Description

Hangul input method and mobile phone using the same method {method for inputting hangul character set and mobile phone using the same}

The present invention relates to a Hangul input method and a mobile phone using the same. More particularly, the Hangul character can be easily used by a user by using a key button provided for a specific use on a keypad and a key button arranged on a keyboard with consonants and vowels. It relates to a method for inputting and a mobile phone supporting the same.

There are many methods in the conventional Hangul character input method. Among them, a method which is currently used in some mobile phones is shown in FIG. 1. That is, it consists of 14 Hangul consonants and 10 Hangul vowels. The vowels are mainly on the right side, i.e., ㅡ, ,, ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ are placed at each digit button 2, 3, 6, 9, #. In the case of consonants, they are mainly on the left side.A, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, H, H, etc. , 7, 8, *, 0. In short, this is as follows.

Consonant to enter once: a, c, b, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅈ, ㅇ

Consonants to be entered twice: ㅋ, ㅌ, ㄹ, ㅅ, ㄷ, ㅋ, ㅎ

Vowel input by pressing once: ㅣ, ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅗ, TT

Press twice to enter vowels: ㅡ, ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅛ, ㅠ

As an example of inputting Hangul using this method, if the character of "Yakbal" is inputted, the input order is as follows.

About: 8 → 3 + 3 → 1

Feet: 8 → 3 → 5 + 5

Here, "+" means to continue pressing the corresponding digit button and "→" means to input the next consonant or vowel. Therefore, when consonants and vowels on the digit button of the keypad 110 are input through this process, the display unit 100 of the mobile phone displays the complete letters consisting of initial, neutral, final, and consonant "Yak". do.

In the embodiment of the conventional method, since both consonants and vowels are present on the keypad, the digit button of the keypad is not only complicated, but it is inconvenient to memorize all the letters of the keyboard according to the arrangement of all the consonants and vowels. . In addition, it takes a long time to input.

An object of the present invention is to provide a Korean input method for allowing a user to input Korean characters easily and quickly by minimizing the arrangement of consonants and vowels on a keypad in a mobile phone. .

The present invention provides a method of effectively arranging consonants and vowels in a mobile phone in which the key buttons are limited due to the size of the mechanism, and thus allowing the user to familiarize the consonants and vowels and to easily input characters. In order to support such character input, four key buttons assigned to generate consonants, six key buttons assigned to generate vowels, and 1 previously inputted characters are identically inputted on the keypad of the mobile phone. It consists of four key buttons. Using this, as the user operates the keypad in the Hangul input mode, Hangul characters are easily input.

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

2 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of a mobile phone according to the present invention.

In order to implement the present invention, a block diagram of a mobile phone includes a control unit 200, a keypad 210, a display unit 220, a memory unit 230, an audio conversion unit 240, and a wireless circuit unit 250. This is done. Referring to the operation of the mobile phone having such a structure as follows.

The controller 200 controls all functions of the mobile phone. In the present invention, the controller 200 processes a corresponding input signal as a user manipulates a keypad and displays the text as a text on the display unit. In addition, the input characters are temporarily stored in the memory unit, and when the user presses a specific key button, the characters stored in the temporary memory are displayed on the display unit. In addition, a keypad is provided with a key button for a storage command, and when the key button is executed, the input characters are stored in the memory.

The keypad 210 inputs the same four key buttons assigned to generate consonants, six key buttons assigned to generate vowels, and previously input characters in the mobile phone. It is composed of one key button. Also, it is composed of a function button and a general button for storing, modifying or recalling input characters, and serve as a medium for transmitting a user's instruction to the control unit 200. .

The display unit 220 displays a character inputted by a key button of a keypad under the control of the controller 200.

The memory unit 230 may input a character processed by the control unit 200, a program for supporting a character input method, setting information according to a setting, a predetermined program for realizing user convenience and basic functions, and the like. Save it. In addition, the mobile phone stores the Hangul characters written by the user.

The audio converter 240 processes the voice recorded by the user of the mobile phone through the microphone as data and transmits it to the controller 200 or processes the data received from the outside to output analog voice through the speaker. In charge.

The wireless circuit unit 250 receives a telephone call or a text message sent by an external telephone through the antenna and transmits it to the control unit 200, or transmits an automatic response message stored in the memory unit to the caller's telephone through the antenna. It plays a role.

3 is a screen example showing a keyboard layout of a keypad according to the present invention and inputting characters using the same.

First, in order to facilitate inputting Korean characters of the present invention, the configuration of the keyboard layout arranged on the keyboard will be described.

1) For consonants:

A total of four key buttons are assigned for consonants. The relationship between each numeric key button and the symbol for generating consonants is as follows.

Make a consonant with the symbols in Table 1 above. Representatively, the process of generating two consonants "ㄷ" and "ㅋ" is described.

"ㄷ": 1 → 2 → 1 That is, "ㅡ" + "ㅣ" + "ㅡ" is entered in the order of stroke that actually writes "ㄷ".

"ㅋ": 1 → 1 → 2 In other words, "ㅡ" + "ㅡ" + "ㅣ" is input in the order of stroke that actually write "ㅋ". (In this case, "+" means that one number key button is pressed and then another number key button is pressed. In the following description, the same meaning is used unless otherwise stated.)

In other words, both letters are composed of two "ㅡ" and one "ㅣ", but the writing order is different, so it is possible to input differently enough. Therefore, in order of stroke, it is possible to generate the remaining consonants separately. Corresponding consonants include "ㅁ", "ㅂ", "ㅌ", and "" ". In other words, if they are written in different order, they can be created with their respective letters.

However, in the case of a pair of consonants, it is completed by inputting a symbol corresponding to a single consonant, and can be easily solved by using a specific key button 300 #. That is, when the user completes the above-described "c", the user immediately presses the "#" key button to generate the double consonant "ㄸ". Corresponding characters are "ㄲ", "ㄸ", "ㅃ", "ㅆ", "ㅉ", and the like.

2) For vowels:

A total of six key buttons are assigned to the collection. The relationship between each numeric key button and the symbol for creating a vowel is as follows.

Placed on the keyboard in the same shape as the vowel order by hand. That is, to reduce the number of inputs, 6 basic vowels were arranged as they were, and 7 and * were set for the vowels so that they were created in the same order as the manual handwriting. In addition, vowels are generated in the direction of less stroke order.

(a) A vowel created by pressing only the corresponding number key buttons: ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅣ, ㅗ, TT, ㅡ

(b) a vowel created using the "-" symbol: ㅡ, ㅑ (ㅏ + ㅡ), ㅕ (ㅡ + ㅓ)

(c) a collection created using the "ㅣ" symbol: ㅣ, ㅐ (ㅏ + ㅣ), ㅔ (ㅓ + ㅣ)

(d) A collection created using both "ㅡ" and "ㅣ": ㅢ (ㅡ + ㅣ), ㅒ (ㅏ + ㅡ + ㅣ), ㅖ (ㅡ + ㅓ + ㅣ)

(e) Vowels: ㅘ (ㅗ + ㅏ), ㅝ (TT + ㅓ), ㅚ (ㅗ + ㅣ), ㅟ ((TT + ㅣ), ㅙ (ㅗ + ㅏ + ㅣ)

Here, the parenthesis shows the vowels needed to generate the consonants in the order of input.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for inputting a character according to the present invention.

In order to input the letter “washing” 420 displayed on the display 400, the key buttons on the keypad 410 may be selected and input in the following order.

"Red" = ㅣ + ㅡ + ㅡ + ㅣ + * + ㅏ + ㅡ + ㅣ + ㅡ + ㅣ + ㅡ In other words, number keys + 2 keys + 2 keys + 1 key + * key + 5 keys + Key 2 + Key 1 + Key 2 + Key 1 + Key 2

"Rae" = ㅡ + ㅣ + ㅡ + ㅣ + ㅡ + ㅏ + ㅣ In other words, number keys + 1 key + 2 key + 1 key + 2 key + 5 key + 7 key

Here, '*' is used to repeat the entered character, thus, 'ㅃ' is generated by repeatedly inputting the completed "ㅂ" before "*" is selected.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated in detail using the preferable Example, the scope of the present invention is not limited to a specific Example and should be interpreted by the attached Claim. In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that many modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

According to the present invention, by placing the keyboard in the same shape as writing vowels and consonants by hand, there is an effect that can quickly enter the Hangul characters.

In addition, since less characters are displayed on the key button for inputting Hangul, the space of the key button becomes wider and convenient to use.
