect to the character input method of the present invention by the phrase movement process.

First, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, when the phrase 'Hong Gil-dong LG Electronics' is input in the edit window 10, and the position of the phrases 'Hong Gil-dong' and the phrase 'LG Electronics' is changed. The user presses the window switch key K3 to change the active window to the menu selection window 20.

Next, move the cursor to the 'Cut' menu as shown in (b) by pressing the direction key (K2) .If the cursor moves to the 'Cut' menu, press the select key (K5) to open the 'Cut' menu. Choose.

Next, switch the active window from the menu selection window 20 to the edit window 10 by pressing the window switch key (K3), and while holding the selection key (K5) using the arrow keys (K2) from 'hong' to 'dong' Move to ', set to block, and then release selection key K5.

Then, while releasing the selection key K5, the phrase 'Hong Gil-dong' is cut out in the display window 10 as shown in (c).

Of course, depending on the function key setting, it is obvious that the 'Hong Gil-dong' block can be set first, and then the order can be changed to be cut at the moment of selecting the 'Cut' menu.

Next, the user moves the cursor to the position after the 'LG electronic' to paste the 'Hong Gil-dong' cut out above, presses the window switch key (K3) to change the active window to the menu selection window 20, and then (d Select the 'Paste' menu.

The menu selection method is performed in the same manner as in the case of 'cut'.

At this time, if you want to cancel the operation just made, press the cancel key (K4) to return to the original state.

Next, when the 'paste' is selected as described above, 'Hong Gil-dong' is pasted to the display window 10 where the cursor after the 'LG electronic' is located as shown in (e). As a result, the phrase 'LG Electronics Hong Gil-dong' appears on the screen.

As described above, the document editing method of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention enables a user to quickly and easily edit a sentence by using various editing functions including copy, paste, and cut using an arbitrary function key on the keypad of the terminal. By making it editable, the user's convenience is improved.
